SIOUX FALLS, Oak, Nov. 26.-Judge
Clifford was in town this week preparing for
his departure to Washington on Sunday.
He says he is very hopeful that Dakota will
receive the attention from congress that she
deserves and is justly entitled to at this
winters session. The opening of the Sioux
reservation is regarded by the judge as sure
to be brought about this winter and the
lands made available for settlement. There
IS no opposition to this. even among the
Indians. provided the bill is not loaded
down with railroad grants and other Objec-
tiOnable features presented by the Dawes
bill. A compromise between the senate
and house is looked for and confidently ex-
pected, and the Indians moved back to make
room for the already encrOaching settlers.
Dakota needs an addition of two members
to the supreme court of the territory, and
the creation of the two new districts
made necessary by such addition. The
present judges are greatly OverW0rked. and
the calendars in each county are rapidly i'll
creasing. with no prospect of immediate
trials and termination of the various suits.
According to Judge Clifford. the excuse for
inactiOn on the part of congress last winter
was that the statehood question was under
consideration. and 1t would be unwiSe to
take any action in this direction until the
statehood question was disposed of. But
the demand is now SO urgent that the judge
thinks congress will listen to the appeal of
Dakota for an increase of her judiciary,
especially as it would mean two new APP
pointmants of Democrats to Office.
The questions of division and admission.
admission as one state and division without
admission. at present will, in the opinion of
the delegate occupy the attention OF con-
gress in some form this winter. 1t is con-
ceded that the Harrison bill is practically
dead. and that it is more than doubtful
whether the Hill bill can be carried in the
horse. but it is certainly the wish of Dakota
that the question, in some form. be submit
ted to a vote of the people to determine
matter on which Dakota's politicians are
very free to express their opinion, with out
thus far insisting that the people should
have voice III the decision.

TERRITORuAL TIDBuTs.

The papers north are freely airing their
know ledge of law in regard to the county seat
contest. 1t seems that a statute of the last
legislature provides that at the first general
election in new county the voters NAV vote
for permanent location of the cou MY seat
a majority to determine and shall not be de-
prIved of this right bv informalities. The
county boa in Eddy was in the interest of
New Rockford. DunDelPs town. which has had
the county seat so they ignored the question.
But parties interested in building the new
town of Tiffery quietly put that name on their
ballots and it received about all the ballots
naming any point, but not majority of the
total vote of the county. The canvassing
boird refused to count these ballots, and legal
proceedings have heen Instituted to compel
their count and secure the removal of the
county seat to Tiffluy. Aside from technical
irregularities. the question involved is
whether the law means majority of the voters
of the county, as shown by the aggregate
vote Both sides are securing able counsel
and propose to fight for the prize.
The Park River Gazette says there is COM
plants in that section that travelling agents
of the Insurance COMPANY of Dakota impose
upon the farmers in representing that 1t is
the only company authorized to do business
in Dakota. In one instance named farmer
insured in the St. Paul Fire and Marine on
81 900 tor five year for Sc year, was induced
to cancel and gave list of articles to the
for ST. 500, covering some articles he did not
have, with premium note of 500 to be paid
within a year. The Da'yo+a company will
lose It's standing if it has many such agents.
Judge Gifford's home organ announces that
he will work arm-in-arm at Washington with
Mr.. Day for the success of all Dakota
measures, but has no idea what can be done
in regard to state bills. He will Kick over the
nlatform built for him at Yankton, and favor
submission to the people of the division ques-
tiop. He does not advise his friends to wager
more than very cheap cigars over the passage
of the Hill or any similar bill. He is more
bopeful. however, in regard to tn opening of
the Sioux reservation.

and believed that the president will follow
the advice given him by a prominent
Dakota Democrat and insert in his mes
sage recommendation to congress for an
increased appropriation for government
surveys. There is nothing that could meet
with the more hearty approval of the peo-
pie of the entire Northwest. He is also eX-
pected to make recommendation for
the contraction OF the Indian reservations.
The various Indian associations are in favor
OF granting lands in severalty to the In

Special to the Globe.
HURON. OAK, Nov. 23.-Under the pro-
visions of the present law taxes become de-
linouent the 1st of February each year.
| The past season has been one of unfavOr-
able results to large majority of farmers
| in South, Central and Eastern Dakota and
also portions of North Dakota, but no sec
| ton suffered more seriously than the settlers
| in the south part of the territory
| from damage to crops by drouth.
| In many instances the wheat yield
was scarcely sufficient to pay the expense
| of threshing. and oats and flax but little if
any better, while corn, with its greatly in
| creased acreage, will not aggregate much
| larger total in bushels than was realized the
year previous. This does not apply to all,
however, for, in fact, all have enough for
bread to last them through the winter,
while many have considerable for market.
As yet but few farmers have cattle suitable
for market, and sheep and hogs are not
very numerous. and what are offered to
butchers bring only nominal price. In
view of this condition of affairs and the fact
that few settlers care to take chances on
making final proof on their claims and
placing mortgages thereon while Commits
sioner Sparks runs affairs so
DIRECTLY CONTRARY
to the interests of Dakota settlers, it will
be an impossbility for many to raise money
sufficient to pay their taxes, and the delin-
ent lists for 1886 will be much greater
in the majority of counties in this section
than those of any preceding year. Farm
ers are not the only class who will be COM
PEELED to allow their taxes to become delin-
quent, but business men generally will
share in what affects the agriculturist in
this respect. The only means of relief will
be for the legislature to pass bill extend
.ng the time of delinquency till June or
even later, as was the case two years ago.
In fact it would be better if
the time could be changed
to an earlier date in the fail-say Novem-
ber-when farmers will have better OPP
portunity to provide for the payment Of
their taxes than is afforded them in Febru-
ary-a month frequently attended with
severe weather and storms. rendering
travel to the county seat often uncomfort-
able. if not impossible. Already there is
growing sentiment in favor of an extension
of time for the present year, if not per-
manent change. and the legislature Will
have its attention called to this matter
early in the session,

SIOUX FAILS, Nov 26.-The 100000 appro-

fifteen members met here the past week and
requested Gov. Millette to call the state legis-
lature to meet it ut Huron on the 18th of De-
cember. Just what they propose to do none
can find out, but one thing is certain, the
constitutional convention will live just as long
as the appropriation lasts and no longer. Sioux
Falls and Huron can stand it first rate, but,
as L. 6. Johnson suggested in political
speech during the recent campaign, the CEN
