CLIFFORD TALKS OUT
About the State Bills and
Their Chances at the Pres
ent Session,
And Then Turns to the Gen.
Allen Interview in the
Globe,
In Which He Ism t a Bit Sleepy,
But Is Spicy and Sar-
castle.
He Thinks Allen Is a Great
Man, But Needs Edwards
to Guide Him.
Snecial To the Globe

Special to the Globe.
Clifford had some things 10 say to-day,
which, l believe, will be read with in
terest by all Dakotians. He said:
Regarding the chances for a state
hood bill this session think the matter
is working favorably. There is, of
course, no positive objection from the
Republican side of the house to consid-
ering tbs senate bill for the admission
of South Dakota, and they are willing to
take chances against the bill of Mr..
Springer, the omnibus BILL" going
through. What objections have been
offered so far are only temporary, for
the purpoee of giving an opportunity
for consultation and to arrange matters.
If our Democratic friends wish to
take up the statehood bills, they GER
tainly have the power TO do so, and |
think many of them
ARE IN EARNEST
and wish the bills considered, although
they disagree with us regarding our two
state plan. Mr.. Cox, of New York, is
undoubtedly with us. His recent pub
lished interview is just as he has talked,
so far as the admission of Dakota is con-
cerned. He was statesman before the
war, has looked into the whole question
and is right. Mr.. Cox has simply
reached and grasped the situation in
advance of vast majority of his party
friends.
The next congress will be Republican,
the house by at least seven majority,
but
DAKOTA HAS NEVER
made her claims upon the grounds of
her RepublicaniSm. 1t is because her
claims are right and just, and now the
people of the United States have
declared that her claim must be recog-
nized and justice done her.
| am in favor of passing the senate or
Plat bill, with one important amend
ment. | think the bill should provide
for n new election of officers, to take
place when the constitution with the
amendments concerning the boundary
and name is voted upon.
There is considerable doubt as to
when the term of many of the officers
expires and there might be considerable
confusion il no concise provision is
made now concerning an election.
| think no one can object to this.
Inc people or North Dakota have
moved none too soon for statehood.
There will be at least
SEVEN TERRITORIES
knocking loudly and vigorously at the
doors of the next congress for admission.
Idaho is sure to apply. The enabling
act for the admission of North Dakota
now on the senate calendar, and the re-
port of the Republican members of the
house committee will place the claims
of North Dakota in most favorable
position before the next congress, and !
think equal to or better than that of any
other territory except South Dakota.
1t is improbable to suppose that all of
these territories will be admitted by one
congress, and it behoOveS our brothers
In North Dakota TO be alert and make
no mistakes. So far, think they have
done the best thing possible under the
circumstances.

A DEMOCRATIC PAPER
Is Needed and Will Find a Good
Opening i'm the Hills.

Special TO the Globe.
DEADwooD, Oak. Dec. 1.-THE Black
Hills, and Deadwood in particular,
never stood in need of a good Demo-
cratic paper so badly as they do now.
The time is ripe for Democratic daily
to be started, and it would not require a
great deal of capital to put a plant of
that description on paying basis.
With two exceptions the newspapers of
the Black Hills are all Republican, and
the two exceptions are both weekly pa
pers, one of which is published in
Rapid City and the other at Tilford.
small village in Lawrence county.
DeadwOod has two daily newspapers,
both excellent newspapers, but lacking
in any well defined political policy.
Nominally Republican, they are both
under the cantrol of that faction of the
party denominated by the straightouts
as the mugwumps. During the recent
campaign their support of the county
ticket was rather lukewarm. They kept
the ticket at the head of their columns,
but rarely ever alluded to it editorially.
That the Republican leaders were in
digDant at this style of politics can be
imagined, and if good Democratic
paper were established here there is
little doubt that the county officials
would throw good part of their patron
age TO it, by way of punishment to their
own unfaithful organs.

conceded the election of Collins until
late in the afternoon rumorS of fraud
were circulated. Returns were re-
ceived from all precincts except Gale
donia in Trail, and LakOta in Nelson.
For some unaccountable reason these
were held back. Great surprise was
manifested when news was finally re-
ceived that the judges
WERE STILL COUNTING
the ballots. AT last, on the second day.
word reached Grand Forks that Gale
donia had polled 240 votes, giving
Walsh large majority, when all pre-
viuus records show no higher than 125
votes. But LakOta went one better and
reported $40 votes, when 76 had
been the usual number, OF course
test was entered, but the case was
managed badly, and at Bismarck
Walsh was given the seat. AT that
time he had the railroad men
supporting him, and their influence was
felt among the saloons at the capital.
During his legislative term Walsh Sc
cured the enactment OF two or three
special laws for the express purpose of
Furnishing his political opponents, and
it is whispered that one or two unsavory
transactions occurred during the last
few weeks of his term. The outcome of
the present contest will be watched with
interest by the people of Grand Forks
county. and North Dakota generally. 1t
might be interesting to know that Walsh
polled comparatively small vote
among the farmers of the county. Win
ships majority in the county being $40.
Walsh's strength came from the city.
where the saloon men all rallied to his
support. Many of the
MONEY LOANERS ALSO
wheeled into line and "bucked" Win
ship because they were afraid he would
cooperate with the alliance men and
injure their business, or rather favor
laws that will give farmers some pro-
lection from the grasping fists of the
money men. The evidence has all
been taken in the contest. and the law
yers are preparing the ease TO submit il
to the legislature. 1t is expected that
not longer than ten days after the open
ing of the legislature will be consumed
in deciding whether Walsh or Winship
shall represent this county.

ALLEN WOULD TAKE WATER,
But Clifford Has His Back Up and
Won't Let Him Out.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Dee. IA met John
II. King and delegate Clifford in the
house corridor this afternoon, and Mr..
King said: do you know that Harri-
son Allen is denying his interview with
YOU about Clifford? He says he never
gave an interview of any sort or de-
scription."
That's all right" interrupted Judge
Clifford; ALLEN has talked just the
same way TO others. One of the Penn
sylvania Republican members told me
a few days ago that Allen was abusing
me in the same vein. / am not worried
about what he says or thinks. He be-
longs to North Dakota; or else North
Dakota belongs 10 him."
The fact of the matter is that within
half an hour after Harrison Allen regis
tered at the National hotel. the GLOBE
man called on him and was very
cordially received. Gen. Allen walked
to the end of the hotel Office counter,
drew two chairs together, and talked in
the eloquent and interesting manner
which was veraciously transmitted to
the GLOBE. His denial of the fact will
not avail him.

IS COSTLY CARELESSNESS.
Thousands Of Mortgages Paid Are Not
Cancelled on the Records.
UNDER THE NEW STATUTE,
To Go Into Effect Jan. l, Fee Will
Have to Be Paid on ALI OF
These.

Special to the Globe.
HIRoN, Oak, Dec. Att would be
well if every person doing business IN
Dakota would rememer the fact that
very large number of mortgages appear
on the records in the Office of the regis
ter of deeds of the various counties that
have been paid but never released
cancelled on the records. This is
due to the laxity of many people in the
transaction OF business. That these
mortgages will make trouble in the
future there is no question. The trans
fer of real property will be more general
in the next i've years than ever before
in the history of Dakota, and where
satisfied mortgages are permitted to re-
main uncanceled OIL the records much
trouble is certain to follow. Three
such cases have come to light here
within the past few days, and one OF
them is likely to
COST THE PARTY
several hundred dollars for his careless
ness. One real estate dealer and loan
agent reports that out of thirteen trans
fers and loans made during the month
of November. he had much difficulty in
securing title to seven of the tracts, be-
cause of defects occasiOned either by
wholly failing to have mortgages
and liens Cancelled after pay
ment, or by insufficient entries on
the records where cancellation had been
made. OF the cases noted two were in
this county, one in Hand, two in SPHINX,
one in Jerauld and one in Kihgsbury
county. By this it will be seen that
the carelessness referred to is not con-
fined to any particular locality.
NEW LAW
will go into effect the 1st OF January
next, requiring the register of deeds to
account for ali fees collected by him,
and turn the same over to the county
treasurer. He will be required to charge
and collect % cents for the cancellation
of a chattel mortgage and full
legal fees for recording all in
struments that go to record Ill
his office. There will be no deviation
from the requirements of the law, as
after the 1st of January the register re-
ceives a stipulated salary, and has no
part or portion in the fees-they wholly
belong to the county. There are thou
sands OF dead mortgages that have never
been released, and if allowed TO remain
so till after the first of next month
IL will put hundreds of dollars into the
treasures of the counties to obtain
their release. This matter. though
small in the estimation of many, should
be Immediately looked after--it will not
only save money and annoyance, but
will give your credit boost and clear

SIOUX CITY, Dec. 14.-Tuesday was
signalized by an event of no small inn
portance to Sioux Falls, and which may
prove far-reaching in its beneficent re-
suits to her material growth and pros
perity. On that day this city received
and entertained nearly 200 important
guests, including officials of the Mani
tOba railway and prominent citizens of
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Willmar, Pipe
stone and other towns along the line.
The special train of nine coaches was
met at Lynd by delegation of city Off
Gals, business men and representatives
of the press from Sioux Falls. The
train arrived in the city at about 2:30,
and the visitors were then conducted to
the hotels for dinner. The afternoon
was spent by the party i'll looking over
the city, viewing the various points Of
interest, and enjoying as their various
tastes inclined the freedom" accorded
to them.
1t was a matter of regret that Presi-

suddenly called to New York on i'm
pOrtant business. The following rail-

The feature of the occasion was the
formal reception and banqnet at Ger
mania hall in the evening. With
bounte0uS spread of good things for
the inner man, music and elOquence to
delight the ear, and, through and above
all, spirit of cordial good fellowship,
the occasion was memorable one.
Space and time would not permit even
an outline of the many speeches made.
Suffice to say that most of the officials
present and prominent gentlemen from
the various cities had their 'say"-and
said it
GRACEFULLY AND HAPPILY;
some brilliantly. Noteworthy in this
connection was the address of Col. j.
II. Drake, which was in his happiest
vein and mastery effort. Taken all
in all, the occasion was mutually pleas

management of this affair the Queen
city has covered herself with glory, and
surpassed herself in hospitality. The

casion. 1t furnished magnificent
train of cars for three days service and

number of pieces of metal were discov-

either tin. lead or silver. Fragments
subjected to acid stand the silver test,

interest by people of this region, who
have never dreamed of the existence of
mineral wealth under their fertile acres.

But More Indictments Were

Special to the Globe.
BRooKINGs, OAK. Dec. 14.-Out Of
about thirty cases bound over to court
for selling liquor without license nine
indictments were found. Two of the
victims skipped the country, two of the
indictments failed and five fines were
assessed, ranging from $50 to $40.
Only one fine will be paid. The others
have conspired "to beat the county" by
boarding out their fines with the sheriff.
A fine OF one hundred dollars was given
one bully for biting the finger of
another in drunken row. The
prevailing opinion is that the Judge
did his whole duty, but the grand
jury are receiving a sound scoring
for not finding more indictments. The
members of that body, on the other
hand, assert that no evidence was pre-
sented to them i'll regard to certain sa-
loonkeepers bound over. while with
others the district attorney made every
effort to pile up all the charges against
them he could. Many of the temper

termined to fight it out if it takes all

against one of the BrOOkings druggists
who barely escaped indictment by the

put over till morning. In the mean
