The treasury department has pur-
chased two months supply of silver bullion
at the low rates which prevailed few weeks
ago, the average price paid having been about
three cents per ounce less than the present

ficient for coinage until the annual state
ment at the mints, which will be made in

The supreme court of the United States
has at length decided the celebrated Usage
land case, the decision being in favor of the
settlers against the railroad companies. The
question involved the title of 100000 acres of
land in Kansas, and was the largest and per-
haps most important land case ever pre-
sented for adjudication in this country.
There are now on these ceded lands popu-
lation of at least fifteen thousand people,
possessing schools, churches and various
industrial establishments. A decision in
favor of the railroad companies would have
abrogated the title of these people to their
property, which was regularly purchased
from the United States.
