The Star.ROute Trial.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Merrck continued
in the Star-route to-day combining his re-
marks for the most part to the question of
the division of plumber, nothing could free
the defendants from the crime committed
or terminate the conspiracy, and he de-
clared the proof incontrovertble of conspir-
acy on April /, 1879 If he had established
the existence of conspiracy on that day
he had conformed to the charges of the in
dictment.
Merrick closed argument in the Star
route case and the court adjourned until
Monday.
The case goes to the jury Tuesday after.
noon.
Merrick concluded his address as follows
The people, regardless of party, would pay
everlasting tribute to the administration
that had the high moral courage to punish
corruption of the members OF its own polt-
ical household. He demanded from the
jury verdict of guilty against all the de-
PENDANTS; not verdict based upon sym.
pathies, but on facts and evidence and law
He demanded this verdict in behalf of the
people Of the United States, whose public
treasury these defendants had robbed. lie
demanded it in vindication of the official
trusts defendants had disregarded; of the
laws they had spurned with contempt; he
demanded the verdict in vindication of the
truth and honor and virtue of the Ameri
can people, which these men had stained
and blackened; verdict of guilty, tina,
the injury to virtue, and truth and honor
might be redeemed, and that too by a
Jury taken from the people, showing their
appreciation of virtue outraged and honor
disregarded. Merrick thanked the court
and jury for their patient attention, and
took his seat. An attempt at applause wa.
checked by the court, who asked ii both
sides were prepared to submit their pray

on both sides they agreed to submit theii

SOLDIERS MOVING ON THE CAPITA,

SOLDlEkS MOVING ON THE CAPITAL
Among the many movements and
schemes that the next congress will have to
meet and contend against in the furious
raid that will, so far as appearances 20, be
made upon the treasury and the public
domain, is one outlined the other day In
Washington specials, in which the pension
ers and old soldiers OF the government will
be the chief actors. Notwithstanding the
fact that nearly twenty years have elapsed
since the war, the pension list has not only
been growing but the amount of the indi.
vidual pensions have been steadily In.
creased, until now appropriations to pay
them are the principal items Of the govern.
ment's expenses annually. The sum Ia
now so large that even the reduction
Of the public debt Is seriously affected. The
charge has time and again been made that

SINCE such general interest is manifested
in this section with reference to lands in
Mexico, its prices, manner of sale, etc, the
following clipping may be found of some
practical value. OF course, location and
many other causes, just as everywhere else,
enter into the considerations surrounding
the sale. A writer says; 1.-THE price OF
public lands in Mexico ranges from four
cents to ninety cents al acre. After Decem-
Der 3lst, 1881, the rates are to be raised. The
land is sold by the sitio which comprises
4 All acres. Thus sitio in Coahulla will
cost $23S.s2. or five cents an acre; in New
Leon tho cost of a sito is 1913 30, or seven
cents an acre; in the state OF Guanajuato
the cost would be 81 ,223 A, or seventy cents
an acre; in Sonora, $4O2 90, or nine cents an
acre. In Chihuahua the price is seven
cents; in Guerrero, twenty-seven cents.
The price varies in each of the twenty seven
states, and in the Federal district it is
ninety cents an acre, or $4,029.3O for sitio.
These rates are not high, especially in Chi
huahua and Sonora. In buying stio
there are optionally deferred payments, OF
the money may be paid down.

of pensions is now too high and the list too
large. Upon this fact the country pretty
generally is agreed, those OF different
