The jury in the case of State as.
Smith, in Dunklin county, last week
brought i'm a verdict of acquittal. The
evidence against the accused was clear
and conclusive, and the fact that he
fired the fatal shot was established by
the testimony of two of the best men
in the county. Notwithstanding, the
jury declared him mot guilty." The
Maiden Clipper denounces the verdict
and the men who gave it, charging
that they were 'fixed" beforehand by
the defendant and his friends. When
it is remem bered that Barham is un-
der sentence of death as accessory tn
the crime, while Smith was the prin-
cipal, the outcome does look little
queer. But money and influence are
nearly all-powerful not only in Dunk
lin, but in other counties, as well. Go
to the court records, if you doubt it.

The annual statement of the Missou-
ri Pacific Railway Company shows
that this road, operated i'm connection
with the Iron Mountain road, is one of
the most valuable railroad properties
in the country. On a mileage of 1895
miles the gross receipts were S17,107,-
AL; the gross expenses 50, 2O5, 100, leav-
ing as net earnings the enormous sum
Of S7,902,34l, or more than $4,000 a
mile. While we are glad to note this
prosperity, we should be still more
glad if we could say that the State of
Missouri and the city of st. Louis had
their fair share of a prospect ty to
which they had contributed so mu CHI.
But we are compelled to join in the
universal complaint of the business
men of ST. Louis, that they are dis
eliminated against, while the valua-
ton of the Missouri Pacific Railway
property for purposes of taxation, is
surely less than the valuation of the
farms and dwellings of the people of
the State.

A Good Record for Mormons.

The criminal census of 1881 showed fifty one
prisoners in the Utah penitentiary Mormons
constitute 50 per cent of the population, and
hence should have furnished forty-two of these
prisoners; but instead they furnished only five,
and two of these were in for polygamy. The
Salt Lake county Jail contained six convicts,
and by the same proportion five of these should
have been Mormons: but instead not a Mormon
was there and only three had been there in five
years. The Salt Lake city prison, at the same
time, contained twenty nine convicts. Three
fourths of the city population were Mormons,
and hence we should expect twenty-five of
these prisoners to come from them; but instead
not Mormon was among them. The Gentle
fourth of the city had furnished the prison
with every one of its criminals.
