The trial of young Mutt Mt Pitsburg for
numbering N. l.. Dukes ended Tuesday
with a verdict of acqutta, and it is to be
hoped that the case will be heard of nc
more. Dukes paid marked attention tc
Nuts sister, and Mutt, the father, wrote
to him urging marriage on the ground
that the girls affections should not be
trined with. In response came letter
slandering Miss Mutt (whose character
was above reproacb) in the most shocking
manner, and refusing TO marry her. Of
course this was resented, but in what fol
lowed there was no thought of violence
until Dukes shot Mutt, the father, dead. 1t
was an outrageous, cold blooded murder,
there was no controversy as TO the facts,
and yet the jury before whom Dukes was
tried in some unaccountable freak set him
free. Then young Mutt shot him, was in
turn tried for murder, and his discharge
was received by court house and street
full of people with applause. The Nuts
are people OF good standing, Dukes was a
lawyer,-ihey all lived in Uniontown-
and the affair has made II great deal of
excitement. To say that young Nuts act
met unqualified popular approval gives u
faint idea of the fact He was acquitted

The total land area ofthe United States,

The total land area ofthe United States,
not including Alaska, is 1900, 100000
acres, and according to the last census
$50, 08l 1876 acres was in farms At least
800, 900, 900 acres is worthless, either for
culture or for timber, so that the amount
of public land available for settlement
was really about 973, 100000 acres. Sub
sequent sales have reduced it to about
067 100000 acres. 1t will promote the
prosperity of the nation if the whole OF
this land is reserved for actual settlers.
The average area of the 4,0O5, 907 farms
of the republic in 1880 was 1873 acres each,
and the proper division of what remains
of the public domain would add about
s, 100000 to the total number of farms.
The secretary of the interior and the
commissioner of the general land office
have concurred in recommending the
repeal of the preemplion law and the
amendment of the homestead act, and
congress ought promptly to enact such
measures as will save the public land for
the use of those who will settle upon it
and till it.

1t appears that the business depression

1t appears that the business depression
in the United States is slight compared
with that in Great Britain. The latest
consular reports gives melancholy ac-
counts of the condition OF the leading
industries in Great Britain, the exports to
this country being Sl4000.0O0 less than
last wear. The Tendon Times, in recent
article, allules to the hard times in that
country, and contrasts the depression at
home with tho commercial prosperity OF
the United States. II attributes this
condition to 1.-THE resurgence of the pro.
lection heresy" in so many countries, and
with amusing impudence. suggests that
this and other countries should adopt the
