A Distinguished Augusta County Man.

The Salt Lake, Utah, Herald of Jan. 9th,
noticing the appointment Of Col. Samuel A.
Merritt published last week. to be Chief
Justice OF Utah, says it was received with
much satisfaction by the Democrats OF
Salt Lake, and that the Colonel was warmly
congratulated by his host Of friends and
bore his honors modestly. 1t adds:
/ Colonel Merritt was born in Augusta
county, Valley of the Shenandoah, Virginia.
on August Is, 1928. He comes from one Of the
old Virginia families and graduated at Wash
ington College, now Washington & Lee Uni
versity, in June, 1913. A year later he joined
the army, going to California and became
prominent in the affairs Of that State.
''He held the offices Of county clerk and
public administrator, was twice in the Legis-
lative Assembly and served six years as State
Senator. He afterwards removed to Idaho,
continuing the practice of law, in which he
had been very successful, and served the then
territory as delegate in Congress from 1871 to
1873. In the latter year he removed to Salt
Lake and has resided here ever SINCE being
for a long time member of the law firm of
Roseborough & Merritt. He is a member of
the DemOcfatlc naJlOnal committee, and be-
came identified with his party here when the
division came. Under the first Liberal admin
istration, he filled the position of city attor-
ney for year, when he resigned. He has
been Democrat all his life, and has done
yeoman service for his party here and else
where.
Colonel Merritt's ability as lawyer is
recognized by all, and he has long held a
leading position at the bar of this territory.
Personally, he is genial, warm hearted
man, and enjoys the respect and friendship of

Mexican yetaran PensIans.

The Pension Committee of the House OF
Representatives on Tuesday, decided to re-
port favorably a pension bill Of a good deal
of interest to veterans of the Mexican war
residing in this city and county. Its pur-
pose is to repeal that section of the revised
statutes which prohibits the granting of
pensions to any person on account of disa-
bilities contracted in wars preceding the
civil war, who served in the Confederate
army. This section, it should be explained,
was repealed in part in the case of Mexican
veterans who served in the Confederate
army, and to whom pensions OF IS a month
are given without regard to disability. The
purpose of the bill in question is to repeal
the section without any qualification, so
that soldier who lost an arm OF q leg in
the Mexican OIL the Indian wars and who
subsequently, joined his fortunes with those
Of the Confederacy, may be entitled to a
pension equal in amount to that which is
given to soldiers Of the late war who suffer
from similar disabilities.

OF the lowest figures recently recorded on this
crop The bases of the early recovery were
the falling off in interior receipts, slight
reduction in the accumulation of warehouse
stocks; and the Government estimate of de-
crease OF 6.S per cent. in the acreage of winter
wheat for the present season. These features
of the situation encouraged the development
of bullsh sentiment on the grain exchang-
es; but the rising tendency OF prices met with
no response abroad, and in the absence of
any general demand for export, the realiza-
tons of spectators caused the reaction in the
markets. The final official estimate of the
1898 wheat crop was 39e, 1872, 900 bushels; but
it is generally regarded as below the actual
production by anywhere from 100000 to
100000 bushels. Corn prices have receded
