THERE is a general complaint from all parts of the oountry against the contin­ ued increase of worn and mutilated coin which now circulates in business ctrclee. It is said that there is more defective coin cir­ culated in the United States than in any other country in the world. England, France and other foreign powers appropri­ ate a certain sum annually for the preserva­ tion of their circulating medium. As soon as a piece of coin becomes disfigured or worn to a certain extent it is replaced by anew coin, thus keeping in circulation only money that is in rood condition.

POLITICAL. A DISPATCH from Bait Lake, Utah, says: The general election in this Territory, being the first under the Edmunds law, was one the quietest ever had in the Territory. The Mormons and Gentiles had tickets for Members of the Legislature, Territorial, county, and precinct officers, bat there had been no campaigning or canvassing on the stump or in the presa The Gentiles aocept- ed, as a foregone conclusion, that their de­ feat would be overwhelming and the Mor­ mons realized that victory was certain. The Gentiles practically abstained from vot­ ing. Their ticket was not seen at many pre­ cincts untfl late in the day. The returns all show unexpectedly large Mormon ma­ jorities. It is probable the Gentile? carried Summit county. All other counties have certainly gone for the Mormons.

It also indicates that the public lands remaining in the Southern States, which had been so long neglected, are raipidly ooming under settle­ ment The statement includes the more important transfers of public landa in the following States and Territories: Dakota. Florida, Kansas. Louisiana, Minneeota, Mis- sferfppi, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington and Wlsoonsin. As compared with the year end­ ed June 80, l£8i, the statement shows an increase of 85,217 in therammber of entries (caul sales, original homestead entries and timber-culture entries) and 8,60'>,843 in the number of acres entered. The amonnt re- erfved from cash sales increased from #3,> S18,834in 1882to •7iS9*,44U inTSu, or more than 128 per oent In 1882 the number of pre-emption and other filings and of appli­ cations to purchase mineral, timber and •tone landa In the ssme Statea and Terri­ tories was s®,080, and the amount of feea re­ ceived, #64,608; in 188 J the number and amount were respectively 48,501 end #91,- 84SL The amount of fees and commissions paid on aooount of original homestead en­ tries in 1882 was #450,061; in 1888 it was #5758,61.01 Dakota, of course, takes the lead, both in the amount of land taken by actual settlers and in the amount sold for cash. In that Territory the number of homestead entries increased from 14,156, covering 2,2l8,ae8 acres, to 22,411, covering3,857.227 acrea The number of timber-culture entries ran up from 9,368, covering 1,416,532 acres, to 11,- 066, oover.ng 1,765,i.59 acres, and the cash sales increased from 673,H88 acres at #977, - 242 to 1,518,091 acres at #3,100,887. Probably the history of no State or Territory can furnish aparaUel to these figures.

The report of the Commis­ sioner of Internal Bevenue, recently pub­ lished for the fiscal year ended June 30,1883, shows that every dollar Known to be due from it was paid into the treasury, and the revenue from it amount­ ed to #42,101,24R7fl, against 47,Sfll,- 98&91, a« comparative decrease this year of #5,287,7UH, l& That this decrease is due to the reduction on May 1, of the present year, of the rates of tax is demonstrated by the fact that the production of ihe year lust ended largely exoeededthat of the previous ona The excees of production returned this year for the taxation was: CJgara. 88,- 518,042; cigarettes, 85,477,467; tobacco, pounds, 8,019,153; tnu#, pounds. 417J804.

Well, they hadn't gone fur afore they met Sam jes' a git ten' up an' dust- in', an' the pant'er after 'im like a, streak o' greased lightnin' throtigh a pine thicket.
