One of the few good things that the | jate Congress did was to pass a more stringent law against lotteries. The act of 1890 simply gave the postmaster general power to withhold registered | letters from and refuse the payment of | money orders to any one who, on sat- isfactory evidence, is found to be con- | ducting a lottery scheme. The new iaw imposes a heavy fine and imprison- | “ment on common carriers for trans- mitting lottery advertisements, tickets, | etc., and enab.es the Postoffice Depart- | ‘ment to intercept sealed, unregistered -shonld have salt, and should any ot! them have the scours keep them in the | during the season, Keep the weeds down from the start, and the tabers | will be larger and heavier.
