had communicated to two or three
other buildings, and it was impossible
to stay the progress of the fire until

densely built portion of the square

of the defeat of II

Speaking of the defeat of the
river and harbor appropriation bill,
Gen. Washburn says: The North
western commercial system will be
very severely injured by the lack of
appropriations to continue necessary
work. The harbors at Duluth and
Superior, and the channel of the Sault
Ste. Marie are especially IN need of
improvement, while the cessation of
the general scheme of work on the
channels of the Missouri, Arkansas
and Mississippi rivers will do incalcu
liable harm to inland commerce.

The congressional committee
which has had the matter under con-
sideration declares that the existing
statutes give all the authority needed
by the postal department to confis-
cate all mail directed to lottery COM
pan,es and lottery agents. The
committee Is doubtless right, and we
direct the attention of the postal de-
partment 20 a certain E. kaub, St.
Louis, Mo-, who is mentioned in
lottery advertisements, published in
Kansas City, as the proper individu-
al to whom those who want to try
their fortunes IN Lottery ventures
should address their letters and re-
nit their money. The publication
OF these advertisements, in deliber-
ate violation of the state statute max
ing it a felonious offence. seems to
be regarded with indifference by the
otherwise efficient officers of the law
in Jackson county, and we Judge
that the postal officials make no at
tempt to prevent MIR. E. Kaub's re-
ceipt of his lottery mail. These are
not trivial matters, because such fla-
grant and undisturbed violations OF
law cultivate a contempt tor it which
breeds greater and more serious
crimes.-CMo. Republican.

rank supposed had been buried beyond dis
