TO honest people 10 other localities
werc these gambling concerns have
operated in defense of local law by
means Of facilities afforded the man

the mails could not be used for this
purpose, and Postmaster Generals
have repeatedly ordered to the same
effect. But tie law is not as clear as
it ought 10 be, aud therefore the post
Office department has prepared bill
