PuMIsHINa MAIL sWINDLERs.

The vigor with which the post
 office authorities have been pur-
 suing the swindlers who make use of the mails for fraudulent pur-
 poses is deserving of very high
 praise. The statement made by Chief Inspector Sharp as to the amount of loot collected from gulliblc victims by ."only the few swindling promoters who were ar rested last year" gives an idea of inc service rcndcrcd by this branch of the governmental ma chinery. He rcckons that amount at approximately $77,000,000; what may be the total of the op- erations of this class of rogues it is impossible to estimate. But it is quite certain that the ar rests and. .punishments that have taken place are operating as ef- fective preventives, both because of the wholesome fear that must
