'But an more important change, and one which should be carefully noted by every one who lottery, is the extension of the penalty for mailing may be tempted to have any dealings with the lottery letters to the custatuers and pations of the compay. Hitherto the penalty applied only to the companies, but now it applies to Individuals as well, so that every person in any part of the United States who mails or causes to be mailed any check, draft, bill, money, postal note or money order for the purches of lottery tickets or shares will be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall

Speculating in lottery tickets in the future, therefore, may be attended with very un- pleasant consequences to the speculator, who may lose not only the money he has invested in the ticket, but a good deal more besides, not to mention the little item of his personal liberty,

Another particular which differs from the old is the closing of the mails to newspapers which contain lottery advertisements and lists of prizes. pamphlet or publication of any kind containing any advertisement of any lottery, or containing Any list of prizes, shall be carried in the mail or delivered by any postmaster or letter-carrier. The same penalty is provided in this case as in that of individuals. The laws of Maryland and of most of the States against lotteries are very stringent, and if properly executed can be made to render effective aid to the bill passed by Con- gress. They provide that "no person shall draw any lottery or sell any lottery ticket in this State," and that "every person, his siders and bettors,offending against this provision shall deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on action thereof shall be fined for each offence any sum, in the discretion of the Court, not less. than $200 nor exceeding $1,000, or imprisoned not less than three nor more than twelve months, or may be both fined' and imprisoned as aforesaid."

Our police authorities will have to be relied upon to suppress such violations of State law, and in this way they can render valuable service in the enforcement of the Federal statute. Rigorous penakies are also provided against bringing into this State against all enterprises of this character, it being specially declared that "the preceding sections relating to lotteries shall apply to all lotteries, whether authorized by any other State, District or Territory, or by any foreign country," and the courts being authorized to construe all the provi stops relating to lotteries liberally, and to "adjudge all tickets, parts of tickets, certificates or any other device whatsoever, by which money.

They collect from the public an equitable sum of money upon the character of the risks assumed, and this is intended not to prevent or extinguish fires, but(sued at tumm.) to provide far the proper and moderate expenses of transacting the business, and to leave a margin in the shape of a reasonable dividend on the capital stock jeopardised by the undertaking,

The duty of the companies is to honestly hold and equitably disburse the funds entrusted to their keeping. The premium money never changes its ownership any more than the money deposited in a savings bank changes its awar ship. It belongs to the public, is deposited by the public, and is eventually paid or accounted for by the public. Companies are quite s culpable when they charge too little for insurance, and

so impair their trustworthings and solvency, as when they charge too much and make unjust exactions from their patrons; and they would he more imprudent and unbusiness like if they did not set aside a surplus to provide the erranrdinary configrations which return with such regularity as to prove their position as an important factor in the general aggregate of loss
