Few, howover, thor oughly understand tlie actual situation, heneo, ninety-nino per cent of tho com complaints - plaints complaints against tho parties who actually carry the mad would not be made if the facts wtro known. Primarily, the greatest fault lies with the government system of letting mail contracts by which parties eatiroly alien to the territory in which the Borvice is to be performed, are allowed to monopolizo this service and secure the contract from the government at such figures as to give them b large revcuuo alter sub-letting the contract, instead of giving all the appropriaüou to tho party who actually does the work. If tbe carrier of our mails could receive all cf tho money appropriated for that purpose, the service could nud would bo far superior to tho present service. The sub-contractor should receive nil of this money, then, with tho surplus difference between the amount appropri ated and the amount now received, he could afford and should be required to give better service than ha cn now pos sibly ronder without porsonal loss.

l Oit THE BKNKFIT OF KOSWKIX. Tho editor of the Ou Ahe Eale wan compelled by a special veniro to Berve on a jury, on or about March 7th, 18L'l, in a case of the state of Colorado against one Dr. J. W. Long charged with adultery committed in Las Animas county, Trin Trinidad - idad Trinidad being the county seat where the trial was held before Judgo W. G. Hinos, county judge. Long was convicted and sentenced to jail for sixty days which term he served. The Stato Hoard of Medical Examiners, of Colorado, revokod his license and afterwards refused to re reissue - issue reissue license for him to practice. Tho circumstances of tho caso as shown by the testimony were outrageous but as the jury could render verdict only upon that portion of tho testimony which pertained to Las Animas county, Colorado, his sentence was wholly in inadequate - adequate inadequate to his crime. This beast in human form left his own family, for whom the whole community at Russell, Kansas, have tho deepest sympathy in their alliiction, and deliberately seduced. the respected wife of a citHzen living near the same place, thus destroying tho peace of two homos and two families of children. Eight months aftorwardn, according to the vile brute's own testi testimony - mony testimony in court at Trinidad, they were prevented from eloping together on account of tho sudden violent illness of the lady, ut which time she gave prema ture birth to a child. Since that time this worthy (?) family physician did elope with the lady taking her tu various points in Kansas, Indian Territory and Colorado and the lady gave birth to Kn Kn-othor - othor Kn-othor child which was living at the time of tho trial above mentioned and was adopted by a family living near the Spanish Peaks in Las Animas county, Colorado, and tho injured husband con condoned - doned condoned the soducted wife's uifenco and took her back cast with him at tho con conclusion - clusion conclusion of tho trial. Tho lady swore that this last child was tho child of the said Dr. J. W. Long, and tho despicable cur not only did not del, y it but conducted himself in the most nonchalant, disgust disgusting, - ing, disgusting, braggadocio manner during tho trial. There are two crimes for which thero exists no adequate punishment and for which eternal punishment can never make reparation one is rapo and tho other is seduction, and no community can feel safe with an animal Ioobc among their homes who has been guilty of even tho intent of either of thoBe great crimes. Our only apology for presenting this delicate matter for the consideration of tho public, is tho onerous duty of every man to aid in protecting the homes of his friends and neighbors, and while life lasts wo will be found in that line and especially at the threshold of our own humble home. Latkk Wo have just heard that this Dr. J.W. Long is at the bottom of a scheme to defraud J. L. Zimmerman out of a home by contesting hiti right to apiece of government land upon which Zimmerman had placed good improve improvements - ments improvements and cultivated a fair portic n and performed all other requisites to comply with the luw and that Long's testimony is the only vital evidence to substantiate the grounds for contest. This being tho case wo feel further culled upon to state that wo would not believe Long under oath and in tho cause of justice aro willing to make ulli ulli-davit - davit ulli-davit to this fact and all other state ments made in thin article. l'urther, there are more than a dozen people hero iu White Oaks who lived at Trinidad ut the tiuiu oí the trial and v. ho remember the circumstances us pub pub-iisiied - iisiied pub-iisiied ut the time, and if this Long is tho same villain tried there, vu cun lur lur-nisii - nisii lur-nisii other ulliduvitB in Triniduii of the same import us our own.
