From tht An7y o/ May lUh I89S. “It give>« the newepap«r resder '•tbat tired feeling” to learn thal the law officers at Visalia onee raore allowed the bandits. Sontag and £vans. to alip through their fingere. With the end of winter the«e fellow» will now betake thenaselve« to other lands, for it ie ecarcely credible lhat they will run the risk of another man hunt in ihe mounlain» this sutnnier.” “The way smuggling ia carried on in San Franci»co wae neatly illuetratcd ye»terday by tbe arreet of Cu»tom Inspector Tbomas A. Dougla»s. According to the evidence Douglass ueed his po?ition in i order to help tho#e on the eteamer i Cbina who desired to land good Hongkong opium without paying any toll to Unele Sam. The inveetigation of this case ought to yield »ome good results whether or not it ende in the conviction of the accuecd officer.” “ Maria Woodworth, the female evangeliet who eome years ago created a great deal of eenation in Oakland, is again demonstrating the truth of the Latin maxim that people want to be dec«ived. She ie holding forth in St. Louis and making converte are rapidly ae ever. She elaime to have performed eeme raarveloue cure9, and on thie acore ehe may be right. for miud does often control matter. but none the less i» she the same charlatan and fraud that she was fcere in C*liforuia, and wilhal a shrewd. scheming, dangerous woman.” “The poliee authoritie» of San Francisco are undergoing at the present time one of those epaemodic attacks of virtue whieh make their apt>earance only too infrequently. They are raiding the rooms and dene of ihe vendors of lottery tickets, arresting the sellers aml oonfiscating tbeir stock in trade. This is all right, for the law directs it. but it would be interesting lo know how many of the officer» have at lea»t one eoupon in some lottery or other snugly »towed away in an in»ide pocket. The law may forbid lotteries, but it ha» never yet succeeded in 6uppressing them.” And when the uneophi8ticated Hawaiian has read his Araerican paper and deducted some peculiar but oorrect fact« relating to the moral condition of officialdom in the greal Republic he will begin to draw some comparieons bet*een that gre*t country and his own lately so abused Isl*nds. And as a result of theee eompaneone, *s a rcsult of his careful thinking and *fler deliberately weighing all the prot aud cont in his menlal scale 80 settle *11 difficulties. The *8#ociat«d Pre« corre»pondent has fi»bnc*ted an interview with Clau» Spreckela and tbe Examiner man haa finally married Ccmmissioner Blount’s Secret*ry. Mt.
