The Chief of Police of San Francisco
has instructed the four hundred police
men of that city that it is their duty to
act as promptly in cases of violation of
sanitary regulation ordinances, as in any
other instances of lawlessness. Particu-
larly he charges them that they are to
arrest any persons who haul garbage
through the streets in open or leaky
wagons or carts; that because there are
health officers is no reason why the police
should close their eyes to violation OF
health ordinances. It would not be bad
idea for such instruction to be given to
the police of this city. The idea that be-
cause we have Sanitary Inspector the
whole business of enforcing the health
ordinances is to be left to him, is an
erroneous one. Every police officer ought
to be also health officer to the extent of
reporting all violations of sanitary reg
ulations which fall under his attention,
and in fagrant cases by promptly arrest
ing offenders.

A SHAMEFUL VERDICT.

The Los Angeles Times wants to know
why, when on trials for divorce one of
the parties is found guilty of adultery, or
in criminal trials when the defendant is
found to be insane, the law is not en-
forced and the parties held for the offense
in the one case and for insanity in the
other.
It is a pertinent inquiry. Take the
Smith murder case tried at Los Angeles
for example, Smith is Captain of ves-
sci. In fit of rage he struck down boy
with hatchet, threw him overheard, and
then fired upon the lad in the water. At
ter that the victim was no more seen. An
attempt was made to raise doubt as to
the boy having been murdered. because
he might, by bare possibility, have been
picked up by some passing boat, and may
yet be in the land of the living. But the
defendant pleaded temporary insanity as
the chief of his defense, and a weak
kneed jury declared him guiltless of
murder.
The defendant admitted that he
hatcheted the boy as he lay in his bunk;
that he dragged the lad to the deck, cast
him into the sea, and then fired upon him
while he was pleading for his life. But
some one had cast a small boat adrift,
Smith suspected the boy, and in his rage
cut him down, and now, forsooth, is set
free.
If Smiths plea is good, then he is a
dangerous man to be moving among his
fellows. It was testified that Smith was
subject to vagaries of mind, at times is
erratic in manner and possessed of Pc
culiar idiosyncracies and hallucinations.
Then, by all means. if he is unfit for
hanging he is a fit subject for confne-
ment in an asylum. Such ravening
beasts should not be at large to prey upon
society.
The verdict was itself farce, travesty
upon justices the plea of insanity was
weak; it was, indeed, worthless. If any
doubt existed as to the boy being dead, it
was so feeble one as not to be worthy
consideration by jury of normal inteli
gence. At the very least, the defendant
should have been held for msnslaughter,
since, by his own confession, he struck
and shot to kill, and did it in the heat of
passion.
Such verdict as that in the Smith case
Is shameful; it shames the law, shames
humanity, and makes the criminally in
clined Indifferent about offending.
If, as is not improbable, this fellow
should, in new fury of frenzy, kill an
other human being, the jury that acquit-
ted him of the murder of George Neal
will in morals be paTticeps crimiafs in
the new crime.

He Procures Divorce and Marriage
Certificate the Same Day.
Yesterday was a very dull day in the
courts, the only event being the divorce
case of Monsieur All Vow against Mile.
Suie Yung, both natives of the Flowery
Kingdom.
1t took Judge Johnson just about five
minutes to unite the legal knot that stood
In the way of All Vow procuring license
to marry another moon-eyed damsel. The
Judge was rendered efficient aid by Major
Anderson and an interpreter, who in
sisted on telling the court what he knew
about the mistit case, instead of pumping
All Vow.
The only spectators were lady lawyer
and brace of newspaper reporters. The
latter had been led by Lawyer Anderson
to believe that the case would be one of
unusual interest, involving a scandal in
high-life Chinese circles about COurtland,
but it proved anything but sensation.
All Vow was a very willing witness,
because he was there in his own behalf,
and his mind was evidently engrossed
with thoughts Of second love and an
other wedding, for he wore ten-by-three
grin on his seven-by-nine countenance
while on the stand.
He testified that twelve years ago Rev.
David Deal Of this city tied the knot that
made him and Miss Yung man and wife;
that, although he had supplied her with
palatial hut on down-the-river potato
ranch, and had rugged her bunk therein
and supplied her with plenty OF rice, she
deserted him. Why she left him he did
not know, but he admitted that they had
fights, and that he was the aggressor.
he didn't want her, anyhow, and
couldn't ask her to return to his bed and
board-Or his board bed, which WAS all
the same-tor he didn't know where her
place of business was.
Judge Johnson concluded that All
Vows petition might as we'll be granted,
so he signed adecree of divorce.
All Vow at once stepped into the Clerks
office and procured a license to wed the
belle OF Courtland's Chinatown.

A Prominent real estate dealer of
San Francisco, just returned from an ex-

metropolitan paper as saying:
1 particularly observed in the East that
Central and Northern California are very

everywhere. Southern California people are
away ahead of us in the advertising line and
it is a fact that this should prompt the people

1t is an old, old story. We have heard
it over and over again. We know it to
be true, and so do all the people, but it
does not appear to effect much. Printers

kato officials can and will enforce the
law, and that the tax is prohibitory in ef-
feet, that Western city will become de-
lightfnl place of residence. For assur-
edly the far-seeing wisdom and solicitous
care of its authorities for the sensibilities
of the people and the conservation of their
comfort, indicates that Mankato stands
upon the border land Of millennial para
disc. But just why Mankato stops short
with "After the Ball' and gives freedom
to infiict with less melodious lays passes
comprehension. Can it be that the au

author who has so much to answer for
