England and France. This confirmed
offender attempted to purchase his release
from the Inspector who first arrested him
in California, and has tried to bribe every
jailer who has had him in custody since.
1t is evident that General Maxwell does
not intend to leave any doubt in the minds
of those who read his report as to his Wig
orous warfare upon the green goods"
swindle, and particularly upon those who
are engaged in the dissemination of sour
rilous and obscene matter. He speaks
upon this latter subject with much earnest
ness and reiterates his recommendation
that more stringent statutes be enacted
relating to it.
In previous reports reference has been made
to the successful efforts of the inspectors in
checking the distribution of scurrilous and
obscene matter through the mails. The
ofenses OF this nature are OF various degrees
of gravity, ranging from mere technical VIOLA
tions of the law to the most shocking and out
rageous assaults upon decency and morality.
The postal card and anonymous letter are
most frequently utilized, as they afford a Sc
cret and apparently safe method for the graft
fcation of malice and spite. The investiga-
rion of this class of cases often leads to most
startling disclosures. Both men and women
OF high rank and station in life and appar-
emily good breeding and refinement have
been discovered to be the senders of the most
shocking mples o this class of matter, and
the revelations made have in some instances
led to acrimonious dissensions resulting in
the division OF communities.
The immense profits realized from the sale
OF obscene literature have induced dealers to
run great risks, and sample copies of such
publications are often sent by mail into schools
and seminaries. This nefarious business was
attaining alarming proportions on the Pacific
Coast and the local officers appeared powerless
to check Ii. The matter was placed in the
hands of our inspectors. and as q result in the
thirteen months preceding June last one pub
Usher and three of the largest dealers in that
territory have been arrested, convicted and
imprisoned. The moral effect of tnese convic-
tiOns cannot be oyerestimated.

NOTED CRIMINALS CAPTURED.

The annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General Maxwell, just made
public through Local Inspector in Charge
Munro, contains much of interest.
There are three divisions under the
charge of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, namely, appointments, bonds and
omissions and postoffice inspectors and
mail depredations. The report outlines
the work of the bureau for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1896.
On that date the total number of post
offices in operation in the United States
was 7O,36o. OF these, 66, 725 were fourth
class offices and 1896 Presidential, being an
increase over the last fiscal year of 296
During the year 2046 postofices were estab-
lished and 1850 discontinued. The total
number of appointments for the year was
l2O9O and the total number of cases acted
upon Is, ,532
During the year the largest gain in the num-
per OF ot1ces has been in Mississippi 49,
Georgia following with 54. The greatest loss
mas occurred in West Virginia, %. Twenty
six States and Territories show a net gain of
4o4, while nineteen show a net loss of 188
The number OF Offices in Alaska, Delaware
District OF Columbia, Illinois, Rhode Island
and South Dakota has remained unchanged
1t will be seen that 2046 postoffices have
been established the pasI fiscal year andi175O
discontinued, a net gain of 296 Wherever
the exigencies of the case seemed to demand
Offices have been established, but in MANY in
stances where the proposed office would be too
near one already in operation the department
has declined TO establish 1t.
That the work of this division is as nearly
up to date as its character will admit is best
evidenced by the following facts: Only a trife
over l per cent of the postmasters in the
United States have designations on file while
little over one-tenth of 1 per cent of the Of
fees are vacant from deaths of postmasters
This is by far the smallest umber of resiQ-
nations and reports o. death on file since the
postal sy stem has approached its present pro-
portions.
By far the most interesting of the statis-
tical tables in the report is the following,

DIAMOND ROBBERY
Gus Devine Arrested in Connection
With the Recent Affair in Sac
rninentn

Gus Devine, who is not unknown to the
police, was arrested about o'clock yester-
day morning in saloon on Post and Du-
pont streets. He was taken to the City
Prison and booked en- route for Sacra-
mento.
Devine is supposed to be the accomplice
of Frank Holden in the diamond robbery
at Sacramento on Friday evening. Holden
threw a rock at the window OF the jewelry-
store of II. Wachorst, on j street, and
grabbed two trays containing diamonds.
One he dropped inside the window, but be
ran away with the other. He was pur-
sued and captured, but none of the
diamonds, valued at $4,000, were found
upon him, ana the supposition was that
he had handed them to confed derate, ex-
cept eight, valued at $500, which he had
dropped from the tray during his flight,
ana which were afterward recovered. An
officer will arrive from Sacramento to-day
10 take Devine there.
Devine has been twice arrested for as
sault with deadly weapon, but managed
TO escape punishment.

John Murray. an ex-convict, broke into

at an early hour yesterday morning.
He had filled his pockets with whisky
bottles and cigars when Special Officer
Duzer happened along and heard the
noise. Murray dashed through a window
and ran along Battery street. Duzer
called upon him to stop, but he continued
his flight. Duzer fired two shots at him,
one OF the bullets striking his left foot and
bringing him to a sudden stop.
Murray was taken to the City Prison
and a charge of burglary was booked
against him. He was then taken to the

FREE COINAGE DANGEROUS.

Examiner, Mry %. 1s95-It is easy to un-
derstand how Mr. Carlisle, who thought it
safe to venture upon free coinage when the
bullion in a silver dollar was worth 80 cents,
should be unwilling to take the chances when
the rate has come down to SO cents.
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-23
FREE COINAGE DENOUNCED.

Examiner, May 25, 1s95-Mr. Carlisle's
speech at Memphis was very able effort. As
regards the Is TO 1 proposition it was nearly
conclusive. The only question is
how much the legislation of any one country
can do. When Mr.. Carlisle says that it could
not possibly restore the old parity of 16 to 1
he is probably right, but when he holds it
could do nothing he is probably wrong.

could easily have made a strong argument

FREE COINAGE APPROVED.

Examiner, Sept. 81, 1s96-From the begin.
ming OF this campaign it has been asserted in

only road to international bimetallism is the
undertaking OF an Independent course in this
regard by the United States
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-23
FREE COINAGE BENEFIcENT.

Examiner, September 8, 1s96-But If :the
United States by throwing open its mints to
Tree coinage raises the bullion ratio to Is to l,
all coins struck at this ratio will then become
full and independent parts of the worlds
currency. They will be real money instead of
representative money.

Examiner, September 13, 1s96-Under free

tween silver and gold coined or uncoined will
be 16 to throughout the world.

THE WINDY WEST.

Examiner, April 1S-President Cleveland's
indignation among the silver men than could
be jus tilted by its wording. His
hopes for sound money and the protest against
the illusions OF debased currency
might be echoed by every man of ordinary
sanity in the country. The President
is hardly less safe when he deprecates
silver monometallism. But the meaning to be
read into the letter by President Cleveland's
acts and opinions in the past makes these
harmless platitudes the red rag to the silver
champions OF the windy West
