+opy the following editorial remarks from
,c4erLay's Issue Of the Cincinnati Com.
.s,cial on the subject:
The Associated Press dispatches from
San Francisco should be read with the
understanding that they come from the
Ip,iness and personal enemies Of the San
Francisco Chronicle.
The eDeYoungs arc young men who have
succeeded in building up q large newspa-
per business, not through audacity alone,
Ior they have displayed great enterprise
and intelligence
Their paper, the Chronicle, has reputa-
ion for sensations, but so far as we have
read Il We have found It much more de.
cent thaua number Of other journals in
hi, country that claim to be remarkably
energetic and are somewhat reckless.
The Chronicle little while ago was the
sOrkingmen's tayorite newspaper, but the
pppietors believed Dennis Kearney had
.oIi out to the railroad monopolists, and
attacked him with ferocity, going into his
old record and charging that he had, when
laite Of u steamer that was wrecked, de.
serted the passengers, for which cowardly
odrnse he was punished by the captain.
The Chronicle has been constant, strong
aal useful in attacking the gigantic rings
Tith which California is infested, espeC-
ally the railroad ring. It's perseverance,
courage and versatility in this matter
have been remarkable.
A few years ago some one who had no
letter reply to make to the DeYoungs,
charged that their mother was woman
oibad character. Their sister, also, was
subjected to Infamous insinuations. We
have no knowledge Of the details OF these
charges, but have assumed that they were
The inventions OF thieves.
Charles DeYoung, who is the editor OF
NE Chronicle, is personally a gentlemanly
young man. His appearance is pleasing
and his manners good, and he has strong
opinion Of the necessity Of publishing all
sorts OF cews.
The disrepute into which brilliant
young preacher named l. S. Kalloch fell
in Boston few years ago, has not been
ioigotten. Tho story was famous scan
dal. 1t was that Kalloch took married
lady Of his congregation with him while
hevislted suburb, to lecture, and that
they partook Of whisky and were crimi-
nally intimate.
The testimony in the case was very
strong, and not in the least nice. IT fur
nishGd almost as many phrases for COM
mon use as the Beecller scandal. Songs
were written about 1t. The journals teem-
I'd with ridiculous paragraphs. KalloCh
seemed to be man Of skill in exciting
sympathy. Ills congregation, as is often
The CasG, stuck to him. Then he preached
Abolish discourse in his defense, in the
course Of which he compared himself TO
the flower that crushed sends out sweet
er perfume.
But the promising young man lost his
influence in Boston and drifted to Kansas,
where he became noted, and had the old
scandal thrown at him as often as he be-
came prominent, Heabandoned the min.

termed the bastard progeny OF q prosti-
