financial crooksdness-a sort OF trium-

him from the paths Of moral. temperate
and financial rectituds.
Twenty.three years ago his gospel ca
resr was intsrisred with by very lively
scandal which brought him before tho
court and into the public press in CON-
nection with . woman and "whisky
skins." The testimony wsa OF the most
foully scandalous character. but through
legal technicalities and smart counsel hs
escaped legal conviction, yet in the eyes
and opinions Of most people at the time
and ever since hs was considered guilty
as charged. He Is . very talented
preacher and lecturer, and had no never
stepped outside Of his plain moral duty
o. such, all would have been well. but
somehow his evil genius would impel
and drag him into politics and tho
ambition Of the unsodly. The
natural result We see today his
evil record follows him. his son lies in
prison for murder committed in defence
Of his fathers assumed honor. and the
father himself finds powerful and vim
dictive enemies now rslsntlessly forcing
his foul past record into the public tn
bunal. and driving him into . closer
corner than he sver before experienced.

man who cannot DO easily frightened BY
Kalioch or all OF his friends. Last
Wednesday hs arose in court, stated his
cass and presented the following terrible
arraigumsnt OF Kalloch:
propose to prove, - this pamphlet
alleges, by undeniable and overwhelming
evidence, that this man. the Mayor Of this
city. has led . life Of treason against the
labor OF men, the virtue Of woman. the
integrity Of public life. and the sanctity Of
the laws under which We live, and coming

office. Q ~violAtor Of his oath, an ineendiary
d~emagogue and dangerous chief magis-
trats.
Kalloch has responded with an afi.
davit on motion to dismiss the case. He
sets forth that he has always been a
prominent man. taking . leading part in
public political affairs. although . min.
lister OF tho gospel. consequently has
created numerous strong enemies as
we'll a. friends; that this prosecution Is
unjust. the charges false in every TO
spect. and that he is in fact q subject OF
scandalous libel and persecution. All
this may DO very true. but now he is
given the opportunity to prove II. Neil
son forces the issue, and unless Kallooh
squarely and satisfactorily faces Il he
can no longer face the community or the
people Of the Pacific coast. Any effort
on his part 10 dodge the issue or escape
examination or Investigation will only
be interpreted as . tacit admission Of
conscious guilt.
