DoYouEG MURDERED.

by i. NJ .'Adti Ocn, son OF L. -. hultOcHs
in the Chronicle Office.
All OF these names have figured 60
prominently in the newspapers dur
ing the past few months, that the
public is pretty familiar with them.
Charles DeYoung is the editor and
senior proprietor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, Rev. I. S. Kslloch is mayor
OF San Francisco, and pastor Of the
Metropolitan Temple OF that city; 1.
N. Kallocb, the son, is also a minis
ter CT the gospel, being associate pas
tor of the Temple.
As no details have been received
at this writing, it is impossible
to more than guess at the cause that
led to the murder, for murder il
seems to have been; out the events
still fresh in the memory assist
greatly in indicating the direction
that gurmises should take. Only q
few months ago this came DeYoung,
in a cowardly manner, tried 10 asaas-
sinate the Rev. I. S. KalIoeh. father
Of the murderer Of last evening. The
Chronicle had for days teemed with
the vilest abuse of the minister, who
was the workingmen's candidate for
mayor. KaIloch had been handled
in It's columns without gloves. al o.
his bad deeds, his indiscretioDs and
the dark pages in his personal his
terry were published to the world, and
duly embellished after the Chronicles
peculiar style. The reverend gentle
man refused TO endure the shame
! full exposure in meekne73 and
humility but retsliatei in
kind, applying 70 DeYoung the
foulegl epithet one man can hurl
ct another. This was followed by the
shooting at the Temple, the paIt.c-
ulsrs of which are no. yet old or for
gotten. DeYoung was indicted for
assault to murder, and after ezhaust-
! ing the many resources of the law in
6 iruitless effort TO have the present.
mont quashed, he went east to gather
testimony to be used on the trial.
lie visited all The eli stamping
| grounds Of Kalloch from Kansas to
Massachusetts, and dug deep into the
shady portion Of the ministers
career. He returned home only two
! or three weeks ago, and, it is under
| stood, carried with him a mass OF e7i-
deuCs to establish the truth Of even
more than be had charged against
!ho pastor.
Here we are LEFT in The dark; but
the presumption is that the Chronicle
has again opened upon Kalloch,
and the son has taken up
the fght in his fathers behalf,
with the result noted above.
Young KalIooh is said to be bril-
liant man, who gave promise Of
rigalling his father in originality of
thought. peculiarly of ideas, elo-
quence, and vigor Of speech. Like
hi4 father be was hand and glove
with the notorious agitator Kearney,
and one of his trusted and most
actiyu Teutsnants. This affair, how
ever, will be apt to prove 3 settler TO
him and his aspirations. Law and
order have recently been restored in
San Francisco, and it Is possible they
Will hold sway for come time to come
The position and influence Of the
father can avail the son not at eli,
but will rather initiate against the
young man, as Mayor Kalloch is par
ticularIy in ill.fsyor with the better
elements Of society taat now have
control in that city. To excite any
sympathy in his behalf young Kalloch
must be urqueslionably in the right
in this affair, not only under the law,
but morally.
AS to DeYouug, he has only met
the fate that has many times been
predicted would be his. he has
courted it in the shameful manner in
which be has conducted his journal,
and it has often been wondered how
he has escaped SO long. He has grown
rich By the vilest OF vile personal
journalism, and prosperet through
assaults upon the character Of indi-
viduals. The success Of his news
paper has been phenomenal, but its
history must be that of sll other
| journals conducted upon the reckless,
immoral principles adopted by the
! DeYOupgs. That Charles DeYoung
was not sooner killed By soGe Of the
! people scandalized and cruelty
ASSAULTED through the columns OF his
paper, is due in 8 measure to his own
personal caution and bravery, but
more to San Francisco society,
public sentiment in that fast CITY
not being OF such 3 healthy
nature as to encourage tae killing Of
the scsndslizer.
His taking of at this time may not
have been iustifable, but that such
an end should be his is no more than
he might have expected.
The particulars of this tragedy will
be awaited with more intense interest
than was felt when DeYoung's VIC
tim, Kalloch, was lowering between
life aud death.
