But yen never, my lads see another

And told me to come to his side,
For he felt that the curtain was falling

We had spent, in the life Almost gone;
And the times we had gone home together,
When the night had slipped into dawn.
And he asked if his friends, with Their

And would toast to his name with sigh.

And glittering with wine rOsy-red-

But the shadows of death were a-gath' ring.

Some friends OF Mr.. Henry Korner were
panied to notice an editorial in your ex-
celent paper, a few days since, that SEEM
ed to reflect upon his sanity. While there
may be difference OF opinion as to what
constitutes sanity, would it not have been
better to wait until he came before the
public with his views ere he be heralded
as "wild eyed man Of SCIENCE" or as
being afflicted with a slight alteration

to the views and thoughts OF all classes,
and the public decides the merits Of the
case. Perhaps We who see him III daily

a stranger would. We only know him rs

doubtless using "the midnight lamp" in

essential.

TEE "CALIvoRNIAN" The Collaboration for
July comes to hand with new and attractive
cover, which is great improvement over tho
plain swaidlipg clothes which marked The in
fancy Of the magazine. The leading article,
1.-THE Great Bronze God" is from the pen
of Minnie b. Unger (Mrs. Frank Unger), q
n new contributor, whs makes very interest
ing descriptive article of her visit to one Of
the cities Of the Japanese Empire. The
sketch is tersely written and bears but few
of the marks Of feminine handiwork generally
noticeable in efforts Of female contributors,
and its touches of humor are particularly good.
The other articles we have not read, as time
is precious in q daily newspaper oaics, es-
pecially on Saturdays. We read ''The Great
Bronze God" becau.e it was the first. We
had Nc idea of readidg it through-had made
up our mind not to-but there was something
aSout it that lead us On, and We would advise
other people to do Is We did. Some new de-
partmsnts have been added, 'Nete Book"
"Science and Industry" cart and Artists"
and Book Reviews. The outcroppings
assay well, and the extracts for the press are

THE REWARD OF BRASS.

The manner in which the congregation OF
the Metropolitan Temple stand by their pas.
tor, Kalloch, is not calculated to encourage
other ministers of the gospel, who, while try
ing hard to lead upright lives, find their efforts
in the way of truth and godlness utterly un-
appreciated. His congregation, by a large ma
jority vote, pledge themselves to disbelieve
the findings of the courts, should such findings
be adverse to Kalloch, and assure the public
that all that can be said or. done against him
will only bind them the closer to their belief
in him. In other words, the worse he is proven
to be the more abiding will be their faith in
him. If the people of kalloch's congregation
are looking for that sort of man it might be
well for the vestry to make pilgrimage to
San Quentin and ascertain when the term Of
some notorious convict is about to expire and
secure him if possible as pastor Of the Metro
poitan Temple The record of Kalloch's evil
life seems to have had no effect upon his pres
ent status in the church. His career has been
continual slavery to the devil from his boy
hood He has been proven in open court q
thief, perjurer and adulterer; defrsuder of
the widow and betrayer of the innocent; .
villain whose face wears different mask for
every day in the year, and yet as a result Of
his rascally practices We see him 9ori6ed
The disposition on the part of church people
TO endorse everything, however bad, that
clergyman docs, can only work harm to the
cause of religion and fill worldly people with
AN inexpressible disgust for it. The only ex-
PLANTATION for the blind devotion of kalloch's
congregation to their pastor is, that they are
fully as rotten morally as the man they wor.
ship, or are lot of weak minded people whose
inbecile intellecrs continually lead them as
tray There is no danger Of this man going
down. He will continue to thrive and fatten
on the credulity of his dupes, and az fast Is
one member Of his flock leaves him the vacan-
cy will be filed by some new convert to the
doctrine of sham, and Kalloch will continue to
enjoy the fruits of his brass as long as he
lives; while San Francisco will be filled with
patient, toiling, self sacrificing ministers Of
the gospel earnestly eneavoring to serve their
Master but obliged to preach to empty church
es and work for the stones Of the worlds char
ity as Kalloch devours the loaves and fishes.

OUR WATER COMPANY.

The charges made by the Grand Jury
against the Carson Water Co. have received
the unanimous endorsement Of our business
men and tax payers. 1t is the prevailing opin-
ion that the evils pointed out by that body
have long existed and steps for their abolish
ment should have been sooner made 1t has
been charged that other Grand Juries have
been afraid Of the Water Company This il
scarcely just. for probably the other Grand
Juries did not have the matter brought before
them in 50 decided a manner as the last The
6remen called attention to the fact that the
city WAS not properly supplied with water,
and As they had repeatedly been blamed for
the progress of fires, they asked that the mat
ter be investigated. The Grand Jury applied
themselves to the task as was their sworn duty
to do and fearlessly set the matter before the
public. The men who composed that honor
able body are leading citizens and taxpayers,
and when they direct the city Trustees to de-
liver the city from the grip Of monopoly
which. while wringing money out of the treas
ury for work badly done. is also engendering
its safety, they speak with authority. 1t now
remains t. be seen whether the City Trustees
will perform their duty as faithfully as did the
Grand Jury. If there is at present a contract
between the city and the Water Company the
taxpayers would like to see copy Of
it that they may examine its provisions,
and see how we'll or badly it has been kept.
If its provisions have been violated, ..o5hing
remains for the City Trustees to do but to
cancel ali business relations betty een the city
and the company in the interest Of tax payers,
and see that the supply comes from some
ether quarter The facts embodied in the re-
port of the Grand Jury have been patent to
this community for a lspg time, and the citi
Zens have every reason to feel indebted to the
men who have undertaken to probe the mat
ter to the bottom. The following are their
names r. r. Brown, E. James, A. Leport,
B. F. Foster, N. W. Little, J. Saffell, A. D.
Treadway, S. A. Nevers, Geo. b. Webb, Eli
Berkeley, J. HINT, James Fraser, Mayo a.
Grsenlaw, z. Eigecomb, James Duffy, Geo.
VI. Chedic, J. Bright. The next meeting of
the Board of Trustees will be looked forward
to with interest. 1t comes of on the 18th
of July. The city of Carson cannot afford to
run the risk Of being destroyed by fire. that
the owners Of water stock may gain few
paltry dollars month, and the question is
one which must be handled like any other
business proposition-on square business
basis
