| Show KEARNEY AND KALLOCH t A Few Pungent Remarks Concerning Concern-ing the Tribs Editorial Something About thatPJiilantliro pie Record Among Canines and Free Lunch Fiends Editors Herald I was greatly eurprlied on reading in the pages of your down town contemporary con-temporary on last Sunday morning an article headed Kearney and Kal loch and could hardly believe my senses that inch an article could have the sanction of the benevolent countenanced coun-tenanced individual who presides over the delimits of that journal and who according to the Virginia Enterprise left such a very philanthropic record among the cAnine and freo lunch fiends of that oity It is not many years since a former attorney general of California in discoursing I dis-coursing upon the evil way of the hoodlums of San Francisco stated that their conduct was not to be wondered at when the fact of San Francisco having originally been settled set-tled by courtezans and gamblers was taken into consideration Later Senator Sen-ator Sargent in a speech in the Senate Sen-ate stated that you could find any day in can Francisco a mob who would crucify Christ over again and that the leading newspaper of the city would juitify the act for thirty pieces ol silver When the mining interests of California Cali-fornia and Nevada had been consolidated consoli-dated into a hugo machine for the oppression and spoliation of the masses which continued its workings with unparalleled success down to 1S77 when the people Kearney among the number were in consequence conse-quence of the designedly false repre I entationi issuing from a subsidized press robbed of every cent of their booed earnings and the mines at that period suddenly giving out they were left penniless during the panic and hard times that ensued is it toe > to-e wondered at that there should have been > denunciations of their defraud ers loud and deep and had there been some hempstretching by some of those blackhearted scoundrels who bad been engaged in plundering wholesale the honest and industrious poor I do not believe that humanity hu-manity would have had much just cause to mourn I venture to say that for every dollar that has ever come out of the mines the people of California have been robbed of over 100 by stock manipu atori The writer gloats over Kearneys having been sent to prison in defiance of all law and justice and alls him a craven bandit Were he the writer which I feel assured there never will be any hope of his doing for rotten fish in accordance with an unalterable law of nature invariably float along with the cur rent to enter into a content against the basest and most unscrupulous miscreants that have over disgraced Gods footitoDl beings who rule absolutely olutely in town and state by the power of wealth plundered from their credulous and confiding dupes and who permit no obstacle to block up their pathwaywho recognize none but these who ale willing to obey for a price their iniquitous behests who have debauched justice and public opinion until the courts are reeking with perjury and art rank with the stench of corruption and friends of honesty and good government have almost become mythical he too might exhibit some hesitancy as he i set about his mission of reformation Success eeemi to have misled Kearney and to have made him forget for-get the mission upon which he first started but I believe be has never been even accuied of betraying the confidence of his followers er ol laying snares for the purpose of de audinc them The Tribune speaks though the millenaries ot California and Nevada were honest honorable mm but the man who etajds silently by and instead in-stead of denouncing schemes of unparalleled un-paralleled plunder eagerly seizes aU 1 the spoils they can possibly afiord him though he were not directly instrumental in setting their machinery ma-chinery in motion is just as much a criminal as the vilest scoundrel that ever graced the precincts of Sing Sing and San Francisco today pre senh the most pitiful aspect of any city in the Union its wealth all ao cumulated in the bands of a few wretches whilst multitudes of its honest industrious clasiea are without work and without bread I well recollect a few years ago when those interested in its library set about its enlargement and not one of the citys moneyed men would contribute a dollar until finally re curse was had to a gambling lottery scheme and another half million dollars dol-lars wrung from the poorer clasaei who were not in a condition to profit by its advantages by being able to pay its large subscription price for membership Surely the editor of the Tribune could have never penned the remarks concerning Kalloch his genial ap iparanoe contradicts the assumption Whoever did so plainly proves that if he possesses a eoul it must indeed be one of less than microscopical proportion portion > Kalloch the grand and nightyeouled Kalloch I the Cbriitan
