D AVIS CHEAP TREAT.
How "Bob' Gets the Credit
Of an Excursion That
Other Men Paid
For.

The so-called Davis Free Excursion has
been generally supposed to be the result
Of Bob Davis's desire to appear phil
anthropic and generous. The affair to-
day proved that this was moi true ana
that Davis was robbing other people of
the credit of having given q free excur-
sion aud making all the capital possible
out Of their generosity. The contribu-
ton of Bob Davis Co the fund TO pay the
expenses of the excursion was . very
.lightoue. 1t was 50 small that a magni-
tying glass could not discern more than
W figures on the bank note.
The truth of the matter is hat Davis
counted on the necessaries for the
bar and lunch counter being con-
.tributed, aud then he caused ASSESS
ments each OF $40 to be levied on
A~ssemblymRu Hugh Kelly, Police Cap
tain Johu +. Kelly. Superintendent c.. p.
Smith. Billy Heller. Philip Muldoon.
John j. German, James G. Clarke, Pat
rick II. O'Neill. John Boyd. Charles Som
ers and "a score of other politicians. and
The sum raised was used to pay tina bill
and to give Bob Davis credit for having
done the very unusual thing. an act Of
genuine charity.
Bob Davis does not deserve a particle
of credit for the free outing. for the per-
sous mentioned are the ones solely en-
titled to IL, and IL Davis had not. In Cap
tain Kidd styls, forced the assessments.
the excursion would probably have never
been given. 80 much for Bob Davis as a
Dhilan6hropist.

Printer. We trust this support is
meant in a Pickwickian sense. Me-
kean RAJ a queer sort OF side show
during the last political campaign, the
purpose of which appears to have
been to lead up to a dinner at the
end, which should draw attention to
Mexican as a creditor Of the Demo-
cratic party. As a matter OF tact, so
far, from aiding in the victory, last
fall, we believe the State Committee
found McKean's side show a serious
embarrassment.
McKean's previous career in this
State was chiefly notable for the
slanderous warfare which he waged
on Governor Albeit in the interest of
a small Elizabeth politician, whose
ambition the Governor would not

now paying Off the bills for the Sham
case The jurors fees amounted to $672.
The coustahles connected with the case
got 1878 altogether. The hotel board for
the jurors and constables will be about
$500. Clerk Gammere swore fitty-four
witnesses on the trial. The fees
amounted TO 1927. II ia estimated that
Professor Wormley's bill will be 500,
Professor CernwalF's $500, DR.. Cautwelrs
$3.50 and Dr.. Wethernili's 500. The
Ceroner's inquest cost S273, besides the

there 10 the Sheriff's fee, also that OF his
deputy ana u nun er of other incidental
court bills, which will bring the figures
up to at least $1,000. The tot Il axpenes
OF the trial will be about S., 1000.
1T was reported on the streets OF Prince
ton yesterday that Mrs. Sham had deeded
her property IN Princeton to one of her
counsel before the trisl, and IL she were
acquitted AMI the insurance money paid
the counse l fees were to be paid from
that and the property decided back to her.
This Is given for what 1t may be worth.
There are many rumors flying about;
In fact. the air is full OF them. One re-
port says that she will dispose of her
Princeron property aud 60 West. whore
she has relatives living. This rumor
is also not ~substantiated. The case will
pass into the annals of the jurisDrud ence
of the county and State as perhaps the
most extraordinary That has ever been
tried. The verdict Of acquittal leaves the
case surrounded by as great mystery MS
ever. Captain Holt said Yesterday that
he verify believed the whole thing
would DO revealed some day; that
IL would DO known who robbed
the body OF John Sham, and
why 1t was done. He said Mrs, Sham
was anxious TO go on the stand aud tell
her story, and when asked If she could
stand the ordeal of a cross examination
upon tbs story of the three men coming
to the house she said:-"Ir Is true, every
word Of IL. and l can say nothing alss."
She also told her daughter TO tell the
truth aud nothisg elss when on the
stand. The colored a the cook. was
not called, but he expected to be. and
she told him tt tell the truth" and 1t
would De all right.

A Strike That Is a Public crime.

n 6tffke 1nat IS u HuDllC Urine.
One of the most striking features of
the present situation in New York is
the strike Of the 'Longshoremen. 1t
is hard to understand how any set of
men should be SO blind to their own
interests and so reckless as to the eff
feet upon their fellow workers as to
participate in this dastardly on
slaught upon the just reviving bust
ness of the metropolis.
The worst of it all is that it is only
for a technicality these men are fight
ing. Here is the statement Of the
Section Foreman on the Mallory
pier, mi Cornelius German, whose
name should be held up before all
laborers, as their most desperate
enemy
times ars hard, and If the companies had put
the matter to us IN the right way there ism Z a
man In South street who would not have taken
The 70 cents. But nothing was said to us until
We went TO work on Monday. Then a stevedore
STOOD on the dock and yelled out that we would
nave only % cents an hour night and day.
There wasn't a word of explanation, and we
were treated like a lot of cattle. We have no
other grievance against the company.
When other men are marching for
work and bread, these fools are starv-
ing and standing still for more urbane
treatment. Truly the working man
is often his own worst enemy. When
and faulty gets hold of
him he can do himself and the COM
munity more harm in a day than all
the monopolies i'll the World can in a
lifetime.
