controversy.
What Lewis Merrill has to do with the
matter under discussion, we are at loss
to see. But since the subject has been
brought up, we will say that The ENoUIR-
Err has never asked forgiveness for its
course in 1871, ,-2,-3, etc., and it has never
repented. When The Herald shows that
it has the nerve, the courage, the man
hood, to obey the law and stand by the
right under such trying circumstances as
existed then, without reward, or hope OF
reward, it will no longer be subject to the
suspicion of being connected with con-
spiracy to violate the consultation Of its
state. THE ENQUIRER has made and
does make mistakes; but if there is any
thing in its long careers that it manage
ment then, and now, feels that it has no
cause to regret, 1t is it's course during the
dark period just referred to.
But of all The Herald's ridiculous wrig-
Cling, that parallel 'clincher'' caps the
climax. Was not every word of The
Herald's editorial 'staring tho reader in
the face" at the head of the same article
in which occurred the alleged misrepre-
sentation? Was there anybody 30 silly
as to misconstruo our purpose to show by
paraphrase that while The Herald WAS
pretending to pose as the mouthpieco of
eastern York, it was speaking only for
itself and fellow conspirators Was the

- There has been a great deal oi
talk to the effect that if the Chicago
convention adopts a free silver platform
for the Democrats to carry any of the
northeastern states will be simply out
of the question. Many individuals are
so strongly welded to this idea as TO be-
leve that it does not admit of ques-
ton. The New York Herald is one OF
the greatest newspapers in the world,
and editorially is one of the most ram
pant gold bugs in the northeast; but
it does not allow its editorial opinions
to interfere with it's news service. Du-
ring the past 10 days it has sent a
large number of shrewd and reliable
correspondents to different parts of the
state for the purpose of finding out the
silver sentiment, and, as the result, it
reports that the whole country is like
a field of dry grass in August, waiting
for the match. Several men who were
elected by the state convention to

San Francisco is famous the world over
for its weeklies, especially the Wasp,
which recently celebrated its twentieth
year. 1t is the oldest colored cartoon
paper in the United States, and the good
work performed bv it during the recent
campaign was not only recognized at
home, but throughout the Eastern States.
In the November Review of Reviews ap-
peared the Wasp's famous campaign car
toon depicting the price of labor in free
silver countries. The great magazine
speaks of it as the most convincing picto-
rial argument OF the political controversy.
In the number which appears this
morning Is succint information by WELL
known writers concerning our people, ac-
companied by beautiful iliastra tions. 1t
is just the thing to send East or abroad to
friends, as showing the grandeur OF our
city, bay, ETC., in winter.

JACK DAVIS BENEFIT.
The Antics OF Two inexperienced
Youths the Only Amusing
Eeafura.

From financial standpoint the benefit
to Jack Davis at the Grove-street Theater
last night was not success, as there were
barely hundred persons in the house.
The entertainment consisted OF four
round bout between Abe Roberts and Jack
King, one of four rounds between Patsy
McCabe and Alex Pantazes, friendly
sparring match of three rounds by Charles
Rochette and "Yank' Savage and final
cutting match of three rounds by Jack
Davis and Denny Muller. None OF the
bouts were worth description.
The audience was kept in good humor,
however, at the expense of fractional
witted youth named Kemp, who was IN
duced 10 box without wearing his shoes
and to rack his throat in proud en-
deavor to render some of the latest pop
ular airs.
Lon Agnew acted as timekeeper and
master of ceremonies, being assisted by
Tom Sharkey's bulldog. The bulldog
came without Tom.
Another diversion was created by some
joker coaching McCabe, who is an mex
perienced youth just arrived from the
Emerald Isle, TO step to the front OF the
stage and very seriously challenge the
world at his own weight.

The San Francisco call., 1896-12-19

The local affair has no such high aims
as the Eastern travellers had, still the
coast travellers want to raise sufficient
money to endow beds in every hospital on
the Pacific Coast, so that the unfortunate
or improvident commercial man may be
sure of proper care should he be taken i'll
at any place away from his home.
This is beautiful sentiment which the
ass ociation wishes to put into practice.
Ben Schloss one of the directors of the
Pacific Coast Commercial Travellers Asso-
citation, has been travelling through the
East to strengthen himself in the details
of the fair held there, so as to inculcate its
best elements into the one to be held here.
At the annual meeting to be held Decem-
Der 81 in the Columbia Theater, Mr..
Schloss will tell all he learned, and one OF
the first requirements of the candidates
for election as directors will be to work
out the "hospital endowment" PROPOSE
ton. Committees will be appointed to go
ahead with the affair, and their reports
will be made on the last Saturday of jan
uary at the Grand Hotel.
There is probably no institution wider
in scope in this State than is the conglom-
Grafton of travellers associations. The
Pacific Coast Travellers Association (in-
corporated) organized fourteen years ago.
IL QlSOrgaplZeQ dIter SIX years ana new
organization was Incorporated July Is,
1891. The latter is the largest ever formed
on this coast and numbers nearly 1000
members.
The United Com merclal Travellers As
sociation in Columbus, Ohio, has several
strong organizations in this State.
There are also the two branches of the
Travellers Protective Association, whose
mem bers are rapidly increasing. This is
purely a business institution, the mem
bers carrying $4,000 insurance policies
each and are entitled to sick benefits.
Four months ago the San Francisco trav-
elers organized as a distinct institution.
All these concerns, singly and col
lectively, are made up of the cleverest and
brainiest men in social and business cir
cles. Wherever they 90 they carry sun
shine and prosperity, for no place ever
spered or was happy where the COM
mercial man has not opened his sample
cases.
They propose now to do something for
their sick and INDECENT workers who have
fallen by the wayside while toiling, that
they may be cared for comfortably in
their old age. There is no doubling that
the fair to be held here will be encourag d
by liberal patronage when the time comes
for it to be held.

There are four orders of travelling sales
men on this coast, and an effort is being
made by the Pacific Coast Commercial
Travellers Association to have them COM
bine early next year for the purpose OF
charity to themselves and theirs.
The idea is to hold a fair in this City
some time in April or May, 1897 say, at
the Mechanics Pavilion, after the pattern
cut out by the Eastern association, whose
fair at Madison Garden, New York, was
held up to two weeks ago. That social
assembly was to raise $l50,00O to build a
home for the aged and INDECENT CONNER
cial travellers, and the business world
turned out to assist in the affair. 1t was
an overwhelming success.
