Grave Public Questions Growing Out of

Immoralitles have recently been charged
In the public press against the management
OF tho almshouse at Yaphank, in Suffolk
County. These charges have been OF an
offensive character and the sources whence
they emanatcd seeming TO leave room for
doubt as to their truthfulness, we have re-
Trained from giving them currency. Tho
inculpated parties are the keeper and the
superintendent. Waving the question OF
their innocence or guilt 81 any Intentional
wrong, we find what appears to Us qucs-
ton OF public importance raised by the facts
which they have stated in the way Of reply
70 tho accusations.
They say that they took several Of the in
mates Of the Suffolk County alnlshouse to
Chicago and there left them. These persons
were paupers and unable TO support them
selves, or they would have had no right to
be in the Suffolk County almshpusc. The
keeper and superintendent all"gc that they
procured situations for them in Chicago

that the situations were obtained with a
