BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS.

Of equal Importance to the Charter
election is that for representatives il
the county Board OF Freeholders from
Morristown.
The present members are Dalrymple
from the First Ward. and Becker, from
the Third Ward. Republicans; and Van
Wrinkle, Second Ward, and Norris
Fourth Ward. Democrats. Both of the
Republican members have ably repre-.
sented their wards and were useful
members of the Board. 1t is to be hoped
that they will allow their names to be
again placed in nomination.
MIR. Van Wrinkle will not run again,
while Mr.. Norris says she is not even in
the hands of his friends"
In Dover the situation is somewhat
peculiar, owing to the recent decision of
the courts. However, the difficulty as
to Freebooter representation was RENE
died by the recent Legislature, SO that
the "Echo City" will have, as heretofore,
two representatives in the Board, al
though elected from districts, and not
wards. Messrs. Vreeland and Gillen
are the present officials, the former a
Republican and the latter an out and out
16 to Bryanite. The new members, it
is safe to predict, will be Republicans.
This will give the Republicans major
ity in the board, which will be of adj
vantage to the public in more ways than
one.

ARBOR DAY.

Gov. Voorhees, has appointed Friday
April 2S, as Arbor Day, and in his pro-
clamation recommends that the day be
devoted by the people to the planting of
forest trees and to appropriate exercises
in the schools.
The school teacher should, and no
doubt will. impress upon the minds of
their pupils the need for tree planting
and cultivation. This should extend to
vines, shrubs and plants of every kind in
order that the children may become in
formed in the economy of nature.

One of the most successful entertain
ments ever given in Morristown was
the operate musicale given last evening
at Mrs. A. G. Downing's. The large
house was literally packed.
The artists were Miss Charlotte
Walker, soprano; Miss Marion Walker,
mezzo- soprano; s. Fischer Miller, tenor;
E. w. Wilmaeth, violin; Carl Schooner,
VIOLA George E. Clauder, cello; and
George Francis Morse, at the pianoforte.
A stage had been improvised in one of
the large rooms, which was very well
set. The musicale opened with a
scene from the second act of .sDer
Freischutz," Weber's famous opera,
which was very we'll done; one If the
interesting features being the appear
ance in the chorus of three young society
women, who did their parts very well
and added to the general effect. A
cello solo was rendered by Mr.. Clauder
with great taste-the Evening STAR
song from sTannhauser" and an air of
Van Goen's-which were greatly en-
joyed by the audience. A part of the
third act of "Freischutz" followed, after
which Mr.. Miller sang Buddhist
lament, which was very fine. A piano
forte quartette by Beethoven closed a
most enjoyable entertainment. 1t is i'm
possible to state who were present, as it
would necessitate transcribing pages
from the social directory We have al
ready given the list of patronesses.

If all things turn out as expect
ed Mr.. j. j, Mercer, who resides

a fortune. Some of his ancestors
who died some years ago left an es-

some orookedness the heirs did not
receive that which was thoirs. The
matter is being Investigated and

Bimetalism Prosperitx.

When this nation enjoyed the
benefits of bimetalism prosperity
was general. The farmer and. the
wage Garner, the merchant and the
mechanic were contented and hap
py.
Since gold monometalism has
practically held sway the condition
of the masses has grown more un-
endurable. Poverty has increased
and discomfort has come to be al
most universal. To be sure the
money lenders have waxed fat.
Wall street has doomed, trusts
have fourished and the GLASSES
have grown more powerful, to in
jury and Impeachment of the
masses.
1t is easy to account for this
condition of affairs. When silver
was demonetized values in real es-
tate and the prices of products fell
and have continued to fall because
gold increased in purchasing pow
er. Every obligation of long stand
ing is now twice or three times as
hard to pay, and the dealers and
holders of gold get the benefit,
while the owners of property are
made to suffer.
There will be no relief from this
condition SO long as the gold mo-
nopoly continues to be maintain
ed, and the gold monopoly will not
end so long as the Republican par
ty is in power. That there should
be alleged Democrats who advocate
the robbery of the people by the
gold conspirators, is matter of
wonderment and sincere regret to
all who love the people. They
who work to retain the present OPP
pressiYe condition of monetary af-
fairs are not friends of the masses
but are for the classes.
Over 100000 voters cast their
ballots for bimetalism in 1896, and
that number will be increased to
an overwhelming majority next
year. William j, Bryan is dearer
to the masses today than ever be-
fore, he will be moro 80 next year.
The people will have relief next
time.-Charleston Courier.
