NOBODY was surprised when the Demo
crGt in its last issue, cast reflection on the
committee appointed to investigate the
report about the .almshouse The we'll
known meanness of the supposed editor of
the sheet was sufficient guarantee that the
appointment would not be allowed to pass
without some contemplate fling. It says
the committee can safely be depended
upon to safeguard the reputation of both
the institution and the management. =
For withdrawing purposes no
better selection could have been made. !"
The insinuation is that the gentlemen COM
prising the committee will disregard all
sense of honor and bring in report that
will cover up any Irregularities they may
discover. We do not believe anything of
the sort, nor will any fairminded citizen
believe otherwise. There is not the slight
est doubt that the reports about the aims
house have been greatly exaggerated and
that those referring to the Steward are
ibellous. That the report will show
this state of affairs there is little
doubt and this is what worries the
editor of the Democrat, and he proposes to
get his shot in ahead of the report. There
will not be any whitewashing. If there
is reason for censure it will be forthcom-
ing. The gentlemen comprising the com
mittee are men of honor. Not one of
them would take an oath to do his duty as
grand juror and then deliberately ignore
legal evidence and fail to do justice, nor
would either of them gain entrance to a
lodge on an avowal of belief in the
existence of supreme being, only to
be expelled later on when it became
known that the avowal was untrue and
that the unworthy applicant was an in
f1del at the time of admission.

This Week at Keith's.

No act that has ever been presented at
Keith's has created such widespread inter
est as that given by Ching Ling Foo, the
wonderful Chinese magician. On no day
last week were there less than capacity
audiences afternoon and evening. 1t goes
without saying that Ching, if attendance
be criterion, is the most popular attrac-
ton extant. Even the dozen boxes have
been crowded nightly, and more people or
dered seats reserved when an orchestra
chair is reserved 81 is exacted for the seat
than were during any previous six weeks.
Many seats have been ordered week in
in advance, an unusual thing at this house.
People who came to see Ching alone were
enthusiastic over the remainder of the pro
gram. As to Ching no more is required
than the announcement that he will ap-
pear twice daily this week. No one knows
what his performance will consist OF on
any afternoon or evening, for it is con-
stantly being varied. The comedian of
the Chinese troupe, the charming little
girl and clever youth will also give the
entertainment with which they used to de-
light the Emperor of China. Thomas j.
Dempsey, formerly of the Forepaugh
Stock Company, who has many admirers
will be seen in a sketch by the author Of
ga Stranger in a Strange Land New
Workers at Keith's welcomed the new
conner and applauded the skit Joe WEIGH,
the funniest of the Hebrew comedians;
William Window and his quartet, Melrose
Brothers, Imperial Comedy Three, Ward
and Curran, Annie Whitney and Dixon,
Bowers and Dixon are also in bill in
which magic, mirth and melody FREEDOM

DURING the meeting of the Board of
Freeholders on Tuesday, there were pre-
sent two representatives of the Burlington
County Medical Society. They had not,
up to the hour OF adjournment, asked per-
mission to speak, but it was well known
to some of the members of the Board that
they desired to be heard on the subject of
location Of the new insane asylum of the
almshouse. They had been appointed by
the medical society for that purpose One
of them represented the majority in favor
of locating away from the almshouse the
other appeared in behalf of the minority
who want the insane asylum on the coun-
ty property. Common courtesy seems to
indicate that the doctors should have been
given hearing. They are taxpayers and
represent those who help to bear the
county expenses. They were entitled to
the same hearing that is accorded the man
with bill for damages to horse, or to
the fellow who wants bridge built or
some other matter involving the expendi-
ture of the peoples money. But, when
the business of the day had been transact
ed, there was hasty motion to adjourn
made by one of the committee on the sub
ject, man by the way, who was particu-
laryl active in aiding the appointment of
an architect, who wants to make a repu-
tation 1t is all nonsense to say that the
members did not know these gentlemen
were in waiting for hearing. The Free
holder who offered the motion to adjourn
knew it, and acknowledged that he was
aware of the fact and made his motion to
prevent the medical men from speaking.
This savors very much of gag law, and
the member in question should bear in
mind that he is not the entire county, nor
does he bear the entire expense of conduct
ing its affairs He is but servant. He
also made the remark that he wanted it
understood the insane asylum was going
to be built on the county property at New
Lisbon and nowhere else. This may be
the fact, he may control the entire affair,
but he must also remember that there are
some people who have right to express
their views. even if they do not accord
with the ideas in his exalted brain.

THERE will not be much worry over the
complexion of the next two Senates of
New Jersey. Five members will be elect
ed in 1900, four of whom are Democrats.
Cape May will undoubtedly re-elect a
Republican, and so will Burlington unless
the members of the party here make bad
break and put in nomination some man
who is distasteful to the people. We have
every desire to see the county again rep
resented in the Senate by Republican,
and it will be unless the suicidal action
that has sometimes prevailed here, is again
resorted to- If all the counties that are to
elect Senators send back the same politi-
cal delegations that are now in seats at the
state capital, the Republican majority
will not be impaired.

Vose Piano

When a man shouts from
the roof-tops that he is a gen.
tleman, it is safe to assume
that he is anything but a gen
tleman.
The makers of the Vose
piano do not claim that their
pianos are as good as the
Chickering or the Steinway,
but they keep on making good
pianos-we think the best
after these two great ones.
Philadelphia thinks SO too.
Since we took up the Vose-
not very long ago-the piano
has sprung into wide popular
ity and it deserves it. The
tone, action, finish, design,
and work are SO good that the
price is a surprise to almost
everybody.
These and other pianos may
be bought and paid for all at
once, or by monthly payments
we adding interest at four
per cent. per year for the &C
commodation.
If you would like to have
tuning done by our Chickering
tuners-we do it particularly
well-send your orders to our
store.
