AMONG the questions which have been

AMONG the questions which have been
occupying the attention of the Legislature
is that of liquor selling. There is general
idea that the present laws need revising,
although there are many who think that
If the present statutes were enforced it
would have very beneficial effect.
However there will probably be something
done before the adjournment of the Legis-
lature. One measure that has been offered
deals with the subject of screens, providing
that bar-rooms be visible from the street
at all times This is objected to by liquor
men-and right here 1t might be mentioned
that they object to almost everything that
brings them before the public criticism
and they want the act so arranged that
screens will be removed after nine o'clock
in the evening and on all days that it is
unlawful to sell liquor. The open win
dows in bar-room are good thing.
If liquor dealer is conducting perfectly
legitimate business he will not fear the
public gaze. The man who is ashamed to
take drink because some one sees him
had better not drink at all. In the city
of Boston the open view has obtained for
a long time. In passing hotels or drinking
saloons in that city one may. if SO disposed.
have full view Of all that is going on in
side, for there can be but one place where
liquor is served-no back rooms for secret
drinks.A the testimony islthat this anti
screen" provision has more to do with an
orderly conduct Of saloons than whole
books of law could produce. Prohibition.
local option and all those theories do not
gain much Roadway, but laws to reduce
lawlessness are In demand.

past administrations. But it is as 1t |
should be, and the county has a right to
the gain that accrues from the strict en-
forcement of the law. The sheriff will
not lose anything at the rate he now gets
for boarding his charges. A sheriff in
Pennsylvania last week informed a tax
payer of this county that out of the 25
cents per day he received for boarding
prisoners he cleared one half of that sum-
And he gives them three meals day, and
gives them good food. His average num-
Der OF boarders is twenty, no tramps.
Figures recently given in connection with
our almshouse showed the cost to be about
30 cents per inmate per day, and that sum
fuel, help and all that sort of thing. Yet
here comes our sheriff who claims that be-
cause he has to obey the law he does not get
enough profit. He knew well enough
what he would get for this service for he
was member of the Board of Freeholders
for some time and is perfectly aware that
the custom for long time was to have
this item fixed that an incoming official
might be forewarned. Any one who
knows the bill of fare served at the Jail,
with only two meals day, will find it
hard work to figure out loss at 25 cents.
The cry that provisions are higher than
heretofore is all bosh. The meat used at
the jail is bought for not more than four
cents pound. Flour is lower than it has
been for year. Potatoes may be laid in
in the fall for 25 cents basket, and the
other things used in the soup are not ex-
pensive. Take breakfast of bread and
coffee and dinner of soup. and 1t will
not require much figuring to discover how
far % cents will go toward furnishing it.
There is no reason whatever for an in
crease in this budget If any move is to be
made it would be better to reduce five
cents, but under the rule that has hereto
fore prevailed not to disturb the price
during the incumbency of an official there
should not be any change and the Free
holder who favors an increase will proba
bly, hear from his constituents.

"a Yankee Circus ON Mars" direct from ths
New York Hippodrome, will begin a foul
weeks engagement at the Grand Opers
House, In Philadelphia, on April g. The
dramatized circus is the show which opened
the big New York play house a year ago and
made It instantly world famous. Thompson
Dundy promise Philadelphia that the pro
duction is better In many WAYS than when II
made theatrical history In New York
"a Yankee Circus on Mars is a combination
of spectacle, musical extravaganza comedy
ballet. circus and specially. Five hundred
persons are on and of the stage during its
progress, and its character is entirely differ
ent and distinct from the ordinary theatrical
routine.
Nearly an hour of the production is devoted
to arenic acts, and no such an array of world
famous artists ever was printed before on one
programme.
The show has its rational story throughout
The opening view disclOses a travelling circus
of the familiar type picturesquely encamped
for the day on village "lot." An attach
of the enterprise, and the flashing upon the
scene of Messenger from Mars, commits
stoned by his Majesty of the Planet to pur.
chase Yankee Circus" and convey 1t to the
Kingdom. The transaction is completed then
and there and the journey is begun by air ship
as the scene changes.
In the Royal Court Yard of Mars, before his
Imperial Highness and his dignitaries and
retfnue, the Yankee Circus provides enter
tafnment which sets a new standard in aero
battle, gymnastic, equestrian and specialist
endeaVor, an athletic tournament embracing
the sensational triumphs of the age and of the
world.
"The Dance of the Hours accom- plished by
IA girls, concludes the show. This ballet has
never been approached in magnitude, SPLEEN
dor and skill of execution, 1t is agreed, even in
the boosted efforts of the Empire and the AL
hambra, of London. VincenZo Romeo, dis
tinguished ballet master of Milan, Italy, was
entised to this country to teach it. and he
brought with him the most adroit mistresses
of the dance he could find abroad.

AMONG the resolutions adopted by the
Board of Freeholders on Wednesday was
one asking the members of the Legislature
from this county to vote against all bills
having in view the increase of salaries
of public officials The idea of this resolu-
ton was to reach all officers, state, county
and municipal. This movement on the
part of our county fathers should go some
distance In aiding the legislators in their
action on such bills. This resolution is
the echo of the sentiment expressed all over
the county. There have been and still are
under discussion bills having for their OBJ
ject the increase of the salaries of Judges,
Prosecutors. Supervisors of Roads, and SO
on, and there is no knowing where the end
will be. Whatever the outcome and what
ever others may do the Burlington county
members should respect the wishes of their
constituents, and the resolution of the
Freeholders will be sufficient explanation,
If any be needed, for their refusal to in
crease salaries.

Putting food into diseased stomach is

Putting food into diseased stomach is
like putting money into pocket with
holes. The money is lost All its value
goes for nothing When the stomach is
diseased, with the allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition, the food which is put
into it is largely lost. The nutriment is
not extracted from it. The body Is weak
and the blood impoverished. The pocket
can be mended. The stomach can be
cured. That sterling medicine for the
stomach and blood, Doctor Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery, acts with peculiar
promptness and power on the organs of
digestion and nutrition. 1t ia a positive
cure for almost all disorders of these or
gans, and cures also such diseases of the
heart, blood, liver and other organs, as
have their cause in a weak or diseased
condition of the stomach.

AN IDEA seems to be prevalent that the
body and that it will do almost anything
it is required to. And there seems to be
some foundation for this idea At the
last meeting bills were approved, giving
dollars worth of supplies to the county
offices. Pens, pencils, ink. paper, and
other articles are furnished, the majority
going to the Clerks Office. With these
all paid for the officials have good time
in pocketing large fees. Why should this
be sof There are things that the county
must provide In the way of books, but be-
yond that a halt should be called. On
Wednesday a bill was presented In the
coolest manner imaginable for a number
ing machine to do the work required by
law and for which fees are charged. If it
is necessary to have this labor-saving ma
chine let the fellow who is saved work
pay for the luxury. Butt main trouble
is the way these things are DONE No
body is consulted in advance, the goods
are ordered and then the bills are brought
In. That was the way with the charge
for work done at Browns Mills. A prop
erty owner interested In making that place
a great resort, not for the benefit of the
county or with any idea of enriching our
treasury, went to work in his own way
and built drain which he thought nee
essary and then brought the bill in and
asked the county to paw half of it. If a
Freebooter wants similar work done he
must. under penalty, call a committee to-
eether and get its sanction to do the job.
In this case even the local Freebooter was
not consulted. And the Board, after
mild kicks, paid the bill like little lambs
This sets the precedent for others to do
as they please. These systems are all
wrong. If the members and committees
are of any account. if they stand for any
thing at all, let them show it and refuse to
be pushed into things which they know
are not as they should be and which low.

Or ALL THE nonsensical propositions
that to increase the price of board of pris-
oners in our county Jail is the limit.
There is absolutely no argument in favor
of it, the only plea that was offered being
one that had better have been left unsaid.
That was that the recent actions of the
courts in calling attention to the manner
in which trsmps were committed and dis
missed from the Jail had made business at
that institution improbable. One speak
er asserted that when prisoner is now
committed for so days he would be kept
there for that period and the board
charged up to him would be honestly
earned. That is quite . reflection on the

A PIrIFUL part of the proceedings of the
Methodist Conference in session in New
Brunswick was the hauling before the body
of an aged minister on charge of not
paying his debts. The clergyman has a
charge In the lower part of the state, at
which he receives the munifcent sum
of $685. year, with 800 for house rent
He incurred his indebtedness in educating
two sons, and has never been able to get
rid of the burden. The conference decided
that the minister had not intended to de-
fraud any one and he was let off with a re-
primand. Then the Bishop who presides
preached a grand sermon on love. :"
1t is all right for churches to inculcate the
doctrine Of necessity for paying debts,
but 1t would be more to the point if some
of those with more worldly goods than the
man who was tried were prodded. There
are plenty of debtors in the congregations
and they are often the first to cry
"wolf."
