4 SHAMELESS PROCEEDING.

Evidently some of the Police Justices Of this
or take extraordinary interest in yiolators
of the Excise law. 1t was shameless act for
three of these Justices to ask the District-At-
torney to sustain them as against the police In
their decisions in favor of the liquor dealers who
have forfeited their licenses. The Police JUS
tices construe the laws, not the District At
torney. If they believed their decisions to be
correct, they should use the power of their
courts to enforce them. If there happened to
be decision Of a higher court which was adj
verse to their own, then 1t was their business
and duty to follow that ruling, just as it was
the police captains duty to enforce the law as
pronounced by the higher court
Private business yearns for these Police Jus
tees, as it yearned for Justice Murray twenty
years ago. The men who violate the Excise
laws have no right to protection from the
bench, and the Judges who on and off
the bench in season and out of season,
without rhyme or reason, persist in pro
tecting them will be apt to fall under the sis-
picions which twenty years of time have not al
layed in the case of Justice Murray. The inter-
est shown is unseemly and untimely This
county only ten years ago had to ask the Lcgis-
lature to blot out the whole force of Police
Justices in order to get rid Of three or four cor
rupt ones who showed too great interest in
liquor-dealers, gamblers and other disreputable
characters. A Republican Senate did it in
1873. The next Senate of this State is Repub-
