THE ORANGEMEN.
Probate JudEshEp.

ED. HEEALD:-As a "looker on in
Venice" possibly to become a set
tier in your rich valley to enjoy
your magnificent climate, I may be
pardoned Il word regarding your
local politics.
AS to persons of property and
good moral chara cter, the chances
are largely in their favor lhatehey
will never be in litigation, and the
question as to who fl!s The various
county officers is not necessarily a
vital one But all such persons, in
common with every citizen who has
any property, have SPECIAL and
personal interest in one office, and
the character Of the man wHo Nils it
is The vital ques ion, and noi his
politics. l refer to the office OF
Probate judge. E>ery man or wo~
man who has property Is rs liable
to die as those who have ore, ard
at once their p operty u, comes u
ject to the control Of til Pr bate
Court. If judge is tricky and nses
his Office for PEI sonal gain b. yond
his legitimate fees, or so uses his ol5~
portun1lies a. to vastly increase Ills
legitimate fees, he at once becomes
the direct robber Of widows, orphans
and creditors OF the estate. This
cannot be prevented by The making
of I. will, because that very viii
must itself come before the Probate
Judge. If he Is impure, his harpy
talons VIII fasien upon the estate
whether the dead man or
dead woman has sought to protect
that estate by mGkin2 will or not.
The writer has known the office of
Probate Judge TO be filed by a man
who was So constantly y partial in his
rulings and decisions to one or two
attorneys that soon nearly ali the
proba!e practice was done by those
attorneys. The public was forced
TO believe that those attorneys were
the favorltcs of the court because
they divided their numerous and
/ heavy fees with the Probate Judge.
Collusion between a corrupt Probate
judge and the administrator or exec
utor Of an estate is almost always
practiced, so that the fees are sweiied
far beyond their rightful amounts,
while the administrator is allowed
TO keep and use the funds Of the
estate to the hindeiance Of heIrs and
creditors much longer than he
would 90 under Judge of spouess
integrity.
a corrupt Probate Judge, ior hi:
