Law is Not Always Justice.


The Justice mill had been grinding its regular
term during the past three weeks in one OF the
large counties on the Red River Valley. The
venerable old Judge had disposed of a very large
calendar in what he considered comparatively
short tme and he felt contented. if not pleased
with his work, although he was tired and weary;
little rest and recreation during the snort
holidays vacation would however set him all
right for the duties of the coming year. 1t was
the last Friday before Christmas; such mild
and beautiful December. not even the Oldest
settlers could remember in this part of the
state. But as the old Judge walked up to the
court house that morning to finish up the last
case of the term, he surveyed the far of horizon
with his searching blue eyes and remarked in
his usual sangacious and grave manner. Ben,

Astoria, Or, May 18th, 1881
To the Editor of the Astorian:-
Sir: It Is conceded on all sides, that
James w. Hare has made the most eiIi-
clera competent and obliging postmas-
ter that any community ever had or
could wish for He has been, in the
best sense of the term, "a servant Of
the people," Early and late, without a
murmur, he has ON all occasions
promptly and pleasantly discharged his
duties. This has been one of the guar
antees to each and every one Of us,
who know him, that II he be elected
sheriff of Clatsop county the functions
Of that office will be performed by him
in the same upright, manly and thor
ough manner that he has performed all
his public business. Mr.. Hare expected
to go to every precinct in the county
and personally see every electcT. In ac-
cordance with that avowed determina-
ton, Mr. Hare has already visited many
precincts of the county, and intended to
continue his visits until the Saturday
before election. owing to unavoidable
circumstances, this pledge he Is now un-
able to keep, as it will not be possible
for him to leave the postofiice to do any
further work in the present campaign,
and It is but fair to him that our citi-
zens should know the reason why Mr..
Hare Is unable to further canvass the
county. The mailing clerk of the post
office, who has been In that position for
several years, upon whose dispatch and
accuracy the postmaster and the public
depend more than upon any other pos
tal official, for correctness In delivering
mall and In whom Mr., Hare placed inn
pliclt confidence, has, within the last
dive or six days, been appointed engineer
for engine company No, 3, Astoria fire
at salary in advance Of
chat received by him as mailing clerk,
rhe clerk deemed II necessary for him
at once to enter upon the duties of his
new situation. He did so and by so
doing left Mr., Hare in such a position
that he must neglect the work which
lies Immediately before him, or he must
leave the canvass Of the balance of the
county not yet visited, to his friends
Mr., Hare proposes to do his duty, and
this requires him to act as mailing clerk
for the remainder of his term. Let his
friends see to 1t that he does not suffer
at the polls for his determination to
rather suffer injury himself than that
the public should be Inconvenience AS
one of his friends, knowing him for
many years, finding him always honest,
4 faithful friend or an open enemy
firmly believing that in his election We
will secure an honorable, impartial and
faithful officer, one who will justify
every trust reposed in him, | hope you
win give this communication the widest
