UNFAIR TO THE JUSTICES.
Editor EVENING NEWS:

Allow me little space in the
South Amboy column to say a few
words in reference to an article tina.
appeared in Wednesdays issue of the
Perth Amboy Chronicle in reference
to the justices of the peace of Middle
sex county, who the Chornicle editor
was pleased to style crooks. There
may be some justices in the county
that may have made mistakes
through ignorance in the manner of
keeping their docllets. The laws are
so changeable by amendments, re-
pealers, etc, that some may have
made mistakes for this reason and
We have not the least doubt but there
maybe some that form their office
for all they can get out of it ana if
the editor of the Chronicle had said
In his issue that there were some
among the justices of Middlesex
county that deserved to be classed
among the crooks and that the courts
were determined to ferrett them out,
there would not have been the least
objection, but to style all the justices
of the peace in Middlesex county as
crooks was unwarranted, for every
man should be considered innocent
until proven guilty.
Therefore, it matters not what the
courts may charge, the justices of the
peace should have the respect of the
press and people of MiddleseX county
until they are proven to be crooks.
Now there are other officials living i'll
Middlesex county that perhaps are
as liable to suspi ion as many of the
justices of the peace. AT one time we
were in the city of New York and a
man caile rushing down the street
crying 'Stop thief, stop thief" and
number of persons following on in
the chase also crying the same words
Stop theft" We did not know very
much about the ways of New York
and were looking ahead of the fore
most man for the theft, when VIZ
were informed that the man in tht
( lead was the thief himself, and was
crying stop thief to divert attention
from the genuine article. The writer
has held the office of justice cf the
peace continuously since 1875 ant
this is the first time in his memory
that he has been stigmatized either
by press or people as being unjust OIL
in any way crooked and should he
live until February g. he will be OIL
hand with both civil and criminal
dockets before the grand jury and il
the investigation is adverse he will
take the outcome like man, but IN
our minds we doubt if any man who
so readily is willing to call a large
numberof men crooks (who many ol
them he has never seen and against
whom he has not a scintilla of evi
dence to warrant him in SO doing
thereby placing them in position tt
be jerred at) if all his official acts
would stand investigation with any
better results than many of the mum
ber who, in. the columns of his paper
he has been pleased to style crooks, il
