This Sort Already.

With the prospects of another earni-

chants are becoming aroused and do not
hesitate to express their feelings freely.
The following letters on the subject,
which speak for themselves were re-
ceived by the EVENING NEWS this
morning;
Editor, Evening News:

This time the alleged excuse is that 1t

Editor, Evening News:
1t is with considerable pleasure and
qualification that note the interest
manifested by your editorial column of
the 10th inst. which emphatically re-
sents the advent of any more concoc-
tions Of illegitimate schemes and nefar-
iously fraudulent attractions which may
be characterized-a f" festival. -
Before the stain of evident dissatis.
faction and the general condemnation
which has trailed in the wake of the
recent carnival, has an opportunity to
dissipate itself, is the community of
the City of Perth Amboy again to be
subjected to repitition of like cir
leumstanees, consisting of an influx of
east-oH and abject element of circus
employees which unfailingly accompany
such aggregrations of amusement. and
with whom we are naturally forced to
associate on our thorougbfares and at
public markets; unchaste intrigues
which tempt the hard earned wages
from the pockets Of the inexperienced
gambler and curiosity seeker, the dis.
figuring and uncomely advertising
with vivid pigments and alluring pho.
tographs, the coming caravan of
: fakes, all of which blurs and mars the
beauty Of our little cityf
The fact that our police department
Is forced to exercise its utmost ability
and strictest vigilance to prematurely
burst the bubbles of petty criminality
which threaten to explode with disas-
ferrous results to our inhabitants and
their homes, is enough to warrant our
freedom from such plague.
'Tis true, "To give Charity-C Charity
must be given" but it would be to-
ward greater achievement financially
socially and morally if the well-mean-
ling promoters of the contemplated
" festival " would inbent more popu-
lar and legitimate plan to succor the
needs of our afflicted brothers.
