overrun with curs it could have adopted no better
law for the purpose than the one in existence.
tions and we begin to have our fears that II win
do very little good unless the ordinance regulating
1t is remeddled and improved. Yesterday morn.

for drunkenness, all of whom were released be-

expense of the State In other cities all topers and
disturbers Of the public peace are fined for their
bad conduct and then sent to the work house or
cnain gang to earn their fines by bard labor. The
Council ought to adopt similar plan here and re-
quirs the Mayor to put idle loafers to work, when
convicted of violating the laws of society and de.
ceney. Unless this is done. the chain gang will
prove efltte value to our city.
