1t is estimated that there are two hum
dred thousand vasabonds and beggars in
the German Empire, including thieves, pick
pockets and other swindlers, and the author
tiles estimate the annual loss TO honest
people by their operations al the enormous
sum Of S25, 100000. Many of these evildoers
are brought before the magistrates from
time to time, but both judges and juries are
accused of administering too mildly even
the mild laws of Germany against vaga
bondage. The evil has become so great that
the government is understood to be pre-
pairing severe law for bringing scoundrclS
of the vagabond class to Justice.
