Street BcgEars.

Among the questions asked the policemen
in the examinations recently held under
the local civil service orders of the Com
missionerS was the following: What
should be done with beggars asking aims
in the streets?' Without giving the MEM
bers of the force any undue advantage by
tipping them on this important query, The
Star ventures to declare that the best thing
that can be done to such persons, in the in
terest of the community as we'll as the beg
gars themselves, is to send them to the
nearest station house, where they can be
comfortably detained while their cases are
Investigated. If such person is worthy
and in actual want some means could be
readily found to relieve him or her. If the
beggar proves to be an imposter, profess
sicnal or a tramp, the workhouse is an ex-
cellent asylum, or the quickest means of
exit from the city could be suggested and
offered to the mendicant without the
choice of a refusal. There is little danger
of doing injustice and working hardship if
the police officers do their duty Intelligent
ly and well. To encourage the street beg
CARS is as a rule to weaken the general
cause of charitable relief, and every case Of
imposition found and positively proved will
help those who are earnestly anxious to aid
the poor and suffering, and benefit the lat
ter as we'll.
