small matter, a claim for indemnity

Beggars of Paris.

Everybody is or ought to be aware
that begging has been from time i'm
memorial a. regular business with many
1t has, however, been reserved to the
paupers of one of the Partisan wards to
elevate it to the rank of veritable pro-
fession with a syndicate, no less, at its
head. These worthless have just been
holding q meeting to protest against
the action of the local Mayor in return
ing the sum of $4,000 francs, saved dur
ing a period Of several years, to the
Poor Law Board, when, as they affirm,
so MANI urgent, not to say desperate,
cases need relief; and what is more, they
clamor for serious and complete inveS-
tigation into the manner in which money
mas been dealt out during the last de-
cade AS will have been noticed, these
people are very much in earnest, and are
determined not to be done out Of what
they claim as their rights. 1t is true
that this move has not been started I'M
der the banner of pauperism alone, and
that the Syndicate of the Destitute"
as it is styled, processes to represent the
poor who need the help of the charity
officials No doubt it contains a due
proportion of persons who will not beg.
It's formation and the energy which it
is displaying have, however, had the eff
feet of calling considerable attention
to the other category of paupers who are
not above asking for private assistance
as well. There is queer talk to-day of
various address books drawn up for the
use of the professional mendicant, which
can be consulted on payment of a cer-
tain sum. Explanatory notes of a

is stated that a five franc piece can cas-

cries mo money, but clothes" At re-
hgious establishment which regular
ICES" marriages, a complete outfit can
be procured. An introduction as vic
tim Of the Reactionaries and the cures
| to certain rich old Radical is described
as very profitable affair.
Here is a curious story related by a
woman: 'As matter Of fact she ex-
planned, II must confess that my child

Crispi,s Monument.

Crispi, the ex-Premier of Italy, has
no reason to think that his countrymen
will treat his memory kindly, when he
is gone. And so he has had prepared
a beautiful shaft Of Carrara marble
and has caused it to be placed in the
cemetery of Naples. Sculptors have
for some time been at work upon it,
and it's presence has created no end of
comment and curiosity; no one seemed
to know whose remains it was intended
to shelter. But the name "Crispi' now
appears upon the base, carved deep, as
though destined to defy centuries, and
Neapolitan curiosity is Satiated. Pos
sibly Crispi has the right idea after all;
it is better to buy immortality at ones
own expense and during life than to
leave it to the ficlsie sentiments of sell
fish survivors, 10 say nothing of the

justify. Mr.. Hanna appears, accord
ing to them, a coarse, vulgar and sin
gularly stupid briber, a man wholly
without principle and ready to employ
deeds of violence to accomplish his ends.
This is wholly inconsistent with the
character of the man and his lifelong
career in Ohio where he is best known
Sensible men are not prepared to pc
lieve that reputation built up to COM
mand the respect of the community
where it has been gained has been ali a
sham and a cheat, and that the man
has all at once become a wretched and
bungling criminal. The New York
Evening Post" points out that the OPP
pyrotechnic display at the Ohio Capital
is not supported by public opinion. They
have the organization of the Legisla-
ture which gives them a temporary ad-
vantage, but as the New York paper
says, they have not public support II
this is SO. and all the evidences sus-
tain the statement of the Post" 1T is
somewhat remarkable if the people are
ali wrong in this matter being on the
ground and understanding the facts.
The opposition. says the Post" are re-
pudiating all the obligations of partisan
ship, and yet they are unable to show
that there is any patriotism or principle
in their course. In this situation the
champions of regularity are supported
by public opinion, and it remains to be
seen whether the boilers can stand out
against the popular demands that they
