BEGG1RS IN INDIA.
They Are Fast Disappearing.-Onl
About 5,OOO,OOO Left.

The begGar nuisance is a very COM
mon one in India. and the endeavors
Of the police i'm the large cities To put
it down have met with only a limited
measure Of success. This is no doubt
due to the fact that Indian opinion IS
remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beg
gars, especially if they wear the guise
of religion. But there is reason TO
believe that Il wholesome change is
coming over the public sentiment in
this as in - many other matters.
There were about five millions Of beg
gars in the country at the time of the
last census, and nearly one-ffth of the
number were clasSed as religious men
dicants. The number. large as it is,
represented Il decrease Of about per
cent. from that at the previous census,
and the decline has been attributed in
part to the comparatively heavy NOR
tality among them during the famine
years. But, says the report, ''it is also
partly attributable to the spread of
education and the consequent weaker
hold which the SO-Called aSceticS have
on the Imagination of the people it
being much less easy than it was form
erly for the members of the various
begging communities TO unloose the
purse strings OF the people.
There is happily. reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is filtering down to the
lower levels. This evil is not confined
to one particular community or re-
ligion. 1t is as rampant among the
Mahomctans rs among the Hindoos.
The "Sar Jadid," an ably conducted
vernacular paper. published in upper
India, dealing with questions of
social reform among MahOmetans, has
been forcibly calling the attention of
its co-religionists 10 the necessity of
reform in their notions of charity. Our
contemporary shows by reference 10
the Police Gazette that the number of
MahOmetan beggarS under surveillance
has been rising every week. | cite in

Quick Work by Committee.

"The committee will not be long in

judges-One for each judicial circuit of
the United SrateS-or for such disputes
TO be referred to the Circuit court

would not give it the additional work
