THE BEeGARs.

We do not know what other people

the begging nuisance in Fairmont
ought to be abaied. For the past two
or three weeks II has been almost In.
tolerable. One can scarcely round a
corner that he doesn't run up against
some unfortunate with his hand out
asking for something. The postot.
flee seems 10 be the favorite place OF
resort. The blind, the lame and the
halt congregale there asking aims
and 1t Is fast becoming an intolerable
nuisance. 1t gives strangers bad i'm.
preston and makes the citizens feel
uncomfortable 10 have these mendi.

standing on the curb appealing for
help. This morning at seven o'clock
one Of these beggars was seated in

over his eyes and his hand ont.stretch.
ed. We DO not know whether he was
blind or not as his eyes were hidden
By his hat. However, we do not mean
TO be critical or harsh toward these
unfOrtunates. II they have no friends
they ought to be placed in some char.
liable Institution and kept at public
expense; II they have friends able 10
provide for them or give them some.
thing TO do they ought TO be required
10 look after the dependents. It looks
too much like European customs TO
see hordes of mendIcants hanging
around public places begging. We he.
lieve steps ought to be taken by The
city council 10 rid the town OF the
beggars.
