ROUGH BEGGING.

It is not the poor miserable unfor- tunate modestly asking for a pittance for a bite tc eat or a bed. who ere ates the prejudice against the public beggar It is the bold man, frequent ly in a drunken condition, who makes demands for charity like a hold-up man demands your cash, who is re- sponsible for the sentiment against public beggars. This latter class is professional in its character These 2 vwxaSs roam from place to place, staSing only until their faces get ia. miliar and their picking gets poor. They seldom venture out before night fall. and they work systematically until the last street pedestrian is off the street. They are the ones who should be delivered over to the off. cers on their first appearance, so that the really unfortunate might not suf fer because of the prejudice the ira- poster creates.

WILL PROVE MONEY SAVER.

 Have you conscientious scruples against rendering a verdict of guilty where the punishment is death?" is a question formerly propounded to jurors, which will be eliminated That was the question most of the best qualified jurors disqualified themselves on.
 Better juries will be secured in the trial of murder cases in the future and instead of these juries being out two or three days, as is frequently the case, the jury will be able to come to a conclusion within a short time and the yerdicts will be more apt tc stick in the appeals taken 10 the higher courts.
