The Local Govei-nmeiit Boaid will be siiggeste'l, a.nd tliev arc a verv likely body, but there is a medium much more likely, and tl-.at is onr Boards of Guairdiams. They, in their pfisi- tic-n as distributors of out-relief, knew the deserving and the undeserving cases. Cem- ing ill cnn'.v.iict with the nee-.l'y p;-oi' and the confirmed rascal who will not work (neither will he .starve, but ought to do), the members of the Boards of Guardians are not long in distingnishilig who .are who- ami what is what.. It is not for a moment intended thn.il the gen­ eral “land surveyor with no- ]iin-])OGe,” if we mav use such a term, shall be entitled to re­ ceive .oinv such pension. AA'ith the Bcard.s cf Girardiahs in full iiower, to say who shall and who shall not receive an old age pension,the aged iKjor islionld Ivtve -ai teiulenciy to de­ crease if such a thing is possible in these days cf fierce' compeliljpii. d'he worthless good^ for-notl.ing who will not work will h.ave no prospecls of anv kind, save :;t.arv.aition, for his is not a deserving ca-se. On,tbe other iiand, when a man is apiiroaching the age which will entitle Iv-m to- receive an old age pension, and he still follows his employment, he may in. the end find it unnecessary to make app'.iinraon for sncli pension.
