THE WESTMINSTER POOR.

The benevolent in the various parts of the metro-
polis are making appeals on behalf of the food in
view of the approaching winter. The other day
Lady Herbert asked the help of the public for
the Roman Catholic poor of Westminster ; now
Canon Conway appeals on behalf of the rest of
the poor. Poverty, he states to be a chronic,dis-
order in the neighbourhood ; it is one of the chief
resorts of the beggars and thieves of London ;
yet there is a large population of coster-
mongers and others struggling honestly for
a living. Canon Conway appeals to his wealthy
neighbours for money and clothing. Perhaps the
Canon's conscience troubles him when he remembers
the sort of population which lives on the eccle-
siastical property of the collegiate church of St.
Peter, and that within a stone's throw of that
gorgeous ecclesiastical monument there are scenes of
squalor, drunkenness, and misery which rival the
worst phases of East-end life. The difficult ques-
tion of " the poor " we shall have always with
us, still unsolved, when great political struggles may
be overt and we shall find private charity to be but
a drop m the ocean.
