At the session Ofths American Social Science
Association In New York yesterday, DR.. X bert
T. Davis, of Fall river, Massachusetts, read a
report Oh psuperism In New York, in which he
took the view that soup houses and o.her public
Charities, unless they are judieiously conducted
tend 70 materially increase the pauper element,
According 10 DR.. Roberts, Thousands of laborinz
men were drawn from the neishboriny country
TO New York last winter on finding out that
hey could be supported without labor Thou
sanGs OF mechanics and artisans, also, although
nothard pressed by poverty, were daily fed at
the soup kitchens, aud many young men were
thus injured iTretrieva5ly. Large numbers of
domestic servants and poor working girls re-
fused employment, preferring to be fed and
lodged at the expense of the charitable. The
speaker reached the conclusion that the hest
preventions or pauperism are a thorough and
discriminating supervision Of sll charities, pub
nc and private; the most careful attention to
the education and emplOym mt OF the poor and
tAer ehildreni the placing OF pauper children
IN good families, az distance, if possible, from
degrading associations; a rigid and exact system
OF INDOOR relief, accompanied with labor; the
reduction of outdoor relief in cities, and the en-
eouragement OF emigration to the rural Districts
ron the crowded centeTs Of overly AMI crime
which most Of our largest cities have nov he
come.

only about 5000 had actually been received by

IN such cases prOmptness IL of the utmost
value, and every Dollar ought to be sent for

sufferers will be helped, and at a time. too.
when they most need aid; aud, besife, the dam

overlooked in the hands of local committees
will be very much Iessened.

The New York Commercial Adrsrtfssr fnds
fault With the House for voting to let the report
OF the Commissioner of Agriculture go through
the mails free, and attributes this action TO the
influence OF the Changers, HwhO now have a

which, considering the foundation of anti
monopoly, on which the Oranges were estab-
hshed, shows that they are quite as open to cor

The main consideration which influenced the
House was doubtless the fact that the Ayricul-
tural report Is in far greater demand by the
county than are those of any other of the bu-
reau reports. During the present session, mem
bers have received scores Of letters asking for
copies Of the Agricultural report, and finally
became convinced that the great majority OF
their constituents would Justify them in voting
10 allo" the reports TO 90 through the mails
free- There are many who eg8rd the action Of
the House az an entering wedge to a complies
restoration Of the ranking privilege. This will
net be done this session, however. The present
Congress has established a reputation for tn,
most rigid economy, and a restoration OF the
ranking privilege would be inconsistent with
its record.
