The number Of those whose incomes are fixed
is small most investments In stocks bring ia
fluctuating dividends real estate by reason of
taxes and insurance may become burden; and
those who little while ago thought themselves
safe from any pecuniary annoyance, discover
that they are poor. We are not sure that this
ANNOYANCE is not tho sharpest with those who
endure and make no sign. 1t is the poor man
who is obliged to keep up show of respecta-
bility who suffers the most severely, and this
feeling, within certain limits to be encouraged,
which ut last will bring back the Good Times; ;
for the world is kept moving by those who, when
they are down, will refuse to stay down, ana
who have within themselves what Burke calls
ga living, salient spring of action" Pauper-
ism is mainly painful because it seems to sig
pify srIrrender-the battle of life, fought well
or otherwise, irretrieyably lost, and ali power
of sef-help gOno forever! What poor man
of uriperyerted nature really wants is work
what poor man Of nature never so
much perverted wants is to be set to
work. no matter how small his stomach
NAV be for labor. Petition for employment is
the only toerablc and wholesome beggary.
What, with all our public kitchens, aims
houses, free hospitals, asylums. we ought to
guard against, is tho idea that these are or
can be other than objects of necessity, de-
signed to temper the austeritics of fortune, to
give temporary relief to improydence, to help
men to help themselves Tho poor we shall
always have with us; but this need not extin-
guish the robust feeling against poverty which
every self-respccting person will entertain. 1t
is a real misfortune for any one to be forced
TO beg for food and shelter; and no matter
how kindly disposed the public may be, or
how willing to relieve even sclf-lnfilcted dis
tress, the morality OF industry and the immo-
rllily of idlcness should be- kept constantly in
view.
II would be too hard to say one word
against charity in times like these; and we do
not mean to say if. Something we owe to
ourselves, especially the recollection that
Heaven loves the cheerful giycr; and even
careless giving is n pleasing form OF self
indulgence. But great, permanent pu0hc
system of giving is another matter. y com
muni,y Ike ours must relieve the poor, partly
because it is "a Christian community, and partly
because the constant presence OF distress would
be ntolerable; but the nearer we can keep to
the rule that those who can work and will not
work, when work is provided, shall not eat,
the less likely We shall be to have chronic
paupcrism To contend with in the future. The
truth il, the American people, having never
had any occasion to study and investigate this
subject, possess 10 fixed ideas about it, while
in every other country melancholy necessity
has reduced il to something like a science.
Sooner or later, we shall be compelled to do
the same thing, and now Il a good time to
give the problem little thought.

canals whose work has been so well and so
thoroughly performed.
This would be practical step. In the phrase
of the street it would "mean business" and
would be so understood by all concerned.
Much of course would depend upon the char
acter of the men selected to act on such q
Commission, and we have yet no intimation
who they are to be, or how or by whom ap-
pointed; but we take it for granted that the
party in power would not commit the blunder
of making the investigation a farce by ap-
pointing any but men of the highest character,
in whom people of all parties would have the
most implicit confidence. 1t would not do,
after entering the lists with Gov. Tildcn in the
race for Reform, to set on foot an investiga-
ton which should be less searching and ngOr-
Gus, or less practical i'll its results, than the
Canal investigation with which he Is
credited. Important as was the work OF the
Canal Commission, the pending inquiry Is
much more important. 1t involves not only
the economic features of our prison admins
tration, but the moral influence, the tendency
and effect of the whole system. The relation
of society to It's criminal classes is a subject
which has long occupied the attention of stu
dents of social science. The legislator of the
period hardly considers it problem, but amid
the duties of legslating for Individuals and
corporations treats it only as incidental and
unimportant. 1t should not be treated super
ficialy IN the proposed investigation, but ex-
amined and discussed with something like the
seriousness and thoroughness its importance de-
mands This we hope is the end the Legisla-
tire has in view. To accomplish it the WORK
must be ntrusted to honest and able hands
and no other.

There is great deal of just complaint now
adays that children in public and private
schools are cIammed with facts. without any
order or sequence, and certainly without any
attempt to develop the reasoning powers oI
their brains. They are required TO bolt each
day Il certain number of mlcs. grammatical or
mathcmaticai or oi the names of rivers in
Asia or the population of towns in Iacatan.
As for any practical hearing which these odd
ricts can have on their daily life they know
nothing of it, when, on the contrary, they
are set to write "thcmcs' or " compositions
almost invariably abstract topics are given
t.cm-pUrc.y imaginative or Phi!otophic sub
icct., which require unlimited data and long
experience to treat even ntc.hgcntly. lho
most Of these subjects are hdckncycd be-
yond Use. How many grown mcH or women
could wIitc an essay on Virtue, or Liberty
or the 1riumphs OF Gciius that should com
tain one fresh thought or. turn OF expression
that was not II shameless piattude! Yet It i
lust such themes chat girls and boys pore over
weekly, striving to drag from their unde-
vclopcd brains and their experience of The ball
or croduot ground OF thc classroom some new
reflections on the great ideas that have ruled
mankind. Variations of precisely such topics
a. these the Undergraduate selects To rcealc
his hearers on commencement days. There was
even in the recent intercollegiate contest 1t
noticeable effort on the part of the young
essayists to grasp the most practical subject IN
a gcncralizing, philosOphc, or poctical fashion,
which would impress any nearer rs unreal Il
not false.
We shall be told by teachers that this pro-
ucnsity is due to the crudity OF the boy 5

SOUP IN BOSTON.

l. DauDciism everywhere only a question Of
time Already the authorities of Boston,
usually considered toleraDly cll-tO-d0-placc,
have begun to ladle out relief The hungry
seek the municipal kitchens with pals,
pitchers, jars; and they carry away their "a
tons of potage-bcef, veal, or mutton soup,
with chowdcr of fish on Fridays. Besides this
outdoor relief, there are half dozen aims
houses of one kind or anOthcr-the soup is for
those who are ont of work and too proud to
go upon the town regularly. They are still
hopeful Business may loo better in the Spring.
Meanwhile they must live, and the city soup
is good. There are many well read political
economists in Boston who know that this sort
of relief is as dcmoralizing rs possible in Its
influences, but they will withhold all protest
rather than incur the imputation of hard
hcartedncss. A good heart usually oyermas-
tcrs the longest head. All bcGgars and tramps
understand this and trade upon it. They have
not overestimated the impossbllity of saying
"No.r The worst Of pinchiDg times Is that
they break down the old-fashioned American
pride and self-rcspect, which were once among
the best fruits of our democratic institutions
Men who are not old can remember when
there was hardly any beggary III all the coun-
try; and now, in some parts, they are actually
holding conventions to decide what shall be
done with tramps. At this rate we shall pres
emily need some Count RumfOrd to devise
a policy by which pauperism may be abated.
Unquestionably the times are hard. The
rainy day has come, against which We have
laid by little men of small incomes have
lived as if they were large; men of large in
comes as if they were much larger; laGorcrs,
skilled or otherwise, as If wages could reycr
fall or cease; capitalists, upon their capital;
while the fall in prices is of small advantage
| to those who have no money to buy with.
