RELIEVING TIE DESTITUTE.

The Now-York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor has issued its thlrty-s'X'h
annual report. 1t shows that the amount OF suffer-
ing from want has been greatly essened by the ln-
creased prosperity of the community. In New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan Wisconsin,
and Rhode Island paup rism has begun to decline
since the hard Winters Of 1876 and 1877. The cost
Of relieving the poor has apparently reached It's
maximum and Is decreasing IN most states: MaS-
sacbusetts is still the most afflicted in regard to the
number and cost of her public poor III proportion
TO the whole populations; tier only Val III tnls un
ber of families relieved in this city during the year
was about 5000, many OF them twice. The amount
of relief afforded was S2l.tg1, OF an average oi
about 81 for each family. The report saws that
these figures contradict the exaggerated statements
made every Winter about the vast multitude OF
persons WHO are IN want in the metropolis, and
nrnve that the usual number OF the destitute is not
alarmingly great Much space is devoted III the
report TO improvements in the homes of the poor.
