Outdoor Pauperisni.

An article elsewhere tells some
curious facts concerning our system OF
aid to paupers not domiciled at the
at the almshouse, and We have no doubt
that further light could be shed upon ths
system could the Trustees of the Poor bs
persuaded to hold an experience meeting.
II ID manifest at a glance that such a
system is peculiarly opsn to abuse. The
trustees generally are men of high
character, but the influence that man
gains from holding the public purse
strings is likely to subject hun to strong
temptations. A shrewd and interruptions
politician armed with such power might
easily secure for himself among the poor
considerable clientsge, and an impress
sionaple or gullable man might be sys-
Dramatically imposed upon. There is less
danger of such abuse in the country hun
dreds, one would think, than in this city,
but there is little doubt that outdoor
relief ia badly overdone in those hundreds
whose annual poor taxes are less
than the sums spent in the same district
for such charity. In this city only the
keenest scrutiny and the greatest firm.
ness, We should think, could avail to pro-
tect the county funds from impostors.
When 1t is remembered that Council
IN one winter gave nearly a ton and a
halt OF coal to highly respectable woman
who Kept large boarding house. on a
rather pretentious street, one realizes how
easily men entrusted with the distribution
OF public aims may make mistakes.
We think the argument that it ia better
to aid such persons al are partly self
supporting than to place them in the
almshouse and assume their entire kesl,
has considerable force, but it must mo-,
be forgotten that the poor can be better
and more ohesply cared for in the aims
house than outside, the ratio being about
the same as that Of wholesale to retail
prices. The Trustees of the Poor comic
very we'll study this subject of outdoor
relief, and they should inquire how far
the system ia carried in other states. One
OF the resident trustees in this city has
reduced the expenditures for such charity
In his district to very low figure, and it
Ia the duty of his fellow members to
make strict inquiry into the whole
system.
