Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher Looks to the
Middle Glass for Help.


How can poverty be abolished? That is a
question that has Deen before the world for
ages, but still remains unanswered. II the
causes which subject people to this affiiction
could be abolished the work could easily be &C
comphshed. But how is this to be done? The
causes which bring poverty are innumerable
and usually distinctly different Those who
count their money BY millions are responsible
for some Of the saddest cases Of poverty They
have never known or practiced economy In any
form, never denied themselves any qualification
that money could procure and, consequently, we
know their children must be as helpless as the
parents. In such cases II their wealth should
suddenly be swept away, how could they or
their children encounter povertyf Therefore,
IL is plainly not such as these to whom we can
look 10 abolish poverty.
Nor are those who have never known plenty
or anything but the absolute necessities of life
who are uncultivated, coarA, dissipated, the
class TO lend a helping hand The little they man
age TO earn they don't understand how to use to-
ward making their miserable homes little more
comfortable or to lift their children little way
out of this degradation. No. 1t is not from those
who have inherited poverty that we can look for
help 10 abolish it.
Such redemption must come through the ef.
forts OF the rich, or rather perhaps from those
who have neither poverty nor riches. If those
who have an abundance Of this worlds goods,
instead OF lDuQlBlng IN lavish expenditure,
would, from their love for their children,
teach them the true value OF money and the
proper use OF it, they would be prepared, if mis-
fortune came, TO meet and conquer poverty by
the courage and intelligence which their educa
tion and intellectual advantages gave them.
But II they have neglected thus to train their
children, and are themselves equally ignorant,
what can they do If adversely overtakes themf
They will not know, even as well as those who
have always been poor, how to take care OF
themselves, and therefore they cannot help to
abolish poverty.
Who can? II any, it must be the work Of
those usually called the middle classes, Who
without abundant wealth, have always enjoyed
a comfortable living. All through their lives they
have felt it no humiliation to take care of their
income and to be careful in their expenditures
contriving how to secure the greatest comfort
from whatever money they find it necessary to
expend So If misfortune comes upon them
they will not allow themselves TO despair, but
boldly face the evil. and by untiring energy and
perseverance they will conquer in time and may
reasonably hope to regain their former posi-
ton
This class win do more by their example to-
wards abolishing poverty than can be done by
the most active societies, by committees, reso-
lutions or exhortations-but will 1t ever be ac-
complished?

John W. Foster, and matters relating TO
the international monetary conference.
Throughout the day the president gave no
indication whatever, of disappointment or
chagrin at the result Of election. He was
undoubtedly the caime>t person in the
house and observed hi, customary routine
As though nothing unusual had happened.
As one of his friends expressed it. Iii he is
defeated he will lay down cares OF official
life without least person regret and seek
the more concenial seclusion of private
life with undi>quised satisfaction Al
though the president retired at i.:10 this
morning. the telegraph Office in the White
House was KEEP, open until nearly four
o'clock. Several newspaper men applied
at the White House this morning for an
expression OF opinion by the President. but
were met by acting private secretary Tib-
belt with the remark that the President
will certainly not talk about the election
until il is decided, and doubt very much
ii he will say anything about it then for
publication.
