crumbs of comfort of the Democrats
and these can be briefly mentioned.

state leader was beaten in his sena-
torial fight in Bridgeport.

PAUPER STATISTICS.
Total of 163,176 People in Poorhouses
of the Country.

Some interesting figures are pub
lished by the government showing the
number of persons in the almshouses
of the country.
Since the figures deal only with
paupers, in almshouses, and not with
all the dependent poor, they reflect
the influence of the laws governing
poor relief, the almshouse facilities
afforded, and the methods of aims
house administration, than the extent
of pauperism, is the report that comes
from Washington.
At the close of 1904 there were in
almshouses of the United States 163.-
17f persons, 77,S17 males and $3.50
females. The number of paupers emu
merated in 1880 was 66,203 and in
1890, 73,045. The increase has not
kept pace with the growth of popula-
ton, and therefore the ratio OF aims
house paupers to population is de-
creasing. In 1880, this ratio was 1872
per 100000, in 1890 it was 1866, and
in 1903 it was 1914.
The government reports find that
part of this decrease is due to
change in treatment of the mentah
ly and physically defective, who in
former times were sent to poorhouses,
but are now cared for in asylums and
hospitals, and a part to the Develop
ment of nationally organized charity,
which strives to make the poor self
supporting and to place destitute chill
dren in families and not in poor
houses.
The figures show that almshouse
paupersm is decreasing more rapidly
among females than among the males.
The chief distinction between the
sexes seems to he that females having
once entered a poorhouse are there
for good, while men, to n large ex-
tent, are merely winter boarders.
