In # certain book, which some men read and all Christendom swears by, the assertion is made that itis more blessed to give than to receive, And to this Thomas Aqui n- nas gives his rapturous approval, adding that ‘a benevolent man is sboveall others wise and good.” In the light of these statements with what rov- erence does one reflect upon the ineffable wis- dom and biessedness of those official luminaries who constitute the Board of Commissioners of Cook County! They are the greatest almoners in this neighporhood; for do they not set apart many - thousands of dollars each year fot the support of the poor and suffering? It is tras that the money thus appropriated is t2kon from the pockets of the tax-payers. It 1s true that the honorable members of the Board do not squander their hard-earned private for- tunes for the sske of charity. It ia true that they even draw salaries for the discharge of their onerons duties as committee-men. Such drawbacks as these, weaver, art trifling. The grand fect looms up in the mind that the Board of Commissioners are pub- lic nlmoners, distributing of their abundance ta - the needy and disabled, without reference to age or sex. . e Of course itis not tobe expacted that thess gentlemen can pursue their noble carcer without being subjected to sisnder and abuse. There arecaptious aad quibbling individuals who will find fault with everything. Even © ‘THE MANAGEMENT OF TUE POOR-I0USE is Hable to be criticieed. There are, doubtless, ungrateful panpers in that institution who are ready to make complaints and decry the quality ef the food which is farnished them. ‘Chen, agein, there may be paupers who, if they have.» latent spark af independ- ence left in their wretched souls, might object to being knocked down and kicked for simply begging s little tobacco from an official. But then the opinions of apsuper are unim- portant, The Board of Commissioners, or even its Committee on Public Charities, have nothing to go with little affairs like that. The official might have been & little hesty in thus treat- ing one of the inmates; and if, by sny startling combination of chances, nows of his indiscretion should come to the ears of the Board, the Board would doubtless refer tne mat- tor to the Committee on Public Charities, who in time might communicate with the Warden of the Poor-House, who might insdJentally mention it to his assistent, who might jokingly refor to it some afternoon while clinking beer-glasses ina Jefferson salocn wits the official, merely to accent their joint hilarity. Occasionally complaints of ill-treatment like above willcreep out, and many find thelr way into a newspaper office. Buch has been the csse Istely. Various rumors have existed in ro~ gard to the bed management of the Poor-House, and it was thought that they were worthy of in- vestigation, BUY, HOW INVESTIGATE ? It is plain enongh that s formal visit to the insti. tution would be of no avail, since it is for the manifest interest of the authorities that their misrule should not be exposed. Such a visit would be as barren of results ss is the regular auruozt visit of the Board of Commissioners. There wag one method of getting at some of the true facts, and that method was for a representative of tho preas to disguise himself in rags, snd gain ad- mittance to the Poor-Housze as an inmate. Such a course was pursued. A Tarsuxe reporter becamo forthe time being = pauper,—ate, drank, and slept among paupers. His experience is here- with narrated. It only remains to preface thas
