The residents have been in distress all this time, they being unable to obtain water enough for cooking, much lesss for washing and other household purposes. Hoping that you will be the means of giving us relief, we remain A SUFFERING COMMUNITY. ““The Poor We Have With Us.” Editor Star:—I have observed with pleasure that THE Srar is always ready to co-operate with any feasible measure which may be pro- in behalf of the helpless poor of this Dis- It is with this assurance that I venture to it a favorite idea of iy own upon this subject. During the wai ir thousands of colored people flocked to this city, where, at the time, the gen- era] government had made tem} rovision for their support. Following the suspension of the Freedmen’s Bureau it so chanced that. the District Board of Public Works was In a condi- Uon to afford employment to a large number of these laborers. Upon the ‘suspension of this in- stitution, however, these men and their families Were lett in a condition of poverty and wretch- eduess never before witnessed, perhaps, in this country. Throngs of beggars, com} irgely of women and children, are to be seen in every | Street, ringing door-bells and imploring assis- ance, and hundreds die every year from diseases incident to exposure and want. This wide- spread indigence is not properly an American institution, for in “a land of plenty,” where millions of broad acres still slumber'in their Primeval verdure, it 1s difficult to percelve why able-bodied poverty should be allowed to exist. With this view of the subject, I prepared some {ime since a memorial praying for the adoption by the general government of such a measure as would enable these helpless freedmen to locate as farmers and grazlers upon our public jands in the far west. This memorial was in- troduced into both branches of Congress through the instrumentality of “The Western Emizra- ton Society,” an ree ution composed. (with the exception of myself) of colored inen living in this city. ‘The memorial set forth, in detati, a oe by which the money thus advanced could disbursed by a government officer, and by which every dollar thereof, secured. by mort- sage upon the land, could be refunded fa a tain term of years It has been said by some that, Congress, even it so disposed, would not be justified by precedent or authority in adopting a measure of this character. ‘In answer to this, 1 contend that, Congress has as much right, to expend mone in this way asin the support of poor-houses, soup-houses and similar institutions, which not | ouiy afford an impermanent relief, but are sad- ly degrading in their influence upon those forced to accept this ectes of charit; these freedmen (especially those in th ke the Indian, a sort 'y i non- descript relation to the general government— except that unlike the Indians they have spe their life-long labors in developing the nati ces, and that the government Is resp) or their present condition, in allowing them to be deprived of the fruits of their toil, and in casting them adrift, penniless and ignorg a community where many of the a honest toil. by reason of prejud: against them. id by some, that, these that they would vith the country people do not ** go wes even if This tsa matter which the adop: of the plan proposed would ttself soon setti Once offer to these people a fair chance to be ter thelr condition, and if the opportunity thus afforded is taken advantage of, then the govern- ment will be relieved from ‘their support as baupers and at the same Ume profit by their | evelopment of the country as hushandmen. On the other hand, if this opportunity shouid be rejected, the government would in future be justified in withholding its assistance, and the people of this community would have zood reason for driving mendicants from their doors as unworthy of charitabie consideration.
