Mr. County Clerk Farewell favors us this week, by mail, with reports of the County Council on each occasion When the question of a House of Refuge bas been considered by that body. The clerk's letter winds up with some very statesmnanlike suggestions. He says that a good deai of time and money bas been spent by the county council on this ques- tion, in obtaining and cousidering infor- mation secured by sending a spxcîa1 deputation to other counties where Houses of Refuge had been established, and be trusts a full vote wil be recqrded on the question. Of ail the municipalities in the county the township of Raina alone bas re- fused to takre a vote on the question. Mr. Fqaeweil makes one suggestion which deserves specialpromiieiice in the miincis of ratepayers. 1-t is to vote for or against the House of Refuge irrespective of the views he?d by any candidate f.or municipal honors. Let it be understood throughout the county that, no matter what candidates are elected, tbey wili carry into execution the wishes of the peopie in this matter. The.retiring reeves should announce at the nominations in al places that a vote is to be taken on the question, for and against, and if there is to be no election let a show of bands be taken. And whiie it is desirable that this q uestian of a House of Refuge should be voted upon independetitly, and that the candidatures of men should flot be mixed wvith it, it should flot be supposed that the candidates may not discuss thé~ question, for it will be a valuable aid to votera to hear the opinions of the men who are notninated to do their municipal business. This qu*ýstion of a House of Refuge is one of vat importance, and it ia to be hoped the ratepayers of the count>' wil full), realize this before voting on Jan. 4h. It means a matter of about $7.,ooo added Io the cou nty burdens during the next twenty years, that is, $75,000 more than it would cost to keel> the poor at the present rate. There need be no doubt but there will he pour people found to fil a poor house if one is built. They wiil move into the couty, and wiii be sbipped into the coutitv from ail directions as soon as a conifortable and weli suppiied home L'5 j>j.ie or thetn. 1rhe rearinîý yç,tai o offi itroniip itt ȃ t mldst9' rlfI -stronger.- It ~ pesïïm andâ tnearly every n , dievelopef ict6 a refurm, e_ *t las been heard during tbe year thant.ffiblic business- iras neglected.

While the management, of finance la his strong point, he bas made himsecf familier at al times with the. work of commit- tees, and scarcely- once during the year did a rep ort corne in witbout bis fulli know- ledge ofits contents. Unwiliing to stand for the position last year untîl pressed, he is more so now. But.We trust he may at leat accept a noffiination for anotherý year.
