With reference to the question of 4a Poor House which is likely to be an issue in the next election for the County Commissionershnp, the CHRO. - some is not in a position to speak with authority, not having consid- ered the subject in its various as- pects. nor in fact thorougly from any particular standpoint. That there are poor in our midst is an undeni- able fact, that in a ChriStian com- munity these poor people, who either through misfortune or improvidence, «can n0t be allowed to starve is equal- ly patent to all, and that other counties are taking up the question, and by their vote authorizing the caretaking of the pauper class at the eatpense of the counties, is known to be growing in public favor. 9mm: - Own 80m, 1!“:ko t.

OFFICEâ€"McIntyre Block, (Over the Bank) If then popular sentiment and Christian charity favor the establish- ment of such institutions in other places, there seems no good reason- able excuse why the poor of the County of Grey should not be equal- ly well provided for, instead of being .allowed to beg from door to door, or ratarve on the miserable pittance al- lowed them by municipal councils and public charity, granted at the expense of only a few, and perhaps that few the least able, but fortun- ately for the sufferer the moat chari- table portion of the community. There will no doubt be opposition 'to the promulgation of the scheme. Asmrants foncounty honors will not wish to push anything likely to in- crease public expenditure, and will in all probability be reticent on the question, unless supported strongly by popular Opinion expressed in a plebiscite of the county. Objection may be urged on the plea‘ that the establishment of such an in- stitution would put a premium on pau- perism. create feigned poverty, fos- ter idleness, and cause an influx of' the poorer class into counties where such institutions exist, and great vigilance would be required to guard against those who undeservingly seek support. Hanging round every town and village in the country, may be found able bodied suckers. who have sun]: so low in the scale of moral de- gradation, that they would eat the widow’s meal or accept public charity of any kind rather than do an honest day’s work. Such human parasites, sure graduating classes for the poor- house, or the hangman’s noose, de- serve no sympathy from public or priVate sources, and the sooner the evil can be eradicated and the "bum- mers” osrracised from society. the better it will be for the commu- nity at large. â€" there should be no spare compartments in the Poor- house for such gentry. But to those whose only crimes are poverty and infirmity. it seems harsh in the ex- treme. to huddle them in jail with all kinds of criminals. Intelligent discussion on the subject would be in Order now. Lord Minto, the new Governor General arrived at Quebec on Satur- day last where he was met by Lord Aberdeen, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and half-a-dozen Federal Ministers who escorted him to the Parliament Build- ings where he was formally installed in ofiice and cordially welcomed by the retiring Governor. This is only the beginning of a long list of cere- monies in store for the new repre- Dentative in Canada of Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria. After the address of welcome was read and the installation ceremony ended Lord Minto, made a pleasing address expressive of his previous visit to Quebec, the beautiful scenery its historic character, the peaceful prosperous condition of the country, and concluded with the hope that he THE CHRONICLE. w.

Mr. Thompson leaves this week to prepare for the removal of his family. The Editor of the Flesherton Ad- vance is determined not to take second place with his rival philatelists and last week had the pleasure of adding another precicus piece to his collec- tion of postage stamps. In June last the Editor erte the Postmaster General of British Central Africa asking if he could secure for him a stamp of a Special issue, now out of use. and on Monday week received a letter with the coveted little piece within. The postage on the letter was prepaid by a shilling stamp and it took it two months and seven days to reach here. ' Archie McIntyre, who recently tumbled into the cut at the Horse Shoe hill and slightly damaged his buggy has been allowing Lawyer Lamon, of Dundalk, to fill his head with all kinds of dreams about a bag of gold underneath the Artemesia Council table and he’s been trying a game of scare on the guardians that he might get his paw into the yellow dust. $1,000 damages is what Archie wants and threatens to sue for it if not settled with the modest little sum of 33:30 cash down in a week’s time. But our doughty councillors don’t scare and on Saturday last re- solved to do only what had been ipreviously ofieredâ€"-repairing the buggy which would not cost much. Councillors Mc’l‘avish and Tompson were commissioned to convey this ldecision to Mr. McIntyre.
