It hba been twjqe votcd on and rather badly defeated by the ratepayets of te county. No specifieti achemne was laid before tlaem, and hundreds of blank .ballots were mat, the votera feeling the responsibility resting on t(iem as bclng o great ta v!ble In the dark ecUber onre *ay or the other. The cuuntv council cannat, tht-re- fore, vef y wilh take action towards establish- ing such an institution until sucb ture as a cleariy deined scbeme lis been laid before the people anid endorsed by a vote. This cat flot very well be braught about inside of twa years, as the present caunty council la ele-cted for that teri, and could flot very well bring on an election in Januar-y, 1898, as there would lie no couits cousicil election at that tume. Froni this it wouhd stem as ;f the house ai refuge questiaon has several vears yet t ataiure. Of coturse un the niean- tinte the caunty counicil might have a coi- milltet- working twa ',ears ta perfect a scheme for submission ta the cleciors, but evEn suppose it were carried it Ytould rneaun ive year's delay bt-fore any relit-I in this di- rection could be given ta tihe poor. Thiat ait%, legisiative body shouid have a measure iu hand and be unable ta accomiplish any- thing in less than four or five years is a striking commentai-y on ts uselessîreas to perform public funcîmous. A caunty counicil has flot ruuclu discretion ai-y poaters, but parliament has left it three valuable fonctions to perforni :uhe rmakîing otf good leadîng ronds, the special care ut the poor, and the assistag oi public librar- ses, good roads, good treatîcrti the îî<.îr, lrite su-t-ad of knowledge. The ct-uni i councilor atho goes ta the counicil otaox-sed ta doing thuese things se Slmply a ineg tive quantitv, a hindrance ta progress. We quite agree with Mr- Calder thuat local mWuni- cîpalîlies t-an best look aller the roads but trie trouble arises from the tact that they dont do so, Every outgoing reeve and dep. uty wants ta show that he has ieduced the taxes thet housandth part of a mnill. To do this they vote against ail public works ai .îny importance, bath at the local and cou-nty t-îuncih. Their firsî thought la not what tht-y ought to do t-r what the public service demantis, but wbat wilI the tax howlei-s ai their municipalities say? They admit the thing la right, but their niggai-dly constit- ueutti daofot care for right, lbey say. The cry la ta redluce taxes, no matter hoat. Tiiere shauid lic a big itupravenuent in tht-se resptects in the new cou-unty .ouncil. Ment seeking ta become members atili have L-rger districts ta appeal toansd atih able ta take atiter grounti. The man who dors tual go la the cou uciltot hetp education, the poor andi the i-astis, had better nat get in the place where a useful man atoulti make lis mark there. If we secure a sufficiency of rubî.c lhhiaries, zaod raads and a hou-ze ai refuge as the rt-suIt of the new county counîy counicil, the- good efiecîs ai it uili hast a hun- dreti years. GoUeglat.
