Tan HouseofRefuge looms np again in Huron County as the vote of the people is to be reoorded on Jannary let as to whether this humane and charitable inatitution should not be erected in the County. Publio aentiment in its favor is rapidly inoreaeiug and it will continue to do so more quickly as the expense of keeping county wards increases with the speed it is doing. In 1880 Huron Co. bad only two wards at an annual outlay of $180, now there are 37 coating the Go. $3,174, an increase of nearly 83,000 in seven years. 1894 bide fair to out do any previous year and the probabilities are Huron ratepayers will be paying 94,500, representing 50 wards at $90.00 per an- num, next year. This large outlay would run a House of Refuge in first. olaas style to ;say nothing about the snores of others, now supported by the municipalities, who would be much better oared for ata public institution. There used to be a cry raised at the County Council that a House of Refuge would be of benefit to the towns and villages only, but the way the Reeves of rural municipalities are hustling wards on the County pay roll leaves little excuse for mention of this objeotion. Lest January Huron Co. gave a majority of 1,285 in favor of this charitable in• stitntion. Four municipalities did not vote on the question, viz :—Howiok, Wroxeter, Morris and MoKillop, owing to eleotions by aoolamation, hence the necessity of another vote on Jannary let. A. big rally should be made, as on eoono. min groands alone if for no other reason it would save many hundreds of dollars. Inspector of Prisons' Chamberlain has given instructions to Perth Co. author. itiee that the vagrants in jail there must get better food, wear different clothes from the garb in which prisoners are at. tired and must have tables to eat their meals at. In short the jails will have to be converted into Houses of Refuge until the eleotore see the folly of bearing the burden of jail expenses instead of the Province on account of making said jails the home of the poor and the neglected. The sentimental idea of poor people being disgraced by being sent to a House of Refuge is not to be compared with the shame arising from incarceration in jail with hardened criminals for no other reason than their poverty. In Goderich jail at the present there are six persons incarcerated as vagrants whose ages are respectively 60, 68, 70, 78, 84 and 90 years. One of these is an old woman, the youngest a man totally blind, the oldest a feeble man whose trembling limbs can scarce support him, even with the aid of a stick. Grey.. v.
