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.

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.
