N INDEPENDENCE
Theta is a plethora of rot anent
Canadian national independence iu
iilnit,ed in by publia speakers and
the press of this country. Dlr.

Mr. Mowat 81ys the sa nn, au.! Mr
Ch:tp!a-t'-t coincides with both. Yet
all three and times y others yearn
for or point to the time when Cana-
dians will hive an independent
country to live for or if necessary
to die for.
The Sentinel 12eview say's : "Not
many years ago it required some
courage to speak iu favor of inde-
pendence; now it requires none."
With all dna deference there
never was a time when i't required
any special co:t:•tge on the part of
anYone iu this cuuuty to speak or
write in favor of Canadian inde-
pendence. There were times, and
they may come agaiu,wheu 1t requir-
ed coinage topublicly spe,k Gontra i -
wise.' Canadian independence
assurt'd 8o long as we aro part of th
13ritish empire. Mr. Mowat i
claimed by some of the pseudo in-
depeudente to be the suun losti c.m'1 •
stitut'un•tl autll)rity, and in his
latest put)lio dot -iv: 11100 he says
is

"We love our Sovet igu, and wn
are proud of our status as British

According to Mr. Mowll, and to
the knowledge of ort vv, one of
average intelligence io thn Do nin-
iou, we have alt those.
And yet all is as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbals
Why should the Gid of national
independence be agitating a fac-
tion of our community
Baoaaso numbers of said faction
do not love their Sovereign, do not
want to bo British subjects and do
not want -self-govel•nmout. 1u
hort because they want annexation.
Because they want to merge their
independence with that or the re
publican mob ruled, socialistically
and anarchically depraved cpuntry
to the south of ns,whero they would
not darn to say their souls were
their own.

It is claimed that wo cannot

wo could net Make treaties without

Ivo now possess would be seriously

No State of the Union can, or at

'rhe Dominion can and does pro-
pose such and has had them sanction -

ECONOMIC CTIA l,1 TY.
It appears from the jail statistics
of the county that Iluron pays
about $2,000 a year for the support
of 101110t08, whose only crime is that
they aro poor and aged or aro in-
capable of concentrated aim and
properly directed effort to earn a
livelihood. Many of them could,
on a farm in connection with a
hone° of P.-fcge,end under proper
sopsrvieion, 0010 enough to main-
tain themselves. This they will not
do without being under he conned
and supervision of some ono of
more force of character and mote
practical ideas in regard to the ap-
plication of labor to a remunera-
tive purpose, and the economical use
and ei pendituie of the procoods of
that labor for the pnrposmr of their
own maintenance. If to this "2.000,
which the county now pays for the
support of the indigent aged, and
the vagrants in the county j'lil,
We
add that paid to what aro calls
wards of the county who receive a
direct grant from the county coun-
cil, and those who receive aid front
the 25 sovoi' l township, town and
village municipalities, the shell have
an outlay of $2,500 more. Then it
will not be an extravagant stete-
mont to make if we say that the

the county council in their private

CLOAK and MANTLE-41AK/NO
IIas been a ereat success velt.h us this Fall, not one misfit either in Dresses
or blondes. Our MRS, I,CENNEY bas without doubt proven herself one of
the tastieat and moat stylish dress and mantle makers in the Province. I
would say that NOW. IS THE LADIES' OPPORTUNITY to buy the most,
desirable and stylish ntuf ever brought to this town at prices not heard of
before, and at the same time have garments made up in City Style and at
Moderate Prices. - The Ladies wilt take notice that during this big
moving sale all garments—whether Mantles or Dresses --will be made up 25
per cent. less than our regular prices, There will POSITIVELY BE
NO RESERVE during this great sale, as we must certainly leave the build-
ing. 'TMIE 'PERMS OF THIS SALE ARE SPOT CASH, as we can't sell at
euch a sacrifice and book the Goods. Yonrs truly,
charity, to th rse who would bo bet-
tor iu a lIo:so of It.tfuge, at least
$2,500. 850 private charity by the
collective constituents of each mem,
bet. of the county council is surety
much less th to they actually ex-
pend on the el 184 oofpersons who
would be fit s'(hjects fur the Ilouse
of Refuge. Altogether, then, tak-
ing tho amount paid by tho county
council direct and the amount pail
by ratepeyore in their private capa-
city, we in rotsonably infer that
the tax -payers pay out annually fur
the support of indigents, many of
whom as the have said could earn
enough to support themselves on a
Ilouse of refuge farm, -the large
Bum of $7000. If we aro correct in
our estimate of what it costs the
people of this eouuty foe charitable
purposes, $7,000 per annus) direct-
ly and iudiroctly, it would seem to
be the most economical kind of
amity to build a House of Refuge
and take care of the poor in sys-
tematized manner such as would
prevail in a House of that kind :
The County of Elgin has a House
of Refuge which last year eoutain•
ed 73 inmates, their total eepeuso
during the year was $1,625,. an
average expense per week for each
poleou of $1.10, malting $57,20 for
each person per year. Tho lit'ysi-
cian gets $200 per annum; the in•
specter $125; keeper and matron
1550; hired help $111.16; total fur
officers and help $996. The pro-
duce of the farm was dming the
year $836; this deducted, from
$ 1,525 leaves $3,750—being the
total cost of maintenance to the
county. Their noose of It "uoo
oust thurtl $S,414- and 50 acres of
land cost them $3,000, Tho Coun-
ty of Elgin would be a fair cum•
prison to take for what it would
cost the Connty of i10 u11, as ave
are sepposod t.0 have nl,•eit 70 or SO
who 011 ht to be in a Mouse Of Re-
fuge, and if these figuies a80 corrt'ct
the County of lluton is paying
over $'1,000 more ender our ptm•sent
83.inin than we would he callers up-
on to pay if wo had a Iluu3e of Pe
fego.
The above calculations, however,
do not include inteiest aud sinking
fond on outlay sur faint and build-
ings. If tht,Count.v spends $20,000
for this purpose the Government
will provide $-1,000 of that sum,
leaving tho $10,000 for the county
to provide. Now that sum could
bo burw wed for a longterm ata rate
of itatoo81 including sinking- fund
not to exceed seven per cent. Sup-
posing this crude calculation to bo
correct then the county would have
a further annual charge to pay of
$1,120 but would leave the farm
and builtlings at the expiry of the
term the net property of the
county. Deducting this $1,120
from tbo $3.000 wo would
havo under a systematized Ilouse of
Refuge as compared with the exist-
ing happy•go lucky treatment and
provision fur the indigent of the
county, an annual not saving tothe
county of $1,880.
Tho rough estimate given hero
will bo found in the main correct,
nd it is the duty of every reeve and
deputy reeve to figure out for him-
self whether the care of theee whom
our Savior said, "yo have always
with you" 11bould not be provided
for'in this most econonlie,alelennaqui•-
tarian, and chri8tian manner.
At the last January meeting of
the County Council, oue of the
most intelligent township reeves in
referring to statements in this paper
in a previous issue, slid he was per-
son -illy in favor of the scheme but
ho date out come out in favor of it
ss it would cost him spat. This
is a mistake.
The farming. community of thin
county havo as kirully feelings
towards their unfortunate pour fol-
low batugs a8 any other class. But
an i08:1n0 jealousy has boon fanned
between the townships and the
towns and villages on the aoaump•
tion that the latter want "to beat"
the townships. Lot toa'u8hip aspir-
ants, reeves and deputies, poet then
solves in the practical as well as
humanitarian aspects of tho pro•
position for a County Ilouse of Hee
fugo, and present the case before
their follow ratepayers fairly and
thele is uot one of 8110111 11110 would
uot be elected to carry out the
scheme.
Trot our 000013' readers talk this
matter up nlnoug themselves, and
when uumivation day conies let
them eek fur the views of 1140 enrich
dates on it nod support only these
who will pledge themselves to a
scheme founded on the teashiugs of
Christ as well as upon the sat lug of
(foliate and ceets to every inditidu-
el ratepayer, and most of all a sav-
ing le re:•idtnits of tutvn,ltips.
