The big French scandal over the
Panama Canal swindle is the biggist
,- thing of the kind on earth. • Everybody
seems to have bribed members of the
government, deputies, newspapers. It
is a repetition on a colossal scale of
what the Canadian Grits did a few.`
years ago.
The price of wheat is very low in
Canada, yet millers in some sections
aro importing American `wheat to grind.
Even though they *Ind it in bond,
they must be able to buy similar grades
of American wheat cheaper than Can-
adian, else they would not put them-
selves to the additional cost of freight
and bonding.
Mrs. Besant,the clever English writer,
• is a crank on religion.- She does not
believe in Christianity. She gets off
The following trl•.twkish seneiment : "I
felt a resentment towards a God who
allowed my babe to suffer agony in
illness." She evidently thinks the
Creator should look upon her child as
the only one in the whole world.
The discredited ex -Premier of Quebec,
Mr. Mercier, is the bosom friend of Mr.
Laurier, the Grit leader. Mr. Mercier
is now out flat-footed in favor
of , annexation. ' Mr. Laurier has
condoned all Mercier's former
offices, but this last one will
warm the very cockles of the Grit
Premier's heart.
The wheat growers of the States
want legislation against the specu-
lators who depress the price of wheat
until it gets out of the hands of the
farmers. One Congressman said: The
-wheat raisers feel they are working
at a loss. They find the prices of wheat
going lower and lower, and they can-
not free themselves from the shackles
of the speculators. -
Mr. N. Clark Wallace is looking for
the starving farmers. He says that
he has been pretty well over his consti-
tuency and 16,d: eveiy'reason tb feel;
confident of success. tie says that Mr.
T. W. Russell, M. P.i was much sur-
prised at the prosperous condition of
the farmers of York hnd Vaughan
townships, having been told by Prof,
Goldwin Smith that they were all star-
ving.
Timothy Harrington, Irish M. P., re-
ferring to exposure of scandalous in-
timidation in elections by Irish priests,
, says : "It is the solorun duty of the
hierarchy to alter the condu t of 0. e
priests. It is a . pitiable spectacle to
see holy religion dragged in the mud
to uphold the biggest set 'of political
and moral scoundrels the world has
ever seen." When a Catholic, public
man speaks thus plainly a very deplor-
able state of affairs must exist.
The United States raised farm pro-
ducts last year of the value of $4,500,-
' 030,000, of which they exported $793,-
717,676. Curious how some Canadians
will blather of the great American mar-
ket for Canadian farm produce in the
faee of an export surplus ever There of
over seven hundred million of dollars
worth in one year. They exported
394,607 head of live cattle and 220,500,-
000 lbs of dressed beef. And the chief
market for all this is Great Britain
which as a consequence is the best
market for similar Canadian products.
Mr. 'I. W. Russell, M. P. for South
Tyrone, arrived at Ottawa last week
from Toronto. In an interview he said
among other things, the following:—
"There is one thing which strikes me
as strange, however, and that is the
Manitoba separate school question. .I
understand that the bill abolishing
separate schools in that province was
upheld by the privy council as being
constitutional, and now the Roman
Catholics will appeal to the Dominion
go ernment for a rearrangement of the
maer. That is just what under home
- "rule the Roman Catholics of Ireland
would not allow. Ulster would have no
voice in the imperial parliament in such
matters. This educational question is
a live issue in Ireland yet, and the
struggle is going on in this country and
in the United States is stilloing on
'with us. If you propose to put Protes-
tant Ontario or Manitoba under the
Dominion of Catholic Quebec it is just
exactly what the home rule party
would be doing with Ulster if the home
rule bill carried. As for the Irish
farmer, I cannot see that the law,
unless it made him a present of the
land, could give him any more than he
now enjoys. I visited the rural dis-
tricts in the county of York, and was
surprised at the fine buildings and other
evidences of prosperity. While I
•understood that the farms of that sec-
tion were very free from mortgages,
het it seetns to me that the mortgagee
In Ontario fully supplies the absence of
landlordism. His power is much
greater. Toronto I consider one of the
finest cities I have ever visited; its edu-
catienal system is extraordinarily
good."

REASONS FOR A HOUSE OF
REFU('E.
CLAIMS F011 ITS CONSIDERATION.
The fallowing facts whioh have been pre-
"'jiarei•iii"ee leedaooe with the resolution pass-
ld et the meeting held est Clinton cm Fri-
day, Deo, 2rr 1892, are intended to show
that the i'rb,nent system (if oaring for the
indigents of the bounty is wasteful, extras,
gent, inefficient,' an i that .the eetahliah-
meet of a House of Refuge with from thirty
o fifty acres of land attached, has become
an enlightened ne eeaeity, avers on tee low
ground of mere economy.
1. An average) of eight vagraute are con-
fined in the county goal letr.n average
aunualtie euee to tbo comity of $1,200 or
$150 each.
2. Tho county hes in additi•,n eight•
sen wards maintained out of county
hods and coetiog annually $1,574 or about
$88,00 each. t
3. In .additibn, each of the twen.y
five townships, town" and vi lege° whioh
ineke up the ouunty, annually emend !tree
seam fur the relief of the poor, a awn consid-
erably in excites , of that expended' by the
ouunty. •
4. D,ioeuoy, if nothing vie••, requires that
we ah.•uld and must make provision for
the very poor. Sill standing upon the low
eat ground of There eeouonty (for we were
loot api.o.nted to preach a oilmen) we Bay
that the County Home onn be established
pheaply.and easily, end, once established,
0183 11 would enable our poor people requir-
ing public aid tui be properly oared for .to a
p(aoe and way where every penny expended
for them would tell,
S. A number of Houses of Refuge have
b.ru Uetanli*bed already, end more soon will
be, no doubt, biome the Provincial- Gevern
,Meat ie now authorized by statute to pay
oar -fourth of the Dost up to $16,000. It is
believed that with from thirty to titty acree
one sufficient for sixty inmates eau be estab-
lished in Huron for about $12.000. Or.oe
established, the average annual expense for
inmstea, in.luding everything, appears td be
about $55.00, or in detail • W ellineton,
$60.06 ; Waterloo, $53.30; 'fork. $67.08;
SSid lieeex, $51.00 ; Elgin, $55 25. The
average per person for those now maintain-
ed out of couaty funds, many of them only
In part, and all ineffioleutiy, ie over $100.
6. To provide the principal, or original
cost of the establishment would scarcely
cost a serious effort for thie'large and riuh
county. Take $12,000 se the cost. The
Government will pay $3,000. The Scott
Apt t lee lyingidle in the treasury, amouut-
ing to $4.500, can no doubt be obtained for
the purpose with the consent of the Domin•
ion Government, leaving only about $4,500
more for the county to pay; or with interest,
about $300 a year for . twenty years, a sum
so small es to be practically inappreciahlo
with a county aseeeeme0$ of over $32,000,-
000.
7. The , ea' • as -before Chown, is pay-
ing about $2,774 . ,1 of county fund. (in
adli ion tri what is expended by the local
municipalities) for t o Dere and mainten-
anoe of,twore y -six perso, At $55jper head,
the average cost of house o efuga maiuten-
%nee, this sum would maims a hity persons
or t+robably all that the whole county would
send for many years to come. t
8. And note the difference in another
respe it. O4r ouly Rouse of Refuge at the
present time is the gaol. There the un..
fortunate—usually aged and broken doses—
whose only crime is hie poverty, bas to con-
sort with criminal*, feed on prisoe fare, es -
erase in a prison yard witboue shade or
shelter, and -sleep in a prison coil, without
any of the care or attention which age and
infirmity unquestionably call for. - If by
thus keeping its aged and infirm indigents
the county saved money the argument of
"economy" might be advanced by those who
oppose the erection of a House of Refuge.
But when, in addition to the inferior ac-
commodation accorded the unfortunates by
the present systetn, it is shown that the
coat reaches up to regular hotel rates for
eaoh inmate, without corresponding bene•
tits, the argument ou the dollar and cents
line—whioh after alt, is the only argument
that opponents of the eoheme attempt to ad,
venoe—fs1Ie to tho ground.
9. Contrast the condition of she gaol
"ward" with that of the inmate of a' House
of R• foga. In the latter there would be
work for all—indnor and out ; no weary
hours aimlessly spout; useful avocation and
employment for both sexes ; pleasant social
intercourse between the inmates of the re-
speotiye divisions iu the House; every oppo -
tunity for fresh air and exeibiee ; and in the
ease of any who ,night have got beyond the
activities of life by age or disease, a careful
attention an l humane treatment that could
be:exceeded in no other institution, public or
private. -
The foregoing is a brief statement of the
cams, iu favor of the eetabliehnteatof a Hones
of industry by the County of Huron. That
it will be a step in the interest of common
humanity ; that it will be a more satisfactory
e•.lution of the poverty problem ; and that it
will be more economical to tax payers of the
county than the present method, hes been,
indubitably shown. It is, therefore, the
bounden duty of every intelligent ratepayer
to carefully analyze the biota presentee, and
on election day to record his or her vote. in
favor of wiping out the old system, which
has bean neither economical 'nor creditable
to the county; and substituting in its stead
a method more in accord with the Sermon on
the Mount, and which will also prove to be
a great saving to the taxpayers of the
County,

Orange eoustitution, and I may say that
am familiar with it. I have been elevated
the highest p .si ion within the gift of the
Orangemen not only of Canada, but of the
world. Tneir o4.,ico was, from first to last,
entirely unsolicited, het the position woe
offered to me uuaa,mou.ly, There'fere, it
lyes been said that, being placed iu enoh a
high piaeition iu the.'O. auge organization, I
should not have aooepted a position under
Sir John Thompson and should not support
hip Ceoverumeut. Such was not my view.
I remember well the adoptu►n by myself of
the decl.ration of the prioelplee' of Abe
Orange Association and I would not have
been true to it had I been ab bigoted or so
narrow-ntiaded ae to reed it iu that way.
But the order has never taken such a posit-
ion. I will read one article from, tho con.

obligation that I took upon me 25 years ago.
It is the declaration which meat be taken by

He has the memo 'right as any man in this

rights. Therefore I take this ground. I
stand hare to -day on my obligations as an

believe properly. (Applause ). Why should
I not accept an office when 1 was offered it t
Yoe and 1 have aseieted in building up the
Conservative association in this riding. We
have oonsiatetttly and fairly fought—Az—the
principles of the Conservative party and we
are now in thorough accord with it. Ac-
cordingly, when I was asked to accept a
position in tho Government„ I felt that I
would be unfaithful to you and untrue to the
trust you have planed in me, if I failed,
when I had a chance, to develop the policy
and the plans of the party. Therefpro, I
have, aooepted ,hie place, though I know
that the responsibilities of It are very great.
You have chosen me to look after the inter•
este of Were York, but even more, to see to
the Interests • of the whole Dominion. To-
day you have given me further power as e
representative of the whole people of Can-
