HOUSE OF REFUGE.
Past week we could not find
sped: fur the admirable utemurauda
from all the local clergy of Goderich
anent a comity House of Refuge
and Ithluatrisl Farm. There are no
politics in eounty legislation of
the Mud sought to be forwarded by
those gentlemen. The care of the
aged, infirm and destitute more
particularly devolves upon those
who endeavor to teach the
!salmi huniui-
as well as religious precepts
of One who had not where to lay
Itis head.
The Goderich clergy have taken
a step that should moot with the
'malty approval or their brethren
and all other humanely ineliued
persons throughout the county.
They appear to, have collated a
considerable amount of practical
iufoiniation, front what they con-
sider reliable sources, as to the
probable cost and maintenance of a
Home aud Farm. There aro now
nine' of them in Ontario. The
F.VCI,Cl., Lust of holdings and latal is
about $17,000 ; of each iumate $58 ;
of annual expenditure $8,000
attendauee 100. The county
Coneeil and municipal councils of
Hurou paid $6,800 for relief pur-
poses in 1888. No account is taken
of priVate relief. As farmers seem
lc he mule opposed to a House of
-Refuge, the figures given show
that on the average assessment it
would cost them about 80 cents per
farm, t. the reverend Messrs Ure,
W. A. Yuiffig, G. Richardeou', T.
J. A. Anderson and B. L.
Hutton remark :-"Surely it ia a
libel upon the rural ratepayer to.
suggest that ho is hostile upon the
mere ground of the necessary ex-
1nae
-We do not think that we are
hazarding Much in saying that them
probably as touch given by pri-
vate, unorganized aid to destitute
pet -Rune, who are unwilling to ask
municipalities for relief or who are
too honest to commit a crime in
order to get iia't,!!le- 'Et that found
-to s..be4iveri county and
muniicpalities. If this matter is
thoroughly considered from even a
dollar 0.tid cent point of view it
should c.mhnend itself .to every
refleetir It ratepayer. Indeed, it
tt 'Jun L,t be a bad idea to intro-
duce the isaue at the election of
reeves :led deputies. In this event
the nit Inhere of the next county
arlian ts would he in a position
either 1 support or oppose the
establishment and maintenance of
Haus, of Refuge in this county.
There are various other circum-
stances than those already referred
to wL!ei should be taken into coil-
aidevation as affecting this matter.
There ie scarcely a municipality but
sustains direct loss every year by
want of a place to send vagrants or
destitute persons to several times
gyrator than it would have . to pay
for their keep in a House of Refuge.
We mean loss by fires which have,
oecurn:1 every year through the'
carelessness of tramps who have
taken friendly shelter in barns, or
olvitouses or un the lee side of pro-
tecting ,''raw or haysta(ks. Or it
inay 1)e that these lives have been
caused by design in retaliation for
sat .ai imaginary inhumanity by
the owners. Of course these losses
nave fai.cu upon individuals, but
each person is interested in averting
them breause he knows not when it
.n &ii t11 VII to he the sufferer.
Provide a House of Refuge with
Induttrial Farm attached, anti cum
pel every vagrant to go there,
whether he be infirm or'able-hodied
and the farmer would feel; and bo,
far more secure than under exist-
ing circumstances where the hard
earned results of his year's toil aro

1.; DI l'ORIAL NOTES.
The Ottawa Government has re.
ecived a telegram front Er. T.
Cunningham, member for New
W est to in i ;ter, B. G., vigor msly
protesting against any modification
of the chines° restriction Act. Ile
very truly says that their influx
into the couutry would only tend
to degrade labor au ! impoverish
the country.
Of all the senseless charges
against the Dominion Government
made by the Globe the one that the
Ottawa authorities were responsible
for the bungling manner in which
the murderer Harvey was hanged at
Guelph, is the most amazing. It is
the duty of the sheriff to attend to
such matters. The sheriff is an ap-
pointee of' Mowat's ; if he dial not
carry out properly one of the func-
tions appertaining to his position he
is responsible in the first place and
Mr. Mowat next. The Dominion
authorities had about as much to do
with the manner in which Harvey
was hanged as they have with the
manner in which an impouutled
beast is attended to. And certainly
the quadrupeds are treated more
mercifully than Mr. Mowat's sheriff
treated the unfortunate man Harvey.
Jefferson Davis died one day last
week. He was 81 years of age.
Since 1861, when he became Presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy,
he has occupied a considerable
place in the world's history. The-
oretically the principle he contend-
ed for was right. it was the same
one l'Or which the original thiitoen
states rebelled. They succeeded,
and their rebellian was transmuted
into a revolution. The Southern
States' uprising was equally a revo-
lution, but they failed in carrying
their point, and what under more
favorable conditions would have
been called such, degenerated into
rebellion. After the war he put
two years in prison and was then
let out on bail, Horace Greely be
doming one of his sureties. He was
included in a general ainnuaty, but
he never availed himself of it and
at the thne of his death was not a
citizen of the Unitel States. He
held that the several States were
sovereign communities when they
united together in A, compact or
league, never completely parted
with their sovereignty and had the
same right to withdrew from it as
they had to enter it. Certainly the
compact was not between the Ameri-
can people in the aggregate but
between the States as distinct com-
munities. This, too, was the old
Calhoun doctrine and had i a logical
force that evens Webster could not
break.. But might will triumph
and right has often to take a back
seat.

Mr. R. Birmingham, Secretary of
the Cuireervative Association of
Ontario, who was present as a vial -
tor, was asked to address the meet-
ing. Ile add that Weetilluron had
occupied a coumiderable space in
the public mind for many years.
The intelligence of the people anti
their tvell known adhesion to British
inatitutions were above all praise,
Never had such hurrahs rentthe
air in the city of Toronto as at last
elections when the news of the
election of A1r. Potter was recei‘ ed.
And Mr. Portar occupied a leading
plane in Parliament. Divisions
should not prevent his return. Ile
was a credit even to the intelligence
of Weat Huron. But the matter
before the meeting was the selection
of a candidate to contest the Riding
for the Local Legislature. That
candidate should be in thorough
sympathy with the party ; if not,
loyalty to hint could not be expect-
ed, and without loyalty to him suc-
cess would not be attainable. Divis-
ions were always disastrous and
wrongoften triumphed through them.
Lambtou was a case in point. This
Riding was not a forlorn hope, but
nomination did not mean election.
Votes are what count, and we have
the votes. If a nomination is untde
the party should stick by it. A
change is inevitable, The sins of
the Mowat Government are sufficient
to beat them. A candidate is work-
ing for the public. The public
should work for him in return.
Tho people should not expect him'
to do either all the work or pay all
the expenses. 'rho indemnity
would not cover ordinary expenses:
Electors should bear this in mind,
that the luau who had the most
money to spend was nut ttlways the
best representative.
Mr. Porter being called on ex-
pressed his pleasure in being pre-
sent. Ho had always visited them
and whether defeated or victorious
had always done the best ho could
for the common cause. .As this
meeting was called for local put.-
poses he would confine his remarks
in that direction. He then pointed
out the defects of the Mowat Guy -
eminent ; The maladministration of
the Crooks Act ; the continuing a
ballot system that was not secret and
loft voters at their mercy ; tls
school book robberies ; the misuse
of the public funds to their °friends
and disguised as Colonization roads
expenses ; the creation of two
separate school superintendents at a
cost of $5,000 a year without any
request from Catholics who wero
quite satisfied with former condi-
tions. This was an English pro.
vines and no other language should,
be officially recognised. As an old
teacher he claimed it was not neces•
sary to deprive the French of diges-
tion in order to leach them English,
hut teachers in French sectiens
should understand 'English as well
as French. Separate schools were
guaranteed by the Constitution and
could not be abolished. Many did
not nuderstanti this. Ho thought
it a pity, however, that Protestants
and Catholics were not being edu-
cated together ; it would certainly
lead to a better feeling. Mr
Porter's remarks were received with
hearty applause. Messrs F. W.
Johnston, P. Kelly and J. M.
Roberts made a few remarks each.
As there were new issues sprung
upon the people since last election,
it was not considered advisable to
nominate a candidate at this time.
When the issues before the country
are fully defined another mooting
will be called. Whoever the candi-
date might be he could not intelli-
gently accept a nomination now,
The meeting endorsed this view,
Resolutions endorsing the Domin-
ion Administration and Mr. W.
R. Meredith the loader of the Local

ried; also thanking Mr. Birmingham

Events and results prove William
grasped the best political and religi-
ous ideas .of his day and put them in
force. In effect be said the people
must have a parliament ; if kings do
wrong impeach them ; if lawless
depose bini ; if necessary change the
Royal line ; the teat Acts were
abolished and liberty granted to all
loyal Rotnanists. The Prince of
Orange, as William 111,1completed alt
that was grand and noble began by
Henry VIII who died 1597. Henry
lr'd the foundations. many laborers
toiled to build, William alone suc-
ceeded. 'I he work of Henry N'll I
was purely political and social, not
affecting the religion of the couutry.
His 'constitution was not • one of
doctrine but authority ; who should
rule the church; who should nomin-
ate bishops- the Pope or the King?!
Until the days of Henry VIII the
Pope eontroiled all ecclesiastical
Affairs ; the priests placed them-
selves above the law; every church
was it sanctuary of refuge ; thieves
and murderers if therein set at defi-
ance officers of Justice. All these
privileges Henry swept away; he
secularized properties held by monks.
Queen Mary repealed all the Aots
passed in llenry's reign which abro-
gated thellauthority of the Pope, arid -
restored all the rites and ceremonies
of the Roman Church. Mary and
some others tried to pull down the
foundations laid by Henry VIII but
failed. William 111 one hundred
and fifty years after built thereon a
superstructure never to be over-
thrown.

limit? Why not permit freedom of
worship and liberty of organization ?
Hence the Toleration act permitting
Episcopalians, Baptists, indepen-

to exist side by side, and thus the
problem that puzzled England for
150 years was solved. " 0 •

the religious animosities of the past,
nay it is a brotherhood of peace and
goodwill to all. As an organization
it is baptized with the blood of every

The question lie one of the highest
interest, and carries UR back histori-
cally to days dark end stormy in
English History ; the question carries
us back and beyond the Revolution
of 1688 -the 'net revolution in Eng.,
lish Watery. In the dark hack -
gr ut.d of that period are to be
found years 01 oppression and thrill-
ing struggles ending in victstry.

tion and freedom of opinion of tos

these blessings our gratitude is due

why the Loyal Orange etrotherhocA
celebrate the 5th of November in
each year.
For over one hundred years prior
to 1688 various means had been em-
ployed by different parties in auth-
ority for the suppression of civil
liberty and religious freedom. There
was a time in 13eitash history %%Olen all
must conform to one Standard of
Faith, or be expelled or excluded
from every branch of Magistracy and
rendered incapable of serving their
country in the meanest civil office.
The Society of Friends were lin.
prisoned for their religious pi•inciples
and treated with the utmost severity,
end even savage barbarity. In 1662,
the Act of Uniformity was passed
suppressing by force all diversity of
religious .opinion. Nearly '2001-) con-
scientious Ministers of tla Gospel
were' silenced, •ejeeteil Prean their
pulpits and thrown 'into persecution
and poverty, for any one of- these
men to preach, or conduct public
religious service wits a Penal offence

mernorahle Contatmlicle .10 of 16G4.
It was found that clergymen would
preach. Strong in their attachment
to Christ and true to the truth that
saves, would preach and the people
would hear. They met in dens and

by river's hank and woods. For the

IN 105, .IES 11 ON TI1E THRONE:
Ile was a Romanist grown unto
full perfection. The great ambition
of his life was the full restoration of
Popery in Great Britain. The pages
of British Ilistory teem with facts
proving he was determided to make
Ireland a refuge where he and the
members of his church might find
safety in time of trouble. .0
I dwell not on the evils -and Hiegel acts
of' James II. Ile arta resolved to
.crush every vestige of ciyil liberty
and religious freedom from Great
Britain. Then in that dark and
stormy hour a number of' the nobles
and clergy of England invited Wits
Haut Prince of Orange, nephew and
sonin-law of James, but a Protestant,
to come and aid in ileronuing true
freedom and gospel faith. William
carne -landed at Torbay, Devonaltire,
November 5th, 1688. He there and
then betaine the champion of civil
and religious liberty. For this liberty
England to him is indebted ; ho car.
tied through a successful revolution
which gave to Britain, we trust for
ever, the right of petition, the right
of free speech; the right of the nation
to be governed by the just adminis-
tration of its own laws. God, the
King of nations, raised up William,
Prince of titnt„.1e, at a critical hour
as a deff nce and a defender. Truly
for every event there has been a
Mater Spirit -a Moses to deliver
from bondage ; a Joshua to conduct
into the Promised Land; a Nehemiah
to restore and rebuild; a Paul to give
an impulse, extension and perrnan
ency to the Faith ; a Luther to open
an iron hand and extricate seed that
will bring forth an abundant harvest.
Faith and heroism still live in the
world -circumstances alone are re-
quired to draw them forth.
