Every one says the roads are in a worse condition this spring than they ever saw them before. Whether that is a truth or not we will not attempt to determine, but certain it is, they were in a most shocking condition generally, being in many places well nigh impassable. It is quite evident there is something sadly out of order with our road-making." In spite of experience we go on making mud roads, not only on our concessions and side lines, but on the main lines of travel. Statute labor is used iust about as it was three-quartersof a century ago. No greater waste of time and money can well be im- agined than this road oobbling, except it be the Ontario Parliament s tinkering at the municipal law. Whatever is done by statute labor or commutation money in one year has to be annually re-done the next, and until there is a change in the program, this will go on ad innitum. In this road-making business two things are necessary, namely, the application of road-making principles and looking a little into the future. In some road sections in Ontario good permanent roads have been made almost entirely by statute labor. This has been done by making a portion of permanent road every year, using just enough labor and money to keep the mud roads in passable repair. In the course of a few years all the roads in a road division may be macadamized and made solid, or if material for macadamizing be not available in the neighborhood, then by the use of some other material the roads could be made so as to be passable at all seasons. It is about time that the ancient, expensive and comparatively V useless statute labor style of road-making had become fossilized and something better substituted. ?1'HE, NOB. 1`Hl`.mB`;N`~i .Vi A1\TL A Much to church. ~ M The members of "the_Bsrrio 81:.

W : ~Poorl_i,on_ses. , \ Many papers feel called upon to rhapso-' j dise eloquently.inobjection tothe proposed ` grant by the legislature towards the estab lishment of county poor houses. They say `such grants will make these places. of , to alien eyes. '1' poverty blossom all over the land ; will place a reward on indigence and recognise it as a natural condition of life ; and the poor houses will disgrace the country in the esti- mation of the world by parading our poverty `alse reasoning! Our asy- lums for the insane, for the idiotic, for the blind--our hospitals, our jails, our peniten-- tiaries--these may by the same process of reasoning be said to parade our mental afflictions, accidents, and criminality before the world. But abolish the above institu- tions, and would not the lunatic howling from street to lane, arade his insanity more wide and far; et our blind grape their sightless way--let the thief have free course in his thievery, and would not the one parade bis aiiction more touchingly, and the other his depravity more disas- trously, than under the resent benecent provisions. The same app ies to poor houses . and poverty. `While the unfortunate poor -are left to alms, on the precarious charity of passers by, on the bounty of irresponsible municipal councils--while they are forced into the market square to beg or to steal, they parade a worse show to the stranger within our gates than the sight of a cleanly kept though well lled poor house. But, hang the world! Let it think as it may. Canada has the proof to refute all calumnies, and enough undeveloped wealth to make princes `of its every pauper. But"there are those who have come to us `an hungered`,- we ` must _ give them, bread; nak_eVd_,;we_ jnustl ' clothe them. We must not by cold refusals starve them into the central prison or the grave yard. Let us have a House of Indus- try, because it will provide shelter and food for the unfortunate, and feeble and helpless.
