to be enlarged rather than curtailed. The Lord report
.111, PATHER.— tie following is our meteorological
Mayor of York followed in the wake of his P° •
distinguished metropolitan confrere, and the
gatherings of the Mayors were not only fraught
with national interest, but they tended to
establish Corporate control in a stronger and
more honourable position than it had occupied
for many years. Rewnt legislation in regard to
Borough Funds has been influenced by their
couvention, and the important principle of the
self-government of conununities in local affairs
will now obtain so long as it is used wisely and
well. The borough of Dorchester, as well as
several others in the county, was represented in
those assemblages of the Mayors of England
and Wales, and, so far as we in the county town
are concerned, we gladly confess that the Mayor,
Mr. Gregory, has done his part admirably in
maintaining unimpaired the municipal dignity
and demonstrating the usefulness of the office.
Elected for two years to the civic chair, he has
been foremost in all undertakings for the welfare
of the borough; and we can point to the
renovation of our beautiful Walks, the interest
manifested in the Ftifie Corps, the valuable
stimulus given to the local Friendly Societies,
the lead he has taken in all local movements
calculated to advantage the municipality, as
good work done and permanent benefits con-
ferred during
_his Mayoralty. The testimonial
presented to Mr. Gregory, at the united dinner
of the Friendly Societies on Thursday night,
WY a spontaneous expression of gratitude of no
ordinary character, and we believe that not only
the thrifty amongst the artisans, but all classes
in the borough, are equally gratified by the
manner in which the Mayor has filled his high
position. About this time last year we ventured
to express what we conceived to be the general
opinion of the town in favour of Mr. Gregory's
re-election; and, although that caused some
offence, and led us into trouble (which we
continually keep green in our memory), we can
now confidently appeal to the event of Thursday
as confirmation strong of our true apprehension
of the desire of the Burgesses. On Monday
next Mr. Gregory will have completed his two
years' Mayoralty usefully and judiciously, and
retire from the civic chair with the universal
respect and approbation of all classes in the
borough. To all who come after him, and to
all who fill a similar office in the several
boroughs of the county, we commend the course
he has followed as the certain way to the same
success he has achieved. Abiding zeal for the
welfare of the borough, constant readiness at
whatever sacrifice of tinio and labour to foster
its institutions the wisdom to conceive and thu
heart to realize new means tending to increase
the prosperity of the town and its inhabitants,
laudable desire to be of service to the burgesses,
prompt fulfilment of the duties of the Mayoralty,
and due regard for its dignity—these are the
charms by which Mr. Gregory has done good to
the borough and won the esteem of the towns-
folk • and all who similarly devote themselves
to fulfilling the important duties of that office
will receive equally littering recognition by the
burgesses of their efforts. Our municipal
institutions are worthy of continued preserva-
tion and further development, and these
advantages largely depend on the choke which
our various Corporate bodies make next Monday
of Mayors for the ensuing year.
Members of Friendly Societies in their relation to
the Poor Law was one of the chief topics of discourse
after the Friendly Societies' dinner, on Thursday. The
Rev. 11. Everett, with much force and plausibility,
insisted that the ordinary treatment of members of
Clubs by Boards of Guardians discourages thrift and
gives a premium to careless living, because in apportion-
ing relief the Guanlians consider the benefit provided
by club membership. II is argument was that any pay
received from a I. ricndly Society ought not to be
reckoned at all. On the face of it this appears to be a
sound contention, in the interest of public thrift and
Forethought. But Mr. Floyer, for many years past
the Chairman of the Dorchester Board of Guardians,
brought the light of knowledge and experience to the
subject. He showed that the administrators of the
Poor Law cannot apply the rates to increasing the
scanty means of provident men so that they may live
comfortably when past work, but that rates are solely
For the relief of the destitute ; and, that it is right the
money should be only so applied, he reminded the
meeting that many of those who pay poor rates arc but
one remove from paupers themselves. We believe,
however, that the wise course, and, moreover, that
generally adopted, takes neither extreme, but dots eke
out the small earnings of widows with children, when
it can be done with economy to the ratepayers and due
regard to the bringing up of the fatherless ones; and
that in the cue of dependents of Friendly Society
members only half the amount received by them from
the Club is calculated in granting relief. Of course
there is no reason for taking half specially, but that
seems to be found in practice a reasonable course as
between the thrifty recipients and the poorerratepayers.
But there is one point of view from which we should
like to see Guardians consider this subject. It is a
matter of surprise and isgi,t that throughout the
county so few of the labourers, comparatively, join the
Dorset Friendly Society., and we recommend it, as an
interesting inquiry, how many are deterred from
becoming members by the knowledge that by paying
their 3d. or ad. a week they would wily be secenng
sick benefits they new get from the parish without any
payment at all, and that the funeral money from Clubs
is discounted by the Guardians when a widow applies
for assistance? At the best, parochial relief is a sad
resort, and we should like to see more vigorous efforts
in.ide to populansc the Widows • ' and Orphans' Funds
of the Foresters' and Oddfellows' Societies, and the
old age class of meMbeas to the County Fnendly
Society. True, such benefits cannot be secured with.
out additional payments, but there ant many artiuns
we feel sure who might attain to it by a detuipined
effort, and what a consolation it would be to them in
death to feel that they had so provided for the wives
and families they were about to leave to the mercy of
the world, that they would happily be sfaral the
humiliation of pleading fcr the paupers' due. The
question of outdoor relief was considered at a l'uor
Law Conference at Sherburne last week, and there
seems to be a growing conviction that the 'house
test" must be more stringently applied, but to modify
its virulence if exerts...l in every case, a system uf tem-
porary loans iv suggested. 'This scheme seems to offer
mean, fur enabling persons to tide over casualtit.s with-
out degrading them into paupers It will require,
however, Crest caution in its application. We under-
stamil that the Sherburne Cioarillaill have begun making
a trial of the plan, and we shall watch the result with
gnat interest. It is said that last year in Kent ploo
was repaid that had been so lent, which seems pretty
good evidence in its favour, and we shall be glad to
welcome any escape from the pauperising influence of
permanent relief
