When, after the report has bear publish- ed. I glance through a score of papers IO can't find anybody to feel sad at the long of Bumble, who was satirised so imperish- ably by Dickens It would stor that bad as the old system was, that this present Poor Law replaced, many abases word left open and most of the old faults were left without an effective remedy. So there are no wreaths in preparation for the dying poor law system when it finally disappears, which will not be yet awaile, for. l'arlia ment has troubic enough on busd for the present.

But what are the changes that will be effected if the points of agreement between the majority and the minority reports of this Royal Commission are carried into law? I will try to forecast the situation briedy.

Instead of the inefficient, incompetent and boodling Boards of Guardiam, that d, not draw on the whole the best materiale: for public representation, them will he Public Assistance committees under the Local Government Board. The rate will be levied by the County Comcils as a Public Assistance rate.
