The Ontario Government still kee
cankering at the Municipal Act. Mr.
Gibson, of Huron, has now introduced
*bill to exempt lawns and paddocks,
in cities and towns from taxation. The
effect even in Exeter would be very
at. It would not be so bad if the
egastature benefitted everybody, but it
dilly applies to wealthy citizens who
"rave lawns adjoining their residences
and who are quite capable of paying
fair their privilege. The whole com-
munity, however, would have to bear
the additional tax necessary to make
up the deficiency caused by the return
tn. the old order of things.

An accident which may -terminate
fatally occurred at the Walkerville
Junction of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Tuesday afternoon. An Ander-
don farmer, Isaac Mayville, 'was re-
turning from Windsor to lrls home,
when just as he came to the crossing
the buggy became detached, and he
was left sitting in the middle of the
track, while the horse went on.I3efore
he could climb out of the rig he was
struck and thrown over a fence. His
thigh was broken, and he also re-

Italy's fate in Abyssinia ought to be
a warning to the European powers
which are so surely afflicted with the
crrze for colonial expansion. The
colonial expansion idea may be all
right, John Bull is about three hun-
dred years ahead of the rivals which
are now feebly imitating bis triumphs.
In gaining all the places on the globe
which are best worth colonizing,
Britain gained experience which saves
it from the disasters which have come
and will come to the European nations
in pursuit of the phantom of colonial
expansion. v
Rev. J. O. Madill, nester of Zion
Congregational Church, Sarnia, and
Wm. McLaren, became involved in a.
cltspiite Monday nu a ferr • boat at

of the church. It wound up by Mc-
Laren strinking Madill, breaking his

which he had in his hand. A man
named Mitchell, who came to the
pastor's assistance, was felled with a
chair and his inose was also broken.
McLaren is held in $500 bail.
The proposed bill relating to the es-
tablishment of public abattoirs in cities
and towns is one that should be ap-
-proved of by the Legislature. The
slaughtering of animals forhumanfood
Ought to be conducted according to the
best scientific and sanitary principles.
We want a building that will be pro-
perly ventilated and drained; where
Bold storage appliances will keep the
condition until it is
meat in
perfect co
ready for distribution,wherea thorough
inspection of the animals to be slaugh-
tered will be made. The construction
and maintenance of a properly equip-
ped abattoir is advisable from a purely
economical point of view. It is cheap-
ei to concentrate the business than to
have it carried on in a great many dif-
ferent places. We trust the bill will
become law this session.

Chief Justice Meredith's judgment
against the London and Lancashire
Life Insurance Company for $5,000
an ttvo policies on the life of James
Flemming, of Barrie, who died about
a:year ago, decides an important point
for insurance companies. There is a
clause in policies, stating that notes
will not be accepted in lieu of cash for
premiums. Th e company's agent
took a note from Mr. Flemming on the
policy, and after deducting his com-
mission forwarded a personal note to
the company, which it accepted. Be
fore Mr. Flemmings note' fell due he
died, and the company resisted, pay-
ment on the strength of the clause re-
g;ar'ding notes. By the decision of the
court, however,`the acceptance of the
agent's note releases this clause and
the company is held liable for acts of
their agents.
