0. F. Farwell, M. P. P., has present
a petition for Eaet Algoma, asking th
the name of the Township of Coffin
changed to Aberdeen, in honor of o
former Governor.Geueral, and that t
name of Lake Desert be changed to G
don, for the same reason. There will
no opposition to altering these lugubrio
appellations.
J. J. Kelso, Secretary of the Depa
merit for Neglected Children, gave
address to the members of the House
the Ontario system of oaring for negle
ed and dependent children. The leotu
was given in the members' reoepti
room, and was illustrated by limelig
views. The lecture was very instruoti
and showed the wonderful work bei
done in the Provinces.
Mr. MacNish has introduced a bill
amend the Aseessment Aot so as to rat
the exemption from taxatiou of i000
from $700 to $1,000. He has introduc
o bill to amend the Munieipal Act, saki
for a clearer definition of the qualific
tions of aldermen aucl other officers
wands. The intention is to lower t
qualifientions for municipal eouncillo
to owners of property assessed at $1,00
encumbered or not.
Mr. Pattullo has introduced three bi
which ate of importnee. The first pr
vides that the bailee shall not be used
munioipal councils of any kind. Ile al
asks that municipalities be prohibit
from hamming manufacturing Maestri
under any airoumstances, Two yea
ago an act was passed reducing the si
of town councils in towns of 5,000 inhab
tants or less. Mr. Patten° sake that
apply to all towns.
In the municipal deputation whin ap•
peered before the Ontario Government,
all the cities in the Province, together
with eeveral of the towns, were repre-
sented, and the petition for the amend.
meat of the assessment law so that
municipalities could obtain a fair taxation
from Street railways, eleetric light, gas,
telephone and telegraph oompaniee, was
strongly presented. They asked that the
property of these companies should be ae•
sassed on their full value as they stand
at net, lees a reasonable allowance for
wear and tear and renewals, the same as
any other property.
"Before entering on the orders of the
day on Thursday," said the Speaker, "I
desire to draw the attention of the House,
and more particularly the new members,
to rules three and ten. The third rule
reads ae follows : 'When the House has
adjourned the member, shall keep their
seats until the Speaker has left the chair,'
and the tenth rale reeds as follows
'Every member desiring to speak is to
rise in his place, nneovered, and address
himself to the Speaker.' During the
August session, a large number of new
members being in this House, I did not
think proper to enforce thie rule, but,
this being the second session, I intend to
do so. San expressions as "Gentlemen,
'thank you for a patient hearing,' or the
appellation of 'gentlemen' within the
preoinote of this hall, are unparliarnen•
tary expressions whin cannot be rtheived
lo the future."
Mr. Itislop (East Huron), who resumed
the debate upon the budget on Thursday,
pointed out that it was not to be supposed
the polioy of the Government would meet
with the unqualified approval of the Op•
position, who for twenty.seven long years
have been trying to obtain control of the
reins of government. He admitted that
during that long period the Government
had made mistakes, and had not always
done those things which they ought to
have done. This sentiment was applaud•
ed by the Opposition, but Mr. Hislop,
continuing, declared that the Govern.
rent in this reaped were only human,
and went on to compare their record with
that of the Opposition, who had during
their long exile in the erotic regions of
Opposition to a far greater extent done
that which they ought not to have done,
which they now regretted and the
memory of which they would fain blot
out, and the assertion was reoaived with
men applause frorn the Government
benches. He (congratulated the Govern.
ment upon retaining the confidence of
the people, founded in the wise and
economical administration of the affairs
of the Province, under whin the expendi-
ture had increased lees proportionately
than in any other Province of the Domi•
nion, He defended the educational
polioy of the Government, which found
its besbjnetifleation in the high standard
of cultivation and enlightenment charac-
terizing the young men and women of
the Province. The contention of the Op-
position that the Experimental Farm and
College ebould be self sustaining was
held up to ridianle as unreasonable to a
degree, and Mr, Hislop challenged the
• Oppoeition to show a similar educational
institution bad ever been made self.sue•
taining. Replying to the names of the
Opposition, the troth of whin he denied,
that the Province was drifting toward
direct taxation, he asked who had done
more to bring about nob a state of
affairs than the hon. Members of the
Opposition and their friends in endeavor.

The Government has decided to divide
the bill to supplement the provincial
revenues into two parts. One will be
known es an aot respecting brewers and
distillers, and other licensee, and the
second will be an not to supplement the
proviucial revenues. The nano on
brewers will be a graded one. It will
come pretty high on big breweries and
will be considerably over $1,000 on each
of those located in Toronto. The tax on
distilleries will be even larger. The tax
to supplement the revenues will be on
banks, loan companies, trust companies,
and insurer -me companies. Them insti-
tutions will be taxed according to their
capital. The new law will also tax rail•
