TRH Globe says :—"The Manitobans
are talking about eslabliehing a bureau
for insuring props against hail. The re.
sent hail storm in Southern Manitoba
has ehnpoverished some of the settlers.
Last year the Neepawa district was
strnok; next year some other portion of
the Province may be visited. The
Tribune, of Winnipeg, suggests that the
Local Government should take hold of
the scheme and create a bureau on the
aseesemnt principle, every settler being
taxed to make good the losses of individ•
aal sufferers. The agricultural imple-
ment men are 'booming' the movement
and something may come of it, though
it would be probably better if, instead of
invoking the assistance of the Govern-
ment, the settlers were to organize a co-
operative company by their own unaided
efforts."
Tan carelessness displayed by many
parents as to the regular attendance at
school in this and other places is to be
deplored. The Guelph Council is about
to pass a by-law, whereby, after the
present year, the School Board will col.
lect their own taxes. The object of this
change is to arouse a more general in-
terest in the business and expenditure of
the Board, it being thought that if the
people paid their school taxes separately,
and were thus made plainly aware of the
amcant asked for the purpose, they
would become more alive to the import.
sane of educational matters and their
management. If a few examples were
made of those who persistently refuse to
comply with the requirements of the
School Law there would likely be an
awakening on this very important
natter.
Wiwi attraction will draw the biggest
crowd, is the question engaging the at-
tention of the big agricultural shows.
The big ox, log cabin quilt, and 100
potted pumpkin are a matter of history,
being supplanted be horse racing, balloon
ascensions, juggling, &e. While there is
a necessity to get out of the old groove
there is a tendency to run to the other
extreme. An exchange says on this sub,
ject :—"The teriff reformers of the State
of New Xork have this fall taken ad•
vantage of the desire of the managers of
the local agricultural fairs to provide at.
tractions, and have begun a novel educa-
tional campaign. Arrangements have
been made for a series of tariff debates
at the more important agricultural fairs.
Prominent speakers on both sides of the
question have been secured, and, for the
time being, these discussions, ,instead of
public weddings, balloon asoeneions and
tight rope walking, form the most at -
native feature of the show. This is a
new development of the fair idea, and it
is a good one, for a great public question,
such as that of the tariff, is more likely
to be discussed on its true merits before
farmers than from a political platform."
Tan Toronto News says :—"Charles
Rykert was quietly snubbed at the Con-
servative gathering at Port Colborne,
whither be bad been invited by someone
unknown. The two doctors, Ferguson
