THURSDAY, DEC. 14, 1882,
TIIE ,REFORM CONVENTION.
The calling of a -.convention froin all
sections of the country of those who are.
actuated by good motives, and desire to
give expression to patriotic sentiments,
and in other ways promote the best inte-
rests of this ;country, is ' an object that
should be :approved of by every one.
There are now several questions before'
THE people of Michigan are agitating
for a re-enactment, of the reciprocity treaty
with Canada. It would be an advantage
to both countries if this was accomplished:

HON; MA. WOOD, Provincial Secretary,
has expressed his intention of retiring
after the next session of the House. Mr.
Mowat could not do better than fill his
place, by taking Mr. Ross, the member
for thia riding, into the Cabinet. A gen-
tleman of recognized debating ability, one
of the best financiers in Ontario, it would
be hard to find one better qualified jor the
position.
Middlesex County. Council passed the
following resolution last week
" That -the Petitioning committee be in-
structed to draft a petition to the three.
branches of the Legislature of the .Domin-
ion of Canada, praying them to pass a Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law."
_Jnat aalikely_as not, they emphasized it
the country of very great importance, and ' by repairing to the nearest hotel for liquid

Many persons can be sent as delegates
who are well fitted to give expression to
Tim Ottawa -Free Press, being .contra -
4 opinions entertained by' the community, dieted in its assertion the other day, that
Messrs. Boultbee, Plumb,. &c; had gone
but who would never otherwise have an
opportunity of freely expressing these
opinions, except to a very limited circle:
The opinions expressed at this convention
will show in :a very great degree how the
country feels in regard to, the boundary
question, streams bill, liquor question,and
other (natters connected with provincial
rights, and the government now in power
will then see what the country wants and
to what extent they are likely,to be . sup-
ported in whatevercourse they may. see As farmers are continually making itn
fit to pursue. This being the case we provements in their method of working,
hope every section will be well represent- there is one thing in which they might

tives in carrying the Ontario elections, re-
peats its statement in the following em-
phatic manner :
`` It is positively certain that money to
carry Ontario is what the visitors came
after, and, we repeat, they obtained Sir
John's assurance that it would be forth-
coming
orthcoming:when required, and the—Pacific
Railway Company are the parties expected
to honor the call."
ed. Arrangements with :the railways
have been made, so that delegates can go
and return at one fare.

IN HIS address to • the county ' council
last week, Warden Johnston.: referred' to
the necessity.of a Poor House being erect -
cd, Suppoit'ng the idea by iiifcr.nation he
had personally gathered from the Water.
loo Poor House: It is altogether like]y
that next year's council will be urged tp.
deal with this matter, and they should;
without any further. ,loss of time take some
decisive steps in.thematter.
THE editor of the Blyth, Review :does
not know quite as intich as be thinks he
does. Last week the ;$1owat'Government_
fell under his:displeasure, because of, the
appointment of Judge .loms,°.te the Se
vier Judgeship. Mr. Mowat bad' no'niore
to dowith the appointment thamwe.had,
simply because it was made.. by -tare ,Do-
minioy Government„ As the Revieivis a
.supporter of the latter, we`: presume the
editor thereof -will eat hie own 'Words .' and

himself for his foolish -nests.

for the appointment, of Sir John A. as the
next Gove nor,General, is like many more
of their utterances, without a'• particle', of
foundation. Not a siugle.Reform paper
has advocated' such a thing, and .for very
good reasons. The position. requires a
man of uprightness and honor, and: even
his own friends do not claim these virtues
for the premier..., Resides?, the _British

1a is often amusing to hear, some men
who know-nothing practically en the sub-
ject, prate about hownewspapers should,
be run. A Hamilton minister thi i.l s. the
daily papers; should have more religious
news and less secular,`and the papers that
he tenders this advice to aro._supposed' to
make` a change which, w'e`believe `�would `be
decidedly beneficial, and that is, to increase'
the size of their fields, and thereby decrease
the cost of fencing. A twenty acre field is
much easier to cultivate than two: ten -acre
fields. The main objection against en
largening fields, is, in the. matter of pas-
turing, and this could be overcome by hav:
inga cheap portable fence,. wherewith to
divide fields .where necessary.
The cartoon inlast week's Grip was a
very striking one indeed Manitoba, in
the shape of a female, stands du a scaffold,:
about to be hung: The • rope, is labelled
disallowance, whilo she.. is blindfolded,
withhands and feet tied, and labelled
monopoly.`` Mr. Norquay, as the minister
administering the last sad rites, is reading
from the Winnipeg Times; in justification
of: the. act; ;while Sir John, as hangman,
expresses sorrow, that it must be perform_

piece of impertinence. Editors are always-
willing to receive practical stiggestione,bot
to ask theme to turn a secular paper into
a religious one is to ask them to do that

Clinton does iiot support two -newspapers,
its claims to the county town fall to the
ground. If the argnu eat ie. worth. any-
thing, then it knocks the claims of Gode=
