A Big Reform Convention.
.1,1s a result of a conference of the
leaders of the Reform party, it has been
decided to hold a Convention of the
Liberal party of Ontario at Toronto,
early in February, the exact date of
which will be made known shortly. This
I
step -has become desirable in view of the
neaa approach of the general elections
for the House pf Commons, and the ex-
pedtency of strengthening and consoli-
detihg the Liberal organizetions in the
different Provinces of the Dominion. It
is suggested that every Reform Associa-
tionlehala send representatives, so that
ther43 shall be at least ten from each
Ring, and as many more as may be
- I
deemed expedient. Arrangements will
f be i ade with the -Railway Companies
for , pecial rates, of which due notice
will alma be given. This should be one
of the largeit, as it will no doubt ase

meeti'ngs ever held in this province, and on
the oonclusi us arrived at there, will be

Alnitiost t4,c5 Good to be True.
In its leadiag editorial article onWed-
nesdai last the Toronto Mail makes the
following very important statement :
"It is reported from Ottawa, on
authority which leaves little reason to
doubt that the 'rumour is true, that the
Imperial Government is urging the Do-
minion Ministers to unite in a proposi-
tion to arrangej all the matters in dis-
pute between anada and the ' United
States on the b sat of a wide measure, of

en the correspondence on
this subject is produced, as it may be at
the coming or next ensuing session of
Parliament, it will be found that this
etatement of t e attitude of Lord -Salis-
bury is correc ." This statement is al-
most too good to be true. If it be cor-
rect, however there is little doubt but
Commercial R ciprocity will be an ac-
complished fact before many months
pass around. it is scarcely possible
that our Government will refuse to as-
sent to the imperative 'behest of the
British autho4ties. But even if they
do, it will not make any difference in
the end to the final result, although it
would be the Means uf driving them
from: office. he general elections are
close: at. hand. Let it be once
knowin that the United States are will-
ing ta grant and England is anxious that
we saould accept Commercial Recipro-
city With our neighbors, and elo geaern-
ment or party in Canada could refuse to
assent,and live The two most effective
argurnents use against ConimercialReci-
procity by its opponents are,firsathatthe
United States will not grant it even if
asked, and sec nd, that such an arrange-
ment if entere into would discriminate
against the hcther country. If the
Mains s-tatem4it is correct, both these
objections are bow likely to be removed.
This accompli bed, Canada would be al-

muster would aot be sufficient to stem
the rolling torrent; while even party
allegiance would be lost sight of

Toronto contemporary may be
"too previous.;" but time will te

at our does not soundaihuch like the talk of an
little Annexationist, does it ?—Grip.

About the Size of11.
Mr. Plimsoll, the English me ber of
Parliament and philanthropist, , or the
"sailor's friend," as he is .giMera,tly
known, does not take 'mach steak in
thea' old flag"!argument so much used.
-in some quarters in this country. Before
leaving the commission of enquiry in
Montreal, to which we referred last
week, he delivered a short addrese; in
the course of which he made the follow-
ing remarks:
"Some people who have sp ken t nie
assume that the reason why ,Canadiaa
cattle are admitted in Engl nd while
other cattle are excluded - s• because
Canada is a British • eolony, because
Canada is loyal. I don't wish to be dis-
agreeable, but I think it is simply be-
cause 'Canadian cattle are, or are sup-
posed to be, free from contagious disease
-nothing else. The safety of or Eng-
lish heads- is the thing considereld."
Mr. Plansoll Ds right. - It is not setatii
ment but business that induces the peo-
ple of the mothers country to! trade
with Canadians. They don't buy from
us because we are - Cenadians and live
under the benign --shadow of the old
flag, but because they can buy from tie
to better advantage than they/ can buy
from any :person else. They wlill not
give a fraction of a cent more for is
Canadian- aullock than they will far a
Yankee one unless they. think it is werth
it, and they wilt take j ciattas great pleas-
ure in bleeding a Canuck raithey getIthe
chance, as they would a Cflinatnen or a
Hottentot. And, as Mr. Plimsoll says,
they would schedule Canadian cattle just
as quickly as they would the cattla of
any other country if they had any sus-
picion they were diseased. This being
tbe case, all this talk about the old flag
is just so much drivel, and is used only
for political purposes. But, for all this,
a good many good people are being fool=
ed by it. Mr. Plimsoll's head is equally
level on the question of Protection. Ia
ail address on another occasion he is Fe-
portecil as saying:
"No one in Britain ever dreams of
protection.' The people would not
have it on any account. It is like ty-'
ing one hand and one leg and then
expecting to be able to do as much work
as a man with his limas at liberty. If
the British Parliament restrict or pro-
hibit the landing of live cattle froth
across the Atlantic it will purely be as a
matter of humanity, iand not with a
view to protection., If the trade in
live cattle ceases your people will' speed-
ily adopt the most approved means of
sending us beef in carcases."
WHILE we in Canada have been 'en- .
joying an unusually mild and agreeable
winter, the people ac‘pes the Atlantic,
who are much less accustomed to mid
than we are, have been suffering from
very cold, severe weather and a great
deal of snow. In England, Fiance,
Germany and even Italy, the snow fall
has been sufficiently heavy to seriously
interrupt traffic on the railwaya, while
navigation has been impeded by ice,
something which is said to be unprece-
dented. In countries where people are
not accustomed to such weather, are not
expecting it, anerconsequently are not
prepared for it, the motit intense, suffer-
ing, especially,among the poorer 'classes,
is the inevitable result. People are not
only sufferiog from the cold but in many
places are, in addition, destitute on
account of the works in which they were
engaged being suspended in consequence
of the cold and inclement. weather. The
present winter is one which will long be
remeMbered in many European coun-
tries.

IN REFERRINO to Hon. Mr. Foster's
recent trip to the West India Islands to
seek outtnew markets for 'Canadian pro -
_i
duets, Grip reinarks : We can't quite
elope oudeyes to the fact that both going
and coming Mr. Foster passed tight by
thefdoor of our near neighbor, Uncle
Saha without s much as a glance at
that worthy, who is able to do more
trading with us in an -hour than all the
W -eat Indies can do in a year. Why,
our Uncle has fifty or a hundred cities,
any one of which contains as large a
population as the whole island of Jsma-
ica. And, notwithstanding McKinley
and the handful of desperate, fat -frying
eorruptionists who are for the moment
in charge of American affairs, Samuel is
as willing as he is able to trade. If Mr.
Foster had been the emissary of a Gov-
ernment gifted with common sense, he
aould aave accomplished more for the
manufacturers, farmers and people gen-
erally of Canada, and at less cost in
money and wind, by visiting Washing-
ton, than he has been able to do in the
tropics, whatever his success may
i
amount to. 1

Ccnious MAN, this Erastus Wiman.
He is an Annexationist, you know.
The anti -reciprocity papers keep saying
so, and it must be true. We have seen
it in cold type severel times that the
one object of Wiman's life is to bring
about a political union between Canada
and the States. And yet he goes on do-
ing things that cannot be easily recon-
ciled with this view of him. Here, for
instance, in the current number of the
North American Review we find an
article signed " Erastus Whiten "-the
very same, identical man, no doubt -in
which the people of the United StatesI
are told that the Canadians not only do
not favor annexation, but that they are
most bitterly and determinedly opposed
to it, and are likely to remain so for
generations yet. Furtherreore, he goes
on to point out that it would be tee
basest sort of traiterism for tbe Cage -
diens( to desert the Union Jack for the
Stare and Stripes, as Great Britain has

poplar soprano of Glasgow, A touch•
ing incident in connection with Madame
Stewart's closing hours was her pathetic
singing of th 3 Jld Scotch song, "The
Bonnie, Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond."
THREE .DEATIIS FROM COAL GAS. -A
terrible accident happened at the Mo-
reuil Hospital, Paris, France, on Tues•
day of last iweek. Seven old women
were sleeping in the same roym in which
a heated stove was placed. A Sister of
Mercyentered the room and found three
of them suffocated, and the others were
restored to life with the greatest diffi-
culty. The fatality was _probably due
to a defective ventilation of the stove.
MADE HIS ESCAPE IN A TRUNK --
George Ohnsteinesaid to be an adept in
the bogus diamond racket, worked the
city or St. Louis pretty thoroughly last
week. He would approach a citizen at
night and pretend to have stolen dia-
monds in his possession'which he would
offer to sell at temptingly low prices, de-
claring thet he could not wait for pawn-
shops to open. The police were hunting
for him and it bees.nie necessary to make
a hasty exit. All the outgoing trains
were carefully watched, So Ohnstein,
who is a little man, bought a big trunk,
had himself locked heat, and was check-
ed through to Indianapolis. He wrote
back to a friend that he arrived all
right after e rough trip. !
SHEDS HIS SKIN LIKE A SNAKE. -
Dr, Jacolalarank, of Chicago, reported a
remarkable ease of skin disease at the
regular meeting of the Chicago Medical
Society. It was of a men aged 33 years,
who once's year since las birth has shed
his skin in orthodox snake fashion. Dr.
Frank discovered the case last July at
St. Elizabeth' Hospital. It nonplussed
him and he balled Dr. Zeisler, a skin
specialist, for consultation. After much
study they arrived at the ccinclusion
that it was a case of erythema scarletina
forma, recurrent. Dr. Frank exhibited
casts of the man's feet and hands and
big plates of the cuticle from his trunk.
After shedding his shell it is the pa-
tient's custorri Ito wear his casts as Moc-
casins and gloves until the new skin is
strong enough to endure wear.
RUSSIAN HATRED OF THE HEBREWS.
villageof Jews in Russia are
being depopulated on the pretense that
they are within forbidden distante of
the frontier, and in some instances the
villages are not really within the 50
versts. A Jewish father has been fined
becauseahis aim did not appear for con-
scription, the son having died when an
infant many years before. The estates
which the Jews are compelled to aban-
don are being obtained by land specu-
lators for a mere song. It is said I that
the letter of the Czarina to the Princess
,of Walea earpestly advises, as 'a matter
of pruden e and in the interest of hu-
manity, ' nglish non-interference in
Russia's plicy toward the Jews.
AN IM ,ORTANT DISCOVERY. - Brad-
ford McGregor, a mechanical expert, of
Cincinnati, has suceeeded in uniting
aluminum with glass'and he claims to
be the first tvho has done so. A large
piece of the aluminunawith a glass tube
in the centre, was turned, in his lathe
and it was impossible to detect the slight
flaw or joint where they -ane together;
in fact it appeared as one solid masa
Heretofore no metal could be made to
unite with glass in which the contraction
and expansion were the same, and it
claimed that that will create a revolution
in the way of reducing the cost of incan-
descent lightsi as it will take the place
f platinum, Iwhich costs $320 a pound,
while the new discovery will net cost
DEOLY PIWIT OvER-A GIRL. - De-
tails of a disgraceful riet, which may
result in tae death of five men, have
reached English, Indiana,- from West
Fork, seven miles distant.- Four ifam-
ilies were represented in the riot, an
pistols, stones and kniveg were freely
used, and a ' dozen., or more men are
hurt. One of the Wiseman boys had
been paying attention to young woman
of the neighborhood fori several years,
and several other yourig men had be-
come incensed because he monopolized
her sectety. On Sunday night last
they; all met at the Wes Fork Church
and engaged in a wordr war over the
girl, The disturbance 'compelled the
