ADDING COSTS TO INJURr.— 'Readers of the Review will remem- ber that last December Mr. Johu 'Wray had a very narrow escape from death at Gordon's crossing. As it was, the sleigh he rode in, having stuck on the track, was run into by the train and smashed to pieces. On Friday Mr. Wray was tried before Magistrate Barker on a charge of obstructing the railroad track, and was committed to stand his trial. He was bailed out and will likely be tried before His Honor Judge Kingsmill, sometime this month. --Kincardine Review. CLINTON LIBERAL CONSERATIVES met in the Orange hall last Wedneu- day. A Large number'were present. A. M. 2'odd was elected president, Peter Cooke vice-president, W. S. Swafield secretary, Thos. John- ston treasurer. It was the largest meeting of the kind we ever saw in Clinton and the hearty proffers of of support to Sir John A. Macdon- ald and British connection augurs well for the return of Mr. Robert Porter to support both. REITs To THE RESCUE.— r. John Reith, of Heneall, is out with an address to the electors of South Huron. We have received copy of it but too late for insertion this week. He comes out as an Independent Reformer, on the platform of "Tice Bible," "Prohibition" and "Protest- antism." He appeals to Roman Catholics to support him against John McMillan and Infidelity. Mr. Reith takes a high moral and relig- ions stand and will endeavor to run John McMillan to earth. He is after him hot and strong. John Mo. Millan will have to hump himself if he expects to get "thar." OMINOUS.—Thursday the Clinton delegation rig, hound fur Dungan- non and the Reform Convention, called at the Commercial to take mine host along. As it was starting off again oue of our shoe merchants was seen hurrying along to get aboard. He "helloed," the by- standers "helloed" also. The rig started. The belated delegate got on the run. The more he "helloed" at the retreating vehicle the faster the horses seemed to go. He lifted his "walkenfaate" as merrily as though ho were keeping time to the moat lively and objectionable terpsichorean music. But it was no go. }Ie kept up the rape until he saw the team disappear beyond the railway crossing. The "Tories" who noticed the affair remarked that this Grit delegate had got left about as badly as rho Grit party would get left on the 5th of March. Asti. S.

Commercial union means annexation to Uncle Sam, and a want of confidence in the English markets. Reciprocity of trade in natural products moans prosperity to Canada, no poll tax, and liber- ty to trade with the outside world, Canadians must not be bound down hand and foot to trade for wooden nutmegs and basswood hams. Let us have a little say in our trade with the Mother country and not hand it over into the hands of the Yankees. Mr. Porter will speak at this place on Saturday next 21st at 7.30 p. in. John McMillan of South Huron will be present in the interest of Ananias. Bills Green. Politics are the talk of the day. Mr. Shay, foreman of the G. T. R. saw -mill, was in Petrolia on bus- iness last week. Mr. William Baker and family, ,formerly of Blake, have removed to this village. Mr. Baker intends working fur Mr. Shay. A pulitical meeting was held in the town hall last week. Petitions for prohibition are be- ing circulated in this vicinity. Quite a number have already ap• pended their names. The Rev. Mr. Irvine preached a sermon on prohibition, on Sunday last. The attendance at the Sabbath School Convention held here on Tuesday last was only fair for the morning and afternoon sessions. The attendance in the evening was all that could be desired. Two of the tninisters through unavoidable causes, were unable to attend. At the close of the meeting it was de- cided to unite this branch with the Stanley,Hay and Tuckersmith Asso- ciation.

H e will. give hie brother Doctor an allopa- thio dose that will forever cure him of any desire to again enter the field as an annexationist. Fair trade, fair markets, fair tax ation, and fair play with all tate world ie the policy of the Conserva- tives. No diseriminatioti against any country ; especially no discrim• inatiou aganinst Britain our best customer. 0 no, we are not to cotue un der the American eau if the Grits sheuld succeed at the polls and afterward parry out their policy of unrestrict- ed reciprocity. Hear what the New York Tribune says, _a journal which is "nearer to the administra- tion at Washington than any other American journal" and only equal- ed by the Torouto Globe in its know- ledge of the views of that administra- tion toward Canada. The Tribune says :—"Thia nation has not the slightest notion of allowing Canada to open a back door as wide as it may please while tariff enactments by the United Stated are closing the front door against sundry int portatious at New York and Bos- ton." Mr. Whiten the father of unres- tricted reciprocity or commercial union defiuea the scheme :—"My idea of the operations of a Commer- cial Union is that, by concurrent legislation, a uniform tariff should be adopted both by the Congress of the United States and the Domin— ion Parliament of Canada. That Canada should agree to always have the same tariff as the United States, and the same system of internal revenue. That this tariff should be administered by a joint commission, of which the majority should, of course, rest with the United States. That the duties collected at the ports of the United States and in Canada should be precisely the 8hme." That Commercial Union means annexation we have only to pro- duce Mr. Wimnn's own words' :— "It is Just possible that, inasmuch as the measure enacting Commercial Union proposes that English goods should he taxed and American goods admitted free, the Imperial Government tnight disallow the tneasure. Then the case would neem so hopeless to thinking Cana- dians that there would be an im- mediate and rapid growth in the Annexation sentiment, and more would be done by that Act of dis- allowance to sever the tie which binds Canada to Great Britain than almost anything else that could occur ! !" We hear a good deal frotn the Grit Party about the political clap trap of Sir John A. when he speaks of loyalty and of his desire to die as he has lived a "British Subject," Is it political clap trap? Is there no truth in the assertion that the Grits are traitorous to the British Crown 1 Are they loyal subjects of HerMajes- ty Queen Victoria 1 Well, if they. are their's is a strange Bort of loyalty. What would be thought of a Ger- man who would publicly announce that he was in favor of his Father- land being annexed to or becom- ing part of France ! He would be promptly put in gaol, and rightly too. What aro the facts? We have prominent Grits in this town of Clinton who have stated withot't reservation, and who will repeat it if called upon, that their desire is to see this fair country of ours annexed to the U. S ! And many more would say the same if they had the pluck to say what they think. So Sir. John A. is not so far wrong after all. When we have this kind of pentons in our midst it is time we called a spade a spade. In Saturday's Globe there is an article relative to the price of bar- ley, calling the attention of the farmer to the value of barley in Can- adian cities and Buffalo. The in- ference d:awn is purely Grit in it's nature,Put us into power and we will get you Unrestricted Reciprocity, and the difference in values hence. forth will be paid into the pockets of the Canadia }' farmers. What a gullible fool the Globe thinks the Canadian farmer must be to swallow such mendgoity. Is not the Grit party approaching the electors with alba in their right hand. Put us in power and we will give you Un• reetriotefiReciproeity,, They might as well protuiaa theta the m9en, The Grit Party know that they are promising something, they can never give. Nothing short of annexation will tempt the U, $. to give us com- plete control of their markets, and this is something the large majority of the electors of ibis British .colony the Grits will discover on Marsh 5th, are not prepared to give. They have net yet reached the desperate con-. dition of Esau who for a morsel of meat sold his birthright, Bishop O'Brien, of Halifax, holds that there are times when he should use his influnce in public questions. He says : " The interest of the country and the fond,proud love of his country find a place in the heart and engage the attention of the true priest. Were he a traitor to his country and to ite social intonate he would be unfit to minister at God's altar. Hence, should a can didate for Parliament advocate, say unrestricted reciprocity, and should it prelate conscientieuely believe that to be the first step towards an- nexation—should he have good reasona to believe that its promoters had that result in view, namely, to destroy our fair Canadian nation- ality, and to make of this country the battling ground of carpetbag- gers and traitore,.should ho not ad- vise, exhort, entreat, aye, command, his people, who naturally could not see as far as he, to vote against such candidate?" HON. EDWARD BLAKE'S RETIREMENT. There is a great mystery surround • ing the letter in which Hon. Ed- ward Blake announced to the elec- tors of West Durham hie intention of retiring from public life. All re• porters save,the representative of the Globe were excluded from the con- vention while the letter was being read, and when read it disappeared. The Globe reporter heard it read ; and the Globe,announcea that it was a short letter, simply announcing Mr. Blake's intention to retire. Hon. Edward Blake was asked for a copy of the letter by the Ern- ,pire and refused point blank. Now, if it was a s'. ort, little, let- ter, simply decling the nomination and announcing an intention of re- tiring from public life on account of ill health, why all this mystery 1 Why any necessity for conceal. went. The plain fact of the matter is that the story told by the Globe and' told to the other reporters is not true. The letter was a lengthy doc- ument, and Hon. Edward Blake in it expressly stated that he was retir- ing from public life because ho could not support the preaent policy and follow the present leaders of the Re- form party. This the Empire is informed by a ge,utleman who was a belegate to the convention and heard the let- ter read. ONE OF MANY. On another page we give the opinion of an ex editor the Globe denouncing the present course of that journal and the policy of Sir Richard Cartwright. Mr. Thomson is one of many old time Reforiners who are being abused by those who have set the policy of the party up against the interests of the people. Mr. Thomson explains: SIC.—By way of impugning mytnotivee, it is, I ant infomed'on trustworthy author- ity, being privately alleged: (1) that I was discharged from the position of political writer on the Globe; (2) that 1 am in the pay of Sie John Macdonald. Moth statements are unqualified lies. I resigned the position of ahief editorial writer of the Globe for stated mations closely connected 'with the matters that I have discussed in thin campaign. For soy signed political letters I have not received, nor been promised, one penny, and I have refused to take the ply ordinarily given to contributing journalists. For such work I neither re- ceive, a-ek, nor desire any m atcrial or pecuniary reward whatever. My whole purpose and molive is to do what little I can in what I conceive a public duty. It does not appear to me that the fact that I wrote as a journalist for 12 years, and always for the Liberal' party, debars me from the right of other citizens to express signed or personal opinions pub- licly.
