We are requested-to state that the North Victoria reform association will meet in Dickson’s hall, Fenelon Falls, on Wednesday, Feb. 11, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the provincial reform convention to be held in Toronto on the 17th and 18th, and for the trans- action of other business. A full attend- ance is requested. THE PROPOS D HOUSE OF REFUGE. At ameeting of the Lindsay Board of Trade on last Monday night a resolution was unanimously passed approving of the course so far pursued by the county council of Victoria. respecting the estab- lishment of a house of refuge for indigent persons. The report of the committee appointed by that body is very favorable, showing the advantages, both in a humanitarian as well as in a pecuniary point of view, of having a. suitable buildâ€" ingerected in an eligible situation as a home for those among us who are unhap- pily without a home of their own. In every community the poor and infirm are tobe found, and no one with a feeling heart an deny that these ought to be cared for and not left to wander about as destitute mendicants. A plain, spacious building, erected on a plot of land of fifty acres or more, is all that 13 required for such an institution, and here the inmates could not only find a retreat but could cultivate the land and raise many of the supplies required for their home. They want also to be able to say that while able to work they were not actually living upon public charity. There are many destitute persons in . th town and county. Even the . est village has often some person or needing public assistance. and it I be a satisfaction to all charitably dis ... to know that ahouse of refuge will . be provided for infirm men, poor andhttle children ingreatneedof « ~ . and protection.

Stepehaveheen tskenbytheexecutive committeeof the South Victoria reform associationto call a convention of dele- gates and all friends of the came in Lind- say. on Saturday, Jan. 31st, for the purpose of naming delegates to the pro- vincial convention in Toronto. The meet- ing will be held in the reform committee rooms, in Hamilton’s hall. Nodoubttherewillbealargoattendance, not only of delegates but of all friends and supporters of the reform cause. This ridingshould and no doubt will send a arge delegation. There will be reduced railway rates. We cannot do better than reprint the following from the Globe of Monday; “_Ithas been decided that the convention of the hberals of Ontario shall be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 17 and 18. The Auditorium has been selected as the place of meeting. This hall is well suited for the purpose and has accommodation for between 2,000 and 2,500 persons. All over the province the announcement of the convention has been received with enthusiasm. The idea has the hearty approval of the liberal press, already a number of conventions have been called for the selection of dele- gates, and everywhere reformers are ex- hibiting a keen interest in the coming event. At once delegates should be selected from every municipality in the province. Every district must be fully represented at the convention. The best possible arrangements will be made for the accommodation of the delegates. Mr. Preston, the energetic secretary of the provincial reform association, is pushing the arrangements with vigor, and he will be heartily assisted by the Toronto reform association and the young men’s liberal club. February 17 and 18, 1891, pro- mise to be among the most notable days in the history of the liberal party in Ontario.” THE RECIPBOCITY QUESTION. It seems probable that suggestions for the opening of reciprocity negotiations between Canada and the United States have recently been made and are likely“ to be acted upon. Whether these sug~ gestions emanated from Ottawa or from Washington is of little moment just now. The main point is that there is good reason to look for the appointment of a joint commission to consider the question as practical, reasonable business men. This is what the liberals have all along been earnestly advocating, and though tory ministers and organs have been vig- orously opposing and condemning the policy as ruinous and unpatriotic it would surprise no one to see them make the "sharp turn” and boldly advocate reci- procity. If they do so too suddenly Mr. Fairbairn might resign in disgustâ€"and then again he might not. The Washing- ton correspondent of the New York Herald makes an interesting statement as to the origin of the present movement : Washington, Jan. 15.-â€"The statement made from the Toronto Mail of yesterday that the home government has very re- cently been urging reciprocity upon the Dominion ministry is understood here to be authentic. Such a renewed pressure. I am told. would very naturally result from the strenuous opposition made by the government of Canada to the effort of the authorities of Newfoundland to arrange a. reciprocity treaty with this coun trv on the basis of givinga preferential position to products of the United States imported into that colony. The colonial secretary, Lord Knutsford. saw at once the impracti- cability of harmonizing the Britishcolonial system and policy with an arrangement that would put Canada, a sister colony to Newfoundland, in the position of a least favored nation by comparison with the United States, an alien country. But in disallowing the projected American Newfoundland treaty of recipro city because ‘~rr. Blaine would offer or accept no terms that did not close the markets of Newfoundland to Canadian nroducts that com ted with those of the United States, 0rd Knutsford took occasion again to remind the government of Canada that the true solution of this and every other difficulty was the establish ment of fair trade between Canada and her American neighbor. It is explained by an informant that the occasion for imperial pressure upon Ottawa does not arise out of any coldness on the part of Si!- John v’acdonald and his colleagues towards reciprocity with the United States as a commercial policy for Canada, but that the political fortunes of the iiiacdonald ministry are so bound up with powerful manufacturing interests demanding protection against American competition that Sir John has not thus far been able to furnish the home government with a plan of reciprocity that the foreign office has been willing to proposeto the state department. â€"_ SDITOTEIAL NOTES. Mr. Georgethe conservative M. RR for North Bruce has been unseated forcorrupt acts; and judgment has been given in the Hamilton case against Mr. Stinson (conservative) but reserving a. technical point for ornament. It is admitted that Mr. Stinson will be unseated. Gov. Hill has been elected senator from New Yolk in place of Mr. Evarts, whose term expires next March. This is one of the results of the democraticvictory, and clears the way for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland as the presidential candidate. unless the western silver craze stands in the way.

East Durham: George Campbell, conserâ€" vative equal righter; T. B. Collins, conservative. Prof. Shaw at the Williamstown farmers institute said what we have often advanced in these columns that the four avenues most open to increase in agricultural pro- duction were beef-making, cheese production, mutton production and butter-making. Each of these industries may easily be doubled, which means that the beef trade could be made to bring in from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 annually. and the cheese trade could be made to bring us at least $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 annually. The Ottawa Free Press says: “What the average champion of trade restriction does not know about the poultry trade would fill an immense volume. For some weeks the tory papers have been trying to persuade the farmers that the tremendous decline in the prices paid for turkeys and geese, as compared with those paid last year, is attributable to a decline in the value of poultry in the United States. Not afact or a figure can they give in support of their assertions. There has been no decline in the prices paid for turkeys and geese in the United States since last year. A letter received on Saturday by Mr. Mark Haig, one of the largest poultry dealers in Ottawa, from Mr. William Aitcheson, the proprietor of a large poultry farm at Madrid, N.Y., twenty miles from Ogdens. burgh says : “Last year turkeys sold here for twenty cents per pound; in Boston they brought twenty-three cents. Here they brought eighteen cents a pound this year and seventeen last year. Chickens sold high in Boston this year. Last year ducks so 6. here for 12% cents per pound. This year they brought thirteen and fourteen cents. We know nothing about geese.” Mr. Haig says that he has not paid more than nine cents ‘per pound for turkeys this year and has sol at ten cents per pound. These facts prove beyond question that the low prices received for poultry by Canadian farmers this year are due to the trade re- striction policy. If we had reciprocity the Canadian farmers would receive the same prices as those obtained by poultry raisers in New York state. _ What a Somerset (2a.) County Man thinks of the Invalfda' Hotel and Surgical Institute. located a: Bufl'alo. Int. W. H. Miller of Stoyestown, Pa., who has been suffering for nearly a quarter of a century from an aflectlon of the kidneys, renting in the necessity for a surgical operation, after consulting and being treated by a number of our own doctors, as well as receiving the treatment and advice of some of the most eminent pro- fessional men of the land, finally became acquainted with the above Institute, and their mode and means of treatment After one correspondence with the World’s Dls- pensary Medical Association, the proprie- tors of the Invallds' hotel, he was induced to visit said institution. “On arriving .here and after being fully acquainted with the abundant means they possess, he lost no time in making the necessary ar- rangements for the rcqulred treatment. After remaining for nearly four weeks at he Invalidâ€"J Bezel, where you receive the kindest and best treatment, and where patients are late to leave, after recovery. he return-«d to his family and friends a cured and happy man. In giving due to the public, Mr. Miller wishestosey that he owes the ole esald Instltme nothing but his best wishes. And the fact that his own success and great relief is due to similar testimonials from ohers who were successfully treated there for all manner of chronic diseases from every S.ete and Territory of the Union, Canada, Mexico and South Ameri- ca. It ls a marvel of success. He further snyv, should this {all to the notice of any «uft‘ rec from chronic diseases, such as seem to bums the skill of your own physi- clsn- but first and above all give your own puyslcfansa fair and im carnal irlslnmd all the available means off-red. an Somerset county may justly feel proud of her medical men, who spare no means nor time in lh! treatment of all cases entrusted to their charge.
