Mr. Laurier for a Dominion reform convention at Ottawa in J une has been very cordially and generally accepted and approved. There has long been a widely spread desire that a Dominion convention should be held, and Mr. Laurier's action is wise and timely. Mr. Laurier’s circular states that the' convention shall be composed of lib; eral members of parliament and defeated candidates for parliamentary honors, with five delegates from each electoral division; that is, we presume the convention proper will be confined to such properly chosen delegates, but all good reformers and friends of the reform policy will be cor- dially welcomed. As the convention is to be held in June steps should be taken at an early day to elect five delegates each from South and North Victoria. We do not suppose it will be necessary for that purpose to go to the trouble and expense of calling a formal riding convention, unless a conven- tion is desirable or necessary for the tran- saction of other business. A gathering of the riding and township executives, the leading convention elected officers and the township officers, would probably accomplish the purpose. We merely throw out the suggestion with the view of calling out an expression of opinion in order that satisfactory action may be taken at an early day. Our personal preference is for a full convention of the reform electors to select the delegates,but it might not be convenient at this season to or“ such a githering. Perhaps some names might be suggested (of those who could go) and then take a plebiscite through the columns of THE POST, and send the five receiving the most votes. Editors of reform papers are by Mr. Laur~ ier’s judi:Zous invitation made members of the convention, we might say “ex- oficio,”_to use a phrase that our friend Peter “K", of the Berlin News, has made famous. All the indications point to a very large convention. Its deliberations will be of grait importance at this stage of our his- tory, in view of the economic and financial problems that have to be solved. We trust our reform friends in this county will see to it that the county bearing the name of our beloved Queen will send to the capital a strong,able and representative delegation. Tarilf reform will no doubt be the all- nbiorbinz question at the convention. Upon this question the liberal party are al. ready pledged to a sound, advanced and decide! course. Tariff reform will be the guest issue of the next contest. The Dominion ministers are deeply concerned at the outlook. They have been consult. hagâ€"whom? the farmers and taxpayers and commos of the country nstofhcir nocdssndsstcthemcssure of relieffrom taxes they require? No, of course not. They have been consulting insect-ct the Miss- of Montreal and the rod p... lor comm of Toronto, and they have been told what everybody predicted, considcsid M an :m industry” that would perish if it did not receive continued pap and protection. Why were these “consultations” held in secret? Why were not the meetings thrown open to the world? The reason is obvious. It would never do to let the common multi- tude know what combinsters wanted; but the people will have to pay the increased taxes all the same. The farmers and others will have to grin and bear it; they will have to sweat and toil, and get no COMME BCIAL NEW S. Omen or Tun CANADIAN Poor. } Luvpsar. May 10. 1393.

EDITORIAL NOTES. The German armyTnl, upon the passage [ of which Kaiser William had set his heart. has been rejected by a decisive majority- a vote of 210 to 162 -and the reichstag has been dissolved. The turmoil of a bitter efection will follow, but the imperialists and military cause will probably prevail in the long run, as their opponents are divid ed into several section. The young ladies of Uxbridge are “up to snufl’ ' and have formed an “anti-slang society." They are prepared to “bet their boots"that they will be as perfectas prunes and prism in their conversation; and in their high aims at “culchaw” and improve- ment they are determined to “get there with both feet.” and that is saying a great deal. New Lindsay girls have an occasion to “come off the perch” a1 la Uxbridge. They “take the bun" every time in conversation and intellectually, as well as in other attractions. Mr. Gladstone is now pushing the heme bill through committee against the bitterly obstructive tactics of Balfour,Chamberls.in and other torv leaders. Col. Saunderson, the fiery Ulster M. P., enriched the debate on an amendment of the first clause re- affirming the supremacy of parliament in local as well as imperial matters, with the remark that the announcement was neces- sary to"curb the predatory propensities of the squalid Irish parliament.with a hungry executive floating in whiskey.” This seems rather personal. It would be termed course and abusive if made by one of the home rulers. The Mail sayszâ€"“Farmers generally will feel relief at the collapse of the cordage combine. These are troublesome times for the big trusts and it is to be hoped that everyone that goes under will stay under. Eighty per cent of the American ccrdage companies and some in Canada were controlled by the combine. The profits were said to be enormous. Not only were prices of cordage forced up. but the combination effected a reduction in the cost of raw material. Thus the farmers were injured in two ways. Some un- expected calls by the banks pricked the bubble, and now the speculators who were building ces at the public expense are crushed, to earth under the ruins. Natural laws right wrongs with which human laws fail to grapple.” _ TO THE LAND OF THE KANG'A- 300. If further proof is required that the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY has the interest of its patrons as well as the progress of Canada at heart. it will be found in the fact that they have inaug- urated a new steamship service between Vancouver, B. C.. and Sydney, New South Wales. with arrangements for stop-over at the intermediate ports of Honolulu, Sand- wich Islands, Brisbane, Queensland. The passage will take twenty-one days each way in the steamships Miowera and Warrimoo, which are of 5,000 tons burden, and steam at an average of fifteen knots an hour. with a capacity of 125 cabin passengers each. The Miowera is booked to leave Vancouver, June 14th. _ , As a guarantee that the voyage will be made as comfortable and attractive as possible itis only necessary to look at. their other efl'orts in the providing of steamship accommodation both on the Padiflc Ocean and the Great Lakes. which stand out fore- most in the world.
