THEI DAILY

Che Daily Examiner NOVEMBER 20, 1885. A Week After.

A werk has elapsed siace it was ap- nounced that the smal!pox was in Char- lottetown. <A great deal has been done in that time, and public confidence has been to a large extent restored. Addi- tional cases may of course be expected ; but it is hoped that the prompt and energetic action of the Boards of Health in Souris, Summerside, Crapand and elsewhere, 2nd the good sense and pru- dence of the people will prevent tie spread of the infection beyond the sec- tions in which it now is. Persons who have avy grounds whatever for sus- pecting that they or members of their family have, accidentally or other- wise, been where the infection is, should, in the isterests of the city, voluntarily keep themeelves in, aud await develop- meuts. Better, a great deal, to remain completely isolated for a few days, than ron the risk of carrying the contagion into uniofected houses and districts. The houses quarantined sre, it is very pleasing to know, being supplied with everything needed. His Worship the Mayor, the Chairman of the Citizens’ Committee, the Rev. Mr. O'Meara, and the visiting physicians are systematically engaged in affordiog relief to those who are isolated and preveated from obtaiuing sspplies for themselves. The value of a good executive officer in the Mayor’s chair is now apparent more than ever it was in the history of the town; and we are bound to say that Mayor Beer is, in this crisis, doiog the duty well. Therefore itis not necessary for their friends or the public to hold communication with the infected families, or ruo any risk of spreading the disease.

In the week that is past, thousands of persons have been vaccinated, and they have thus barred the door against the disease. With *a continuance of the measures now being taken and no reck- less conduct on the part of infected persous, we may fairly hope that in auother week the disease will be preity weil confined to the hospital.

False Information. Tur Moncton Times publishes the following paragraph:

“A letter received from a Moncton gentleman yesterday, from P, K. Island, states that business is almost entirely suspended in the infected districts, The people are panic stricken, and many who are able to do sojare sending their families away.”

A Moncton despatch to the St. Sun says:

John

“Information received here is to the effect tha} the people of » Island are panic-stricken. Whole families are being sent to places of safety, and business is largely suspended.”

ie

To those who know from personai observation how calm and quiet the people of Charlottetown are, these re- ports seem very ridiculous. There is no panic here A few nervous persons were, no doubt, at first a litile too fear- ful ; but, while taking*every reasonable precaution against the disease, it is wonderful how well the people, asa whole, have borne themselves. Now that nearly every one is vaccinated, and the physicians believe that they have the disease well in hand

War in the East.

Tae Turkish Principalities in history are somewhat like the crater of a great voleano in nature. ‘They are always the seat of perturbation and fire; and ceca- sionally they burst out in a grand erup- tiovu,and shake the greatest nations of the world. Itis not to foretel what the little war raging there now will end in—whether the eruption will be but a slight oue, involving only the two petty states of Servia and Bulgaria .or one that will include iu its circle some of the great powers, that, possessing real or imaginary interests in the territory of the Sick Man, may deem them to be in danger and take upthe quarrel in their behalf.

—After all bis shamming and non- sense, Ricl went to his death like a mav. His fate onght to convey the

lesson to all born agitators that there is a point beyond which it is very danger- ous to go, and that an appeal to the sword is the last thing to be thought of.

The Seat of War.

The population of Bulgaria is extremely mixed. Of the whole about a million and a half consist of Bulgarians proper. Half a million are Osmali Turks. The Tartars number from 80,000 to 100 000, the Circas- sians from 70,000 to 9,000, the Albanians from 60,000 to 70,000, the Roumelians from 35,000 to 40,000, the Gipsies from 20,000 to 25,000, the Jews are about 10,000, the Armenians abont the same, the Greeks about 8,000, the Russians from 10,000 to 15,000, the Servians from 4 000 to 5,000, and there aro aiso @ few Germans Italians, Arabs, etc. Boaides the Bulgarians in the princi- pality to which they give their name, there are @ good many ecattered through the rest of the peninsula, from the Danube to the /Egean Of course, of these Eastern Roumelia has a large proportion. The Tatars of Bulgaria are emigrants from the Crimea who were permitted to leave that region after the Crimean war. They are said to be industrious and prosperous, The Citcassians are refugees from Russia, and are generally poor. The Turks, Tatars, Albanians and Circassians are mostly \.0- hammedans ; the Rowmanians, the Arme- Diens, and the majority of the 10,000 or 12,000 Russians are Ohristians of the Greek a ae tee are partly Mohai- P; » partiy and partly

oO,

THE SMALLPOX.

NEW OASES. From the cases reported yesterday, the following have developed, and orders were issued to have them taken out to the hospital:

Mr. Corney, Long Street. Mrs. Hugh Smith, (McNall’y Lane,) Pownal St. A son of Mr. Fred Ailing, Great George Street. NOT CASES.

Arthur Strong’s case is pronounced not smallpox, and the family have been re- leased from quarantine.

The Croak family also are pronounced free from infection,

SUSPBCTED CASES.

Two or three suspected cases were report- ed to-day; but until they are verified by the Health officer, such cases will not in future be registered in Tue ExaMINeER.

ANOTHER DEATH.

Miss Gunn, whose case was the most complicated of any in the hospital, died this forenoon. She belonged to this city. Her remains will be buried to-day.

CONDITION OF PATIENTS TO-DAY,

A boy and girlof the Thompson family are very ill, Thecase of Mr. Duncan’s child is reported progress ng favorably.

VACCINE POINTS,

Mr. George E. Hughes has been appoint- ed Agent for a reliable Vaccine Company in New York. He receives a fresh supply by mail daily. Allorders addressed to him at the Apothecaries Hall will receive prompt attention.

EASILY MISTAKEN IN THE EARLY STAGES.

A medical man writes :—‘‘ In the early stages, sinallpox may be confounded with other eruptive disease’, espec ally with measles, which disease its eruption in the lirst stages somewhat resembles. This mistake, however, can scarcely occur if the distinct characters of the constitutional symptoms of the diseases are kept in \ iew ; when the eruption has advanced a little there can be no eccnfusion.

“CHURCHES AND CHAPELS.

At a meeting of the Board of Health, held this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, ‘the following resolution was passed :

Resolved, That the Board of Heaith deeming it still necessary for the preservation of the public health of this city. thatits citizens should not at this time meet together for public worship.

Do Hereby Order, That ali Churches, Chapels and Sunday Schoolsin the City and Common be closed on Sunday next, the 22nd November, instant.

And Hereby Forbid, -The congregations of the peopie in such Churches, Chapels and Sunday Schools, and order all constables, if necessary, to prevent the same.

HOW THEY DID IT IN SOURIS.

A leading merchant writing from Souris shows t e effectual means they are taking at that place to prevent the spread of small- pox. He says: ‘‘We have to-day closed all the hotels and liquor places in Souris for the present. and have notified the railway, sc that during the next eight or ten days, or until cases that may be coming on “may be found out, we intend’to be very strict. We fined two men yesterday and imprisoned them for 12 days for a violation of our rules,and we to day, found a man the worse of liquor, (after warning. all the liquor dealers). We have found where he got the liquor, and to-morrow morning we will haul the dealer up and lay him out to dry for the next ten or twelve days. We have no new cases of smallpox, and the Welsh girl is progressing favorably. We are doing our living best to stamp out smallpox here and hope to aucceed.

NOTES. Dr. Conroy vaccinated the inmates of the poor Asylum to-day.

All trains arriving in Summerside are inspected by the Health Officer—Dr. Jarvis.

Drs. Bagnall and Robins have returned from the country where they have been vaccinating.

We learn that the doctors pronounce the disease of which Miss Larkin is suffering at Kensiz gton to be chicken pox, ;

A family named MeMillan, who reside on Long Street, moved after the smallpox scare to Brackley Point. Two ef the chil dren took ill yesterday and Dr. Jenkins was sent for. He pronounced the youngest of the two sick of smal!pox, and the other suffering from symptoms of the disease.

The yellow flag has been removed from the City Hotel, Great George Street. No disease existed there, but asa clerk in the Store of W. E. Dawson, Esq., boarded with Capt. Nicholson, the proprietor, the Board of Health thought it advisable to quarantine the hotel for a few days.

Iv wascurrenily reported that smallpox existed in the family of Mr. Phillip Foy, Queen Square. It is needless to say the report was incorrect, as the following cer- tificate will show :

CHARLOTTETOWN, Nov. 17, 1885.

I certify that I have inspected'the © board- ing house of Mr. Philip Foy, called Farmers Boarding House. The inmates are all heslthy and there is no suspicion of in: fectious disease.

J. T. Jenkins, Health Officer,

What a Fredericton Man Thinks of California.

A young gentleman, a na ive of Frederic- ton, N. B., who left here about nine months ago, and has since been travelling through different parts of the Wrstern States of late, has been at Los Angelos, in California, and in a private leiter to the writer, gives the following opinion of that Western country. He says :—“ Things are more than dull all over the lower part of California, and every man who has a dol- lar needs to reckon it as a hundred cents. The Southern Pacific Railway Company, by false representations, have induced so many to come here that everything is over- crowded. Plenty of people who came here with a little money, say up to $1000, were victimized by land agents, who gulled them out of their last dollar. One thing, I must say, for neat, strong and blasphemous lan- guage, these old Californians take the whole bakery. I thought I had heard and become even accustomed to the worst profanity, but the expressions I hear in this place every day make me tremble. The habit, however, is 60 general that no ous seems to pay any atfention to this vulgar Inn- guage.”

The Hxecution of Riel.

PRESS COMMENTS,

The Toronto Wor/d maintains editorially that Riel was justly condemned and ex- ecuted; that the French-Canadians who sympathize with him advertise themselves as unnecessary and unintelligent slaves of prejudice, and as men not fit to be entrust- ed with any position requiring breadih of view and firmness of touch, and that the Globe and those for whom it speaks have acted with shocking indecency in trying to get into power over Riel’s grave.

The Toronto Globe says: The whole of the Northwest trouble might have been prevented if Sir John Macdonald had not misgoverned the Northwest, and holds-him directly responsible for the rebellion, for the burnings, murders and loss of life in battle, for the waste of public resources and for the execution of Riel and the condemn- ed Indians. It adds that blood enough has been shed and that the sentence of the In- dians should now be commuted.

The Toronto Mail says Riel met his fate like a man of courage, not insane, and adds that had he taken Pere Andre’s advice a year agu it would have been well for him. Now that justice has been done, the excite- ment in Quebec appears to have suddenly ceased. The Rouge demagogues are still at work, but the good sense and patriotism of the people are not likely to be disturbed by their base appeals. In this province but one feeling prevails—a feeling of pity for the miserable man who had so grossly outraged the law that the exercise of execu- tive clemeucy in his case would have been a menace to public safety.

The Montreal Witness says: Whatever may remain to be said for or against Riel, no one can ever again reproach him as a coward. He met his fate with unquestion- able courage He seems to have been an ill-baianced enthusiast—one of a very dan verous so.t, who in more than one or two particulars, resembled in a weak way the talse prophet of the African Arabs, Like the Mahdi, he roused the religions enthusiasm of his followers without submitting to their Church, Like him, he claimed and imagin- ed himself to possess direct inspiration, which was, at times, of a kind better adapted to oriental gravity than to the western sense of the ludicrous. Wecan imagine an eastern prephet telling that vision of the bucket, and awaking none but the most profound religious feelings in his hearers. Like the Mahdi, his aspiration was to commence in an unheard of wilderness and gradually gather strength, till the Queen of England and the Pope of Rome would be shaken in their seats. The world was scarce large enough for his designs. The point of diffsrence was that, he had neither the ability nor the materials on which to base the first beginnings of success.

Le Courrier du Canada of Quebec takes a different view of Riel and his fate from that of most of its French contemporaries. It says that it would do injustice to its convictions if it did not ‘regret the exeou- tion under the actual circumstances, but it did not feel inclined to elevate his tragic end into the dignity of a nationalquestion, and it feels convinced that those who take this view of it commit a seriouserror. It requires courage to tell the truth, when the general sentiment is against us. Riel on the scaffold does not personify for us the French Canadian race, nor even the Metis. Let thinking people reflect on the pituation. Riel played a terrible gama and lost. Was this unfortunate man without reproach ? Was the man just executed an innocent one? Events are too recent to render it necessary for us to weigh this point or dis- cuss the acts of one who is now before his God. This is certain, that his acts have been condemned and his motives reproved by the highest tribunals.
