Tue Darty EXAMINER. JUNE 7, 1883. hs

Badi:torial Notes.

—In refusing to make any represen- |

tation to the United States Government as to the disposal of the balance of the Greveva Award money, Mr. bas acted with becoming dignity.

—-In desiring to be Governor-General of Canada, Prince Leopold gave evidence of a very laudable ambition. He is, it seems, a very proper young man, with a taste for Civil Service distinction. His time will come.

—A correspondent notes with pleasure the ability displayed by Mr, Hackett, M. P., in the House of Commons, and truthfully remarks that be worked assi- duously in the interests of his County, his Province and the country generally.

--Great progress is being made in the construction of the Canada Pacific Rail- way. The Saskatchewan will be crossed by the endJof this week, and grading will probably be completed as far as Calgarry early in July. The prospects are that the Rockies will be reached by rail before the summer is ended,

—An appreciative elector in King’s County -writts:—‘'The junior member “from Souris, Mr. John McLean, who had the honor of being returned by acclama- tion for the First Electoral District, bas fully satisfied the expectations of his friends ; and, when he has made himself thoroughly acquainted with Parliament- ary usages, he will, no doubt, shine as one of our best men.”

—The demand for the Scotch black cattle for Canada still continues. A few days ago the “Quebec” brought from Liverpool, nearly two hundred Polled Angus and Galloway heifers and bulls, and ten Jersey cows, for the Hon. M. H. Cochrane, of Compton, and Messrs. Geary Brothers. They were considered one of the best lots, as a whole, that have yet been brought into this country.

—Grazing stock are selling very dear in Scotland, owing to the long period during which farmers’ have been de- prived of their regular supply. Good store sheep have seldom sold so high as at present, while the favorite weights of fat sheep also bring very satisfactory prices, and lambs have recovered their former buoyancy, which the ill-advised royal edict did so much te check for a time. Store cattle are likewise selling at high rates, and the tendency is still further upward,

—The tone of Manager Smithers’ re- marks atthe cunual meeting of theBank of Montreal recently held was very couserva- tive. In a comprehensive review of the past and present sitmation he said he thought the profits were better now than they ever were, and would have been a great deal better than they are but for losses within the past four months. With regard to the future, he said the policy of the directors would be the same as formerly. The reins of money would not be relaxed for some time so as to prevent any tendency to inflation.

** The people will believe anything.” — Globe June 2

—The Globe and the organ of Mr. Chappelle act on this principle. But it is unsound. With the Toronto Mail, we prefer to believe that *‘ the people of Canada have far more good sense and sound judgment than the Reform party and its organs give them credit for.” However, it is interesting, as the Mail says, “to have an official declaration from the organ of the Grit party that the reason why it fabricates so hugely is because it entertains a low opinion of the discriminating powers of the Canadian public, and because it thinks that “ the people will believe anything.”

—Says the Toronto Mail :—* A writer for Mr. Blake’s organ undertook to give Conservatives a character on Saturday. According to this amiable individaal, persons who do not agree with him politically are ‘insects,’ **mongrels,” and drift-wood.” They are also ‘deadly in their malignity and venom,” ‘full- blooded and rancorous,” ‘devoid of prin- ciples,” ‘‘possessed of stunted mental powers and bitter prejudices,” ‘“unedu- cated and unenlightened,” ‘selfish and mercenary,’ . ‘‘foul-mouthed slanderers,”’ ‘* vicious and selfish,’ ‘ignorant and misguided,” ‘ignorant and unprincipled,” ‘‘men of sullied reputations,” “abettors of crime,” and creatures ‘stamped with never-dyiog infamy.” Nature some- times indulges in strange freaks; but a full-blooded insect, a mercenary mon- grel, and a piece of driftwood with mental powers of any kind, are curiosities of which she has not yet been guilty. It is unkind to taunt insects ard mongrels with being uneducated and unenlightened, because they cannot help their unfor-~ tunate condition, and it is doubly cruel to stamp unoffending and inanimate drif- wood with “never-dying infamy. Adjec- tives and dynamite should be handled with care.”

It is related of Sydney Smith that once on entering a drawing-room in a west end mansion, he found it lined with mirrors on all sides. Finding himself reflected in every direction, he said that he ‘* supposed he was at a meeting of the clergy, and there seemed to be a very respectable at-

tendance.” sical, tes

isdowne.

| The London (G. B ) Daily News says: | A democratic comm. :ity, such as that of ;the Dominion, prefers, we are afraid, an ‘aristocratic chief, and a member of the ‘older and greater bility is especially satisfactory to it. But Lord Lansdowne’s ‘titles are not exclusively those of high ‘rank and conventional position. He has siown his possession of intelligence {and l good sense, and also of a force of will and itirmness of character which remove him from the range of those molluscous politi- icians on whom the Duke of Argyll, strong }in his sense of being a vertebrate animal jlooks down with contempt. Lord Lans- downe has moreover the tact, temper, and address which are especially necessary in a man whose office is to some extent ceremo- nial, and who has to play his part in a sort of pageantry, although we need not say the Governor-Generalship of Canada is much more than a ceremonial office. Lord Lans- downe has had a varied training in English politics, Parliamentary and administrative. He is marked out, so far as it is possible to foresee, for high oflice and influence in some future Liberal Administration, and in the work of the Liberal party. The questions of the future will largely concern the position of England as a great Imperial | Power having dependencies in all parts of the world, and it may be hoped that Lord Lansdowne’s Canadian experience will be serviceable not only to himself but to the country.

Apvisinc Mr. Grisson.—One of the weekly journals expresses regret that Mr. Alexander Gibson, notwithstanding ‘‘the advice’ which he has received, is going on with his cotton mills. That is away Mr. Gibson has. There were persons who ‘‘advised”’ that the history of the lumber- ing {business on the Nashwask was not encouraging; that the decayed look of the place proved the fact, that they ‘‘advised Mr. Gibson not to hope for success in that quarter. But Mr. Gibson went on all the same; and most people, in this province, know the transformation that has resulted from his enterprise at Marysville. Now he is about to erect a great cotton mill, with 50,000 spindles, and capable of receiving more, and anonymous and other corres- pondents ‘‘advise him not to doit. But his brick machines capable of making 50,000 bricks a day, will soon be at work near the site of the newmill. A large force of men, under Mr. Lockwood’s repre- sentative, Capt. Kelsey, is at work on the foundation. Mr. Maxwell, the engineer of the St. Croix mill, is at work, and Mr. Gibson himself spends a good deal of his time watching Messrs. B. Mooney & Son erecting the foundations ofthe mammoth mill. Mr. Gibson has counted the cost, and despite the ‘‘advice’ of his Montreal and other friends, he is satisfied that he can increase the hum at Marysville, build many new residences, find extended employment and minister to the intellectual and reli- gious wants of the people, through proper appliances, as well as add to their material comforts. Gibson, St. Mary’s and Frea- ericton, as well as Marysville, will experi- ence the good effects of Mr. Gibson’s enter- prise. —St. John Telegraph.

Killed At Shediac.

i

THOMAS MORRISON FATALLY SHOT BY A |

WOMAN-——A RATHER MYSTERIOUS CASE,

ABOUT WHICH VERY LIPTLE THAT IS RELI- ABLE CAN BE TOLD.

(Special to St. Johiu Te legraph. )

Suevrac, June 5—A crime, the full par- tisulars of which are not yet obtainable, was committed here this afternoon. setween three and four o'clock “Thomas Morrison, baggage master on the Shediac accommodation train, James ammell, Sunuy Deacon, atid George Harvey, all friends, spent the day at Point du Chene. In the afternoon they came to~ Shediac. All had been drinking more or less, but were perfectly able to take care of tiem- selves. They walked around the town for a short time, and about 3.50 went to a house kept by a woman named Sarah Smith. Her reputetion is not.the best. Indeed there are many stories in cireulation about her and her establishment, which show that the place has

A MOST UNSAVORY REPUTATION,

It is almost impossible to get agonnected story of what happened after they arrived in front of Mrs. Smith’s house) It appears that they asked for admission and were re- fused, bat even thisis not clear. However, the party remained in front of tie house for some time, and, according to their story, two of them sat down on the plat- form in front of the house. Betore this they had been acting about in the roadway, but in a perfectly harmless manner. There was a little noise, but no rowdy conduct. The two men who were sitting on the plat- form say that Morrison was standing In front of the door, dancing and enjoying himself. ‘There were no extrordinary leud noises anywhere, and except that’ all were more or less jolly there was nothing to annoy any person. Suddenly, and, it is averred, without any warning,

A SHOT WAS FIRED

from the house. This-was distinctly heard by each one of the party. Simultaneously with the shot Morrison fell in the roadway. At first the others thought he was only making play, but when they observed that he did not rise again they became alarmed and ran to his side. The other young men then became alarmed and attempted to lift Morrison up and place him on his feet. It was then they found that he was hurt, for when they lifted him up he hung heavily in their arms and made no effort to stand. The ball had entered his body in the vicinity of the stomach and inflicted a mortal wound, ‘The young man was still alive but breathing heavily. He could not speak and from the time the fatal shot was tired unti] his death, he

NEVER UTTERED A WORD.

A physician was sent for, but long before it was possible for any one to reachjhim, Morrison breathed his last. When it was found he was dead Morrison’s remains were removed to the freight shed where they still lie. Almost immediately follow- ing the shot that killed Morrison, ancther was fired within the house which took effect in the left muscle of his leg, lacerating the flesh but inflicting only a slight wound. Nothing has yet developed to indicate a cause for the shooting.

When the remains of the young man Morrison had been removed to the freight shed an officer was hunted up aad THE WOMAN, SMITH, PLACED UNDER ARREST.

She attempted an explanation but yielded quietly to the oflicer and was placed in the lock-up. Her character is very bad. She lived for some time at Barachois, a small place about a mile and a half out of Shediac. During her residence there it is alleged that she shot three or four persons.

Thomas Morrison was 23 years of age. He belonged to Portiand, where he resided with his father, Mr. John Morrison, well known as aship builder. About six years ago he obtained a situation on the Inter- colonial as brakesman and worked himself up to that of baggage master. He was well known to the travelllng public as a very obliging and good-natured official, who was always willing to accommodate the travelling public.

THE Patriot has raised a clamor over what has been a slight mistake in our Ottawa Cor- respondence, and the Grit organs have been glad to tind even the slightest excuse for keep- ing it up: The mistake arose simply from the substitution of one word from another. Sir Charles promised that when rolling stock is required for the Cape Traverse Railroad, it shall be made on the Island, whereas our correspondent had it renewed. Where the word renewed applies is in connec- tion with the rolling stock of the Prince Edward Island Railroad which shall also be made in the Island when it has to be renewed. While Mr. Brecken was in Ottawa he found time to look after the interests of the Prov- ince, unlike Mr, Davies, whose sole object seems to have been to delight his political friends with harrowing pictures of our poverty and decay, pictures which were mere daubs, having ugly looking falsehoods for a back ground.—J//erald. —

Tue fact of a person sending letters for publication in a newspaper and deceiving the editor as to their authorship, and ihen denying publicly that he was even interested in them while he privately letit beknown that he was the writer,is, we beheve, without a parallel in the history of journalism—inthis Province atleast. Yet, the editor of the Patriot thinks this per- son injuriously treated because his tricks with the editor and the public were exposed— though he has been allowed to say over and over agafn everything he had to say in hisown defence. So far as character and principle are concerned, the Patriot and the person in question seem to be a very well matched pair.
