Tur Dairy EXAMINER. 2 SEPTEMBER 20, 1883

The ‘‘Herald’s” Attack Upon ‘The

Examiner.” Tue Heralds wvumerous charges, a la Chappelle, may be grouped under

two headings, and so met and disposed of.

1, Tue ExaminxeR has been actuated by malice towards Mr. Chappelle.

"2. Tue Examiner has been guilty of ‘a gross breach of trust.”

It usually gives us pleasure to defend Tue Examiner; for we feel that Tur ExaMINER is usually right. We defend it with pleasure, and contideuce, now.

Let us consider these charges in the light of the facts and of common sense

Some months ago, Mr. Chappelle brought to Tar Examiner office a series of anonymous communications

One of them—which by the way was inserted while the ediior was absent from town-—-contained av offensive remark about His Worship the Mayor--a gen- tleman who, whatever his shortcomings, is entitled to the respect of all citizens pot only because of the honorable posi- tion to which he has been elected, but also because of his venerable age and unstained character. The oftensive re- mark was resented by the Mayor's frieods; and an anonymous writer charged Mr. Chappelle with being the author. Instead of treating the charge with indifference and so maintaining his incognito, Mr. Chappelle, in a letter over his own signature, declared explicitly that he was uot interested in the letters, and conveyed tothe public the utterly false impression that he had uothiog whatever to do with them. The next day, in response to a challenge to do so, Tue Examiner told the simple truth, that the letters came from Mr. Chappelle and were in his own handwriting. At the same time we expressly stated that he might vot be their author, and by im- plication accepted his statement; for we administered a smart rebuke to writers for the press who use others as a cloak for their own identity. So far it will be admitted there could have been no malice on our part. Io what way has malice since been shown? We have inserted every one of Mr. Chappelle’s letters in explanation of his conduct and abuse

of Tue Examiner. Did this show malice? We have not applied a single

strong epithet to Mr. Chappelle ; but have treated him with much more courtesy than, our friends say, he deserved. Was there malice in this? When he came out as a candidate tor civic honors, we said not one word against him; and certainly showed no malice. But, it said, that after the election we gave Mr. Chappelle and those who supported him, a very sharp rap over the knuckles, not- withstanding the fact that he and they are embers of the great Political Party whieh Tae Examiner supports and desires to see strong in the confidence of this iotelligent community, That is true. Every one (except the editor of the Herald, whois a stranger and has been misinformed) knows that Mr. Chap- pelle, while active aud energetic enough in his business, is no more fit to be a representative man than a rat terrier is to take the place on the mountain of a dog of St. Bernard. His hasty temper and bad puus are all against his success as a legislator—to say nothing of his ability to say ‘‘the thing which is vot,” for perhaps that should not be counted a bar. His election in the first place was a joke, and his candida- ture inthe second place was,as the event proves,a blunder, Inasmuch as the Liberal-Conservative Party were invoked in his behalf, with partial suc- cess, the prestige of the Party .in_ the town suffered to some extent on account of his defeat; aud it was, not malice, but a desire to prevent a recurrence of such ill-advised, badly concerted and disastrous action in the name of the Party, that Tae Examyer made the remark which, on account of its appro- priateness, has lately been the sensation of the town. We regret that it did not apply less directly to Mr. Chappelle aud more directly to those who encouraged and supported him; we repel with in- digation the charge that in making it we were actuated by malice; and we trust —iodeed we feel satisfied—that it will have the effect intended. As for Mr, Chappelle’s efforts to injure the character of the editor of Tue ExAmtner, they will, we believe, meet with about the same success as those of the fabled viper who gnawed at the file; and therefore we publish his letters and bear Mr. Chappe'le no malice.

18

We have taken the more pains to repel charge number one because we know, and those who coutrol and iuspire the Herald kuow, that nothing is so caleu- lated to injure a newspaper as the. dis- semination of the idea that its utterances on public affairs are the ontcome of malice aud persoval spite. We beg to assure the Herald that we fully appre- ciate its motives.

Now, a few words as to charge num- bertwo. It can be met in two ways. The Herald says, ‘Mr. Chappelle wrote several letters on civic affairs;’’ Mr, Chappelle himself says that he did not write the letters at all! We have never stated that he did. Indeed, from the very first, we accepted Mr. Chappelle’s Staiemeut, ond since then the actual writer. in « letter marked ‘ Private and

vulged ; and, therefore, the charge falls to the ground.

But suppose the Herald statement true

self the author of the articles. Mr. Chappelle himself positively declared, ver his own signature, that ho was not even interested in them! Here was indeed, a gross breach of confidence. It must never be forgotten that the parties to any trvst are mutually bound; and that ifthe editor newspaper is to keep faith with an anonymons writer, the

of a

aponymous writer must also keep faith with the editor. Woedfall would not have suffered bad “Junius” proved false to him.

We yield to no man in our regard for journalistic etiquette. We have repeat- edly, as leading legal firms in this town know, refused to give up the names of correspondents ; aud had the threatened legal proceedings been taken, would cer- tainly have persisted in doing so in the court, and (if condemned) in the prison. But the claims upon our confideace which the correspondents in these cases possessed were forfeited by Mr. Chap- pelle.

We submit the case to the judgment ot the public, well assured that whether Mr. Chappelle be regarded as the writer or as not the writer, the verdict will be for Tur EXAMINER.

P.S.—The Herald says Tor ExAm- INER surrendered Mr. Chappelle’s name ‘‘when undue pressure was exercised.” Will the Herald kindly explain its mean- ing and say. nothing in future about **mean insituations.”

—We have lately received the Calen- dar ot Kiug’s College, Windsor, for the coming academical year. Its curriculum is a wellarranged one, and by the whole appearance of the calendar we should judge the institution to be in a flourish- iag condition. King’s College is very fortunate in being situated in a small country town where the student. is not turued from his work by any of the common allurements of city life. Wind- sor is one of prettiest spots in Nova Scotia, and Old King’s, nestling amongst its glorious elms seems a most fitting home for the work of higher education. The discipline of the college we hear is good, and the general tone prevailing | among the students a very heartful one “Islauders abroad” have been going for years to King’s, and still are going, but we cannot help thinking that if the ad- vantages presented by that institution were better known here, a much greater number of ‘tour Island boys” would turn their steps to Windsor. Calendars can be procured free of charge upon applica- tiou to Thos, Ritchie, Esq., Halifax, or Rev. Canon Dart, Windsor.

—A new mode of “forming fours”’ is suggested by a correspondent of The Matt. According to the old system, as laid down in the Field Exercise, the recruits must be taught four different formatious before they can get through fours. Thus they are taught to form fours-deep, fours-right, fours-left, and fours-about, each of which is a distinct, separate formation, and the recruit has to think each time before moving to the word of command. Now, by the system proposed, the men on getting the com- mand ‘*Fours,” simply go into fourse deep. If it is desired to take ground to a flank in fours, the men after forming fours get the word “right” or “left” as the case may be upon which they simply turn to the named flank. The new plan has been tried by the police force of Toronto and seems to work perfectly, no matter whether the company is standing at the halt or advancing or retiring in line.

The St. John Exhibition.

The above Exhibition will open on the afternoon ef October lst with some brief musical literary and intellectual ceremonies. On Tuesday, October 2nd, the regular festivities of the week will begin. I+ will likely be proclaimed a public holiday by the Mayor of St. John, and will be inaugu rated by the trades procession, which of itseif will be one of the mosi interesting and suggestive feature of the whole pro- gramme. The trades are actively preparing for their demonstration. At a recent meeting the trades who gave their lists were tailors, tinsmiths," painters, masons, carpenters, brass finishers, typographers, blockmakers, cotton manufacturers, ship- carpenters and other mechanics, in all nearly 1,000 men. There will also be fire- works, balloon ascension, tree planting, a regatta, a military parade, and numerous other sports. The grand military display will take place on Friday, Oct. 5, and will consist of a sham fight, participated in by the regiments which will be in camp at Sussex, by the St. John volunteers and by two battalions to come from Halifrx. In the evening the visiting military officers are to be entertained at the ball, A _ lively time may, therefore, be expected during Exhibition week in St. John,

G. McDonald, assistant mangger of the Quebec division of the 1. C. R. Oa the journey to St. John the excursionists were enter- tained to a sumptuous dinner by Mr. Me- Donald at Campbellton. He was here pre- sented with an address in French, to which he replied in the same language. On ar- riving in St. John, the trip from Campbell- ton being made without incident, the party registered at the Hotel Dufferin and Waverley House. They spent the day in doing the city, the chief places of which were honored with visits from them,

During the afternoon the Mayor called upon the party at the Waverly House and was introduced to the visitors, who appreci- ated the courtesy. Yesterday morning they crossed the Bay to Annapolis, by the steam- er Empress, thence proceeding by rail to Halifax, thence to Pictou, Charlottetcwn, Summerside and Point du Chene, where they will start for home on Saturday morn- ing.

Manitoba’s petition to the Queen, praying for a settlement of the boundary question, is being engrossed, and is to be forwarded shortly. Now just observe the difference between Conservative and Grit methods of settling a dispute. The Conservatives peti- tion for a legal and peaceful settlement. The Grits hire ‘‘sluggers” and cut-throat, and send them to the disputed countrys with instructions to filibuster and riot. Of course the difference is explained by the circumstance so frequently dwelt upon by :Mr. Mowatt’s supporters, that the Tories are ‘‘villainous reptiles,’ while the employers of the sluggers are ‘‘Christian politicians.”
