THE DAILY EXAMINER.

SEPTEMBER 24. 1889.

Notes and Clippings.

A Quebec despatch says that nearly all the workmen on the Bais de Chaleurs rail- way are out on strike for want of pay.

Toronto Empire : “Oa the 10th of January. 1850, the Toronto Globe charac- ize i the clear grit party as a ‘little miser- able clique of oflice-seeking, bunkum-talk- ing cormorants.’ In thirty-nine years the party hasn't changed much, and answers pretty well to the description at the present hour.”

It is expected that the United States expenditure on war pensions for the cur- rent year will amount to $110,000,000. Cowmentinz upon this, the Halifax Mail gays: Were Canada annexed to that coun- try, therefore, either practicaliy or com- mercially, we would have the privilege of c atributing about $9,000,000 a year to support the “‘veterans” in & war in which we had nota particle of interest. At the same time we would have the privilege of raising all the money required by our pro- vincial governments by direct taxation. These are same of the “reforms” that the grit party are working to effect.

Notwithstanding the fact that an act prohibiting the importation of Chinese into the United States is in operation, there is little or no effort made to interfere with the traffic, which is steadily increasing. One day last week the steamer Gailic landed 169 at San Francisco. Of this num- ber twenty-four were women, who were landed on writs of habeas corpus as the wives of merchants. The popular belief, however, is that they were brought over for immoral purposes. The Chinese slave traflic is a growing business on the Pacific Coast. Girls are bought from their parents for from $100 to $300, on the promise that they will be brought there and married. On their arrival they pass through the habeas corpus mill, and disposed of for $1,500 to $2,000 and placed in disreputable houses. The collector at that port says he will try to stop this trafiic, if he has to go into court himseit.

Careless Driving.

4 CITIZEN UPSET AND BADLY INJURED BY THE STUPID DRIVER OF A TRUCK-WAGON. On Thursday night about half-past nine

o'clock, as Mr. C. B. Warren, the well-

known boot and shoe dealer, and his eldest daughter, were returning home from a visit to some friends in the country, their car- riage came into collision with a truck-wagon driven by a careless countryman, and both occupants were thrown violently to the ground. At the time of the disaster Mr.

Warren was driving carefully along on his

own side of the road—as far down as he

could get. The night was very dark.

Knowing well that no person coming from

town had any business on the side of the

road upon which he was driving, he had no apprehension of danger from collision.

Just as he arrived at Spring Park the big

truck-wagon referred to loomed up

directly in front cf him, coming at a snug pace. He made an ef- fort to avoid the collision which he saw was

Lea along

inevitable. But the effort was in vain. Regardless of consequences the countryman kept on his way. The two

teams met. Mr. Warren’s conveyance be- ing the lighter, was soon upturned and the vccupants spilled out onthe roadside. As quickly as possible they picked themselves up. The little girl was fortunately not hurt, but badly fnghtened. Mr. Warren was badly shaken up and every bone in his body was paining him. The pony’s feet were scratched, and the carriage was pretty well battered. The countryman, whose stupidity was the cause of the disaster, drove off without making any attempt to render assistance or to find oat if any one was hurt or killed. Mr. Warren

and his daughter got home the best way they could. So stiff and sore was the former on arrival that it was with the greatest difficulty he un-

harnessed the horse. He slept little that night. The next morning he was much worse and called in Dr. Beer. That gentleman, upon examination, found that one of Mr. Warren’s ribs were broken, that his back was badly strained and that his entire system had received a bad shaking up. The doctor did all he could for the injured man, who, we are pleased to learn, is now duing well. His injuries, however, will necessitate his confinement to bed for some time. Mr. Warren does not know the name of the countryman who did him so much harm, as the night was dark, and he ran off in a very cowardly manner. He remembers, however, that he had a second horse hitched behind the wagon. Perhaps this may furnish a clue to his identity. We hope it will. Such criminal carelessness and stupidity on the part of any person deserves the strongest condemnation. We trust that the stupid coward who was the cause of the disastrous accident to Mr. Warren will be found out and that he will be punished as he deserves.

NEWFOUNDLAND News.—The Halifax Mail says :— Reports received by the steamer Har- law from the Straits of Belle Isle of the herring fishery are somewhat discouraging. A large fleet of vessels from ditierent parts of Canada and Newfoundland have been on the coast some five or six weeks, many of which are now leaving without any fish. Codfish are fairly pleatifaul but bait difficult to obtain. Capt. Farquhar states that he had much difficulty in making the different ports on the north of Newfoundland owiag to dense smoke caused by large fires in the country, no rain having fallen for some weeks.

The Forest Fires.

The fires up west are practically out, no serious consequences being now anticipated from those smouldering in the saw dust. From Port Hill to O'Leary, the course of the fire, the country loeks desolate indeed. But were it not for the heavy rainfall of Thursday evening, the destruction of pro- perty would have been much greater. It came just in time.

Besides the property already mentioned in Tue EXAMINER as being destroyed we hear that Robinson's mills at Enmore River were burnt down.

The Haywards removed all the machinery from their mills at Mill River, believing that the building was doomed. But the rain came just in time to stay the progress of the flames, and the mills were saved.

The damage to the railway track has been made all right and trains are running on time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

“Rip” Heard From.

Srr,—I understand that certain parties are making capitai against me because of my ab- sence on Friday night last, when the almost snecessful attempt was made by a young mati, apparently under the influence of beer, to ab- duct the horse and buggy, which, during the past summer, has beea under my immediate supervision, which attempt, owing to my ab- sence, would have been successful had not cer- tain parties interfered. In order to place my- self right before the proper authorities, and to correct any misunderstanding, I wish to state that my absence was owing to my _be- ing the victim of a conspiracy; for on the evering in question, I received from the ab- ductors a nice wing of a chicken, which I was away enjoying when the attempted abduction took place. i now see that the sending me the repast was the beginning of a plot, which, thanks to the agility of my master was nip- ed in the bud, and ended in the confusion of the guilty parties. I wish now to notify all others that, for the remainder of the season, I intend to remain at my post, and, under no circumstances will i be absent.

Yours sincerely, but sorrowfully, Rip.

Address to Colonel Moore and Team.

In the sport and play of war

You have more than held your own ; Over Canada afar

Wide your worthy deeds are known.

It,

Winners of the cannon-shift On Quebec's historic plains,

You have given our Isle a lift, Your successes are our gains,

Ill,

For there yet are some who think We are on some sandy pen,

Huddling close to ‘seape the brink Of our little eight by ten.

Iv. And that nothing should they fear From the herd of eight by ten ;

What than this can be more clear, — Little sandbank, little men.

Vv.

But you've more than held your place With the men of larger lands;

You, the winners of the race, Welcome to your native sands !

Vi.

In the sport and play of war You do well, and have our praise ; Oh ! should strife our quiet mar, Should we fall on other days.

\ Vin.

Should grim War, with unmasked face, stalk before us threateningly, Would you boldly give him chase, Or, like cowards, turn and flee? .

VII.

Shall it e’er be said of you,~ ‘“When ’twas sport, right brave were they ; When ‘twas earnest, sternly true, They were timid of the fray."

IX. For, as schooldays are a lease To win knowledge for the life, So ‘tis yours in time of peace To prepare for coming strife. xX.

Ah, not yet have come the days Seen by poet's glance afar,

When Red Mars should dim his blaze And earth own a kindlier star.

XL.

Star of peace and pledged good will,-~ All a one foe combined, Raging Passion, Brooded 1ll— The long scourge of human kind

XI.

O’er asurer Eden then Justice her fair sway shall hold ; Joy return to earth again, — Golden days, for lust of gold !
