The Mailn Franinet The Meeting at West River.

= A LARGE meeting of the electors of Long Creek and viciniiy, was held at New Dominion Schoo!! oase last evening. Mr. James McLean occupied the chair.

Mr. L. H. Davies delivered his account of his stewardship, aud charged the Goverré ment with many crimes and misdeameanors, He received an attentive hearing, but at some of his more characteristic statements, such, for instence, as that the public debt would have to be paid, and perhaps their farms would have to be sold to pay it—the assembled farmers would smile a broad smile, and Mr. Davies would obtain the longed-for applause. He said the country was on the brink of ruin; that the cre lit of the country fast being destroyed; that the Government was everywhere obnoxious to the electors,-—and Sir John knew it.

For the rest, Mr. Davies’ speech was (minus the stories) in effect, the same speech that he delivered at Mount Stewart, Clifton, Charlottetown, Belle Creek and every where else.

Mr. A. B. McKenzie followed in a speech which waxed the more vehemently eloquent the longer the speaker continued. He backed up all the statements of Mr. Davies, of course, though he said Mr. Davies’ speech had knocked all the ideas out of his head; and he declared in effect that in his opinion, Mr. Davies would make a better leader of ihe party than Mr. Blake, and he, at any rate, would like to see him lead the party.

Mr. FarQuuarson then held forth. He

The West River Meeting.

AnoruerR of the numerous meetings with which Mr. Davies and his friends are amusing themselves and the country, was held at Long Creek last evening. It is well that the people should be oceasionally diverted from the more serious occupations of life; and, certaiv ly, no fault can be found with Mr. Davies for taking advantage of the recess of Parliament to give his constitutents his account of his stewardship. Public meetings are a proper means of inform ing the electorate as to the Political Situation ; aud if statements are made at them which are rather more funny than truthful, they can be corrected by the Press.

Tue Examiner has already dealt with some of the more important of the mis statements made atthe Grit meetings ; and we need not waste much time over such remarks as “the credit of the country is being destroyed,” and ‘‘ Sir Johu’s Government is inteasely uupopu lar,’ seeing that the Government can now obtain all the money it wants on easier terms than ever before in the his

Island Railways,and of a great system Of Canals; and is always build ing both railways and canals. In the} United States, the militia is maintained by the State Governments; in Canada it is maintained by the Gevera! Govern- ment. It is stated that $16,000,000 of the yearly expenditures of the Dominion Government are for services which, in the United States, are paid for by the Government of the respective States. Yet, forsooth, Mr. McKenzte and all the Grits compare the expenditures of the two Federal Governments, and declare as a result that we are taxed at the rate of $7 a head, while the people of the United States are taxed ut the rate of $4a head! Even the total amount of the expenditures is not correctly given. Mr. McKenzie says it is $35,000,000. The official papers show that the esti- mated expenditure of the Dominion Gov- ernment chargeable to income for the fiscal year 1885-6 is $32,700,679, or over $2,300,000 less than Mr. McKenzie told the intelligent electors of West River that it is. Bet a trifling error of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000, is, perhaps, hardly worth noticing ! By the way, it is not long since Sir Richard Cartwright said that the taxa- tion of Canada was not athird of that of the United States, when National, State, and municipal taxes were all (as they ought to be) taken into the account.

— Bishop Foster preached a somewhat remarkable sermon at the Methodist camp meeting at Martha’s Vingéyard the other day. ‘The occasion was the dedi- cation of a new chapel, and the text was the question, ‘* What shall be the charac- ter of the services held in years to come.” The answer was in substance, “not a camp meeting revival service at ailevents.’’ This, of course, surprised his hearers, and elicited critical comment among the Methodists. He takes the grouod that moderna religious revivals in the long run do more harm than good. People goto camp meeting now-a-days not so much because it is a religious gathering as because it is a place where they can find bodily comfort, rest and re- creation, a place where they can sing and shout more easily than in the city. They seek more their physical welfare than spiritual and denounces “noisy services and re- ligions crudities,” [He calls upon his fol- lowers to cease calling a mana sinner because he does not shout.

west, who, be said, were peaceable, honest, towards the Government when he lived among them. Riel was a bad, mischievous man, no doubt; but one match cannot make a conflagration, and if the materials for the late rising were not present in the shape of weil grounded dis content, Riel could not have prevailed upon the half-breeds and Iadians to take up arms.

A vote of thanks was then tendered the Chairman; and as the audience emerged from the schoolhouse into the moonlight, three cheers for Mr. Davies and three for the Grit Party rent the quiet air.

The Storm.

Tue storm signal was hoisted yesterday, at noon, by instruction of the Meteoro- logical Office, Toronto. This morning, about seven o’clock,a heavy gale set in from the southeast, which caused consider- able damage. It was heaviest at eleven o’clock this forenoon, when the wind averaged forty miles an hour, but the gusts would exceed this velecity. The storm abated somewhat at noon, but it is still blowing hard.

The steamer St. Lawrence, which started for Pictou at her usual time, was obliged to return, and is now lying at anchor off Ferry Wharf. The steamer Princess of Wales did not leave Summerside for the Point until twelve o'clock,

The breastwork in front of the residence of F. W. Hyndman, E-q., Brighton, was considerably damaged, and a long lumber shed on Connolly’s breastwork was upset. The steam launch La:slowne was sunk at Railway wharf, and the yacht Syndicate had several plank broken.

The storm was severe in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and telegraph communica tion was interrupted.

+: ew ~ A Stampede in Court. CAUSED BY A JURYMAN WHO HAS SMALLPOX IN HIS FAMILY,

Dr. McNiece assistant health efticer of Montreal was informed on the 16:h inst., that there was a case of smallpox in an eat-

ing house opposite Bonsecour’s market. Proceeding there with officer Mois they

found that they would not be allowed to enter. He forced an entrance and saw six men eating their meals, and in aroom ad- joining found a young lad very iil with amallpox. The boy was removed to the hospital. Dr. McNiece discovered that the boy's father was sitting on the jury in the Court of Queen’s Bench in the Consedine trial for murder. Going to the court he in- formed the Crown counsel who informed the judge, asking leave to have the jury discharged. Counsel for the defence oppos- ed this as a man was on trial for his life and threw the odium on the Crown of keep- ing amanin suspense. Crown repudiated this and said it was a case without precedent. The judge sent for the health officers and the chairman of the health board; and having heard their evi- dence discharged the jury. A man coming out of the jury room walked right among the lawyers who stampeded. Tho sheriff paid him and he was discharged from further attendance. The cowt adjourned and the health officers disinfected.
