Tur Darty EXAMINER.

MARCH 20, 1884. The Nova Scotia and New Bruns- | wick Piers.

Tur Patriot of yesterday has an article occupying a column and one-half, de-| voted toa deience of Mr. L. H. Davies’ action iv regard to the piers and wharves of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The organ attempts to draw a straw across Tue Examiner's track, by aleging that the Leader of the Govern- ment, in his speech in the Assembly, bad suppressed the fact that in asking the question regarding those piers, Mr. Davies was merely acting for Mr. King, of New Brunswick. Mr. Sullivan did not suppress that fact. On the contrary he stated it most distinctly, and added that if the question was asked in the interest of New Brunswick, Mr. Charles Weldon (an abler man than Mr. Davies) would have looked after it in Mr. King’s absence, or if the question affected the in- terests of Nova Scotia, Mr. Vail or some other member in the Opposition from that Province, would have been asked to attend to it. Mr. Sullivan’s argument was that the question was not brought up at that time in the interest of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, but for the purpose of weakening the Island claims. If the represeutatives of Nova Scotia and New Bruswick were aware that these Provinces had similar claims to the one being pressed by Prince Edward Island, their course would be to wait until the Island claim was settled, and then make their demands. Mr. Davies and his defenders may multiply all the words they please in discussing this matter. The fact remains that at a critical time, in the consideration of the subject, after the Chief Engineer had reported, aod while the Mivistry were deciding upon that report, an attempt was made, io which Mr. Davies assisted, to alarm the Ministers against granting our demands, by threatening similar de- mands from Nova Scotia aud New Brunswick.

The Patriot argues that if the conten- tion of the present Government is correct, viz.: that under the articles of Con- federation all our piers became the pro- perty of the Dominion, then our claim could not be prejudiced by the question asked by Mr. Davies. This contention will not exonerate Mr. Davies. While our Government justly hold that all public piers passed to the Dominion at Confederation, the refunding of the Provincial expenditure upon them could not be legally euforced. That was a matter for equitable adjustment betweeao the Dominion and this Province. While the equitable adjustment was being effected, Mr. Davies attempted to frighten the Ministers against doing what was right to our Province by threatening big demands from ihe other Provinces.

Mr. Rogers’ Letter.

Tae ill-tempered and ungrammatical letter which we publish to-day from Mr. Benjamin Rogers is characteristic of the mao. In his opinion it is grossly “impertinent” in THe ExamIner to call in question any of the public actions of so great and good a man ashe is. His bold aud bald devial of facts known to the whole community, should, he thinks, be accepted without inquiry, and he should be constituted final expounder of “general impressions” in all matters which relate to himself. In the face of Rogers’ ‘“‘comprehensive explanation,’ we repeat that he was not recognized by his own colleagues in the Council as their leader during last session, and con- sequently his assumption of that position was an usurpation. Notwithstanding his denial to-day, we are prepared to prove that he admitted in the presence of Goveroment supporters in the Council, at the close of last Session, that he was not recognized as leader by his own colleagues. Further comment on this point is needless. His denial lacks the ‘“‘essential element,” and he knows it.

The Pioneer, published in Summer- side, takes part with Mr. Bevjamin Rogers in regard to the Chaisson dis- missal, the usurped Leadershtp in the Council and other matters. There can be little doubt that the Pioneer's article was either written or inspired by Rogers himself. Is there any other man who would write or cause to be written any- thing like the following:—

“Mr. Rogers is chargeable with i greater ability and edatnttnes tie poche: any other man in the House, and is therefore singled out for silly attacks by the Government organ.

Let his Grit colleagues in the Council read the above over carefully. Let them | mark, learn and inwardly digest it, if after doing so, they still decline to recognize the man of “greater ability aud | independence” than themselves as their Leader, it will at once be apparent that they are a thick-headed set of men. We predict that the submission will be prompt and complete.

_The brewers had another interview with Sir John Macdonald a few days ago. They demand that light wines, ale .and por- ter shall be allowed to be disposed of in counties where the Scott Act is in force. It is argued that this will not only increase sobriety by doing away to a large extent with the use of ardent spirits, but will en- courage the manufacture of home products instead of importing our liquors to such an extent as at present. The annoyance caused to the trade by the Dominion and Provincial Governments attempting to con- trol the trade was also discussed. The

At one o'clock on the 10th a more persist- ent attack of these prowlers startled the camp. The long voll was beaten and the men were marshalled and prepared for a desperate encounter. The enemy lost their opportunity to make a movement In force with any hope of success, and after a few fierce rallies retired to cover. The desul- tory fire of their skirmishers was kept up, however, until daybreak. The British did not reply, as THE SHOOTING WAS WILD

and they were suffering little or no loss, only one officer and two men being wound- ed and one man killed during the entire night. When day broke Gen. Graham got a couple of guns unlimbered and flung two or three shells among the squad of Arabs

in his front and _ hovering § about his outposts on all sides. ‘Lhe enemy dispersed to cover in __ haste under this fire, the range of the

artillerists being very accurate and the shots visibly effective. At five o'clock the enemy’s skirmishers being silenced the British forces, which comprised a strong detachment of sailors, took a hasty break- fast in the field, and breaking camp with all the marshal formalities of a parade, took up the advance towards the Arabs’ position. The men formed in a square with General Graham and staff, the camels and stores in the centre. They marched on in quiet and without opposition for nearly half a mile, when suddenly a hot fire was opened on them from the rebels who were posted in forces in trenches and rifle pits in their front. fight was very strong. They clustered

with all the steadiness of a field day parade. Finally the British force found itself under a still hotter and ivereasing fire. The force in front was estimated at about three thousand Arabs, but there was still greater numbers showing themselves at ali sides of the equare. Then General Graham com- manded his men to begin firing, which they did with a will. This was at nine o'clock, a,m. The troops poured volley after volley into the enemy’s position, and maintained a rattling fire at wil] that was murderouly effective. Osman Digma’s forces now deve- loped in great strength on all sides aad came out bodily, charging in mobs upon the unwavering lines of the troops.

After three hours of this desperate fighting the English remained masters of the position, their brave opponents being dead on the ‘ield to the number of over 2,000, but the yallantry of Osman Digma’g untrained forces did not go altogether for nothing The victory was not easy after all, and the fortunes of the day were several times in doubt. The fierce charges of the rebela at various times during the fight, and at unexpected points were not without their success.

After a most furious encounter the British regained their cap- tured guns.

It was ascertained that it was the Sixty fifth foot that bore the shock of the first charge, and, wavering, fell back upon the marines, throwing them into con- fusion. In spite of the efforts of their officers the marines,were carried away from their guns in a rush, and had retracted several hundred yards in a confusion that was alarmingly like a panic before their gallant officers could rally them. At this time the force had been divided into two squares, that of the first and second brigades. The second brigade square was entirely broken by this stampede and the outlook was decidedly dismal.

The Russian Advance.

The attitude of England as regards Merv is generally condemned in diplomatic circles in Berlin, and surprise is manifested at Mr. Gladstone abandoning the ground won with diffiiculy by Lord Bexconsfield. At the Russian legation much enthasissm is manisested over the appointment of Captain Abkanoff as Governor of Merv. In an_ ipterview with an attache of that legation in regard to the annexation of Merv, that gentleman said: ‘The event certain!y improves our strategi- cal pogition in Central Asia, and it is also of the highest impgrtance from a political point of view, for should another difiiculty with England otcur like the one in 1878,we shall be able to show our teeth, Had we been as near Herat in 1878 as we are now, Lord Beaconsfield would have been obliged to moderate his policy, and we should have been spared the defeat of Berlin. The eastern question will be decided in Central Asia. Heratis the key of the Bosphorus as well as of India.

Mr. Chaisson’s Dismissal. LETTER FROM JAS. NICHOLSON, ESQ., M. L. C. Srx.—In a letter addressed to the Patriot, Mr. Rogers says:—

“The statement that 1 approached the Grit supporters with the suggestion that an ex- change of places should be made between Me- Beth ard Chaisson, is untrue. Knowing that the Government Party, as well as the Opposi- tion, Were anxious to get rid of Chaisson as messenger, I suggested to “two supporters of the Government, that McBeth be appointed messenger, but said nothing about appointing Chaisson as door-keeper; these gentleman con- curring,”’ ete.

I suppose I am one of the two supporters of the Government referred to, and I feel compelled to say that this is not a true account of what cecurred, I understood Mr. Rogers’ proposal to be that an exchange of places should be effected between McBeth and Chaisson, and not that Chaisson should be dismissed from the service of the Council. If the proposition was absolutely to dismiss Chaisson, why should Mr. Rogers bave made any communication at all to the supporters of the Government? Mr. Rogers says that he knew the Government party were anxious to get rid of Chaisson; and, therefore, he made the suggestion to us. Iam sorry io having to give this statement an emphatic denial. As far as | am conceined I was not dissatisfied with Chaisson. 1 believe all the support- ers of the Government were satisfied with him, although some were of opinion that an exchange of places between McBeth and him would be an improvement.

It is quite true that, when Mr. Rogers €/proposed McBeth for messenger, Mr. Burns asked if it was intended that Chaisson be appointed doorkeeper, and that Mr Rogers gave an evasive answer, and Mr. Dodd remarked that another person would, probably, be named for doorkeeper. This was the first intimation the Govern- ment party had that the intention cof the Opposition was to absolutely dismiss Chaissop. While the Leader of the Gov- ernment was consu‘ting with his_co leagues, the President put the motion. I have no hesilation in saying that, up to Mr. Dodd’s intimation, the Government sup- e|, orters were misled as to the intentions of the Opposition, and that not one of them approved of Mr. Chaisson’s dismissal. The fact that all the Government supporters in the Council voted for appointing Mr. Chaisson doorkeeper is « sufficient answer to Mr. Rogers’ statement that we wished to get rid of him.

Iam, yours, etc., Jas. NicHOLSoN,

That Speech.

Sir,--fhat speech of Mr Louis H. Davies’, on the Government loan to the syndicate, about which such a flourish of trumpets was made a few weeks ago by our local Grit press, is now being distribut- ed for the edification cf the Grit faithful. Stale reading it is, to be sure, but then it is our duty, we suppose, to read it with as much patience and forbearance as we are sometimes called upon to exercise while reading a column or so about the virtues of St. Jacob’s Oil, or that other equally celebrated panacea, Warner’s Safe Cure. We can, perhaps, overlook the great length of the speech in question, seeing that the weather is cool, and reading matter not as abundant as we could wish it; but the big words, or more properly speaking, the jaw breakers, which it contains are decidedly alarming—at least iq those whe have not a copy of Worcester’s unabridged to aid them. Authors on composition and rhetuiie tell us that simplicity of expression is as essental to sublimity, as conciseness, and that high-flown expressions are to be as carefully avoided as low, mean, trivial ones, Mr, Davies, it may bg urged, be- longs to a new and advanced school of oratory, in which big words or accumulated epithets are supposed to constitute real sublimity of style. Possibly there may be something in this, We are inclined, how- ever, to believe that Mr. Davies’ great capacity for words will never place him igher than a certain class of parish poli- ticlans, whose stock in

trade con- sists in volubility, strong adjectives and jawbreakers generally. We have taken’ the tyonble to gelect a
