Che Daily Examiner SEPTEMBER 11, 1554. Editorial Notes. — The Winnipeg ‘ coe Liberal gives the Dominion Government having removed’nearly all the organ, cre lit {oi substantial grivances that once existed in the Northwest —In a communication to the Mon treal Witness, Mr. J. S. O'Halloran,— who is now visiting this Province,— | Say ‘The ignorant, superstitious dread | which has restrained many from crossing | the seas no longer prevails to the same extent as in days gone by, and as it is undoubtedly the workingmen who de- rives most benefit from emigration, it is | fortunate that such a change has taken place. As our surplus population is pouring forth at the rate of nearly a thousand a day, it is, 1 maintain, our bounden duty to influence them as far as possible to ‘remain within the bownds | of an empire which offers every) variety of soil and climate that the world affords, where they may continue to dwell under the shadow of their own flag. The colonies form the true outlet for the surplus labor an capital of the Mother Country ; and emigration conducted on such lines is of mutual benefit to those who cross the seas and to those who remain at home. The official returns show, however, that out of 5,085,799 persons of British origin who left the British Isles during the past thirty years, no less than 3,383,601 settled in the United States, and ceased to be subjects of the Queen. Out of 320,118 who left the sheres of Great sritain last year, only 115,440 found their way to Australasia and British North America.’ —In a speech lately delivered at Winnipeg, the Hov. Alexander Mc- Kenzie said: “Nothing hed struck him so much in passing through the great country tothe west, besides the depth and strength of the soil, as the perfect independence of the settlers in most districts. He had visited the coal mines of the Saskatchewan near Medicine Hat, and had beer enabled to see some of the wondrous miueral wealth this country contained. The amount of this wealth was perfectly incomprehensible to any one. The coal fields were hun- dreds of miles in extent, and at one place above Edmonton, the river passed through a seam of coal forty feet in thickness. The question of soil, he had no doubt whatever, was solved. His triends and himself visited seven or eight of the experimental farms, in order to satisfy themselves asto the results of the cultivation of this one year; and the result seemed to him under the circumstances to be emiuently satisfactory. Fromall the information he could gather, there could be no doubt thatthe whole country, with a very small percentage, could be cultivated with satisfactory results.'He heard before leaving home that in the neighbor- hood’ = off the great ranches of the west there was no_ grain growing, that with trifling exceptions the land was thoroughly unsuited to agricul- tural purposes; but when they reached Calgary they ascertained from ocular demonstrations that the finest crops in the northwest were growing there. He saw oatsin which he was able to hide himself; and barley, wheat and oats of enormous proportions. All the grain seemed to be of a most satisfactory des- cription. On one field a man had grown oats for six years successively, aud the present crop would average sixty or seventy pushels per acre.” A Good Order. (Trish Canadian.) The following extract is taken from the (Juebec Telegraph We unders.and that an Order-in-Council has been passed recently, at Ottawa, at the instance of Hon. Mr. Costigan, Minister of Inland Revenue, whereby he is empowered to grant leave of absence, for such a period ashe deems fit, to deai cullers who may find opportunities of employing their time outside, to the supervisors’ office, thereby relieving them from daily attendance at the oftice as hitherto required, and without having their names removed from the roll of employment. We are also give to understand that Mr. Costigan, in view of the small earning so far this season of some of the deal cullers, has also had passed an Order-in-Council empower- ing him to advance a sum to cullers so cir- cumstanced in anticipation of their season's earnings, thus enabling them to ‘‘keep the pot boiling.” Both these measures cannot fail to prove a boon to the parties interested while exhibiting a commendable thought- fullness for the poor man on Mr, Costigan’s part. It is well that the poor manhas ‘‘a friend at court” who can betimes lighten hia burthens by a seasouabie act, such as the one here recorded of the Hon. John Costigan. A bad season in Quebec, whether in the shipping business or in the timber trade, is little short of a public calamity; and, judging by the shortage re- ferred to above, things so far this year have not been as prosperous in the ‘‘Ancient Capital” as could be desired. Mr. Cos- tigan’s Order-in-Council, therefor, comes iQ most opportunely; and much§ good will result from his forethought and consider- ation. For practical purposes the Order-in- Vouncil—an Order like the one we speak of —is a real live factor in scattering sunshine ainong the despairing and despondent, and | whispering courage to those who faint on | the way. All hail, then, to Mr. Costigan’s Order. It is worth a ship lead of the Orders We get out from the Old Country—those very foolish Orders over which many gentle- mon, otherwise most estimable, make them- Rut wWihiows ' Swift won the 2.50 class race at the sports at el ee RT eee ee me ete 5 The Trrf. — } \¢ Chatham races, in the 2.38 class, Mr. | horse, Islond Chief, driven by | iscown, of this city, was set back from first to third place in the fourth heat, for, as the judges claimed, ‘‘pocket- ing, Long John and Helena on the first | (quarter, Che Moncton Transcript stated | that Island Chief should have been sent to | iis stable. The following from the St. John Telegraph will show how the judges decision was received by the spectators : “Mr. Brown was, on Friday evening, presented witha purse containing $85, as compensation for what the doners con- sidered an unfair ruling by the judges in setting Island Chief back, in the fourth heat of the 2.38 class, though Mr. Brown claimed and was accorded a similar ruling in. his own favor in the fourth heat of the 2.50.”’ In its report of the races at Driving Park, the Telegraph says: ae UF. 8 Kingston Dean the Kingston (Kent) Driving Park yester- day; Young Dexter second, The best time was 244. The other three races did not fill, consequently the meeting has ad- journed. The Artillery Competition. QvueBEC, September 6.—The total seore made by the Richmond Field Battery yes- terday was 306, with R. M. L. guns, 48 points less than that of the Quebec Battery. The highest individual score was Sergeant Campbell’s 43. The wind was higher than the previous day, and interfered somewhat with the firing. The mounting and dis- mounting competition was done in 1.45. Detachments of A and B Batteries pro- ceeded to the Island of Orleans this morn- ing, and commenced firing about 11 o’ctock. The wind was hardly as strong as yesterday, but the light was not so good. The shoot- ing was exceeding good, and the highest individual score in the Canadian artillery record was made by Driver Kingsley, of A Battery, who scored a full possible of 56 ‘points. The following are the scores: A | Battery, 504; B Battery, 440. Mrs. Cot- ton gave an ‘‘at home” at the cavalry camp, Levis, this afternoon to the visiting British team and invited guests, which was very largely attended. The band of A Battery was in attendance and a very pleasant time spent. The team was given a public lunch in the Music Hall by the citizens and mili- tary officers of Montreal and Quebec. In the afternoon they were treated to an exhi bition of lacrosse between the Shamrocks and Thistles of Quebec, played under the patronage of Lord and Lady Lansdowne. Quesec, Sept. 9—The English artillery team proceeded to the Island of Orleans at an early hour this a. m., by a special steamer, and commenced firing at 9.15. No. 1 detachment were first to open fire. They made, as far as could be seen, a very yood score, with the sixty-four pounder gun at 1,200 and 1,500 yards. The wind was light and weather, if anything, a little too bright to take accurate sight. No. 2 detachment followed, under Sergt. Taylor, who, in first shot, knocked the target to pieces,and made other good scoring, the result of which can not be ascertained till officially announced, which will be at alate hour to-night. Firing with the 40 pounder at same distances was then commenced by No. 1 detachment. The wind, just as the first shot was fired, changed directly from east to west and carried away the direction of the shell. They were very unfortunate in these rounds, owing to the elevating screw of this gun becoming loose, and also by the premature explosion of a shell, which, it is said, exploded a short distance from the muzzle of the gun. For this the Britishers were allowed an extra shot, as the cause was owing to a badly filled fuse, which occurred in the magazine. The second detachment then fired with the same gun, with good re- sult. In the afternoon the Montreal garrison of No. land 2 detachments, res- pectively, came up to the scratch, and at the word ‘go’ showed some good mettle. Their scoring was very good on the whole notwithstanding that during a week of Col. Oswald’s absence the instructor, who had been sent from the Quebee school of gun nery for the purpose of practising the men previous to the competition,had been called away, which putthe men to great dis- advantage. Up to 5.30 p. m., they had not finished firing the 40 pounder. tHE HALIF4X BRIGADE arrived at the island to-day, and it was creditable to see their soldierly and regular appearance as they marched upon the camp ground. They went to work at once and pitched their tents without a word, much to the satisfaction of the quarter master, Major Liuisay. ‘They also, in their gener osity, pitched tents to have accommodation in readiness for their neighbors from New Brunswick, who arrive to-morrow. . What was most particularly remarked about these men was that there are only two in the entire brigade who are not abosolutely temperance men. The Prince Edward Island brigade arrived to night by 1. C. R, There were to have been two shifting com- petitions to-day but only one came off, that | of No, 1 and 2 batteries of the Quebec gar- | rison artillery, who accomplished the first shift in 6.55 as against the Britishers 6.03, and scored in ]2.10, as against their 11.10. No. 3 battery did not turn up at the time mentioned on programme and will only shift to-morrow afternoon. Disinterested Tears. Scorr Acr Misstonary—My good man what is wrong!

The St. John Telegraph remarks that ‘‘Mr. Duff not only carried off the highest honor, win- | niog the Gilchrist scholarship, but obtained | the uumber of marks qualifying for an Exhi- | bition also. He had done remarkably we] in bis course at our university and was ex- pected toscore a high place in the Gilchrist compeittion, but it was too much to expect that he should have succeeded so remarkably amid the numerous, eager and accomplished competitors of the empire. The City, the Province, and the University of New Brnns- selves so very ridichlous. wick will share in the ple aud prid ee. Re Die Re E te DETR. 66 eee et es TTH DAILY EXAMIN CURRENT NOTES.

A “marriage bureau” has just been started in Berlin, to ‘‘facilitate acquaint- ance between persons of both sexes with a view to wedlock, without regard to position, fortune, age, or faith.” For doing this noble work the “‘burean” only levies a modest fee of $1.50 down, and one per cent. of the future income of the happy, or unhappy, couples whom it may bring together. The Toronto World says that ‘“‘vegetarian- ism is one of the isms that is spreading.” It might have added ‘‘and killing people.’’ Vegitarianism is all right in its way, but the trouble is that when people get cabbage on the brain they refuse to eat meat, and, man being an omniverous animal, your vegitarian pines away and dies for want of natural food, Local instances could be cited in which the vegetarian father by his foolishnesss not only shortened his own life but entailed curses on his innocent children. The London Telegraph prints a private letter from Cairo, which refers to an im- pression there that Khartoum has fallen, and that the Gordon letters were spurious. It says that (ieneral Gordon ordered a sealed letter to be sent to Cairo to be for- warded, Its arrival has not been acknowl- edged. It is supposed to have fallen into the hands of El Mahdi. The British Gov- ernment have received official reports from the Egyptian Foreign Minister and Gen- erals Stephenson and Wood, urging the re- consideration of the plans for the Nile expedition.

A man and his wife at Columbus, Ohio, have just re-enacted the part so graphic- ally depicted by Hawthorne, in his char- acter of Wakeman. After a separation of twenty years the twain met in the street, but the woman failed to recognize her husband, and he passed her by, actuated by the eccentric feeling which the author ascribes to the fictitious Wakeman, who looked from his window in the adjoining street day after day upon the toil and struggles of his broken-hearted wife, always postponing the hour of meeting. In the case of the Ohio people, when explanations were finally made, the woman learned that for twenty years the husband she believed to be dead had been living within a few miles of her door. THe Halifax Herald reports: ‘‘A meeting ofa number of the West India merchants and wholesale grocers of the city was held yesterday afternoon in the Halifax Hotel.
