The Canada Temperance Act. Orrawa, April 18.—The Supreme Court mei this morning, and gave judg- ment upon the C wnada ‘Temperance Act. Chief Justice Ritehie held that the Canadian ‘Temporanece Act, per sé, 8 within the seope of the Dominion Par- liament. He argued the case from the trade and commerce clause of the Union Act of 1857, and declared that the local legislatures hyve no power to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors. The Do minion a He was of the opin- jon that the appeal should be allowed. Jndges Fou nier, Tachereau, and Gyno, coneurre Judge Henry dissented from the conclusions of the others, ing that the powers of the Loenl and the Dominion Governments are of lim- ited extent, and that there must De @x- avihority conferred by the Im-

sale of liquors, in this aed other Pro-
vinces, | ' various Provinces have been passing
Acts rest cicting more and more thesale) of intoxicating beverages. Tho decis sion just rendered if wo understand i! correctly, isto the effect that all legislatio 1 is ultra vires and void! The
Court ha: derided that the Scet Act i
constitutional, which means that the! Dominion Parliament has the right to
make provision for the granting of li-
censes for the sale of liquor. The Court
has also decided that the various Local
Legislatures have not the power to pass
legislation restricting the sale of liquors.
The effect of this will be, as we take it,
to wipe cut all the laws passed hy our
Loca! Levislatures for the past thirteen
years in reference to this subject. ‘the
decisien is a most important one, and
its binding force eoming from the Court
ef final resort in the Dominion, cannot
be further disputed. The decision is—
in as far as it affects the powers of the
Local Levzislatures—in direct antagon-
ism to decisions of our own Supreme Court, but the decision of the Supreme
Court of Canada must of cour-e be ac-~
cepted, no matter how other Courts may differ from it in epinion.— Halifax Herald.
