The Supreme Court had decided that the power over wholesale and vessel licenses resided in the Dominion. The Privy Council, however, decided the other way, and holds that this power also is vested in the Provinces. Taus has the Privy Council decided once more that .Sir John is not- a constitutional liteeier, but that he is a would-be .usurper of.

ANOTHER PROVINCIAL VICTORY. • The great constitutional lawyer and usurper of Provincial rights, Sir John lefacdonald, has sustained still another defeat at the hands of the Hon. Oli. ver Mowat, "the little Premier" of Ontario, this time being on the liquor license question. The Imperial Privy council has just given its decision on the Dominion Government's appeal from the Supreme Court of Canada as to -the constitutionality of the Do- minion License Act. It confirms the have made it incomparably the glad. dost and happiest day that the sun shines on. The most eminent and hon- ored event in the secular records of the world dwindles into utter insignificance in comparison with the great event which we are expected to loyally cele- brate to -day, viz.: the advent into this world of Jesus Christ, the found- er of the Christian religion. Job tells ne when the foundations of the earth: were laid "T.he morning stars sang to- gether, and all the sons of God shout- ed for joy." And at this Christmas tide we commemorate a new creation, a new age, a new birth for the world, the foundation of a new heaven and new earth, • Then let the morning stars once more sing together and. all the sins ot God shout for joy. It was the edvent of Christ that brought down the angelic attains of heaven to thrill throngh human ears ; it was tens that filled all heaven with joy, send flooded the earth with light.
