F'liIDAI', MAY 5, 1898 -- Tamen Chief Juatioe Galt has decided that neither the pity of St. Thomas nor any other municipal corporation in On- tario has a right to give any particular telephone company an exclusive right to carry on business within its limits, the. powers of the municipalities are not theeebylmuoh restricted.

Mswerat's Bill for prohibition of retailing liquor was defeated in the Local Legislature last Tuesday, after a Warm debate, by a vote of 54 to 33. It was a etraight party vote. The amendment proposed by Bon. G. W. Rose and carried is as follows :- 1. That the extent of the Legislature's power to enact a prohibitory law ie nn- eertaio and doubtful. 2. That this question of even the limit. ed power of the province is now pending before the Supreme Court. 3, That the extent of the Provincial jurisdiction ehould first be ascertained by reference to the judioiul tribunal of last resort. 4. That the law passed before was as- certained would militate againet the in• terests of temperance and the public and would result in the indiscriminate and unlicensed traffic in liquors. 5. That the House has confidence that the Goverumeut will without delay take all necessary and proper steps to secure the judtmeut of the said judicial tribun• til as to the extent of any of the jurisdio- tion of the Provinoial Legielaturelto enact a law for the total or partial prohibition of the liquor traffic. 6. The House would be prepared to take action when such decision was reach- ed. 7. The Houee would not deal with the matter during the session other than to prepare and enact all necessary provis- ions for securing a provincial plebiscite on prohibition. 8. That the bill be read this day six months. The Toronto News says :-The popular vote of next January will assuredly be a trumpet -voiced declaration for prohibi• tion. It is almost equally certain the Privy Council will say that, while the Province has not power to prohibit the traffic altogether, it at least has authority to enforce the 'garter bill. This latter declaration may and should be on record within a year, and teen, if au election is not held until after another session, the Governfteut will be asked to define its policy, without equivocation or reserve - don, before going to the people. Its strength in the past has been the liquor vote on one hand and the temperance vote Ob the other. The Ministry cannot declare either for or against prohibition, either partialor total, without alienating either one or other of these elements. Unless the House is dissolved before a year, or the reference to the courts is cle• layed until after this Parliament ceases to exist by effluxion of time.
