O?rAWA, May 16tb, IBM - There is nothing like an official annoance- neat to remove all doubt, and the cable- , ,ram, therefore, stating that the appoint- nent of Lord Aberdeen as Governor General f Canada has been officially announced in England, settles that matter for good. Of :curve everybody knew that Aberdeen was eistined to succeed Stanley. The Govern- , nent organs, however, have been dwelling )n the fact that the Governor-General can amain in office for six years, and up to the ast moment denied that there was any cer- tainty of Lord Stanley leaving Canada be- ,, ore 1894. The w6h was father to the thought but it could not change the inevit- able, for if they imagined that an old Par- ismentary hand like Mr. Gladstone was going to delay the second biggest appoint. ment in his gift at a time when the security of his government is very much in doubt they counted without their host. � The Right Ron. John CamDbell Hamil- ton Gordon, seventh Earl of Aberdeen, is A. man of about forty-five year& of age or per- haps a little older, but from big appearance one might -easily take him to be somewhat younger. - Judging from the conversation I had with him when he was out here a couple i of years ago, he is extremely affAble and straightforward. Strange to may, he enter- ed public life as a, Conservative, but in 1878 he disagreed with theBesconsfield policy and drifted over to the Liberals until in 1880 he was a,recognised follower of Mr .Gladstone. This led to his appointment as Lord Lieu- tenant of Ireland in 1886. The Countess of berdeen is an attractive looking,though by no means beautiful woman. She is a daugh- . ter of Lord Tweedmouth. The couple promise to be very popular in Canada. The Conservative Government at Ottawa will not find Lord Aberdeen so pliable in their hands as they have found Lord Stanley, and thev will stand more in fear of him. . We have a new public works scandal in connection with the building of what is call - the Curran Bridge over the Lachine Canal at Montreal. The bridge is named after the Solicitor General, who recently appoiatzd Mr. E. Kennedy Superintenden; of ths C&ual. There has been an over expenditure on this bridge of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Mr, Kennedy, the Superintend- ent, and :Mr. Parent, the Superin tend I Dig engineer, have both been suspended, an& a depsrtmental.investigation has been ordered to be held. The appointment of Mr. Ken- nedy was Wougly opposed by the best men in kontreal, because he h3d no experienco and no qualifications whatever for the posi. tion, but he was a fellow countryman of Mr. Curran's and an influential man among the carters of Montreal, and the carters had votes and.so he was appointed. There was a bit of a breeze raised at the time by some of Mr. Curran's own supporters, The vvhirl� wind has now come, . A 'very' im ortant appeall was argued in the Supreme 8ourt of Canada, last week, in the case of Hufjon vs. The Township of South Norwich, in the county of Oxford, which involved the question as to the power of the township to pass a by-law prohibiting the sale of liquor within the mnuicipality under the authority of the Local Option Act IrFised by the Ontario Legislature in 1890. his argument was'confined to the consti- tutional question as to whether the Piovince has the right to prohibit the sale of intoxi- cating liquors or wh9ther that is the exclu. sive right of the Dominion Parliament. From the observations let fall from the Bench dating the argument if, would ap. pear to be the opinion of the Chief Justice, . than whom there is no more able jurist on Dominion and the Provinces could onset pro. hibitory liquor legiglation, the Dominion under the powers conferred on it by exclus. ive jurindetion over matters of trade and , commerce'; the Provinces by virtue of their p�were over municipal institutions carrying with them as they do the right to establish complete local self government within the municipality. An the argument went on the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Tascher- eau seemed to lea th opinion that the n tj 0 properly within Scott Act is a measure ir; the jurisdiction of the irovinces than of the Dominion. In tha o9drse of the argument the Chief Justice as &I times reflected on a a a the jurisprudence of t. Privy Council of ) England, the membeii: which he said did not appear to utudersta matters out here. It may be that the pra ice of the Imperial Privy C6uncil in reypers g the judgment of the Supreme Court so frequently had led Chief Justice Strong to entertain doubts . of their wisdom, and the last decision reversing the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Manitoba School question may yet rankle in the mind of the learned Chief Justice. Mr. Justice Taschereau made % very important statement to the effect that the Supreme Court of Canads never decides, constitution - sl questions, because he said, they are &I. ways appealed to the Privy Council, and when one thinks of the matter this remark is found to be true, and, while Jt is evident' ly a more spot in the minds of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada, it has never. theless been fully recognized. I The secret taxiff commission will itinerate towards the Martime Provinces on Wednes- day. In order that Messrs. Foster and Bowell may be able to stomach some of the statements they may bear, they are to be . van a dinner on their arrival at St. John, I W. B . at which the Hon. Messrs. Angers and Daly will also be present. After hear- ing Bome manufacturers and importers at St. John and Halifax, Messrs Foster and Bowell will visit Three Rivers and the City -of Quebec oa their return to Ottawa. Dur. ing last Session theMinister of Finance an- nounced in Parliament that two common sense business men in the persons of Con. trollers *Wallace and Wood were to ac. company him during these tariff investiga. tions, bul; as it turns out Messrs. Wallace , and Wood have been studiously ignored and left at home. Mr. Bowell has taken their .place and no doubt desires to make the Con. trollers feel that they are subordinate to . him and not on a high enough level to tic. company members of the Cabinet, The olicy of:the Government. after being compely ad to mit certain kinds of mining . machinery�freeqs being so carried out by the Customs Depattinent as to neutralize the Vod effects of ehe Resolution passed by the ocase of Comm' one to, admit free of duty all mining machinery not made in Canada. The Customs Department promulgated a lial of articles manufactured in Canada whiob @hut out almost every particle of mining machinery from coining under the free list, As a matter of fact this list included numer. ous pieces of machinery not made in Canada at all. A meeting of the manufacturers .ol . mining machinery has been held at Sher. brooke for the purpose of drawing up a list, but as the list already referred to' emanated from Sherbrooke matters are not ' likely tc be mended in the direction of benefittins the mi tt of Canada which tht Customs . apartment is doing its best tc ' injure, The cise which the Government intend� to submit to the Supreme Court before they take any action on the Manitoba School appeal has been drafted -end b th time it In settled and sent ,to the &urfl and the argument heard and!
