that, for the common benefit of
all, the provinces did delegate a
portion of their sAverefgn polvers
under the B. N. Act to their cress
tion the federal government. The
powers so delegated are enumerated
in that AcG. We look in vain
among those delegated powers for
any mention of authority by which
the federal parliament could dis•
allow the Jesuits Act, be that Act
never so obnoxious to our protes-
tautism or our race prejudices or
leanings.
During our existence as a Dom-
inion we have had several taste of
the extent of proviucial power as
against federalpower. The Mc-
�
Clay Act involved the right of
the Dominion Government to con-
trot the liquor licensing system,
subject to the right of the provinces
to grant licenses .tor the purpose of
raising a revenue. The Dominion
Government's position was taken
t
under he power delegated to it
under the B. N. Act by which it
has the exclusive right to regulate
matters pertaining to trade and cam-
mecca. The Supreme Court of the
einire decided that the Federal
p `-'-- -- -
position was untenable, that the 1•e-
tailing of liquor did not cotno under
the definition of trade and cow-
marce, and consequently disallowed
the McCarthy Act.
Then the Dominion Government
}u the fatuous Stream's Bill coutro-

provision which gives it control of
all •navigation and shipping in the
Dominion, to grant the lumbering
firm of McLaren & Co., privileges
on a certain stream. The Privy
Council again upset the contention
of the Dominion Government. hold-
ing that the stream in question was
not a navigable stream and sustain-
od the provincial rights contortion
in the premises,
Sir John A. Macdonald was in
doubt in these two cases because of
the indefiniteness of the meaning of
the B. N. Act. But there is no in-
definiteness in the Constitution
about the power of a province to
endow educational institutions. It +
as distinctly as language can say,
declares that the provinces have the
exclusive power to do so within the
provinces.

FEDERAL CANADA.
!'here seems to be a good deal of
31oudiness in the grinds of many
Canadians as to the powers of the
Federal Parliament and those of the
Provincial Legislatures.
From lack of any definite know
.edge of these many good men run
'way with the idea that the Federal
-arliament is paramount in all mat-
era.
Such is not the case. The Fed-
ri•al Parliament has certain exclus-
ve and well defined powers ; the
irovinces have others equally well

tarts out r with saying that those
irovincea have " expressed .a desire
o be federally united into one Do-
pinion " etc., etc.
This fact should not be lost sight
If if we would intelligently discuss
Provincial rights.
In the distribution of legislative
it is declared that the Feder-
1 .parliament shall have exclusive
uthority to deal only with matters

vely to the provinces.

Canada is only a confederation of

Prominent Irish agitators, among

indicted by a Chicago jury for
being accessory to the murder of
Dr. Cronin, another Irish agitator,
who made himself obnoxious to the
Clan-ua-Gael or the American
branch of the Irish Land League of

Cronin charged Sullivan with em-
bezzling $100,000 of the League's

Sullivan and other members of the
league conspired to have him

• MURDER MOST FOUL.
Probably the most dastardly cruel
murder ever recorded in the annals•
of crime is that of Dr. Cronin in
Chicago by members of the Irish
Land League, an investigation unto
which is now and has been for sev-
eral weeks going on in Chicago.
The almost inconceivably devilish
ingenuity resorted to by members
of an organized Irish revolutionary
society to get Dr. Cronin " remov-
ed " would seem to place the per.
petratora, aiders and abettors of the
foul dead almost outside the pale of
human beings. To briefly outline
this gross inhuman murder, it may
be stated that about two weeks be-
p+
fore the murder, Iceman Sullivan
arranged with Dr. Cronin to attend
