For the 1,100 miles between Selkirk and Jasper Valley, $13,000,000, which is three anillions more than the aver- age of the 200 miles just tendered for, though t ese 200 miles are werse than any part West to the Rocky Mountains. From Jasper Volley to Fort Moody, 550 miles, divided inte two portions-—from Jasper Houses io Kamloops, 325 miles ; from Kamloops to Burrard, 225 niles, in all 550 mniles, costing $30,000,000.

showed t isp Columbic over $600,000 during his term of office over a railway survey which would

be usoless if the new pelicy of the

Opposition were followed, The Pembina branch cost 1,750,000. The Fort Willan and Nipissing would cost $24,- 000,00". Thus the whole cost from Ot- tawa to the Pacific would be $82,870,000. From the land sales during ten years the

mae ( if : naa} Government expected $38,000,000 in cash

and $32.00,C00 in morigages. He showed that ot! »uthorities, besides Fleming, be- lieved in the figures alone given, both as to the cost of the railway and the proceeds from land sales He showed that the Globe. which was in the confidence of Mc- Kenzie. \ad said that if McKenzie had

been kep* in power the construction of the

road in British Columbia would have been im full operation and that a year had been lost by the change in Government. Blake, he said. :aight retort that assuming that

all these ‘hings were true, the road would have tobe run atan enormous loss each year. tie (Mr. Tapper) had received a letter from the Superintendent of the Pembina Branch, and the returns for the month of March were $7,000 for passengers and $17.72 for freight. In two years they would have 700 miles in operation, and they had every reason to believe that for every mile of it the country would havea fair and reasonable return. He said that when BMecKenzie had in 1877 asked by advertise ment for tenders for the construc- tion of the road, he got no bids. The country jn the Northwest had so changed, the prospects were so wonderfully im- proved, that now the Government could easily secure the building of the read from Manitoeb> to the Pacific for $13,000,000 and twenty-six million acres of land.

Canada Temperance Act.

Tue following is a summary of the Chief Justice’s judgment in the cass of Frederic- ton vs. the Queen, which invelves the con- atitutienality of the Canada Temperance Act :—

His Lordship the Chief Justice, in deliv- ering judgment, explained the nature ef the appeal, and the provisions of the Can- ada ‘‘emperance Act. It was contended, assuming that the Parliament of Canada had the power to pass an Act for the pro- hibition of the trafiic in intexicating liquors, that the first part of the Act was a relegation of legislative power to a portion of the people, and that Parlia- ment had no right to delegate such powers and to make legislation subject to its being adopted by another bedy. We fvund no limitation in the British North America Act to prevent the passing of legislation which might be applicable to one part of the Dominion and net te another. This, however, was a general law, although its provisions were not to be brought inte op- eration at the same time throughout the whole Pominion. The real question arose : ** Has tue Deminion Parliament power to prohibii the sale of intoxicating liquor f if we contended that this was strictly a Temperance Act, passed solely for the pro- motion of teuperance, and thet the sale of spiritueus liquor and the granting of licen- ces therefor, and laws for the prevention of drunkenness, were within the exclusive powers of the local Legislatures ; if the Do- miniov Parliament legislated strictly with- in the powers conferred by the B. N. A. Act, they had no right to inquire what

motive induced Parliament te exer- eise the powers. This statute de- eared that the Dominien Parliament

had power te make laws for the peace, order and good government ef Canada in relation to all matters not coming within the classes of subjects assigned exclusively to the Levislatures of the Provinces. If, then, Variiament in its wisdom deemed it expedient for the peace, order and good government of Canada so to regulate trade and commerce as to restrict or prohibit trade or trailic im intoxicating liquor, it mattered not so far as they were concerned, ner he i they the right to enquire whether the le islation was prempted by a desire to establish uniformity of legislation with res- pect te the trafic dealt with, to increase or diminish such tratlic, to diminish crime, or for the promotion of temperance, er to in any ether way regulate trade or commerce within the scope of tho legislative power confiied to Parliament for securing the peace, order and good government of Cana- da. iho efisct of a regulation of trade migh' be to aid the temperance cause, but that vould not make the legislation ultra vives if the enactment was a regulation of trade and commerce. The power te make

‘a law was all they could judge of. The ‘recital of the object of the Act contained in ithe preamble could notin any way affect He pointed ont that Parliament had control in ‘matters relating to trade and commerce and ‘the importation and manufacture of spiri- ‘tueus liquors, and with reference to this | particular traffic, held that if it had power ite regulate, it had also power to prohibit. ‘ft had been contended that if the.Do- ‘miaion Parliament had the right to prohibt ‘this traffic, it would interfere with the right ‘of the local Legislatures to grant tavern

‘and shop licenses, granted them lunder the B. N. A. Act, and to de- iprive them ef the revenue derived

| therefrom. If they precluded the Do. ‘minion Parliament from legislating with respect to that branch of trade and com- merce carried on in intoxicating liquors, they would take the right to regulate alike foreign and internal commerce. When the Dominien Parliament, in its undoubted right, adopted legislation which interfered with local legislation, then the latter must give way. Legislation respecting trade and }eommerce was not te be overridden by ject over which power had been given to the loeal legislature. He pointed out that it was also clear that the lecal Legislature had no power io pre- hibit, and mentioned that this had been

American Beef Shipments.

| The rapid increase in the American ex-)

perts of cattle and fresh beef to Great Bri- tain is at present a subject of great interest to dealers in New York and Boston, and the enterprise is inviting capital and as- suming proportions little anticipated by its promoters. The following table shows the

Por the first three months of the present year the shipments have been heavy as shown by the subjoined tigures and indicate the increased business expected by shippers during the coming summer.

11,939 head cattle, vaiue...... $1,125,459 5,-36 sheep, eg ce 53,425 16,857,503 lbs fresh beef, valued... 1,457,750 452,465 Ibs iresh mutton, value 34,200

The shipments during the summer will consist largely in live cattle, which saves to the shipper seVeral items of expense. Itis generally thought that there is more profit tobe derived from live cattle than from fresh beef, although there is a difference ef opinion on this point. Only the best Am- erican cattle are shipped. These can {be landed at the docks of Liverpool at a cost of £8 per head, and are worth on their arrival an average of £50. The dressed beef: can be shipped at acost of twe cents per pound. ft is claimed by American shippers that under anything like favorable circum- stances American beef can be put upon the English makets two cents a pound below what the English producer can possibly afford to sell at. These facts explain the increasing demand fer Ainerican beef, and have been the subject of anxious comment by the British press and producers.—Hz. Merald.

American Capital in Canadian

Mines.

American capitalists are buying up Can- adian mining properties right and left. One hears of them making purchases of this sort east, west, north or south. They do not seem particular as to the nature

terprise and push. In some former in- stances they achieved splendid success. Take the case of Silver Islet near Arthur's Landing, Lake Superior. It was in the hands ef a Montreal company that just fooled around the rich depesit it contained, and accomplished little er nething. But when it fell inte more vigorous hands it turned out to be a bonanza with millions in it. — News.

Why could she not start at daylight| i stead of at 7 a. m., be over at about 8 er 9! oclock, She would then have ample time to load and return by 6cr7 p.m. As there is such a quantity of freight at Pietou landing, Mr, Mitchell should have made a push before

over. Perhaps Mr. Mitchell will say he did not know there was such a quantity of freight. I say this, that if he did not know he should have known it, and if he did know it, he nee his daty in not making the steamer at least try and make the round trips.
