The Liquor License Question.

Commenting upon the descison of the Privy Council of England, in the case of the McCar thy Act, the Canadian Law Times—a leading legal authority— Bays:

“The holding that the Dominion Parliament eannot pass a licensing Act, instead of clearing vp the inconsistency, leaves the limits of legis- lative jurisdiction between the Provinces and the Dominion quite as uncertain as ever they were,

“The Canada Temperance Act is usually spoken ofasa prohibitory Act. Assuming it to be so, the only inference to be drawn from a compari- son of Russell's case with Hodge's case is that the Provinces may permit (license) liquor selling while the Dominion may prohibit it. But if the Dominicn can prohibit it at will, how can the Provinces permit or license it? And if the Prov- inces can license it, why should the Dominion have power to prohibitit?!

“But the Canada Temperance Act is not a pro- hibitory Actin the strict sense ofthe term. Itisa licensing Act—more stringent than usual—but atillin principle a licensing Act. The head note to Russell's case states the etfect of the Act as follows: it ‘uniformly prohibits the sale of intoxi- eating liquors except in wholesale quantities or for certair. specified purposes, reguiaies the tratiic in the excepted cases, makes sales of liquors in violation of the prohibitions and regulations con tained in the Act criminal offences, Kc.’ Words | could not be more aptly used te describe a licens- ing Act. ‘lo prohibit the saie except in such way as the legislature may prescribe, is to license the Sale according to the regulations laid down by the legislature, and if the Dominion might do all this once, why not again ?

“The Canaca Temperance Act was held to bea measure designed for the ‘peace, order and good government of Canada,a measure to promote temperance—not prohibition—by means of a uni- form law throughout the Dominion, If a pro- hibitory law, or a stringent license iaw, is 2 law for the peace, order, and good government o Canada, why is nota ticensing Act less stringent within the meaning of the same words.

“What the resuit will be it is impossible to forecast. It is rumoured that another case will be presented to test the validiiy of the Canada Temperance Act, But that Act, having been once held valid, cannot now be held invalid. The Privy Council being the highest appelate Court for us is bound te follow its own decisions, The Act muat therefore stand asa sort of iegislative excresence on the Dominion statute book. ‘The only way oat of the muddle is for the Imperial Parliament to enlarge the scope of article @ of section 92, of the BK. N. A. Act so as to leave the jurisdiction of the Provinces unquestionable. It is iy that the Privy Council do not exercise more foresizht in deciding upon constitutional questions, and a greater pity that they do not take broader views of the questious presented to tiem, instead of confining themseives to a min- ute ana harrow point which Gsitermines but a fraction of the whole question at issue. We have now had three cases before the Pri.y Council, ali designed to ascertain whether the right to regu- late the liquor traffie resides with the Dominion or with the Provinces. The three cases have been decided, but not the question in dispute. So it was with the law stanip question. Their jord- ships heid the Act invalid on one of the grounds arguec before them, and left the other point undecided. The whole question may therefore be said to be still open,”

Who Pays the Duty ?

“Througheat the whole arrangement of the tarill, the fact should be continualiv kept in view thet when a foreign article comes into competition with a native one ia fall supply the foreign producer pays the whole daty. If the nelive article is not in full smppiy or| svilicient for the home demand, the con- sumer paye a portion oi the duty proportion- ate to the quantity required from abroad And when the article ie not produced at all in the cousuming country, the consumer pays the whole duty.”

The above exiract is from the Week, Professor Goldwin Smith’s paper, a high au'bority with the Opposition some‘imes. The same remarks with reference to the tariff,has been said by othe:s over and bver again since the iutroduction of the

* National Policy. But it is so hard to con-

vinee a dyed-ia-the-wool Grit, that there are those amongst us who still hold that it is the cousumer who always pays the duty. This taise doctrine has been preach- ed by evéry Grit stump orator in the country. In this Province in particular, during the last two Do- winion elections, it was madethe chief party ery of the Opposition. Their can- didates told the people at the meetings that of course it was the consumer who paid the duty. It was no use to tell them that they were grossly misrepresent- ivg the facts. ‘Their answer was gener- ally somethiog like this: “Of course the cousomer pays the daty. Imported ar- ticles ave purchased for a certain price. To this price the duty is added, and the

man who buys these articles pays the duty along with the original price.” This was the style of argument used.

Some whe pretended to believe in such foolish assertions no doubt knew to the contrary—others did not. Before the next campatyn begins, this question should be carefully considered by those who perhaps, led into error by political aspirants who knew, or ought to have keown, better. By this time every obe ought to fully understand that the consumer does not always pay the duty.

the Concert of Last Evening.

__, a

Tue Concert, promoted by Mrs. F. T. Newbery and Mr sufferers by smallpox, was very successfn! The hall was crowded; the electric lights mede ail bright; and the musie was really good. A proof of the latter faet may be fond in the fact that a large proportion of the audience sat on rough, cushionless benches without backs—and sat it out! It is too bad that in a well-:o-do community like this there is nut better accommodation for large gatherings of the people. Forcing ladies of this age to sit on benches such as were used in backwoods sehoolhousas a hun- dred years ago, is too utterly utter—thongh it is to be charmed by beautiful music. We shall not presume to criticise the various verfurmers. But.we must express our pleasure at seeing and hearing Mr. Hierman'’s on the boards once again; and also with the instramenta? solos played by Messrs, M jor Galbraith and Fred Morris on their first appearance.

than he was on his first appearance, TuvurRspay, Jan. 21,.--Continued.

ALFRED TOMLINS (sworn)--Examined by Mr. Morson—Received the gate bar, etc, from the City Marshal) at the time of the Coroner's In quest on the body of Callaghan.

B. SMITH (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Hodgson—I was acquainted with Callaghan. He lived at Sherwood Cemetery. I went to the cemetery to see Callaghan’s body on the day it was found. On arrival there I saw Callaghan lying face downwards with a pillow across the back of hishead. When the pillets was remo ved Isaw that the back of his head was smashed in. I never saw such a sight before. The bones were broken intoa pulp. His legs were, I think, drawn up. If was there when the gate bar was found in the ceNar. It was found end down in the water. I went into the csllarand searched it, I think I sawa potato | think there was some brown hair on it. Callaghan's throat was cut. He aiso had a bad cut over the forehead. Callaghan was well off. He had plenty of cash.

Examined by Mr. Peters, -He kept his money in the Bank. Have spoken to him two or three times during the last three or four years.

Mrs. Tieknay (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Hodgson,—Iam a sister of Callaghan and live in Charlottetown. Callaghan carried a watch with a chain attached, (Watch chain shown). This chain is very hke the one owned by Callaghan.

beetle

When IT saw the chain there was nothing on it. At ane time he gave me a gold coin to keep for

him. He afterwards asked me for it. and told ms he was going to put it on his watch chain. Watch shown). Ibave not seen Callaghan for about two years, and cannot identify watch.

icxamined by Mr. Peters—Callaghan had a watch the Jast time Isaw him. It was not like the watch shown me. He had another watch at one time, but I heard he changed it. The only watch I ever saw with him was the one found on his table after death. Isaw a chain with Calla- xhan about two years before his death which was much like the one now shown me. This chain was first shown me after Callaghan’s death at the coroner's inquest. Cailaghan transacted his own business so faras I know. The coin he gave me to keep was a gold one. Mr. Curtis showed me a chain, but it was not like thisone. 1 never saw this chain until I was examined before.

Re-examined by Mr, Hodgson—The chain shown me by Mr. Curtis had a little bone attached to the end of it. (Watch shown.) This watch isthe one I saw with Callaghan.

EWEN McCDOUGALL (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Morson—I knew Callaghan for five or six years [remember getting a gold coin for him. The watch chain he wore at the time he got the coin was of German silver. (Chain presented.) This r@embles the chain worn by Callaghan. I re- member the bars in the chain.

Examined by Mr. Peters—I last saw a chain with Callaghan in the summer of 1884. He had a coin on it. I think the coin would leavea slight mark on the link on which it was fastened. I had a coin similar tothe one worn by Callaghan. [ do not know where it is now. I think I chang-

edit in Montreal. The gold coin 1 save Cal- laghan was an ordinary Newfoundland two dollar gold piece. There are many of them around,

W, W. WELLNER (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Morson—I knew Callaghan well. I have cleaned and repaired watches fer him several times. I keep the number of the watches in my book. I have in my book three entries of having repaired watches for Callaghan. The first entry is June 28, 1873, and the number of the watch is 86,784. The second entry isin August 17, 1874. Number of watch, 86,784. The third entry is in October 13, 1876. Number of watch, 86,784. The nunrber of the watch nowshown me is the same as that entered in my book. I have no doubt whatever about it. Callaghan was at my store several times since these entries. I made an arrangement with him that if he would keep my plot in the cemetery in order I would repair his watches. have had a watch from Callaghan several times since entries were made, I had it last about two yearSago. I believe the watch shown me is the same one,

HENRY SWAN, (sworn)—I live on Mount Edward Road. I knew the deceased Callaghan. Saw him last about three weeks before news of the murder was heard. He showed me his watch chain about last July tweivemonth. It was @ yellow looking chain with long bars and short links. The long bars; were about an inch long. They were filled links. One link was lost out (chain shown) thisleoksa good deal like it. It looks to m? very much like the chain, but I would not swear to it. I think there was one gold piece attached to it.

Cross-examined by Mr. Peters—I saw the chain in July, 1854. I was working with him then for two or three days at atime. He lost a piece out when he was working at the hay. 1 can’t say whether he had more than one chain. I think he had then a silver watch. I have seen the chain many times = never had it in my hands. He showed it to me the time he lost a link out of it. Callaghan and I had some dealings. Sometimes he owed me and sometimes I owed him. He lent me money and hada note of mine at the time of his death. I have lived in the neighborhood about four years. I mentioned about the chain to Pat Berrigan. I was not before the Grand Jury and made no written statement about the chain. Callaghan Was searching for the piece lost out of the chain.

GrEorGE JURY, (sworn), I am a watchmaker. I knew Callaghan. I repaired a watch for Callaghan on the 18th of May, 1881. The number of the watch was 86,784. (watch shown.) That is the Watch I repaired. It has the same number and was made by the same maker. I repaired the watch subsequentiy. but did not enter it in the books.

To Mr. Peters.—I do not remember repairing any watch for Callaghan except that one. I did not take much notice of the chain. (Chain shown) This chain is worth about one dollar.

GEoRGF RACKEM, (sworn) Ilivein Chariotte- town on Orlebar street, corner of Euston street. I knew Callaghan—have known him since he was atthe Cemetery. Hedealt with me for provis- ions and bread. I have seen him take ‘out his watch and bandle the guard. It was a guard with long bars and short links. Isawit within a few days of his decease. (Chain shown.) This is like it. I noticed that one of the bars was absent.

Earle, in aid of the | There was a gold piece attached tothe chain. It

was not quite so large as a half sovereign.

| Henry CONDALL (sworn)—I was foreman of | the Grand Jury last term. I received from the | Station Master at Mount Stewart a gold coin. ' Thatisthe coin. (Produces coin.)

To Mr. Peters—Only one coin was then pro- duced ; a chain wasalso produced. I think it was produced by a constable. Ithink he got it from a man named McCarthy. It came from one of the officers of the law. (Watch shown.) This looks like one of the watches produced. Three watches were produced to the Grand Jury. The watches were brought together to us by one of the officers. (Chain shown.) I think this was one of the chains produced,

GEORGE KACKEM rire-called).—(Coin shown). That is the coin that was attached to Callaghan’s watch. Callagnan took the coin to me and asked me if a hole could be bored in it. I had never before seen a Newfoundland gold coin. Callaghan had an old picce of silver—a Dutch coin. I took an old, hardsaw file and ¢bored a hole through the silver piece. A short time after that showed me the gold piece on the guard, and handed the watch guard and gold piece attached to me. It was a Newfoundland $2 gold piece. Ile was in my shop a day ortwo previous to the ae - which he was supposed to have been mur- dered.

To Mr. Peters—I noticed the bar out of the chain some two months before he died. In the ; summer of 1884 the chain was, I fancy, complete. }@he only mark by which I identify the coin is that it wasa $2 gold piece of Newfoundland. I would not attempt to identify the watch,

The Court adjourned. Fripay Morniye, Jan. 22. Court opened at 11 o'clock. The first witness called was Duncan McMtLLan (sworn)—Kxamined by Mr, Morson—I live in Charlottetown and keep an | hotel known asthe North Star. I remember the

}time Callaghan was murdered; also remember being at R. R, Station about that time. I am

there every morning upon arrival of trains look- ing for passengers, On the day in question I was

0 + et

late for the Souris train, and saw a man standing on the platform. He said he wanted to come up and stay with me. Hetold me that he and Her man McDonald had stayed at. miy place last sum- mer, atthe time of the Exhibition, He told me his name owas Melnnis, and that be was from Harmony. I asked him if he was one of the McInnis’ from East Point. He said no; but that he was a cousin of theirs. He said he wasa cousin of Patrick Mc- Innis, the blackstaith. I then took him up to my hotel. He remained at my place until the afternoon of the following day, when he asked me if I was going down in time for the out-going train. I roplied yes;if Lhere are any passangers who wanttogo. Atthe time I started for the train the man hed left my house. I did not see him at the station, He had not paid his bill at my house and I was anxious to find him, So I went through the train, He was a clean-shaven man butI did not take much notice. I was in J. B. Macdonald’s Boot Store last July and saw a man in the custody of constables. I thought itwas the same man ag Was at my place and left without paying his bil), It was about the middle of May when this man came to my place, but | cannot state positively as to the day of the week. The manand constables were crossing the street at ashort distance from me. The man had no baggage when he put up at my house. Ido not know that the prisoner in the dock is the same man. As I saw him with the constables, I came to the conclusion that he was the same mon who had stayed at my house.

Cross-examined by F. Peters—I do not know any McInnis’ at Haraieny. but there are a great many to the Eastward whom I do know, particu- larly about East Point. 1 cannot tell positively the date when this man was at my place, but think it was some time about the middle of May. What became of him I cannot tell. I will not swear that he was not a McInnis from some place tothe Eastward. [last saw him at my place at noon of the day he left there. The man, accom- panied by the constables, was going in the direc tion of the jail. His face was turned towards me. [remarked at the time thatthe prisoner was a man I was after for a board bill.

Re-examined by Mr. Morson,—I remember Henry Green, who was tried at the last term of this Court. I know him well. He was noi the man I saw in custody of the constables.

Henry CUNDALL (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Morson.—I keep a meteorological record. These observations are noted three times aday. The 19th of May last was fair weather. It was rain- ing onthe morning of May 20th. There was ao rain on the 2ist, nor on the day following. On the 23rd there was rain from noon till 3 p. m. The 2ath was a clearday. The 25th was cloudy but there was no rain. It rained from 7 toe 9 o'clock on the morning of the 26th. The morning of the 27th was fine, but cloudy, and it rained in the afternoon. Court adjourned at one o'clock.

Jourt adjourned, AFTERNOON. The first witness called after re-aesemb- ling of Court was—

Wma. Russet (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Morson-—-I am Mr. H. J. Cundall’s assisiant in the Meteorological Ofice. Itis part of my duty to take observations at seven o’clock-in the morh- ing and also at midnight. On the !%th May last the weather was fine in the morning with raia& in the afternoon. On the 20tn May it rained until i0 o'clock in the forenoon, after that hour it was cloudy throughout the day. The next morging was also cloudy, but sometime in the forendh it cleared up. The morning of the 22nd was -fair, the afternoon cloudy with rain at midnight. On the .23rd it rained from 7.15 a.m. to 3p. m., and was cloudy at midnight. The morning of the

24th was cloudy, the afternoon and midnight clear. The 25th was cloudy allday. It rained from 7 a.m, to8.30 p.m. on the 26th. The 27th

opened clear in the morning and became cloudy with rain from 4.30 to 7 p.m. This witness was not cross-examined,

Georée H, TAYLOR (sworn)--Examined by Mr.

MeNeill.—I live in Charlottetown. Iam a watch- maker. On February 21, 1885, I received a v h

for repairs from Alexander Gillis. The nu xy of the watch was 506. (Watch shown.) This is the same watch. Gillis left another watch with me on the 27th March, number 32,252. Gillis did not call for the watch. ‘Two consiables called for it, but did not take it away.

OLIVER Goop (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Mor- son.—I live on Winsloe Road. I was weli ac- quainted with Callaghan. I was inthe habit of seeing him nearly every aay for about four years. Callaghan had a stee! watch chain about seven years ago. (Chain shown.) I have seen Callaghan wear a chain like this. [ saw Callaghan with a chain like this about the 22nd April last; also saw him with the same chain on the 3rd or 4th of May. The chain had a gold Newfundland coin anda key aitached; also a small charm, I remember a pinchbeck watch Callaghan used to wear about 7

ears ago. (Watch shown.) This is much ike the watch Isaw with Calaghan. I alsosaw another watch with Callaghan about four years ago. (Watch shown.) This resembles it, Cal- laghan sometimes carried two watches. (Coin shown.) fhis one. I think Callaghan’s was a $2.50 w-

oundland gold coin.

Cross-examined by F. Peters—It is about four — since I saw Callaghan with a watch ike the one now shown. I do not know eee what Callaghan did with this watch, and I will not swear positively what the value of the gold coin on Callaghan‘s chain was. I never saw a silver coin on his chain,

LEPTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Higher Insurance.

Sir,—Some time ago, the writer had to rebew some fire insnrance policies and, on making application to the agent, was in- formed that his Company had instructed him that no renewals would be taken unless twenty per cent additional was paid, mak ing, on three policies, an increase of sixty- one dollars for the same amount of insurance, ani this because of the mule- like action of the opponents of waterworks at the Council board.

These same genilemen are before the electors again ; this time as ardent sup- porters of waterworks. They have eaten ali their big talk and rant, and are now convinced that the taxpayers want water- works, Thei@ past actions loudly declare that they cannot ba depended on in this matter —it is but a dodge to catch votes,

Mr. 8. McRae, the energetic and elo- quent (see his speeches as reported from time to time) misrepresentative of Ward 4, is again asking to be returned. He severely condemns several decisions of the Council and, strange to say, at the Council board he voted for them. It will be very easy for the voters to decide whether to vote for him or for Mr. John Lewis, a gontloman whose sterling qualities are well known in Charlottetown.

Ward 4 voted right last January, and are bound to hold the ground gained and score another victory for progress and good government, by supporting Mayor Beer and returning Mr. Lewis to represent the inter- ests of the Ward at the Council beard for the next two yearr.

The Subway scheme and the expected visit of the Northern Light are among the leading topics here.

The Methodist congregation at Souris have purchased a new sleigh, and the con- gregation at Dundas a new robe for the use of the minister on the circuit.

On Wednesday evening, the 20th inst., we were favored with a grand concert, by several of the leading vocalists of Char- lottetown. The large audience was de- lighted for two hours by a musical treat that is seldom enjoyed here. A vote of thanks was moved. by Dr. Muitart, and seconded by Mr. Curric, which was carried by acclamation.

The first sociable, by the ladies of the Methodist Church, was held at Mrs. Wright’s, and was quite a success.

1 ENTLEMEN,~ In ecompliaice with the

requisition of several hundred cit‘gena,

I eonsider it my duty to offer as a candidate for the Mayoralty of this city

If elected I shall administer the city affairs economically, and as a guarantee of my future actions I may mention that durirg my former occupancy of the C vic Cheir, debentures to the am*unt of several thonsand dollars were paid (ff an occurrence which did not happen for many years prev ously, :

In regard to a system of “ater supply, it is now generally conceded that a system of sewerage would sooner or later have to fol- low the introdvection of water works. Any private compsny having the privilege of making profits from water works, in this city, should be rcqaired to coustruct sewerage, if, after proper investigation, it be found that wat r works wonld necessitate sewerage. Sheald a majority of the City Coancillors decm it desirable to bring in a supply of pure water, for domestic as well as for fire pur- poses, without entailing any great additional taxation, I would approve of the same, pro- vided the question were submitted to a meeting of the citizens for their consent

I shall pursue the same course in the future as in the past in regard to saving an’ expead- ing the citizens’ taxes without extravagance, and will otherwise, if elected, do all in my power to serve the best interests of the city,
