Freedom in Trade Liberty in Boll in tuesday april 16, 1891. The Anno at Kkt View. The character of the More recent Manitoba legislation has earned for it the Peculiar distinction of a Field Day Ottawa. It a Apt at any time to be reckless and defiant and is moderately certain to be always marked by a painful ignorance of the Bounds within which our local legislators May safely distort them in consequence of these peculiarities it has become a regular annual custom at Ottawa to pass in review a number of Manitoba Evott a a preliminary to their being publicly condemned and ignominiously burned a1 to Betake. No other province is so Diu tin Goi bed. A legislature it is True May trip occasionally and pass an act that Doea not the ordeal of a severe inspection Bat the Blunder w of irregular occurrence and bean on the face of it the stamp of inadvertence. In Manitoba it is different. We Blunder regularly and invariably and often not without evidence of doing it wantonly. This is one of the singular characteristics of the legislation which has been passed under the direction and control of the present government. Such distinction As there May be a the exposure of a Man of crude ill digested and unconstitutional legislation regularly every year belongs to Manitoba alone. This year the list embraces some eight or ten note to which the of Justice sir John Thompson eels it his duty to take dec edtion in a regular., formal report to the executive Council. Only two however Are actually disallowed one relating to the quarantine and inspection of animals brought into the province and the other that could properly be described a an act to confiscate the property of companies that do not pay a tax to the province and submit themselves to the control of or. Joseph Martin. Four or five others Are objectionable but a they Are of a purely local character and affect no material interest they Are allowed to rather it was Nob thought expedient to apply the drastic remedy of disallowance. The minister of Justice is evidently of the opinion that the act abolishing the dual Lan Guage system is Ultra Vires of the Legi Latura the question involved in it however is one of constitutional interpretation pure and simple and As it can easily be referred to the courts the minister deems it the better policy to leave to those who May be aggrieved by it the adoption of this remedy. The school legis lation in already in the courts and until a cattlemen to on Appeal is reached it will not be decesary to interfere with any authority vested in Tho Dominion executive by the act of confederation or the Manitoba act. As it would appear go of the settled policy of the Federal government to waive its prerogative of disallowance excepting when necessary to Correct the obviously unconstitutional legislation of the provinces we Are strongly of the opinion that some Mote satisfactory Means might be employed to Deal with those objectionable cases. Sir John Thompson evidently believes that the dual language and school acts Are Ultra Vires of the Manitoba legislature yet he leaves them to the courts. Tivo other he holds to be Ultra Viree and he own them. Why not Deal with All alike if con Validity is to be the test it would to vastly More satisfactory if some simple Means were provided whereby any act that was challenged Sauld be referred to the courts. The minister of Justice a almost necessarily a sound Law yer bub his judgment does not carry the same weight or respect As would that of a Bench of judges. A year ago the Manitoba legislature pawed a measure under which the Validity of any act might easily be referred to the judges but the reference presupposes the consent of the attorney general. Under that Law the Aoh ool question might have been referred twelve months ago and by this time would probably be settled to far a the courts were concerned. But although it waa a measure introduced by the attorney general himself he stubbornly refused to consent to a reference of the school legislation. We cannot there upon depend on the local Legislatures for an easy reference of All disputed or doubtful acts As the governments that Are responsible for them cannot be made to give their con if it were possible for the Dominion parliament to provide some simple inexpensive machinery by which the Validity of a provincial act could be tested on the action of any person who conceited himself interested Ard was willing to move in 4he matter it would be More satisfactory than the present policy of disallowance. Failing other remedy we Welcome what we have. The two Manitoba Aota recently Dis allowed were clearly bad and it is Well some authority Riata to invalidate them. Traetow his Natow the. Attorney general Titt no time in Baring of the Dia omd the str kit railway Oit Kestion. There is marked opposite opinion both at the Council Board and amongst the citizens who have looked into the matter at All upon the proposition now being considered by the City Council for an electric Street railway system. There Are those who How that not to immediately accept and close with Tho offer would be an act of timidity unworthy of a corporation of much less pretensions than Winnipeg and one that must nears. Warily retard the growth and Prosperity of the City and there Are others who a determinedly hold that to do so would be an act of sheer madness and one involving More than giving paying o have it Public franchise so valuable that within a couple of years and for a Quarter of a Century afterwards we would be All kicking ourselves for having done it and there Are still others perhaps because they have not so closely studied the matter a no be Able to pass upon it who take an intermediate View that the proposition should neither be accepted nor rejected off band but believe that the scheme is fraught with Auch Large possible Monseque rises action should simply be suspended to obtain the fullest possible information from older and More experienced cities in Canada and the United states for guidance. The free Presa confesses to belonging to the last class and there Fye its Humble advice to the City Council in to suspend further action upon the proposition and it once Send the City Engineer and perhaps two of the Moat capable aldermen say one each of opposite views to half a dozen cities to look thoroughly into their experience and in the Light of a report to be thus obtained and knowledge of our own circumstances to act resolutely. The Only pos sible objections to such a course of action Are the two of delay and expense. These of course Are cot to be ignored but to our Way of thinking they weigh but very lightly against the great and abiding importance of the mat Ter in question and the interests at stake. Lacrosse Good 8euaou, for intermediate Luuis. There a every indication that tie pre out is going to to a Mont successful season in the history of the Manitoba Lacrosse association. There will be a triangular Duel Tor the stupor championship Between the Winnipeg a the Ninetieth and the Brandou and should the teams be evenly matched the race will be Ai exciting one. Most of the playing in the province this year will be done for the inter mediate championship which in supposed to Catry a Pennant with it though that trophy a a yet non existent. It a probable there will be More than a dozen clubs competing for this Honor. In tha Eastern District which includes Thia City and Portage la Prai Rie there Are five intermediate the North ends Junior Winnipeg a Junior Ninetieth and the Leland of this ciby and the Portage la Prairie team. The District schedules have to be finished by aukust. The Northwestern District championship will probably be fought out Between Alinne Dosa. Rapid City and Neepawa although Minnedosa in As yet Tho Only one of obese three teams that is a member of the association. In the District where there were no intermediate matches last year Barberry has re organized and will re enter the Assoc a Ion. The Brandon juniors a the other intermediate club in the District. Deloraine is alone in its glory in the Southern District but if Tho Plum greeks drop out of the senior ranks a Good inter mediate District could be made up of Deloraine Plum greek and Hartney. Billy Hopkins is residing Ari the later place and is organizing a team. Man Itou and Morden have club Bud they Are not affiliated with the ase Why should they not come in and Muke a District of themselves this would make no districts with fifteen and the team thu pulled the intermediate championship out of Auch a swarm of would richly deserve to Fly a Pennant for rhe succeeding Yew.

The april number of the review of review new York edition of thinks that the recent Dominion elections served to bring into Clear Relief tha fact that the exterior re lations of the English speaking countries to each other Are beginning More and More to dominate questions of internal politics. The elections in the Dominion it cays have turned upon no other question save Thia alone upon what Terma shall Canada be toward the British Empire and toward the american Republic sir John Macdonald the Veteran Premier with his Fidus Achaea sir Harlea Tupper commissioner of the Dominion and Leir presumptive to the premiership appealed to the canadians for a majority in favor of the maintenance of the Imperial connection while they have endeavoured by every Means in their Pawer to make each elector feel that voting for their Opp Ocenta he waa voting in Ivor of the annexation of the Dominion to the United states. Thia May have been Clever electioneering and indeed it has Jeen crowned with some measure of immediate Success. But from the Point of View of the maintenance of the Imperial fabric sir John Mao Donnld a tactics Are far More menacing than sir Richard Cartwright s aspirations for free Trade with the United states. The review of review thua boldly reverses the position of the parties and puts the tories on the defence. Here a its argument and it one that will commend itself to the More temperate and reflecting of canadians no doubt it waa very tempting to attach Ibe stigma of treason to the opposition but it s the last resort and the temporary advantage which it brings to a party a dearly nought at a Price which the state must pay. He does a poor service to his country who Tor the Sake of defeating his adversary con trives to convince the larger half of his fellow subjects that the smaller half Are disloyal.

Taken in the senior teams and their respective strength is Bemer canvassed though thus Early in the season it is difficult to do so with any degree of certainty. Last year the winnings in the . Thampi Onazip series had a snap the Ninetieth were not in the race and the country teams were too weak to make any kind of a it find against the Winnipeg twelve. This year it will be different. The Ninetieth Are in the schedule and the Brandon Promise to be Strong. They have been reinforced by Pickering who waa a member of Tho Paris Champion team in 1888, a Good Home player and Tate whose work at inside Home materially helped the Winnipega last year will play the same position for the Brandon Thia year.

It a quite possible that one half of the Canadian people being fools May san Peck the other half of being traitors. By by after a due proportion of the Wentig chiding of this and other foreign reviewers we May get to understand ourselves better and to see and recognize the fact that we Are not snob scape races As we had taken ourselves to be. There is no treason in Canada. There a a great Deal however of that patriotism that would make Canada a More prosperous and progressive country than it is.

It is True distance Lendo and it cannot be other than attractive and desirable for the traveller to watch the locomotive stud train Glide around an approaching curve up Grade Down Grade across the Plain Valley and Stream along the Mountain tide through the Canyon or around the base of Snow capped Peak.
