THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUS
TRALTA.

After all, the most important event
in the British empire is the formation
of the commonwealth of Australia, as
the new federation of the Australian
colonies is to be called This is a
closer union than that of the Cana
dian provinces, and has more features
of autonomy. 1t is modelled quite close
ly upon the system of the United
States, and. with the single exception
OF the reservation of the right of the
British government to appoint a COVER
nor-general from time to time, would
answer all the purposes OF a separate
national government.
In some respects the Federal Consti-
tuition of Australia is more advanced
than that of the United States, particu-
larly in providing uniform legislation
on some important subjects we have
left to the states, with very doubtful
results 1t provides that the control Of
all customs taxation shall vest in the
/ Federal parliament. together with the
control of the military forces OF the
/ commonwealth, of the laws relating to
/ marriage and inheritance, to light
| houses, and merchapt shipping to the
| admission and naturalization of aliens,
/ to the control of banking and of the
mints, and to the postal and telegraph
| systems of the continent. On the other
hand, il proposes to safeguard the sepa-
rate states in the possession OF all pow
ers OF self-government not expressly
handed over to the Federal power; ii
provides that their boundaries may not
be altered, nor their free control and
disposition of their lands interfered
with: that their exclusive rights OF
land and Of direct taxation shall not be
infringed; and that their great public
works-the railroads of the country
shall remain under the control of the
State Parliaments, subject only to this
provisOs that they shall be at all time.

TALLY CLOSED.
Dover. Feb. 3.-The State Senate yes
terday afternoon did nothing beyond
considering, in executive session, sew
eral appointments recently made by
the governor. All of the appointments
were confirmed save that of Roman
Tammany to be superintendent OF
schools in Sussex county. Senator
Moore is said to have objected, and
Tammany's case was held over. This
is the first time that the Senate has
ever been called upon to act on, an
pOintments by the governor. Hereto
fore any appointments made by the ex-
ecutive were final and did not have to
be confirmed.
In the afternoon the House. resolved
itself into a committee Of the whole TO
consider the bill fixing the salaries OF
the judges The bill as presented gave
the chief justice and the chancellor
each SO $500 and the four associates
each SO 800 a year. An attempt was
made to increase the figures to $4,000
and SO 800, but no decision was reached.
The members of the New Castle coun-
ty bar want the salaries to be respec-
lively $4,000 and $4,000.
The Senate adopted the conference
committees report authorizing the
committees to employ counsel to assist
in drawing bills to make existing laws
conform to the new Constitution. This
partially closes the breach between the
two houses, and is an indication that
the wheels of legislation win soon be in
