A prohibition act passed last July by the legislature of Manitoba has been pronounced ultra wires, or unconstitu- tional, by the court of Kings bench at Winnipeg, and the temperance people of the province are much disappointed Their radical attack on the liquor traf- fic brought about their defeat. The orig inal act, drawn up by ex-Premier Mac donald, practically went no further than to do away with sales over the bar, but the temperance organizations, not satis- fled with this, succeeded in having the legislature pass an act expressing the liquor traffic altogether. The judges hold that the Legislation deals with a subject specially assigned by the Brit ish North American act to the Domin- ion government and it is not a matter coming within the powers of provin- cial legislature A bill restricting or regulating the traffic would have been constitutional.

Enterprising storekeepers along Penn sylvania avenue erect stands in front of their shops and collect snug little sums for the outlay.

A bill was introduced in the Dela- ware legislature the other day provid- ing for the sale of two hundred acres of State land on the ocean front at Rehoboth for two hundred dollars. Thereupon Wilmington paper offered to sell the property for the State for at least a thousand dollars, and printed coupon to be filled out and returned to 1t by any person who would give a dollar for a lot 150x150 feet in size. Within three or four days the paper found customers for 2,226 lots land the cry is still they come!" It now guar antees to sell another thousand lots on the tract at the same price, so that the State, if 1t wishes will get at least two thousand dollars for property for which the original epeculators offered one-tenth that sum.
