The Duchcas of .Manchester is said to have loot £140,000 Brns. Mr. Blake and the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court. __ We Lclieve th·t the Govcrumeiit Lave offered to the Hon. E. Blake the Chief Jua· ticeebip of the Snpre111e Court, thE: highest judicial position in Canulla. It carries with it pre·emineut rank, entitling its occupant to precedence over all other cltb:ens, bow· ever high their position in ju<l1eial or ofilci· al life, and baa a salary attached of eight thousand dollars a year. Forensic ambition iu Canada can neither ain1 at nor attain any greater height. Tbe part which the Suprenie Court is to take hereafter 1n settling the decisions uf all the Courts in the Dominion and bnnging them into hurn1ony 1 nn<l in ndvisinft upon the grave colllltitutionn.l questions that from time to lirne arise, n1akes the selection of a Chief Justice who can worthily preside over its deliberations both in1portant and difilc'Olt. Mr. Blake's position at the bar and in Parliameut, however, is such that on all hands, and even by his political opponents, his eminent fitness to discharge efficiently the dutiea of this hii.;h ollice is freely acknowledged. He is the choice of the bar of Ontario, and of those members of the professiou- in the other Proviuces who have come in contact with biu1. His friende, those who knov.· him best, have every confidence that be woulil adequatelv till the office, and that his ~reat talents A.nd great judicial skill would give that \\·eight to the decisions of the Conrt tho.t should attach to judgments e1nann.ting frout such a tribunal. We Jo not know whether Mr. Blaice has intimated his intention to accept or decliue this offer. It will not be forgottrn that some yoors ngo he 'vas offered the Chancellorship of Ontario-the place which bis father had filled so well. and which wa. known to. have been-not unnaturally-an objeot of ambition to himself. :1,fr. Blake's conduct on that occasio:1;1, when }Je denied binLsclf tho honourable position thus offered to him, in order to fight the batt:.le of the people in puhlic life-on the hustings and in Parliament-and the self-deuying manner in 'vhich he has borne himaelf ;hroughou t the great political conflicts which have since intervened, are the best guarantees that his decision, now that this grea~ prize is offered for his acceptance, wm be founded alone on what may be his vie'v of lns duty. We have been endcifvoring to make our pen_ 'Yrite that we ':ill cheerfully accept his dec1s1on whatever it may he. ~ But it is difficult to say that, knowing how high the prize is that ia within his reach, how well he is entitled to it, and that he cnn accept it alike witl1 honour to himself and benefit to the ~ountry. \Ve venture rather to ex· press the hope th·t he may once more decline the distinction and honour of presiding over a Court, even though it be the Su· preme Court of Canada, in . oriler that be may continue to sustain with his abilities the Liberal eause. Undoubteilly u.efttl as he wonld be at the bead of the Supreme CGurt, we entertain the belief Uial he would be more useful irl4iis place in Parliatnent. rrhe country bas need of biw, and has work ior him to do, u1ore iinpo1'taut to its iuture well-being than any he conld do on the Bench. \Ve are .sure that if U. can see that his line of dufy is so marke<l out-Rs to keep him in the political field, where he has fought euch '3plendid bnttles,and ac.hiev· ed such grand triumphs tor the Liberal cause, and with it the country's "'·elfare, tie will earn in the future what he has had accorded to him in the pa.st-the c@nfidence, sympathy and gratitude of the people.- Itba~ cost $2o0a dozen,gold.
