taken notice of the violations of the law relatino

carried out In all cases-the hackmen proper are
not the only persons amenable to the law for the
preservation OF order and decency on the Sab
bath day. They have a perfect right to protest
against being made the scapegoats for those who
are even more guilty than themselves and who
DO more serious injury. II the police Were at

DUTY, without respect to persons, the hackmen
would have no reason to bring ont their coaches
and take the stand on the Sabbath for they could
not obtain an engagement. "WHIP.n
