preme Court, for the position. lie VIII

sIwavs been a consistent Republican, but

their voluntary endorsement.
A QUESTION OF VALIDITY.
The Supreme Court has upon its docke'
a case involving the validity OF an orqi'
nance of this city. A citizen was fined by
the Mavor for selling liquor on Sunday.
An appeal was taken to the Hastings
Cont where the question of the validity
of the ordinance under which the f1ne was
imposed was argued. The ground OF IN.
validity was that the ordinance mad not
been published in the newspapers or the
CITY. as specifically required by the charter'
The Court sustained the validity OF the or
dinance as well a. the decision OF the
Mayor. An appeal was taken to the gu
preme Court and writ of error was award
ed. but the case has not yet been heard:
Since then other parties have been t1ned
for violating the same ordinance and have
paid their fines. Some years ago the ordi;
nances of the city were carefully codined
and readopted as whole, but it IS claim
ed that under the charter they should have
been published in q newspaper for the
public information. IL this plea OF lnva-
iidity is sustained by the Supreme Court
then great many other important ordi-
nances will fall.
