One of the most disasterous fires
that we have had in this city for
many years visited us Friday morn
ing at an early hour, entailing losses
amounting to over $4,000. The
fire was of unknown origin, it is not
known for certain just where it
started, but is assumed to have orr
ginated in the Jacobson & Sons store.
The alarm was turned in about $3.50
o'clock in the morning, and when the
fire companies arrived the blaze
was we'll under way in both the
Jacobson and the White business
places. It was thought that the
fire could be confined to the three
places, that Of jacobson & Son, Ed.
White billiard hall and John Joanis
billiard hall, but the Northern hotel
was soon on fire and the efforts of
the fire men to save any Of the build
ings was unavailing. The only
thing that saved the rest Of the block
was the fire wall on the esat side Of
the Joanis building. Part of the
stock and fixtures in che White and
Joanis places was saved and nearly
all of the stock and fixtures Of the
Markham Drug Co. was carried out
although considerably damaged.
The estimate of the losses is as
fnllows.

and afterwards voted IN favor OF the
adoption Of the amendment in max
ing up the requisite number of votes
to constitute a ratification OF the
amendment.
The principle involved in the case
is similar to those cases where the
right to vote and authorize the issu-
ance OF bonds is served by state, and
where there is nothing in the act
limiting the number Of times the
vote may be taken. In such case it
has been held that a negative vote
does not prevent the submission OF
the question again, even though sew
erat votes have been taken with. a
negative result. See Society v. New
Fondon, 90 Conn. ia.
In theJnited States district court
it is held, zone election does not ex-
haust the power, unless. the result is
in favor of affirmative action CHIEF
Justice Marshall said:
"The principle is asserted, that
one legislature is competent to repeal
an act which former legislature was
competent to pass; and that one leg
islature cannot abridge the power OF
succeeding legislature. The cor
rectuess of this principle, 50 far as
respects general legislation, can not
be controverted. But if an act is
done under a law, succeeding leg
islature cannot undo it. The past
cannot be recalled by the most abso-
lutte power.
In the case Of the amendment first
mentioned, the affirmative action was
taken in each intance, and therefore
the power to vote on the amendment
was exhausted and subsequent legis-
latures had no power to rescind the
former acts. If this were not the
law, an interminable conflict would
arise every time an amendment is pro-
posed. Those opposed to an amend
ment could unite their opposition,
and get control Of legislatures, and
recind enough ratifications to prevent
three-fourths of the states from ever
acting favorahly upon an amendment
by a given time. The trainers of the
Constitution acted more wisely than
they knew IN drafting Article Y, SO
that ratification was final and rejec-
ton of ratification not final .-W. b.
