The supreme court of the United States, in an opinion i i,i, ... : ae n on ti -in. oi iiiuikd vui ,u.-.. I This is a liquor license case, and in its opinion the court lays down certain fuuda mental principles affecting the rela tion in which this business and the laws ol the country stand to each other. Christenscn for several vears conducted a retail liquor store, but in 18H9 his ap plication lor u renewel ot h'S license wa refused by the police commissioners ol San Francisco, in whom the municipal ordinance vested the discrctioi to grant or refuse licenses foi saloons, the refusal fheing passei' on the ground ol the bad repuu in which the place stood. Thereupoi Christenscn did business w ithout licensi and was arrested. He sued out a writ o habeas corpus anil the United Stales cir cuit court ordered his dischargefrom cus tody on the ground that the ordinanct made Christenscn 's business depend ot the arbitrary will ol others anrl in that resjiect denied to him equal protection o the law. 1 n its opinion by Justice Fieh the court says: "it is undoubtedly true that it is tin right of every citizen to puisne any lav till Imsiiii ss. subject only to such restric tious as fire imposed on Risons of tin same age sex in condition, but the pos session at:o eujoymeni of t his right, tnu indeed ol all rights, arc sub,e. t to sucl restrictions as may be deemed by tin governing auiln rity essential to tl stili.lv, health, peace. ; lid good older am, the morals of t lie cor. im unity.
