old Newspaper Libel suit Re
yersetl.


CHICAGO, February 1.-Two import.
ant decisions were rendered by the State
Supreme Court last week, and their full
Significance has just become apparent.
The irst, thatin the case Of the late State
Senator Early against Wilbur F. Storey
the veteran editor Of the Chicago Timer,
Is Of great interest to the newspaper
fraternity, and through them 10 the gen.
eral public, who are liable to be maligned
by their brothers OF the press. The case
Ia the we'll known one In which it was al.
legged by Senator Early that the Chicago
Times' editor had willfully and mallg-
naptly entered into q plan to ruin the
reputation Of his daughter, by asserting
through its columns that she was oil
doubtful character, and giving columns
Of alleged corroborative proof. The case
yas fought through all The Courts. and a
verdict was fret given Of $4,000, and
then this amount was reduced 10 $4,000,
which the Supreme Court originally af.
ffmed, but subsequently allowed some
exceptions, ana now 'vuL year H.'et ~
jfsnse was committed, the Court, win
but one dissenting vote, DEGREES another
trial and the admission Of evidence which
they say was improperly excluded. The
main point they make is that on which
there has been bcundless controversy In
