Courts and NeMsplperS.

A decision has been handed down by
the New York court of appeals which
establishes the right of newspa pers to
criticize court decisions. The publisher
of a newspaper in the state of New
York criticised the decision of a Judge
and the court convicted him of con-
tempt and imposed a fine and impris-
onment upon him. The publisher APP
pealed the case. The court of appeals
declares that a court holds no power
to punish for contempt, except where
the act is committed in the presence of
the court. or the offender is disobedi-
ent to the orders of the court. and that
a Judge has no right whatever to pun

SUNDAY, JANUARY IL, 1896.
New Senator's.

The death of a democratic member
of the legislature yesterday solved the
Kentucky senatorial problem in favor
of the republicans Senator Blackburn,
who has been hoping against hope for
several weeks, is compelled by force
of circumstances to step down and out.
The fates seem to be against him. His
retirement from the senate is to be re-
GREETED because a silver vote is lost and
in all probability straight goldbug
vote Is substituted. Senator Black
burn never displayed the dignity. the
ability, any of the qualities of states
manship which United states senator
properly should possess. His was
clearly a case of greatness thrust upon
him. But he was always true to silver
and his defeat on that account is very
unfortunate. The republicans in eau
Gus have chosen as his successor a DIR.
Hunter, a man without national fame
or standing; but it may safely be as
sumed that. being the choice of the re-
publicans. he will take his seat with
the goldbugs.
1nc OlllO lcBlSldluIN was VI SdhiNtN
last week and will proceed to elect ].
B. Foraker a United States senator to
succeed Calvin S. Brice. The honor
goes to Foraker without opposition. 1t
is known that he is not personally
agreeable either to Senator Sherman
or to Governor Mckinley. but his grip
on Ohio politics at the present time is
firmer than either of theirs. He is the
Matt Quay of Ohio. Foraker will make
more noise in the senate than Mr..
Brice. He Is a fiowery orator and
never let's an opportunity slip to make
himself heard. He is an intense parti-
san, a cunning politician. a shrewd and
slippery fellow anywhere you meet
him. He has had many ups and downs
in Ohio politics and finally lands on
top so decisively that even Mckinley
is compelled to bend the knee to Sc
cure the support of Ohio in his presi-
Dental ambition. Ohio's state patron
age will be wholly in Foraker's hands
should a republican president be elect
ed, and he is sure to be a conspicuous
and interesting figure in national af-
fairs during the next six years. Watch
out now for force bills and new and
improved bloody shirts

Murder AMI Snic de.

The statistics which the Chicago
Tribune annually complies in reference
to capital crimes show an increase of
murders for 1895 over 1894 of 200. but
that number is not nearly so large as
the increase from 1898 to 1894. which
was 3.1s5. The figures are based upon
newspaper reports, and are roughly ac-
curate Considering the larger popula-
ders Is not large. The table which the
Tribune gives for murders, suicides and
lynchtngs for the last six years is as
follows.

The mental breakdown of Joseph Cook.

the hearts of men and women by his
talks in choice Bostonese on things which

Republicans and Pensions.

The pension committee of the house
has agreed to reduce the pension APP
preparation s2.OOO.OOO below even the
estimates of the commissioner of pen.
sions. who had called for $40, 900, 900.
The Boston Herald makes the remark
that the action of the house committee
il quite significant in view of the fact
that the republicans have in the past
shown a good deal OF fervor in de-
nouncing the attitude OF the democratic
administration toward the pensions.
Every attempt of the democratic ad-
ministration to reduce the pension
appropriations and confine their pay
ment 20 worthy and deserving veterans
has been met with the cry from the re-
publican press that the democrats were
hostile to the interests of the old SOL
diers and were pursuing a cheese par
ing policy in attempting to reduce or
revise the pension estimates. And yet
the republicans at the first opportunity
in the new congress undertake to cut
down the estimates of the democratic
pension commission by S2.000,O00. The
republican congress is evidently dis
posed to make a record. even If II has
10 cut down the pension appropriations
in order to do so. and the republicans
who condemn such economy will now
be compelled to denounce republican
instead of democratic officials.

Belmont Vanderbi t.

In as quiet and transformations a man
ner as possible Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt,
the divorced wife of William X. Van
derbilt, was married yesterday to OH
yer II. p. Belmont 1t is to be hoped
that the affinities are satisfied and that
the newly married couple will live hap
PLY for ever after. The wedding unites
two colossal fortunes. Mr.. Belmont s
residence at Newport is one of the larg-
est, costliest and handsomest in the
country and will compare favorably
with many of the superb palaces of
Europe Mrs. Belmont is a handsome
woman in the prime of life. Mr.. Bel
mont is a handsome man, also in his
prime. With their handsome house
with it's handsome furniture and hand
some grounds, life seems TO have treat
ed Mr. and Mrs. Belmont very hand
somely indeed.
The New York Sun notes a curious
network of divorce which has spread it
self over the family group which is
bounded by Marlborough, Vanderbihs,
Smiths and Ynzagas. The father and
mother of the present Duke of MARI
borough were divorced before the for
mer came into the dukedom. The par
ents of the. young duchess, as we all
know, were legally separated last year.
Two of Mrs. Vanderbilt's sisters are
divorces. and her brother-in-l law. Fer
