COURTS AND SUITORS.

The courts resent any effort to use their
process or judicial proceedings for Interior pur-
poses. Every attempt to accomplish through
them any other object than the adjudication or
the proper questions involved is uniformly
looked upon by the bench with stern disfavor
Such attempts are seldom successful Espe-
cially is this true when suits at law are unjusti-
faby made the occasion excuse for attacks
upon the rectitude of conduct Of either party TO
such suits or any other individual.
The final disposition made by the Court of
Appeals on Tuesday Of an action brought by
sculptor named Doyle against the Editor of
The Tribune carries an interesting lesson in this
regard report OF the case is found in another
column of this issue. The case involved several
questions as to the legal duties and obligations
of an Individual where contributions from many
persons have been placed in his hands. and sub
sequently the project fails for which such con-
tributions are made. But the bringing OF this
action was made the occasion not merely for the
determination Of these legal questions but for
personal attacks upon the defendant himself.
The plaintiff and his attorney went so far as to
charge breaches Of trust and "msappropria-
tons" The action was also made the oppor
tunity for the publication in some newspapers
of calumnies of the same general character.
By their opinions and decisions the highest
courts of the State have not only demonstrated
the utter falsity of these calumnies, but they
have severely rebuked those who are respon-
sibIe for them The lesson Of that rebuke may
be lost upon them; but the effect of every such
example must be to strengthen the moral infiu-
ence of the courts and to deter those who would
seek through them or the actions pending therein
to make unjust attacks upon personal character
or to give voice to personal or inherited ami
mosities.

NETWORKS HONOR AT STAKE.

The Republicans Of this city should arouse
themselves not merely TO secure large vote
for President Mckinley, but TO elect every
Sound Money Congressman possible. Newly ork
City is commonly Democratic and it is normally
expected that the majority of the congressman
from the metropolis will be Democratic. But
when issues In which New-York is interested
are tightly drawn the city can be swept away
from Tammany. In 1894 the Republicans were
able to carry several districts which We're re-
garded as safely Democratic. This moreover,
was before the sound money question came to
the front. In 1896. with the aid Of the Gold
Democrats, they were even more successful.
and they have every reason to try to repeat
their success this year. They can do 1t if every
Republican will make up his mind that the fight
for Congress Is a real one and not mere mat
ter of form to keep up the organization and help
the National ticket. The people OF this city are
as firm as ever in their devotion to the gold
standard, and If sufficient work is done can be
brought to express their views at the polls.
The money issue is most emphatically In
volved in the election Of Representatives With
one exception all the Democratic candidates in
Manhattan and The Bronx are strong free sill
yer men. The Democrats in Brooklyn and one
in Manhattan make pretence of sound money
views which are not SO serious as to interfere
with acceptance of the Kansas City platform
Nor will those views prevent their support of
free silver candidate for Speaker and Of the
packing Of the committees to obtain free silver
legislation. AS If TO show that all the power of
Tammany would be used to destroy the gold
standard, MIR. Croker deliberately kicked aside
the one Democratic Congressman from this city
who was conspicuous as q believer in sound
money and in his place nominated a reckless
advocate Of cheap money and violent agitator
Of class hatreds
1t would be a discredit to New-York to send
o. H. p Belmont TO represent district Of this
city in Congress- yet he is the chosen favorte
Of Richard Croker in preference to respectable
Representative like Jefferson NJ. Levy. Against
him the Republicans have nominated William
R. Wilcox, man of honor and ability, who is
entitled to the vote Of every man, Republican or
Democrat, who has any concern for the reputa-
ton Of metropolitan citizenship with the rest Of
the country. There is no possible issue on
which any man, even anti-imperialist, can
find reasonable excuse for helping candidate
like Mr.. Belmont who represents no conviction
on any question which might attract honest
critics of Republican policies.

After hatred, violence The sequence is nat

his brother is potentially a murderer; he will

LORD SALISBURY.

The announcement is made, apparently upon
authority. that In the coming reorganization CT
the British Cabinet the Marquis of Salisbury,
while retaining the place of Prime Minister. will
resign the Secretaryship of State for Foreign
Affairs and will be succeeded in the latter place
by the Marquis of Lansdowne who is now Sec
rotary of State for War Lord Lansdowne has
had a long and distinguished career i'll the
British public service and will doubtless prove
an agreeable and acceptable Minister for the
representatives of other Powers to have official
dealings with. Beyond that fact his appoint
ment is a matter Of British politics with which
other nations have no concern.
The retirement of Lord Salisbury from the
Office in which he has been so eminent and so
forceful a figure comes fttingly at the time
when he has just crowned his career with one
Of the most important diplomatic achievements
of the period, the alliance with Germany in
Chinese policy. Nevertheless. it leaves va
cancy which it is the simple truth to say can
not be filled. The Marquis is the last of the
great Foreign Ministers and diplomats of the
old school. Others may arise, of equal ability
but they will be of another type. The new
diplomacy" Is an established fact, and future
Ministers who attain distinction will do SO by
practising it Lord Salisbury has won and
well deserved a greater distinction than any
other Foreign Minister living in Europe
by practising the diplomacy Of the past and
| by maintaining in his political life ideals which
have descended to him from his Elizabethan
ancestors as surely and directly as has his
stately hall Of Hatfield. In all the line of
British Ministers there are few names more
noteworthy than history will hold his to be.
He has been in public life for nearly half a
century. He was Foreign Minister more than
a quarter Of century ago. He has euualled
the record Of Palmerston in being four times
Foreign Minister and that Of Gladstone in he
ing four times Prime Minister-records hitherto.
we believe. unrivalled And he has the distinc-
ton, unique in modern times Of having held
both the offices Of Prime Minister and Foreign
Minister at the same time
Speculation as to the effect OF his retirement
upon the foreign policy of the British Empire
is rife. II is natural. but futile There is no
good reason for expecting the slightest change
Lord Salisbury remains in the nominal vet
most potent office of Prime Minister There
ne VIII continue to dominate the whole Gov
eminent. That, indeed, is the true function Of
Prime Minister And we may be sure he will
not forget nor slight the Foreign Office In his

FLAGS SEEN EVERYWHERE.

In no campaign Of the past-not even in 1896
were flags displayed SO freely as they have
been this year. In Broadway. in Fifth-ave.,
in all the principal thoroughfares, in the minor
avenues and streets and even in the crossways
aud alleys, banners have been raised in myriads.
In political meetings, big ones and little ones
alike, the fiuttering Of ensigns. pennons and
bannerets has been livelier and more general
than in other campaigns
This is a year of general prosperity. Every
intelligent person comedies that. Even the
sourest of Bryanites shrnks from dsputng It,
And among the legions of thrifty and flourish
ing manufacturers who can be happier than
the makers of flags and the makers of fire
works? They were never before so busy and
never were their gains so large.

WILL THEY BE PUNISHEDF

Sanguine persons who expect that the men
responsible for the calamity of October 20, when
the Tarrant building was blown up, will be
suitably punished have short memories. 1t is
obvious that the series of tremendous explo-
sions could not have occurred had the laws and
municipal ordinances been enforced with thor
oughness and care. 1t is the widest nonsense
to suggest that explosions Of such extreme VIC
lence could have taken place had tolerable dis
erection and prudence been exercised in the
warehouse which was shattered to fragments.
Guilt of no trivial sort must be imputed to
those who had charge of some of the contents
of the building. They endangered life and
property with recklessness and audacty that
were plainly criminal. But they are not likely
to suffer the full measure of punishment which
they have earned.
Nine years ago a weak building fell In Park
Place because the floors were heavily over
loaded, and scores OF lives were sacrificed. The
overlooking Of those floors was evident vio-
latOn Of law, and there was no excuse for 1t.
No one was locked up for that offence. The
reason was clear enough. Political influences
In Tammany Hall shielded the men who should
have been laid by the heels for that iniquty.
Not many years have passed since several
workmen were killed by the collapse of a
building in the region between Canal-st and
FOurteenth-St. Those W0rkmen lost their lives
because Of careless, avaricious, rapacious meth
DDS Of construction. Long terms OF conflne
ment would not have been excessive for the
offenders who brought about the deaths Of
those workmen. But every guilty man
capped.
Now comes up the question as to the duty
Of the insurance companies. Were they carry
ing out wise policy when they granted ex-
ceedingly heavy insurance upon such struct-
ure as the Tarrant building and upon its con-
tents, without keeping up a constant super
vision of the warehouse and of all that it con-
tanned? The frightful explosions Of last Mon
day proved that this was an extra hazardous
risk. What pains did the companies take to
see that proper precautions had been adopted
against fire and explosion? Is 1t not true that
the competition among the companies Is pushed
too far? Are they sufficiently cautious in the
Issuing OF policies? Had it not been easy to
insure the Tarrant building and its contents
for large amounts at low rates. would this
catastrophe have occurred? Strictness on the
part OF insurance companies will accomplish
much in preventing fires and eTrinsions.
