+The notorious Phelps. Republican
libel suit on trial lust week at Springfield,
Mass, was terminated on Wednesday by
Judge EDdicott's giving the plaintiff, Mr..
Willis Phelps, verdict for one hundred
dollars. 1t is to be hoped that this will
not overwhelm the Republican, nor re.
strict the vigor of the paper in all legit.
mate expressions of opinion. Its com.
ments upon Mr.. Phelps were manifestly
severe, SO much so that the Court says
they passed within the domain Of the Ii.
belous; although the size OF the moneJ
award would seem to indicate that the
trangressicn was not without its qualify.
ing features. Perhaps the moral of the
verdict might be expressed thus: The
Court lets you off easy this time, but
don't do it again. One thing is estab.
lished by this verdict il nothing more ;
the absence of conclusive proof that
there was no malice in the Republicans
denunciations Of Mr.. Phelps as a corrup.
zionist, was tho exact matter which car.
ried verdict for the plaintiff at all. The
press is certainly vindlcated in their ut.
terancc of Remuneration against public
corruption, if not prompted by malice.
