HARLES F. MURPHY, boss of Tammany Hall, has brought suit for $500,000 against The Evening World on the ground of alleged libel uttered in one of this newspaper's } editorials. Mr. Murphy’ He hopes to silence The Evening World; He hopes to impose a check upon the further discussion of Murphy and Murphyism as issues in the presont municipal cam- paign. Both hopes are vain. The Evening World, no less than The Morning World, will continue to discuss Mr. Murphy and Mr. Murphy’s record in so far as both vitally concern the public interest and welfare of the great city of New York. As for trying to conceal Murphyism, wholly or in part, as a/ factor in the campaign, Mr. Murphy might as well fry to conceal | the war. Mr. Murphy is an issue in this campaign not because any newspaper has made him so, but because Murphy and Tammany are self-constituted, self-defined issues influencing an election | upon the results of which good government in New York depends. | The Evening World’s first duty is to the public. It is not likely to forget that duty through fear of Mr. Murphy. LET THE DOLLARS MARCH.
