HE INVITED THESE CRITICISMS.

Referring TO the appointment Of Wat
son r. Sperry as minister to Persia the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says "who was managing edi-
tor Of the Evening Post under w. c. Bry-
ant, and who has become a 'rambunctious
protectionist by living a few years near
the Harlan and Hollingsworth shipyard.
The New York World, under the editor
ship Of the accomplished Ballard Smith,
has referred even more contemptuously to
the change in Mr.. Sperry's views, thus;
Not many years ago he expressed very
strong convictions In favor of free trade.
Later he received what the New Eng
land brethren designate as a cali TO
preach protection i'm the columns of a
Delaware journal The field was not
promising, but the call was too pressing
and attractive TO pass unheeded. From
that day until this he has performed his
duty without hinching. He has asserted
religiously and almost hourly in his vari-
ous'editions that taxing goods makes
them cheap; that foreigners really pay
the taxes anyhow, and that capital de
sires more protection for the sole pur-
pose of enrching labor Like zeal under
like circumstances is seldom seen, and
we are pleased to believe that the Presi-
dent appreciated the sacrifice of convic-
tion no less than the fact that Delaware
cannot possibly be won and that conse-
quently Mr. Sperry can be spared
Neither one Of these references is
kindly or neighborly, but it is lamentable
that Mr. Sperry's changed convictions
have made him liable to just such I'M
friendly and contemptuous criticisms.
Any man has right to change his
opinions, It is his duty to do so for
proper, but not pecuniary, reasons.
Some editors may write for and against
interests about which they have no
opinions. There are writer's, indeed,
who write for fees, like lawyer defends
client, but the ethics Of the
profession require every editor who
appreciates the dignity of his position or
who cares to maintain the respect of his
neighbors, TO withhold his pen from the
defence of men or measures, if by doing
so he does violence TO his moral convic-
tions or his intelligence
Neither one of the writer's of the above
excerpts has any right to impugn Mr.
Sperrys motives Nobody has that
right. But we all have right to criti-
cize his work here and TO compare it
with former work
We cannot find a sufficient explanation
of the course Of Mr.. Sperry here in his
own fippant excuse that such and such
a personal assault and such and such a
defence "was a very good thing to talk
about" We believe that no editor
should outrage his moral convictions and
his intelligence for any party eXigency
whatever
If Mr. sperry has not been doing this
in defending the vulgar scheme of pro
lection; in defending the Reed Rules, the
Billion Dollar Congress, he has certainly
been doing something very similar in de-
Tending many of the local lame ducks
here and in attacking judges, governors,
and Democrats on partisan, not moral
grounds

ANOTHEe newspaper correspondent has
become famous. Stephen Bonsal, of Balti-
more has joined the ranks which contain
Forbes, Stanley Barnaby, McGarahan
and Cunning. Bonsal was in Morocco
on a rowing commission for the United
Press Of New York. when Sir Charles
Euan- Smith and the members of the
British mission started out TO negotiate a
treaty with the Sultan of Fez Bonsal
Joined the caravan and was treated as a
member Of the mission and rapidly rose
to the position Of assistant to Sir Charles.
The negotiations failed, the con 'erences
suspended and the mission returned Go
Tangier Anxious to be first with the
news Bonsal put forth extraordinary
efforts. riding often eighteen hours a day
to beat the caravan across the desert. He
got in a week in advance of the caravan
and astonished Great Britain with the
news of the failure Of one Of Lord Sails
bury's pet projects His correspondence
is fun of thrilling incidents and
vivid descriptions of his adventures
At one time he was fired upon and after
proving his identity and obtaining the
Sultans protection he had the satisfac-
ton Of refusing an indemnity Of $1,000
and Of accepting the Sultan's letter Of
apology and a sword Of honor, instead.
When he arrived in London, he was
summoned to the Foreign Office for con-
sultation, his biography and pictures of
him were published in all the papers,
while he has been Toasted and ionized
everywhere This is another instance Of
the value and tire rewards of pluck and
intelligence in the newspaper profession.
It is another instance and example TO
prove that the newspaper men are usurp-
ing the places that were formerly held
by men who wore swords; that the pen is
mightier than the sword is demonstrated
every day.

Until Mr.. Harrison issues his formal
letter of acceptance and actually commits
himself in that document to a revival of
the Force bill and of the principles and
methods which It involves, we shall con-
tinue to hope that he may yet think
better of il.
There has never been time when the
adoption of such measure would have
contributed TO the country's happiness
and welfare. There has never been a
time when il would have entailed such
widespread calamity as would follow it's
adoption now. In many important re-

once seemed TO call for some
