The Worcester Spy confesses to a
genuine admiration for its interesting
religious contemporary, The Sunday
Spy. although it sometimes thinks that
the latter does not always show the
meekness OF spirit that might be ex-
pected of a great Sunday newspaper.
1t has way not only of hitting back,
but also Of hitting freely and severely
on its own hook in advance, and of
otherwise letting the world know that
it is very much on deck
Because Sunday paper is full of
the liveliest news and other entertain
ing reading, and bubbling over with
interesting and timely advertising, is
no reason why it should regard itself
as the only journal worth reading. 1t
must remember that there are six
other days in the week, during which
the world looks to such papers as The
Worcester Spy for a complete and sat
isfactory chronicle of its doings.
However The Sunday Spy is so near
an ideal newspaper for the first day
OF the week, that The Worcester Spy
will continue to give it it's approval
and say good word for it as it from
time 10 time especially deserves

A new force has appeared in the state
political arena. This is no less a per-
son than Rev. Robert E. Bisbee, the
Chicopee Methodist. whom the demo-
Gratis Of the second district have nom
mated to run against Congressman
Gillett. His political principles will not
attract republicans or Independents
more strongly than those OF the aver
age democrat of the present time, for
Mr.. Bisbee warmly endorses the Wor,
cester platform and all that it implies
There is, however, an air of sincerity
honesty judicial balance and modera-
ton if not tolerance about him that the
average silver democrat utterly lacks.
