the line day In and day out, lacks variety
and becomes dull. We like legitimate va
riety as well as any man, but the man
who changes his principles for variety 2
sake evidently cares more for variety
than he does for principle, and We do not
belong to that class. II IL not the most
agreeable thing to an editor TO hash and
rehash the same old subjects over and over
again. We take our readers into our
confidence and confess that we do our
selves sometimes grow weary OF the DIS
cussion. But in a newspaper experience
covering many years we have discovered
that the only way to make an impression
on the public IS TO keep on saying the
same thing over and over again, present
ing the same facts in different lights and
using every occasion TO impress the prin-
ciple which we would inculcate, and so
cllnch the fact Advertisers tell us that
II IS only the persistent keeping-ever-
lastingly-atit advertiser who makes his
advertisements pay. IT is almost impossi-
BILE to make any appreciable impression
upon the general public except by per
sstenly repeating the same announce
ments.
The Times set out with determination
TO pursue a certain line, to correct GER
tain errors. 10 impress certain truths
We have kept up the fight along the line
which we originally mapped out, and In
some instances. at least, We have lived
TO see our vindication. We make no
apology that this has been at the eX-
pense Of variety, for good principles are
the same always and alter not.

Some Of the admirers In this commu-
nifty Of the Hon. William J. Bryan must
have been a bit shocked when they read
I'm The Times yesterday the statement
from our washington correspondent that
that great leader Of the Democracy who
had declined an invitation to dine with
the Democratic Club OF New York. had
accepted an invitation to dine with an
other club in company with Governor
Pingree, Of Michigan, a free silver RepuD-
lican. and Congressman White, OF North
Carolina. a negro. We wonder what the
Democrats Of North Carolina who recent
" passed through such a terrible ordeal
OF negro rule think Of Mr. Bryan's choice.

NJ. Eugene Dcbs says that prison labor
