THE BLANKET NEWSPAPER.
A Receptacle Of Foul and Corrupt
Matter, Appalling In It's Influence.

Thare is a famous gallery in Brus-
sells where the pictures are all painted
by sne artist. He seemed to delight
in the most revolving exhibition of
physical suffering, and scenes of car
mage. There are diseased minds that
find pleasure in torture and bliss in
pain. This type of mind Weirtz pos
sessed in an eminent degree.
Many of his pictures are so fright
fully disgusting that they are only to
be seen through small apertures not
one-half inch in diameter; in this way
they are not thrust upon the view of
those TO whom such scenes produce
the most painful sensations; the high
order of the art never for a moment
directing their minds from the terrific
conception. 1t would be well if such
surveillance could be exercised over
some of the daily newspapers to pre-
vent their thrusting upon our atten-
ton, and familiarizlng the youth of the
land with the most blood -curdllng de-
scriptions of crime.
Since the daily paper has expanded
in size from dinner napkin to
table cloth, i" and is served TO us three
times day, it is difficult 10 fill these
long columns with spicy reading mat
ter, hence this pandering to vitiated
tastes that have first been created, and
then crave that which repels, and at
the same time attracts, producing the
mingled sensations of shuddering and
fascination. A French writer has
said that down at the bottom of the
human heart there is an exultant feel
ing over the misfortunes or downfall
of another, even though that other be
our best friend.
The affair has grown into COM
mercial one of demand and supply.
In order to meet it there is a most un
warIantable invasion OF domestic
privacy, and no nome is TOO sacred to
be turned inside out, and no reputa-
ton so irreproachable that it cannot
be furnished when overlaid with such
plethora, of vituperstlon and falslties.
For the sake of those whose tastes are
not yet Starved small, " would it not
be we'll to have all these disgusting
pictures apart by themselves and not
scatter through the paper} 1t would
then be optional with the reader
whether they were committed to the
flames or not.
