is the class of journalism which the En-

variation from those monutonous prcludes

aginative writing is only tolerable in for
eign dispatches and accounts of battles,
and even then it must be tempered so as
not to shock by vigor or displease by ex-
uberance The Britsher wants but little
fancy here below, nor wants that little
strong.
English journalism resembles ourown in
one respect-it is aggressively partisan
when occasion requires. Politics runs wild
at times in Great Britain, and broken heads
and noses arc quite common on election
days. tits then that the Englishman braces
himself to listen to hot invective and abuse
OF his opponents, but even in those supreme
moments his newspaper cannot forego its
dignity or completely dispe its dullness
High sounding epitEets are often employed,
but they are carefully chosen and their
edge taken off by judicious qualification
The British journalist has a wholesome
fear of the law Of libel, which is bv no
means a dead letter in the old country
where juries are uncommonly pig headed
and take vicious delight in sitting upon
daring journalists. Libel suits invariably

forced to restrain themselves at the very
time when their readers are prepared to
enjoy depaiSlre from the beaten path of
dullncss
