resnect setting a good example to some Ameri-
can papers No one ought to be surprised at
This evidence of partisanship; for Charles DICK
ons who was certainly not prcjudiced against
things English. has immortalized the bitter par
tisonship of English journalism in one OF his
novels. But in these latter days we hear so
much Of the absolute fairness of English journal
ism that many have come TO believe II. Mr.
Kimbal has. therefore, performed service III
bringing MS face to face with the facts
Then as to sensationasm, Mr.. Kimball says:
He who reads British newspapers thoroughly
would BE- surprised to find in them stated win
great frankncgs. many things when an Aiherl-
can newspaper would suppress or only mint al.
The proceedings in divorce trials. FOR example
are printed with a fulness which would not DE
found in an American newspaper OF the beI.er
class save under exceptional circumstances The
difference is that no sensational headlines are
nut over these divorce proceedings To cali atteh-
tion TO them. What is true OF divorce trials was
found To be equally true of other news classed as
sensational F'acts brought out OF the police
courts were given with brutal frankness but no
attempt IS made II draw attention to them py
the headlines.
In REGARD to the sense Of news perspective
Mr. Kimhall found that British Journalism Is
Il comparative failure. The London Journals
hardly noticed the great international congress
Of temperance women neld IN London last suH-
mcr. and some OF the mcagre reports Of it which
were given were distinctly hippant. At the
same time all these papers contained expanded
accounts of the doings OF the Court and the
movements of titled pcrsonages-of no intrinsic
interest whatever. From this Mr. Kimball con-
cludcs that the British press Is more narrow
and provincial than the American press; and no
American visitor in London who has tried to
find some news OF America in the London
papcrs will be disposed to dispute his conclusion.
Mr.. Kimball sums up the whole question by
saving that so far rs the matter Of news editing
goes It is largely difference Of headlines.
Put over news article in British newspaper
IAN American headline, and put over news
"article in IN American newspaper British
.headlinc." he says, "and the champion OF Brit
"sh superiority would be greatly surprised TO
"hnl how sensational, inaccurate and out OF
..proportion Is British journalism, and how un-
sensational, accurate and Of true proportion
'is American speaking compara-
.tiycly Of course and not with reference to IN
ideal standard" As matter Of fact. while
there are faults in the journalism of both coun'
tries which need 10 be corrected. there are also
excollcncics which are deserving Of cordlai
praise And In this country no less than in
England Journalism IS tending constantly to
reach a higher plane Of intelligence justice and
morality.

WHY CAMPOS FAILED.

Marshal Campos makes TO secret Of his sense
of failure In his official dispatches to tle span
lsh Government he says frankly that the Gu
bans have beaten him, and he explains how they
did so. They outmanoeuvred him. Again and
again he took strategic positions to head them
off. Every time they managed to slip past him
and prrsue their way unchecked. SO confusing
were the movements of the rebes that the great
Marshal was literally driven of the island by
them. and compelled to return by sea f'om
Santa Clara to Havana. He tells u.s. moreover,
this very significant thing, that the people OF he
island are everywhere far more friendly 10 ne
rebels than to the Spanish troops. They give
the former all the supplies and information they
can, while they studiOusly withhold both IRON
the Spanlards, and seem to delight in misleading
and betraying them. AS for arms and ammun-
tion the rebels are about rs well supplied WIN
them rs are the Spanish troops themselves The
Marshal supposes they get them from tht unitec
STATES. despite the facts that they do rot holo
n single port and that the island is WATCHED and
guarded by a fleet of forty yfour vessels.
It is, in fact, perfectly evident that the Span
ish Government has blundered politically far
worse than its foremost general has in military
matters From the beginning it has misjutged.
and 1t still persists in misjudSing, the ifur-
rcction 1t regards it as n mere uprsina OF
marauders, chiefly ignorant negroes. and as ie-
void of support among the better classes of tu-
ban people The fact ls as Marshal Camps
now sees and tells the wilfully blind Goyen-
mcnt that Il is serious insurrection OF TIE
Cuban people, led and participated in by whit
men, and even by crcocs, as well as by negroes
and commanding general public sympathy. II
is vastly more serious than the rebellion OF
twenty-odd years ago, because since that time
there has been tremendous growth OF auton0
mist feeling in Cuba. Fully nine-tenths OF the
creole population now belong to some Home
Rule Reform, Separatist or Autonomst party
and If they do not actively aid the nsurrecton
they sympathize with it far more than with the
Spanish Government.
And now what? The great soldier-statesman
who restored the BOurbOns TO the throne OF
Spain and has for many years been the chief
bulwark Of the dynasty, has failed. He has had
10000 men at his. disposal, and spent more
than S6O.OOO.O0O and yet has failed, and has
been recalled. Who else can hope to succeed
Certainly no one. on the same lines that Cam
, nos followed II there be n change Of policy
and ruthless butchery be resorted to- as Of old

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN JOURNALISM.

Arthur Reed Kimball. the accomplished Editor
Of "Thc Waterbury Conn American does not
take the gloomy view Of American journalism
held by the Rev Dr. G. A. Gordon, Of the Old
South Church, Boston. 1t may be remembered
that when DR.. Gordon returned a few months
ago from a visit to England he was quoted all
over the country as bcwallnS the dsgraccful
infcriority Of the American secular press com
pared with The British. DR.. Gordon's personal
opinion is not, perhaps, as interesting TO others
as 1t is TO himself, bat 1t is undoubtedly shared
by n great many Americans, who, in their dis
gust at certain types OF 'guttcrsnipe' journal
ism in this county, seem to forget that there
are any other types, which are more truly repre-
sentative Of II.
Like DIR. Gordon, Mr.. Kimball has recently
been visiting England, and while there made
close study OF English journalism. The results
Of this study, which he gives in the last issue
of "The Congregationalist," must be gratifying
to all Americans; for he shows that the supposed
superiority OF English journalism Is largely
imaginary There are three respects, he says
in which It is assumed that English newspapers
are superior TO American newspapers. First,
their reports are more accurate and frcer from
partisanshp; second. they more free from
uncIean scandals; and, third, they have better
sense OF proportion in recording news. As 10
the first point, Mr. Kimball found that English
papers edit their news columns quite as much
as do the most partisan American papers. The
Conservative and Liberal journals constantly
minimize and ignore the dongs Of their oppo-
nents in their news articles. When Lord Rose
berry addressed splendid meeting OF 1900 en-
thuslastic people in Albert Memorial Hall last
summer the Conservative journals gave a report
Of 1t filed with remarks tending to show how
small and uncnthusiastc the audience was.
They did, however, report the speeches correct
ly, so far as they reported them at all. In this
