Sensational Journalism.

The New Orleans States of last Sun
day contains an admirable article on the
".Decadence of the Press" in which
sensational, or yellow journalism" is
raked over the GOALS in Il forceiul man
ner.
The States has struck a timely blow
at that style of journalism, and its COM
ments should command the attention
and endorsement Of every enteiligent,
thoughtful person in the land, because
it has hit the tap-rOot of the upas tree
Of society, that is doing more to poison
the minds of young people than any
thing else known.
The vulgar character of the SENSATION
al reports Of the conduct Of criminals,
az published in the big metropolitan
dailies, corrupt the young mind, and
tho extravagant and sensational make
up of reports concerning important
2ffa4ic events is fast destroying the on
lid, the If the reading public in news
paper pssports. and this is particularly
the casJAsawith reports of important
events.mMe by telegraph.
We may be old fashioned in our ideas
about such things, but VIC always pro-
fer to bring a paper into onr family cir
