SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM.

We sometimes hear the remark, that 1t
is hard to determine whether the newspa-
pers are doing more good or harm. There
is no doubt but that clean, we'll conducted
are very potent in the educa-
tioaal and moral development Of the read
ing public; but it is also evident that mod
ern sensational or yellow journalism is do
ing vast injury.
The daily press in its anxiety to estab-
lish large circulation has been led to the
adoption of dangerous means to attain
that end. The columns of a number OF
the great daily papers are filed with read
ing that is sensational and that, indirectly,
if rot directly, is productive of great IN
jury. They dish out quality of news that
cultivates an appetite for the sensational
and unclean. Special correspondents and
the press associations are largely on the
hunt for the most sensational occurrences;
and the correspondent or reporter who
can outstrip all others in securing the facts
in connection with some terrible tragedy
and communicating them to the newspa
per that has employed him, is regarded as
both fortunate and valuable. Murders IL
all their horrible details are related, lynch
ings and assaults upon females are graphi
caily described, and this character of un
healthy mental food is placed before th'
reading public until it becomes almost re
voting.
Without there is revulsicn in public
sentiment,or there is combined effort b.
the press for cleaner and less sensational
matter, there is no telling where the thini
will end The magazines and countr,
weeklies have, as a rule, been free froc
such faults. Some have tried to folio,
the sensational yellow daily papers, but W
trust the country weeklies will continue
stand for the clean, and against the sense
tional and vulgar.

THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
Hopeful Facts EIioited at the Recent
International Conuress.

One of the British delegates 10 the re-
cent International Congress on Tuber-
culosis at Berlin gives the following hope
full summary as the sense of the Congress
with regard to the treatment and cure OF
tuberculosis
a. That tuberculous disease of the
bones and joints of the glands and skin
and abdomen, though dangerous, is not
incurable, and, by the modern methods
of operative medicine, is in most cases
successfully cured.
b. That tuberculosis of the lungs (phthi-
sis or consumptlon) is frequently cured,
and probably more often now than for
merly.
C. That there is no specific drug which
has direct influence upon consumption,
but that many, both old and new, have
valuable effects upon its complications.
d. That abundant food, particularly of
fatty nature, and lifein the open air,
are no less valuable in the treatment than
in the prevention of phthisis, and that the
hospitals and asylums for providing these
essentials, which are now numerous in
Germany, and far from rare in England,
Austria and Hungary, France. and the
United States, are of essential value.
e. That the influence of climate, alti-
tude, temperature, and dryness of the air
and soil, of travelling, and of sea voyages
has been very differently estimated at
different periods, end that, while each is
in various degrees important, popular
opinion probably exaggerates their power.
f. That the prospect of improved sue
cess in the treatment of tuberculosis in
general, and of consumption in particular
by the advance of pathology and the
progress of surgery and medicine, is a
hopeful one, almost as hopeful as that of
limiting the spread of the disease by pre-
yentive measures.

THK Government is now coming most
of the gold that goes to its minis into five
and ten dollar gold pieces. Heretofore
most of the yellow metal has been coined
into twenty dollar pieces. They have
been used principally by banks for their
reserves, and for that reason the circulation
of gold has been restricted. With eagle
and half eagle pieces there ought to be
plenty of gold put in circulation. If The
people will ask the banks for them, thew
are likely to get them.

THAT "RGuND ROBIN"
A Dispassionate View of the CorrespOn-
dents Complaint.

Savannah "News,)
The President has decided to take no
notice of the complaint made by the
correspondents at Manila, namely, that
thew are not permitted to send what they
think they ought to send 10 their papers
in this country in order that the American
neonle NAV have an unbiased statement
of the actual condition of affairs in the
Philippines. It's doubtful if very much
has been withheld from the people. If
the correspondents were permitted to
cable their views, it is safe to say they
would differ as widely as the correspond
ents now differ with General Otis.
What they want to cable and what they
are not permitted to cable are their opin'
ions. But What is to hinder them from
sending by way of Hong Kong whatever
they want to send Their dispatches
wouldn't be more than three or four days
old when they reached this country; they
would still be fresh and interesting. And
if not permitted to cable from Hong Kong
what is to hinder them from using the
mails to get their views of men and things
before the American public?
No doubt General Otis censor cuts the
meat out of many dispatches, but it is
worthy of notice that no very important
news is being brought home by the return
ing volunteer troops. This shows that the
country has been pretty well informed of
every important happening.
There is no doubt that General Otis has
to be careful to keep the news away from
the Filipinos that would have the effect of
encouraging them. They have the idea
that there is great party in the United
States which is ready to lend them a help
ing hand, and will help them if they hold
out little while longer. If the cores
pondents we're allowed full swing they
would get into circulation many things
which would encourage the FiIipinos. The
therefore, is not to be con-
lemned if it is administered with judg-
nent and liberality.

AS VIEWED BY A FOREIGNER.
What an English Engineer Thinks Of
the National Export Exposition.

Mr. Herbert Allison, an English CIVIL
engineer of note, formerly connected with
the Panama Canal and other big enter
prises in Central and South America
speaking to representative OF the Ma
tioual Export Exposition, said
81 ain fully aware Of the fact that the
trade between the United States and some
Of the Latin American nations is already
large, but am strongly Of the opinion
that it is not nearly what it should be.
"The English, Germans and Italians
have established large interests through
out South America and have pushed their
wares with wonderful vigor in those good
markets. At the same time the American
exporter, while he can ship better goods
for less money than his European compe'
titors, has not given the attention he
should have given to his Southern neigh
bors.
1.-The war with Spain has been a big
advertisement for the United States,
bringing your country wildly to the at
tention of the entire world. The world
knows what this country can DO in time
Of war, and the National Export EXPOSE
ton will afford Americans an opportunity
of showing the thousands of foreigners
who will attend the Export Exposition
what can be done in times of peace by
American skill and push."
