Journalism, and Other Journalism.
The dc Lome incident has demon-
strated the difference between journal-
ism and other journalism, says the Wa-
ter-bury Republican. The patriotic
newspapers of the country have 2111-.
proved the dignified, manly and tact-
ful manner in which the administration
has handled the delicate matter; they
have recognized the importance of the
incident but haven’t attempted to ex-
aggerate it; they have declined to act
like escaped inmateszfrom the violent
ward; and they havedn‘stinctively felt
that the course of President McKinley
111 dealing with the incident-with firm-
nessbut without a trace of personal
' resentment was suggestedjby thefi-
Newspapers which have treated the
affair in this spirit have represented
journalism. Newspapers which have
treated it in a different Spirit have rep-
resented other journalism. _They have
insisted on having de Lome booted out
of the country forthwith; they have
tried to show that de Lomc‘s bad
break would cause a bad break be-
tween this country and Spam; they
have insisted on getting up a war over
the} ' incident if possible; they have
wickedly, for sensational purposes, tried
to stir- up-international strife; and they
have been in a state of mind fibecause
