AN ANTI-YELLOW MOVEMENT.

■*■ In view of the American Ambassador's remarks on English and American newspapers (says the Daily Chronicle), it is interesting to note that Mr. Albert Pulitzer, brother of tho proprietor of tho New York World, is about to enter the newspaper field in New York by founding a paper which, he says, is to "slay sensationalism." The American people, he considers, are too intelligent to want "such empty pabulum as blood-and-thunder headlines." Ho believes they are tired of having thrills and shocks served up to them every day. Mr. G. W. Ochs, proprietor of the Public Ledger, Philadelphia, holds a similar opinion, and declares that, while the "yellow" papors havo mot with groat success and reached enormous circulations, reaction has set in. "The American people," he says, "are growing tired of the. garish, grotesque circusposter headlining, just as they are grow- | ing tired of the muck-rakers and sensa-tion-mongers and the scavengers, who aro constantly burrowing in the mud sills of humanity." Mr. Ochs describes the habit of the yellow Press, of inserting imaginary pictures of events, as an insult to the intelligence of every self-re-specting reader. Within three days after the San Francisco disaster, the yellow papers inserted fictitious photographs of the San Francisco 'fires which were nothing but wash-drawings of the Baltimore conflagration, as it takes five days for a train to reach .New. York from San Francisco.
