Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, had used rough language to the Pres ident, on account of certain appoint ments in Tennessee. Now we see in our contemporaries that the above re port was false. It seems that Mr. Cleveland did treat Mrv Blackburn's wishes rather cooliv. We were not surprised at the report. We believed it was true. But now it is denied. How was such a report started? Who originated it? Why was it made up? These questions ought to be answer edandthoone who started such report, if it is false, deserves punish-: ment, Mr. Blackburn would have perhaps lost no influence nor gained any, but still it is unjust to him and disgraceful to the author to start an unfounded report, as this is now said to be. Why this recklessness with the truth? The country should not be made to believe a report and the next month disbelieve it. How can the public have faith in newspapers as long as untruths are allowed to cuter their columns? Though this case in volved very little, still if a slight mis take in facts is made on purpose, then it is probable that great f ilse hoods are made. Newspapers would soon become unreliable as teachers of the people if such lying were coun tenanced. The newspapers are the only means almost by which the peo ple learn the history of their own ti res, and for a good Government and a good Administration of the same, and for a well informed people therefore we think it is very desira ble that these newspaper-? print only truths.
