how many are spurious. Nothing is more
common than for the dispatch of tomorrow
to contradict the dispatch of to-day by
saying "Mr. or Senator or General So-and-
$50, fatty denies having had any such in.
4" terview with reporter as has been pub
lished :" and the newspaper readers have
become SO accustomed to this that they
pass it by without remark or reflection.
The other day long dispatch was tele-
graphed to a sensational paper in San
Francisco recounting the alleged bank
ruptcy of noted dramatic Spectator.
Next day this elaborate story was declared
TO be malicious fabrication. We have
not the remotest idea as to where the truth
lies in the matter. 1t is just as likely
that one story should be true as that
the other is. Il is possible that
the whole thing is an advertisement.
1t is equally possible that it is
an outrageous attempt to destroy the
mans credit. But SO frequent are the
falsehoods told about everybody that it has
ceased to be possible to form any intelli-
gent judgment about the SO. called news of
the day. The fabrication of news has in
fact never been SO systematically carried
on. For instance, when General Skobelef
had created sensation by his speech at
Paris, some American publishers, DESTROYS
of working the lead thoroughly, at
once proceeded to invent fresh and more
truculent speeches for the Russian General,
and in day or two so confused the whole
situation that Skobelef was represented as
coming directly from the Cars presence,
where he had been roundly rebuked,
and making two or three fresh speeches,
even more belligerent and obstreperous
than anything which had gone before.
Take an illustration nearer home. Yester-
day the San Francisco papers all published
what pretended to be interviews with
Oscar Wilde, but in nearly every instance
it was perfectly clear that the imagination
of the reporters had supplied the greater
part of the matter. One of these re-
porters had the effrontery to fabricate
an interview by taking a report of
Wilde's lecture, and making answers to a
number of questions cut Of it. This
was a very transparent device, but the
whole speech showed how thoroughly
acclimated the Seven League lie has
become. The reporters all want to be
thought "sEart," and above all things
they dread being "leit." 70 avoid that
fate they will at any time draw on their
imaginations for their facts, and if the
result is sufficiently sensational the
publishers never complain. Between the
lies OF the Interviewer of the Period, and
the lies of the Inventor of Telegraphic
News, it is difficult in these days
to know what can be believed. For
as the invention of news is not confined
to this country, but pervades Europe,
there is no defense against it in any COM
bination or exercise of watchfulness.
In fact the public must take their chances
for the most part, and so must those
whose function it is to comment upon and
show the significance of events as they
pass. Whether the present fourishing
state of the Lie in journalism will con-
tinue, it is of course impossible to say. If
it continues to pay, however, it probably
will not die soon.

The sEvEN-LsAGUED LIE.

The Lie has seldom been more active
than at present in American journalism.
In fact it seems to be the active and in
forming spirit of nearly all the more inter-
esting passages OF current assertion. Most
of what the American public know about
their public men nowadays reaches them in
the form of interviews. And of these in
terviews none but the publishers know

So far back as the session Of lS95'2G,
John Quincy Adams being President, the
need Of q better regulation Of the civil ser.
vice induced theSenate,o appoint special
committee Of which Thomas Ii. Benton
was chairman, to consider sundry propos-
cd constitutional amendments looking to
this end. The report Of that committee,
prepared by Mr.. benton, with some slight
changes III amounts relating to the revenue,
would stand for q correct and strong expo
sitlon OF the present situation.
There was Decreasing public debt and
growing revenue, and the committee fore.
saw that unless the revenues were reduced
and executive patronage shorn Of its evils
there would be an increase in the civil list
"beyond the power Of the mind to calcu-
late or comprehend" The revenue was
then 100000, and the fears Of the future
We're based on an. anticipated revenue Of
$5O,000,000. Last year there was a revenue
Of over 400,000,000; the surplus alone was
nearly three times the gross amount to
which Benton looked forward with appre.
hension. Tho number OF civil servants
has grown TO hundred thousand.
Mr.. Dentons committee expressed the
opinion that 'the exercise Of great patron
uge in the hands OF one man has con-
slant tendency to sully the purity Of our in
stitutions and to endanger the liberties Of
the country" The danger is greater now
with so much money in the treasury that
the Government does not know what to do
with it, and force Of civil servants more
than three times the size OF our standing
army.
Nobody appreciates this danger more
than the President; aud he asks to be re-
lieved at once Of his share Of the response
bllity and the tax upon his time. At tho
beginning Of the Government the Offices
were comparatively 50 few that it was not
utterly impossible for the President 10
have some knowledge OF the men who
filled them. Now, the President is
obliged to rely upon the representa-
tlons OF congressman and other ready
volunteers, whose recommendations are
not made in every case with regard to the
greatest public good. 1t is not fair to|the
Executive to lay upon him duty inpossi-
Bile to perform. 1t is not well for the coun.
try to place SO much power in the hands Of
one man.
There never will be better time for a
change. Public opinion is ripe for it, and
the President will give his aid TO such mea-
sures as will accomplish the result. The
present Congress ought not to dodge the
issue.
