BLACKBURN.

1t was current few weeks 60 that
Hon. Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky,
bad used rough language to the Pres
ident, on account of certain appoints
ments in Tennessee. Now We see in
our contemporaries that the above re-
port was false. 1t seems that MIR.
Cleveland did treat Mr. Blackburn
wishes rather cooliy. 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
ed and tho one who started such a
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 ar
unfounded report, as this is now sale
to be. Why this recklessness Will
the truth? The country should not be
made to believe areport and the mex
month disbelieye 1t. How can thu
public have faith in newspapers a
long as untruths are allowed to cnte
1heir 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 false
hoods are made. Newspapers woul
soon become unreliable as teache r
of the people if such lying we're cour
tenanced. The newspapers arc til
only means almost by which the pee
pie learn the history of their ow
ii res, and for a good Governmel
and a good Administration of tt
same, and for we'll informed Poop
therefore we think it is very desif;
BILE that these newspapers print onl
truths. We believe in the Frcedo
of the Press, but we do not believe
allowing writer to mislead the pc
pie into error by stories.
