NEWSPAPER HIREllNas.

Apropos to its opposition now, IL will
be remembered, with pain, by those who
have fondly believed that only honest
policy guided ths tergiversatons Of the
Every Evening. that four uhort months
ago Il was assisting the Young Men 3
Democratic Club to agItate county re-
form, aud that it stated that the number
Of commissioners was not material. 50
that the Levy Court system was
abolished.
Now the Every Evening Is opposing
the efforts for county reform made by the
same men whom it encouraged then and
opposing the very bill which it practi-
cally endorsed then.
Since that time the paper which &C.
cused the Morning News Of d corrupt
bargain to obtain the sheriffs printing
has the sheriff's printing itself ana
obviously does not want the Republican
Levy Court abolished, which pays the
sheriff
Men may speculate as TO the influences
and arguments used to change the course
Of the paper, but the sudden conversion
looks suspicious. 1t looks more sus-
picious indeed than the corrupt bar
gain" with which the News was charged,
looked.
For ourselves we have no idea that the
Every Evening is honest now Or could be
honest under it's present management at
any time. Even its reporters who
formerly made public speeches in favor
Of the present movement to change the
Levy Court system, now make public
speeches against il. Ia fact the re-
porters and writers on the paper seem to
be newspaper hirelings, ready to write up
or write down the same measure as inter
est or command requires.
This is more than apparent by the
foolish Misrepresentation they make
against the Five Commissioners biz
showing that the bill has not even been
read
1t is q discred.t to the profession of
journalism and dlscredit TO the citv
that this paper can occupy opposite and
contrary positions on the same subject in
so short time.
The paper, and those who write for IT,
have perfect right to oppose the Five
Commissioners bill, but when they aavo.
este it at one time and oppose it'at another
they betray the cloven foot Of news.
paper hirelings whose opinions are neither
honest nor valuable.

TIM position Of the Southern states In
withholding funds from the Worlds
Fair is that she Force bill, IL passed. will
discourage immigration and investment,
reduce values and cause political dis.
aurbanoes, disastrous to Southern enter
prise aud improvement, and render them
less able TO pay such appropriations;
hence they will not make the appropria-
tions. The position is well taken and
the states srs perfectly iustiRable in
Withholding the appropriations from
their point Of view. Senator Cullom Of
Illinois. whose legislature is considering
a resolution requesting the senators Of
that state to vote against the gag law and
the Force bill, says he does not approve
of dictation from the Legislature 1t
Is true that he and his party do not ap-
prove OF dictation, not even from the
people either.
