1t seems that in this case one A. D.

and Mr.. Hill was loud in the claim
that the newspapers ought to report the
facts clearly straight and unbiased
and without any wording that would
lead the reader away from the exact
facts. 1t was q speech much applauded
and Mr., Hill was the hero of the occa-
sion, but, curious TO say, as soon as

was when he demanded that the exact

nothing else.
The case Is one that perfectly illus
trates the sort Of voluble hero who
poses as man of extreme virtue, hon.
esty, and candor, but as soon as what
he says Is spread out to the calm, criti-
cal gaze Of the public, he is the very

character that is constantly doing what
Mr.. Hill did on that occasion, going
to the reporters 10 get favors. either
to make his speech more prominent
than 1T really was, or to obtain leave
to write out his own idea, not Of what
he actually SAID but of what he would
like to have said, when he cools off
and thinks the matter over. In all
these controversies. if the newspapers
would expose the facts, and the hum
bugs that are so glib in assailing them,
the public would get an altogether diff
ferent idea of the relationn between
that sort of gentry and the newspapers
than the idea that the voluble ones
would like to have the public receive.
