The publisher would esteem itis favor if readers would, when snaking their purchases, mention that they saw the merchant's advertisement in 11IE News- REcoltD. PARLIAMENTARY, NOT NEIVS- PAPER, GOVERN:NENT, D'Alton McCarthy holds tbeGovorn- ,ur•nt responsible for the utterances of the Empire newspaper. Mr McCarthy is a ebareholder in that paper and has a say in the directorate of it. "The Government owua no stock iu it and has no voice iu its directorate. The Government did not deny responeibil ity for the utterances of the Empire," lays Mr. McCarthy, consequently he holds the Government responsible for them. If the Government had to pub. Hely disavow responsibility for the utterances of every newspaper that sup- ports it it would have no time to de• vote to the conduct of public affairs. It would be absurd to expect this of it. Mr. McCarthy expecte too touch, his position ie utterly untenable. The Premier hs the mouthpiece of the Gov- ernment; his publie utterances aro those of the Goverument. The good intentiocs of a newspaper writer and espousal of the pause of the Govern- ment by the journal he writes for do not commit the governtueut to the policy of either. Sir John Macdonald, during his lifetime, made that plain. On the floor of the House he declared that he or his Government were not responsible for newspaper utterancee no matter how favorab4y disposed it was toward the Conservative party, the Government and himself. The policy of the Government can only be made known through its official and responsible heads. These are respon- sible to parliament and the people and however serviceable the fourth estate may be it cannot be allowed to assume the functions of Government. As we nave said, it would be monstrous to hold the Government responsible for the utterances of the Empire newspaper writers. Those writere undoubtedly have liberty of speech or writing. The publio must take such eu'lncia- tious for what they are worth. But to confound the identity of a newspaper or its writers, who support the Gov- ernment, with the Government itself is the most egregious folly imaginable. It wonld be folly of a kindred kind to expect the Government to disavow the. expressed sentiments or averments of even avowed Governtnent newspaper supporters. FREEDOM AND TORTURE, The United States is often hold up es the land of the "brave and the free." Last Thursday's papers contaiued parti- culars of the lynching of one fleury Smith, a rape fiend, at Paris, Texas. The culprit was a negro and the victim a little white girl. The "devil" de. nerved the most severe punishment the law would allow, but there is not much freedom in a country where the law done not prevail or where it cannot be enforced. In Canada we have very few crimes of the kind, but when they do occur legal and lawful punishment is sure to follow. The uegro problem is one of the very serious questions the United States wilt have to deal with in the near future -a question that may not be settled in a peaceful way. Canadian annexationiste, especially, we would ask to read the following : Words to describe the awful torture inflicted upon Smith cannot be found, fire negro for a long time after starting on the journey to Pars did not realize his plight. At last, when he was told he must die the most awful death by slow torture that human mind could conceive, he begged for protection. He was willing to be shot, and wanted Mar- shal Shanklin to do it. But he was told he would.be burnt to death. His agony was awful. He pleaded and writhed in bodily and mental pain in anticipation. Scarcely had the train reached Paris when his torture commenced. His clothes were torn off piecemeal and scattered in the crowd, people catching the shreds and putting them in their pockets as mementoes. The child's father, her brother and two uncles then gathered about the negro ea he lay fast, ened to the torture platform and thrust hot irons into hie quivering flesh. Every groan from the fiend, every contortion of his body, was cheered by the thickly., packed crowd of 10,000 people. The mass of beings was 600 yards in diame- ter, the scaffold being in the center. Before burning the feet and legs the hot irons, plenty of fresh ones bcingat hand, were rolled up and down Smith's stores• ach, back and arms; then hia eyes were burned out and the irons were thrust down kis throat. The men of the Vance family having wreaked vengeance the crowd piled all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaffold, poured oil on it and set in on fire. The negro rolled and wriggled and tossed out ot the mass only to be pushed hack by people near. est him. ile tossed out again, and was roped and pulled back. Hundreds of people turned away, but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. People were there from every part of the section. News of the burning was sent to every down, and anvils boomed forth the an- nouncement. TILE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. The acquaintance which Mr. Harry S. Howell formed with the kindly peo• plc of the Hawaiian Islands enables hits now to judge of the force of the movement which has deposed the Queen and is making towards annexa• tion to the United Statee. In an in• terview published from Toronto, Mr. Howell save :- "f do not believe," said Mr. Howell, "that the late rebellion is the result of dissatisfaction amongst the natives. Most certainly Jim), have no leaning towards anuexation to ttie States, tbeir sympathies being English. It will be found, I expect, that the whole trouble has been fomented by the American sugar planters who want to g within the charmed circle of the American sugar boui.ties. The institution of these bounties has struck a heavy blow at the sugar industry at Hawaii, and sugar raising being the principal business of the island, this means practically a stagnation in all lines of trade. This is not the first attempt at annexation. In 1855 the Americans in Honolulu en• deavored to join the islands to the United States, and the French and Eng• lieh Consuls sent an official remon• etrance to the King which contained tbeae words: -"'!'herefore we declare, in tho name of our Governments, that any -attempt td annex the Sandwich Islands to any foreign power whatever, would be in contravention of existing treaties, and could not be looked upon with indifference by either the British' or the French Government." "That' ought to form a precedent in the settlement of the present trouble," said Mr. Howell. "1 should have said that there must have been a score of Americans drawing large official salaries, which the Queen was desirous of reduc- ing in number and amount, and this has raised considerable resentinent on the part of the Americans." NEW MARKET'S FOR CANADA. The London Time, of Jan. 20, dis- cussing Canadian affairs, says as follows :- "The McKinley tariff, which. it was anticipated, might force the hand of the Dominion and bring it to its knees begging for a commercial union with the States, has certainly not been with- out a serious effect on the trade be- tween the two countries. Returns recently sent to us by our Ottawa cor- respondent show that during the hast fiscal year the trade with the United States amounted to only $33,830,000, as compared with $41,000,000 for the fiscal year immediately prereding. But this decrease in trade with the United States is not reflected -in the general returns for the same period. The total exports have 'risen from $08,417,- X)) to 8113,963,000, and the total tmn [ports froin $120,000,000 to $127,406,000. These figures are in themselves extremely gratifying, but a still more gratifying feature is -the large increase in the trade between the Dominion and the ese mother country, the exports to the United Kingdom being $66,000,000 last year ae compared with $40,200,000 the previous year. Canada has thus, when shut out by hostile tariffs from the markets nearest her doors, simply sought and found new markets for her produce; one it would be a remarkable illustration of theuncertaintios of politi- cal prophecy and of the irony of every act which it was confidently predicted would force Canada to seek a eortntl�br•- cial union with the States, followedelrl- evitabl by annexation, should in real- ity bind the Dominion in closer bonds of common interest to the mother country. All the indications, indeed, point to Canada's having entered on an era of comrnerial prosperity ; and it is worthy of note that the new Minister of Trade and Commerce, Mr. Mackenzie Bowell, looks forward to a great development in trade between Canada and the Aus- tralian colonies -an object which will be materially advanced when better and more direct means of communica- tion are established between these two portions of the Empire." THE "POOR" FARMER. The farmer, as Well as the business man and' the manufacturer, has his trials and troubles. But as a whole our Canadian people have touch to be thankful for. Recently Mr. John Kernighan, a Huron fanner, of filen• miller, gave some figures and proved conclusively that his farts was paying him at the present time. And now comes a statemel t iu detail from Mr. Ii. M. Williams, who writes the Picton Gazette.. His words. too, show pretty clearly that the farmers are not and should not hogreatly diesutiefied.
