THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
Some people are foolish enough to
form the opinion that a public news•
paper is conducted for the purpose of
striking or holding up to public scorn
and contempt the individual. A cor-
respondent writes a letter which, to the
uuintetei-t-e'l,no particulti reflection on
the individual in the whole wide world
can be detected The letter appears in
print. Tile j iurua] is deuounced as a
bold, bad paper by men and women of
the lower type as well as others of
recognised learning. The mission of
an honest newspaper is not of such a
degraded nature as these people seem
to think. A f r.trless public juurual,
because it gives the opinions or utter-
nncea of correspondents is not to be
judged by such opinions or utterances.
The opinions of a well conducted journal
are nottobe found in the correspondence
of its colutnns. Still we find many
learned people, Grit and Tory, Rotnan
Catholic and Protestant, Jesuit and
oven infidel, that require educating on
this line. The editor of a newspaper
is certainly responsible as far as law
and damages are concerned when the
name of any writer is refused and
damages can be proven: The editor
of this journal, during the last few
days, has been threatened with every-
thing from heaven to hades and a warm
place in a 'criminal's cell if he would
not come down on his marrow bonus.
THE NEws-RECORn, editorially,has said
nothing to be afraid of or that it has
nay re [son to make apology for. It is
quite true that correspondents have
sane; access to these columns, whose
utterances have almost shook the rocks
of the earth. While we regret that
such is the case, we are not going to
bow the knee and epologise for them
as though they were our editorial
utterances. The letters were received
in good faith and THE NEWS RECORD
has said so. We regret their publica-
tion. Those who find fault with them
say in,effect they have not been receiv-
ed in such faith, That means our
statement is not accepted in good
faith. If professing Christian people
are willing to stand the consequences,
welt and good• This is where we
draw the line. If a correspondent as
sures us all the costs in legal oases that
may arise, the name wilt not be made
public. We first feel assured that
there is no definite or good cause for
libel. Like other ordinary mortals, we
may now and again be mistaken. But
such mistakes are few and far between.
It ill becomes any close of respectable
people to rise in arms and declare a
boycott or mob law on any journal
which is more honest than themsolvos.
Because people who make such public
and insinuated chargea against an
institution that han stood the teat and
mot with • universal public favor for
years will not succeed. The sooner
thio is understood the better. We
decidedly object to any reapeotable
body of people picturing the writinge of
correspondents as the opinions or writ-
ings, of the editor of this paper. If
we elr'oadv "deserve the severest eon•
sure," there should be no need for an
apology. Tho Methodist ohuroh, the
Presbyterian church, the Episcopal
church, the Baptist church, the Tal-
mage sermons, the Temperance cause,
all find a place in these columns.
Why 1 Because We believe all these
are doidg a good and Godly work.
And still this journal is to be consid-
ered, compelled, to be unworthy
of recognition, a foeto temper
ance,afoe to the well being of aociety.
This will bo news to the genuine tem
perance and religious readers of THE
NEWS RECORD. \Ve retnomber a few
years ago when this journal took up
the cause of a persecuted Methodist
minister. A. few fanatic bigots raised
the same hue and cry. We remember
when this journal opposed the
Scott Act, the same cry was raised
throughout the land. And our couree
through those troublons limos was
proven to bo correct. If our profess
ing friends will not accept our state-
ment, we cannot say more. If a gener-
al boycott is to be placed on THE NEWS -
RECORD by people who do not support
this journal, the sooner the illegal
busiueee is placed in operation the
better, probably, fur all concerned.
GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN.
To -day is the 21:th of May, the
Queen's Birthday. Our gracious
Sovereign is seventy-four years old.
May she long live as the peaceful
ruler of a United Empire and happy
people. 'God save the Queen.
"Brittania's sceptered empress of the world!
Around whose throne the loud acclaim
Of universal joy is never wing'd
With less than victory! no nations all,
As subjects to our Queen, before her bow.
O'er all the earth, thy wide domain extends;
Or where stern Boreas, priding in his
power,
Breatheswinter on the blast, and sepulchres,
The vasty deep in adamantine chains;
Or where the torrid sun his golden rain
Quivers among the nalllt trees of the South,
There floats the flag triumphant o'er the
world,
Dishonored never by the stain of shame,—
The flag that never fell, while British blood,
In British hearts rdmaitied beneath its
shade,—
'The flag that rules the aznre wave, and links,
In sympathy the universe of mind—
The lion -guarded of Britain!"
CURRENT TOPICS.
Gladstone has been forced to ac-
cept in committee the amendment to
the Homo Rule Bill declaring the sup-
remacy of the Imperial Parliament.
Our town totem. admits that THE
NEwe-RECORD was correct when we
said the Conservative Party had noth-
ing whatever to do with the Gore
chargee.
All the cattle por the Allen Line
eteamship Numidion have been slaugh-
tered at Liverpool. The lungs of each
animal worn examined by the veterin-
ary experts appointed for that purpose,
and no trace of pleuro-pneurnonia or
other dieaasos having been found, a
statement has been given to that effect.
it has been remarked tlrnt the feat
of a man pulling against two horses
in a circus is very largely a trick.
It consists in knowing your horses and
in knowing how to distribute your
strength. It is no wonder that when
the strong man of Cole's circus tried to
clothe trick with two gt een homes, he
killed himself. And still this in noth-
ing compared to the recent perform-
ances of "West Street I-Iorse Dealer."
He was evidently acting the part of a
"fresh" and now Mayor Butler is after
his scalp. There are some very had
people in; Goderich, notably "Nest
Street Horse Dealer." Ile and the
annexation organ of that town are "in
the swim."
Seldom has a bettor lot of saddle and
harness horses been offered at auction
than those which were sold at the Horse
Exchange in New York on Monday of
last week by W., D. Grand and con-

Ont. The sale was a crowded one,

not be out of place to also relate a

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,
A POINTER FOR SIR OLIVER.
Toronto ilfai.l: In London, Ont., the
hotels have been ordered by the com-
missioners to close' their bars at ten p.
m. This is a limited application of the
principle of prohibition. Sir Oliver
should ascertain if it is warranted by
the constitnticn.
ONTARIO REFJIM.
The bill of which Mr. Monk moved the
second reading on Wednesday was des
signed, by cheapening registration, to
save thousands of dollars to the people
of the province. But then, it would
have reduced the fat fees of the regis•
tears, and Sir Oliver could not see his
pets suffer in that way, so he called on
his followers to vote it down, which they
obediently did. And this is what is
labelled "Reform" in Ontario.
KB GRANTED A LICEN.;E TO HIS OWN HOUSE.
From an abstract received from the
Registry Office, Walkerton:—The hotel
at Lions Head occupied by Mr. T. St.
John, which has just received a license
is owned by INV. Vandusen, one of the
License Commissioners. Mr. Vandusen
has certainly left himself open for a
fine 01 8500, and :f the Mowat adminis-
tration does not take immediate steps
to have him dismissed from the board
of License commissioners of North Bruce
thea they are, without doubt, more, to
blatne than he is.
SIR OLIVER'S FAT BERTHS.
On the third reading of the bill for
the better protection of and pre•
vention of cruelty to children, Mr.
Meredith moved an amendment
striking out the clause respecting the
appointment of a paid officer to enforce
the law. IIe took the ground that the
law might go on the statute book and
be enforced as every other law is with-
out a special officer. The amendment
was voted down, of course, and those
who are on the i•iside know perfectly
well that the appointment of the office
is the essential reason for the Bill. It
is an open secret that the measure,
while ostensibly based on hutnane
grounds, is merely designed to give a
job to a man who stands in close per.
sonal relations with a member of the
Cabinet.
MEKEDITiI A TRUE REFORMER.
The vote in the L"gil-lature the other
day on Mr, Meredith's bill to enable
married women to enter into contracts
on their own account, to carry on busi-
ness, and to sue and he sued, brought
out more than the interesting fact that
the Government were only sustained
by a vote of 22 to 17. It showed that
Meredith is far more inclined to reform
than Mowat, and that the latter called
on his followers to declare that married
women shall not have the right to enter
into individaul contracts, while the
former held that they should in busi-
ness matters be placed in the seine posi-
tion a8 men and spinsters.

rte was disposed. to, say little about the
loser but his wife, bearing of the afiiair,
went at onpo to lion. Ur. Rowell and
related the story. The acting :Premier
saw the rascally trio and told them if
they did not refund the money he would
have them placed under arrest. ft is
needless to say that the cash was baud'•
ed back to its proper owner. .
A GOOD WORD FOR MEREDITir.
The Templar : The climex of debate
was reached when the brilliant leader
of the opposition, W. R. Meredith,
came to the defence of the bill, and in
a remarkably able and exhaustive
speech gsve unqualified approval to
the principle as well as to the measure.
Mr. Meredith is beyond all question
the most popular roan in the Conserva-
tive party in the premier province, and
he has been frequently spoken of as a
national leader. Without any regard
to party preference every honest prohi-
bitionist must rejoice to find so strong
lend influential a politician on the right
side. Mr. Meredith is a gentleman of
unimpeachable character, a total ab-
stainer, a clean politician, a magnetic
leader, a lawyer of high reputation, and
the greatest debater in the house.
A RRNARKADLi, INCIDENT.

John, N. B. and Halifax. Both gentle.
men took part in the great banquet
in St. John in honor of the Finance
Minister. A remarkable incident took
place on board the train that brought
the two members of the Cabinet in
question from Ottawa. It appears that
three professional gamblers who were on
board Induced a fellow -passenger whose

ed from the following extract, which re-
fers to a leoture to be delivered by Mr.
Meyers before the Michigan Club in
that city on Wednesday evening -Mr.
Meyers le well known throughout
Canada as a brilliant speaker andpor-
found thinker. He was lately Queen's
Counsel at Toronto, but was deprived of
his office by the Tory Governmen t on ao,
count of his advanced views on the sub.
jeotof political union with the United
States.
AN INDEPENDENT OPINION.
The Leamington Post, which claims
to be independent in politios, expresses
its views on the plebiscite proposition
in the following terms :—
If we may be permitted to express an
independent opinion in Lite matter, we
would say that, as it is so recently since
the Legislatures have become the fight.
ing ground for the question of prohibi.
tion, that Sir Oliver be allowed a reason-
able amount of time in which to
formulate his policy regarding it. We
say a "reasonable" amount of tirne, for
if he at once proceeds to acquaint him.
self with the facts of the case and to
consult the first constitutional lawyers
in the Kingdom on the subject, then we
believe his course is a wise one ; but if
Sir Oliver's intention is to use th ques-
tion to serve his party ends, and to
dangle a prohibitory bill before the eyes
of the temperance people during one or
more election campaigns without taking
any definite action regarding it, we be
lieve the prohibitionists would bejustitied
in cutting loose from him entirely. In
the meantime we would say to our tem-
perance friends, watch Sir Ulivcr's
course.
THREE OF A KIND.
We hope a number of our esteemed
Reform contemporaries hal e been study
ing closely what has been said and
done in the Local House during the
past two weeks anent liquor licenses.
The Clinton ATew Era, t Brussels
Post and, the \Vitighern !':ones are all
pretty much tarred with the saute
stick,and perhaps the revelations of :\]r
\leredith and his followers has. caused
their blind eyes to see. The 4.Itlt'ance
stillmaintains that Sir Oliver 1lowat's
liquor license system is obnoxious and
tyrannical, and it doesv not require a
"posted politician" to see that it is so.
Everyone knows it excepting those who
have their trains governed by the little
Premier at Toronto, and many others
know how the license system isoherat -d
but have their nlouthsetlectually sealed.
by the fear of offending their fiieuds.
The three journals alluded to above
had considerable to say on this subject
lately, and they have all said about the
same thing; we hope they can now see
through a clearer pair of spectacles.
\Vinglnuu Advance.
LET THERE BE - LIGHT.
Huron Erpcsitor, Reform : Sone of
the Liberal papers in this Province
seem disposed to sneer at Messrs.
Clancey, garter and other members of
the Opposition in the Ontario Legisla-
ture, because of their assiduity in en-
deavoring to discover irregularites and
misappropriations of money, on the
part of the Government, by means of
the Public Accounts Committee. This
is not t ig it. In making a thorough in.
vestigation into the financial and gen.
eral management as these members of
the Opposition are doing, they are to be
commended rather than censured. It
is said that their object is to
make " political capital. This may
be, but, whatever the object, the
result of such searching; scrutiny, is
beneficial. if everything is all right,
the Government and their friends have
'nothing to fear. If there is something
wrong, the sooner it is known and the
remedy applied the better. The On-
tario Govetnment is, probably, as honest
and competent as any Government on
the continent or elsewhere,but its mem-
bers are human and their supporters are
human and susceptible to temptation,
and it will be a strength to them to know
that they are being well watched.
A SECRET OUT AT LAST.
The Ontario Government are so over.
burdened with money that they must
needs squander it by paying officials,
who have been dismissed for incom-
petency, their salaries alter they have
been discharged. '!'hat is the impres,
sion created by the proceedings at
the Public Accounts Committee
Friday morning. Warden Massie
was again up for examination and stets
ed that Walter Scott, formerly foreman
of the woodenware manufactory at the
Central prison, was dismissed for in-
competency, but that he continued to
darw his salary at the rate of $100 a
month for some months afterwards.
Scott is the man for whom $C00 was
placed in the supplementary estimates
of 1892 as a gratuity, but who refused
that sum, according to Dr. Chamborinin,
inspector of prisons, because he
expected to be reappointed • to his
former, or an equivalent position.
There was other interesting evidence
given Friday morning, notably that
the action of the recently created in•
Spector, Mr. Noxon, had caused frit•
t(cn in the management of the prison.
Moreover, Warden Massie repeated his
statement that he was quite able to
discharge all the work of supervision at
the prtsion. Provincial Secretary Gib•
son was preaent during the meeting, and
hie method of examination, in which
every question was a leading one and
supplied the witness with his cue to re-
ply, was regarded with delight by the
Liberal and indignation by the Conserva-
tive members of the committee.
