HON. H. SCOTLAND ON WELLING, TON JOURNALISM. A tribute was paid to the independence of The Domixiox by the Hon. H. Scotland (farannki) in tho legislative Council yesterday. Mr. Scotland was arguing that there was a difference being free and king independent. A man li'A" ' ,e ' lcc '} J""'' independent. \\ lth a few honourable exceptions," said Mr. Scotland, "the press of New Zealand is not independent. There are tlireo daily papers in Wellington, of lvhich only one can bo called independent, and long may it remain so! I name it—The Dominion. As for the other two papers, well, Government patronage in the way of advertisements may have something to do with their opinions. I hope that if The Dominion should ever be subject to the same temptation it will not give way. From the commercial point of view it should pay The Dominion to be independent, 'l'hero must be an Opposition paper in the other large towns, and long may The Dominion remain an independent paper."
