Accokpixg to a Press Association message published by us yesterday, Ministers have collected sufficient proxies to secure the direct control of the New '/imhnd Time*. We do not think inueh of the Ministerial sagacity, The more independent the Amp '/lmhm! Times is of Ministerial interference, the greater is the value of any support it may give to the Government. If there bo no independence, and the paper becomes the mere tool and slave of the Cabinet, it will sink in the estimation of the public and take a lower position than it now holds in the press of the Colony. Govcrnnientorgans throughout the Colony will even regard with a certain measure of contempt a journal whoso last shred of independence lias been cut away by Ministerial proxies.
