NEPIA, HATAREI, AKUHATA 16, 1879,
KUA nui te owhiti o te ngakau o te iwi Maori ki te
" Ture Tiaki i te Pai, 1879, " kua whakakorea nei e
te Whare ki Runga; he tika hoki te mahi a taua
Whare ki te whakahe i taua ture. Kua rongo nga
Maori ki o ratou mema etahi kupu mo taua ture,
engari kaore i ata marama ki a ratou te tikanga; ko
tenei ma matou e whakamarama. Ki ta matou wha-
kaaro, he mea hee katoa taua Ture; otira ko te 8 o
nga tekiona te wahi o taua ture e takahi rawa ana i
nga tika e tika ai e ora ai nga tangata o te Kuini.
I roto i te matua korero o taua Ture e kii ana he
" tangata nga Maori no te Kuini" Na, kaore rawa
matou e mohio ana ki te take e tangohia noatia ai
nga tika o etahi o nga tangata o te Kuini—nga Maori
—e waiho ai nga tika o etahi o nga tangata o te
Kuini—ara nga Pakeha. Ki te mea e penei ana te
tikanga " manaaki tangata " a Ta Hori Kerei raua ko
te Hihana, penei, ka ki matou, Panaa atu! He
tangata nga Maori no te Kuini, no konei e kore e
tika kia whakataua ki runga ki a ratou tenei tikanga
poka ke i nga tikanga o mua iho (o te Pakeha). Te
tino oranga nui i roto i nga ture katoa o Ingarani mo
te tangata i herea heetia, he riti heepia kaapu—ara
he riti hamene. I runga i taua tikanga, ka mahara
te tangata i hee te puritanga i a ia i roto i te whare-

——————*——————
The Natives of Whareponga, Otuauri, Oruru, Popoti, Ma-
karika, and other settlements adjacent thereto, are informed
that Tuta Nihoniho will receive their subscriptions to the
Waka and forward them to us. Mr. John Harding is not now
acting for us.
Hata te Kani will receive subscriptions for the Waka from
the Natives of Petane, Tangoio, Aropaoanui, and Moeangiangi.
John Sutherland, Esq of Mohaka, is authorised to receive
subscriptions on account of the WAKA MAORI.
Te Waka Maori.
NAPIER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1879.
THE " Peace Preservation Act, 1879, " which has
very properly been thrown, out by the Legislative
Council, appears to have greatly exercised the mind
of the Native people; they have heard something of
it from their representatives, but they are, in a great
measure, ignorant of its meaning and intention. We
therefore propose to enlighten them somewhat on the
subject. The Act, we consider, is objectionable
throughout, but the 8th sectionals totally subversive
of the rights of British subjects. In the preamble
of the Act the Maories are styled " subjects of Her
Majesty, " and we cannot see why one section of Her
Majesty's subjects—the Maories—should be thus
summarily deprived of the rights and liberties which
the other section enjoys—namely, the Pakehas. If
this he the " liberal" policy of Sir George Grey and
Mr. Sheehan we say, Away with it! As subjects of
Her Majesty the Maories should have no such un-
constitutional measure forced upon them. A writ
of habeas corpus is the great remedy in English law
in cases of false imprisonment. A man who is
aggrieved, or supposes himself to he so, may have
out of the superior Courts a writ directed to the
person detaining him, and commanding him to pro-
duce the prisoner and bring the prosecution to open.

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
herehere, ka taea e ia te tono ki nga Kooti o runga
ake kia tukua he riti hamene ki te tangata nana ia i
herehere, he tono ki taua tangata kia hohoro ia te
kawe, i te tangata e noho herehere ana ki te Kooti
kia whakawakia, kia we te kite i tona hee tona tika
ranei, kei roa kau e herehere ana i tona tinana. He
tino riti taua riti na te Kuini, no kona e kore e taea
te kaiponu i taua riti; ahakoa i roto i nga rangi e
tutaki ai te Kooti, ka taea tonu taua riti i runga i te
kupu a te tino Kai-whakawa, tetahi atu kai-whakawa
ranei. E ahei ana te tuku i taua riti ki nga wahi
katoa o te ao e noho ana i raro i te mana o te Kuini;
no te mea e tika ana kia whakamaramatia ki te
Kuini i roto i nga wa katoa te take i herea ai te
tinana o tetahi o ana tangata. ' Hei tikanga tena e
tika ai te tangata e herea ana, no kona ka kiia na te
Kuini ake taua riti, kia kore ai hoki e taea te kai-
ponu. Ko ta te ture tena. Ki te mea e maharatia
ana he take hee te take i herea ai tetahi tangata;
na, hei reira e kore e ahei te kaiponu i taua rite
heepia kaapu, ka whakaaetia ki ia tangata ki ia
tangata e whakaroaina ana te whakawa mona, ahakoa
na te Kuini ake ano, na wai ranei, ia i kii kia herea.
He oranga tenei e tau ana ki runga ki nga tangata
katoa o te Kuini; e kore. e ahei te whakakore, ma te
hara nui anake, kohuru, aha ranei, ka kore ai taua
tikanga e whakaaetia. Na, me whaihanga ture rawa
mo ia tangata mo ia tangata e herea ana, e kore ai
taua tikanga mona. Koia te mea i tohea ai taua
" Ture Tiaki i te Pai, 1879" No te pito timatanga
rawatanga o mua o te Kawanatanga o Ingarani i tu
ai taua tikanga, a i whakatuturutia rawatia i muri
iho i nga tikanga o Mekana Kaata, me nga ture
maha noa atu o te takiwa o Kingi Erueti III, 1327.
(Ko taua mea, ko te Mekana Kaata, he pukapuka i
tukua e Kingi Teone ki nga rangatira o Ingarani i te
tau 1215; he mea whakatau ki runga ki te iwi katoa
nga painga me nga rangatiratanga e ora i ratou. )
Te pai o te ture o Ingarani he mea ata whakamarama
ia i te takiwa, te take, te roanga, te rangi, te nuinga,
te peheatanga katoatanga atu, e ahei ai te here i te
tinana o te tangata. Ko tenei. Ture i tohea nei e
Kerei raua ko te Hihana ma kia whakaaetia, he mea
whakakore ia i taua tikanga heepia kaapu kia kore a:
e tau ki runga ki nga tangata Maori o te Kuini, kia
kore ai ratou e whiwhi ki taua tikanga whakaora mo
te tangata e herea heetia ana.
Kua tika rawa te mahi a nga rangatira o te Kau-
nihera i whiua atu nei e ratou taua " Ture Tiaki i te
Pai. " Kua kitea e • mahi pono ana ratou i ta ratou
mahi nui ki te hapai i te rangatiratanga o te tangata
kua whakakitea e ratou he take nui e tika ai kia
. whakapono nga iwi e rua ki a ratou; mea ake hoki
kitea ai kua tango ratou i te ara tika e " mau ai te
pai, " ara ko ta ratou whakakorenga i taua Ture
"Tiaki i te Pai. "
I tuhia e matou i roto i nga WAKA nama 29 me te
30 he korero whakamarama i nga tikanga o te Ka-
wanatanga o Ingarani, a i ki matou i reira ai, ahakoa
kuare te tangata e kore e pa kuare noa he mate ki
tona oranga, ki tona taonga, ki tona tinana ranei.
ki hoki matou, kua tuturu ki a tatou i tenei motu, i
trial, instead of prolonging his imprisonment. It is
a high prerogative writ, and therefore by the common
aw issuing out of the Court at any time, by order
of the Chief Justice or any other judge, whether in
the vacation or not, and running into all parts of
the Queen's dominions; for the Queen is at all times
entitled to have an account why the liberty of any of
her subjects is restrained. If a probable ground
can be shown that any man is imprisoned without
just cause, the writ of habeas corpus is then a writ of
right, and may not be denied, but ought to he
granted to every man that is committed or detained.
in prison, or otherwise restrained, though it be by
command of the Queen, or any other person. It is
a natural inherent right which cannot be forfeited
(unless by the Commission of some great or atrocious
crime), and which ought not to be abridged in any
case without the special permission of law. And
this is what was sought to be done by the " Peace
Preservation Act, 1879. " This right is coeval with
the first rudiments of the English Constitution, and
established on the firmest basis by the provision of
Magna Charta, and a long, succession of statutes
enacted under Edward III., 1327. (Magna Charta
is the great charter of English liberty obtained by
the English barons from King John, in 1215. ) The
glory of the English law consists in clearly defining
the times, the causes, and the extent, when and
wherefore, and to what degree, the imprisonment of
the subject may be lawful. The Act which Grey.
Sheehan & Co. endeavoured to get passed would
have set aside the right of habeas corpus in the case
of Her Majesty's Maori subjects, thereby depriving
them of this great constitutional remedy against
wrongful imprisonment.
In throwing out this " Peace Preservation Act"
the great majority of the gentlemen composing the
Legislative Council have shown that they are honestly
fulfilling the duties of their high position as guar-
dians of the liberties of British subjects; they have
given proof that they are worthy of the confidence of
the people of both races; and the result will show
that they have taken the proper course to preserve
the peace" by disallowing this Act for the " Preser-
vation of the Peace. "
In numbers 29 and 30 of the WAKA we published
two articles on the Constitution of England wherein
we shewed that the liberty, property, or life of the
humblest individual could not be invaded by the hand
of oppression, and that under bur form of govern-
ment all the liberties and privileges enjoyed by Her

raro i te ahua o to tatou Kawanatanga, nga tika me
nga mana katoa e horapa ana ki te iwi nui o te
Pakeha kei Ingarani; a e koa ana matou ki nga
mema o te Kaunihera, kua kitea nei e kaha ana
ratou ki te tiaki i nga tika o te tangata katoa, ahakoa
Maori, Pakeha ranei. Me he mea i tukua e ratou
tenei Ture a to tatou Kawanatanga " manaaki ta-
ngata" kia tu ana, penei, ngau ana te mamae i roto
i te ngakau Maori katoa o te koroni, kua pouri te
iwi Maori katoa ki te hee raua ko te mate ka whaka-
taua ki runga ki a ratou; a, tona tutukitanga iho, he
nui te raruraru, nui atu i to te mea e puta mai ana i
toga mahi a nga akonga porangi a te Whiti.
Ko tetahi tohu tenei Ture e mohiotia ai te kuare
o Kerei raua ko te Hihana ki te whakahaere i nga
tikanga o te taha Maori, me to raua kuaretanga ki te
ahua o te iwi Maori. Ka ki ano matou e koa ana
matou ki te whiunga a te Kaunihera i taua Ture;
ma kona e kite ai nga Maori i te whakaaro tuturu o
te Paremete e tohe nei kia rite tonu nga tikanga ki
nga Maori ki ta nga tangata Pakeha o te Kuini. E
hari ana matou ki a Ta Wiremu Pokiha ratou ka
ona hoa i whakahe ki taua Ture. Ko ta te ngakau
ano hoki tena e mohio ai mo Ta Wiremu Pokiha,
he tangata hoki ia e mohio rawa ana ki nga tikanga
Maori; tetahi, he tangata tika ia, he tangata wha-
kaaro rangatira, e kore ia e pai kia tukinotia tetahi
tangata a te Kuini, ahakoa tangata ware noa. Ko
tenei Ture whanoke tetahi take e kore ai e pai kia
pooti tetahi Maori kotahi noa nei, i te pootitanga e
takoto mai nei, ki te taha o nga tangata e tautoko
ana i a Ta Hori Kerei. E ki ana taua hunga o
Kerei, he hunga "manaaki tangata" ratou, otira
kaore he tangata o tenei pito o te ao e hira ake ana
i ta Kerei tana mahi nanakia, takahi i te tangata;
ko ona hoa hoki e piri ana ki a ia he koroke whaka-
wai, he kimi oranga mo ratou, he tinihanga noa atu.
Ta matou kupu ki nga Maori o Haaki Pei, me
pooti koutou ki a Henare Tomoana, Omana, Kapene
Hata, me Tatana—nga tangata i uru ki te tu-
raki i tena hunga nanakia, a Kerei, me te Hihana
ma. Kei whakawaia koutou—ko etahi, e tautoko
katoa ana i a Kerei.
Ko nga tikanga enei, kai raro iho nei, o taua Ture
kua korerotia i runga ake nei: —
Ko te matua korero o taua Ture e mea ana, Ko
etahi Maori, he tangata no te Kuini, kua noho i te
takiwa kua taha ake nei, a e noho ana inaianei ano
hoki, i runga i etahi whenua a te Kuini i te koroni
nei, he whenua ia i tangohia i te tuatahi i runga i
nga tikanga o te "Ture Whakanoho Kainga o Niu
Tirani, 1863; " a i te wa e noho ana aua Maori i
runga i aua whenua i takahi ratou i te pai, i mahi i
etahi atu mahi hee hoki, a e korero ana ratou kia
naahi tonu ratou i aua tu mahi; a e mea ana ma aua
mahi e raruraru ai te koroni, e ngaro ai te pai; no
kona he tika kia whakaritea etahi tikanga whakatika
i te ture e tatanga ai te mahi mo aua tu tangata, kia
mau ai te pai o te koroni.
[Kaore matou e mohio ana me he mea ranei kua
taia ki te reo Maori taua " Ture Whakanoho Kainga
o Niu Tirani, 1863. " He mea tika hoki kia perehi-
tia, ka tuku ai ki nga iwi Maori o te motu. ]
«
Majesty's subjects in England are secured to us iri
New Zealand, and we are glad that the Legislative
Councillors have shown, by their action iri this matter
that they are determined to resist any encroachment
upon the liberties of the people, whether Maori or
Pakeha If they had permitted this Act of our
" liberal" Government to pass, a sense of wrong and
injustice would have rankled in the minds of the
Native people throughout the colony which would
have been productive of infinitely more trouble and
mischief than anything which a few misguided and
infatuated followers of the Whiti could do.
This Bill is but another proof of the incompetency
of Grey and Sheehan to manage the Native people,
and their total misapprehension of the Native char-
acter. We rejoice, we say again, that the Legislative
Council has thrown out the Act; by doing so a proof
has been given to the Native population that the
legislature is determined to afford them equal rights
with the Pakeha subjects of the. Queen. We are
glad that Sir William Fox and other leaders of the
Opposition were opposed to this Bill. Indeed from the
great experience which Sir William Fox has had in
Native matters nothing less could have been ex-
pected from him, and from his upright and honorable
character, we would never suppose that he would ad-
vocate anything like oppression even of the meanest
of Her Majesty's subjects. The attempt of the Grey
party to pass so iniquitous an Act, is another strong
reason why not a single Native in the coming election
should vote for any supporter of the Grey party—a
party professing to he " liberal" hut led by one of
the greatest despots in the southern hemisphere, and
made up of demagogues, place hunters, and political
schemers of every description.
To the Hawke's Bay Natives we say—Vote for He-
are Tomoana, Ormond, Russell, and Sutton, the men
who have assisted in the overthrow of the despotism
of Grey, Sheehan & Co. Be not deceived—the other
candidates are coming forward in the interest of the
Grey party.
• The following is a recapitulation of the Act re-
ferred to above: —
The preamble sets forth, that certain aboriginal
Natives, subjects of Her Majesty, have been for
some time past and are still in occupation of certain
lands in the Colony, the property of Her Majesty,
which lands were originally taken tinder the provi-
sions of " The New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863; "
that such Natives have, while in the occupation of
such lands, committed breaches of the peace and
other offences, and threaten to continue to commit
such breaches of the peace and offences; and that by
reason thereof the peace of the colony is endangered:
and that it is therefore expedient that provision should
be made for amending the law so that such persons
may be promptly dealt with, and the peace of the
colony preserved.
[We are not aware whether the " New Zealand
Settlements Act, 1863, " has been printed in the
Maori language or not. It is clear that it ought to
be so printed, and circulated among the tribes
throughout New Zealand. ]

THE MAORI PRISONERS' TRIALS ACT, 1879.
—————*—————
The following is a summary of the " Maori Pri-
soners' Trials Act, 1879, " passed by both Houses,
with an amendment made in the Upper House that
it be only in force one month after the meeting of
the new Parliament: —
The preamble sets forth that a large number of
Maories have been committed for trial at the Supreme
Court at Wellington, and are now confined in gaol;
that the said Maories have been so committed for
offences against the public peace and other offences •
dangerous to the colony; that other Maories may
hereafter he committed for like offences, and that it
is desirable that convenient arrangements may be
made for the trial of such offenders,
Section 1 gives the short title of the Act.
Section 2 declares that the Governor in Council
may fix the date of trial of such Maories, and may
declare what number of them shall be tried at any
sitting of the Supreme Court.
Section 3 provides that the Governor in Council
may order that such Maories shall be tried at any
place in the colony where the Supreme Court sits.
The date and place of such trial shall be set forth
in the Order in Council, and the Supreme Court at
which any trial shall be so ordered to take place, and
every Judge of such Court shall have the same power
and authority in respect of such Maories or trial as
if originally they had been committed for trial at the
date and place named in the Order in Council.
Section 4 declares that the trial of any such Maori
prisoners shall not be delayed by virtue of the powers
contained in the Act for a longer period than six
months from the date of the passing of the said Act.
[This last section was altered in the Legislative
Council by the amendment mentioned above, to the
effect that the Act be only in force one month after
the meeting of the new Parliament. ]
THE GOVERNOR AND THE DISSOLUTION.
/
Apparently the Governor has no faith in Sir
George Grey's promises, and distrusts his intentions.
Before proroguing Parliament he insisted that the
Premier should give him a written assurance that the
writs for the Election should be issued without delay;
and, further, that this stipulation should be made
known to both Houses. The following is the corres-
pondence on the subject which was read in the House
on Friday, the 8th instant: —Memorandum for the
Premier: The Governor has received from, the
Speaker of the Legislative Council, and from the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, addresses
which have been adopted by each House of Legisla-
ture, in effect urging the Governor to insist upon the
fulfilment of the stipulation which he attached to
the promise of dissolution, namely, that the new
Parliament shall be called together at the earliest
moment at which the writs can be made returnable.
In view of these circumstances, and of the fact that
Ministers have been condemned in both Houses of
Parliament, and having regard also to the critical
state of Native affairs, the Governor considers that
it is his bounded duty to take every possible precau-

George Grey hopes that this assurance will be satis-
factory to the Governor. (Signed) Sir George Grey.
Wellington, August 8.
Memorandum for the Premier. —The Governor
thanks the Premier for his memorandum of this date
and in reply has much pleasure in informing him that
the assurance which it contains is quite satisfactory.
If the Premier sees no objection, the Governor would
be glad if he would communicate to the Legislative
Council and to the House of Representatives the
Governor's memorandum of yesterday, the subse-
quent memorandum on the subject, as showing to
both Houses the action taken by the Governor upon
their addresses. —(Signed) HERCULES ROBINSON.
August 8.
Sir William Fox pointed out that the memorandum
of the Premier did not provide for the date when the
dissolution would take place. Between the date of
the prorogation and that of the dissolution a month
might come or even more. What his side of the
House wanted was an assurance that the dissolution
would take place at once, say within two days of the
prorogation. Without that assurance his side of the
House would not be satisfied.
Major Atkinson spoke to the same effect, and asked
the Premier to say that the new Parliament would.
be summoned by the 20th of September.
The Premier said he could not give any date for a
dissolution, but would repeat that it should take
place within two or three days of the House rising.
It was his desire that the House should meet again
on the 20th of September.
We are informed by a well known chief of the
East Coast that when he was in Wellington the other
day he called upon the Hon. Mr. Sheehan. The
servant who admitted him informed him that his
master appeared to be troubled in mind about some-
thing. On entering the room where the hon. gentle-
man sat, the chief observed a copy of the WAKA
MAOBI on the table, which he appeared to have been
reading. Perhaps some of the pills which we have
administered have not agreed with him.
The Evening Post is informed on the best author-
ity that the Southern members are determined to
make a vigorous effort to have the next sitting of
Parliament at Christchurch. A motion to that effect
was carried last session, but many who voted in favor
of it regarded it as a joke.
The Hutt Maories sent five cart-loads of provi-
sions to the imprisoned Maories.

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
I te ahiahi o te Turei kua taha atu nei i whai
korero a Henare Tomoana, M. H. R., ki nga Maori
tokomaha i Waiohiki. I whakaatu ia ki a ratou ana
mahi i mahi ai ia i te Paremete, a whakawhetai katoa
ana, whakapono katoa ana, ratou ki a ia. I whaka-
pai ia ki te awhinatanga a Omana, Tatana; me
Kapene Rata, i a ia i roto i te Paremete; i kii he
nui tona hiahia kia hoki ano aua Pakeha ki te Pare-
mete ki te whawhai tonu ki tenei Kawanatanga kino.
Kua ki mai a Henare Potae, o Waiapu, ki a matou
e tino whakaaro ano a ia kia tu ia i te pootitanga e
takoto mai nei hei mema mo te Takiwa Maori ki te
Rawhiti. Te mea tika me whakaari a Henare i ona
whakaaro mo nga tikanga o te motu, kia mohio, nga
iwi me he mea ranei ko ia te " tangata tika. " Ki te
kore ia e pai kia pena, e kore hoki e nui he tangata
tautoko i a ia. Ki te mea he tu kau tana, kaore e
whakaatu i ona whakaaro mo nga tikanga e pa ana
ki te iwi Maori, me pehea e mohio ai nga iwi ki te
tikanga ? Akuanei pea he pooti kau ta ratou i te
tangata e poka ke ana aana whakaaro i a ratou; he
tangata pea kaore e whakaaro ana ki te oranga mo
ratou ? Engari me karanga a Henare, i te ra e
whiti ana, tona taha e tautoko ai ia, me he mea ko
te hunga turaki i te Kawanatanga, ko te hunga i a
Kerei ranei.
Kua kite matou i tetahi kupu i roto i te Haake
Pei Herara nupepa, e ki ana he PAI me he mea
kaore i tono a tatou mema kia tukua mai e te Ka-
wanatanga te Tera., tima nei, hei hokinga mai mo
ratou ki Nepia nei, kia whai takunga ratou e kakari
ai ratou ki nga Minita mo te mahi whakapau moni
ina huihui te Paremete hou. Tena ranei e pai te
Herara me he mea kaore i pena te whakaaro o a
tatou mema? Aua. He whakapae kau tenei.
Kore tena whakaaro i puta mai i roto i te ngakau
tika, ngakau rangatira. He kuare—kuare rawa. Kai
te wareware pea te Herara ki te wahine a te Witi-
moa, me te wahine me nga tamariki a te Riihi; i
whakahokia mai i runga i taua tima. Ki ta matou
whakaaro ko te tino take tena i " tukua mai ai taua
tima ki a tatou mema, " e ai ki ta te Herara,
E ki ana te nupepa o te Pei o Pureti, mo " Mata-
tua, " te Whare Maori e kawea ana ki Hirini, ki te
Whare nui whakakite taonga o te ao: —Ko te Rev.
Penina e ki ana kore rawa atu he whare whakairo a
nga Maori o mua iho i rite ki taua whare te pai, e
pena ana hoki te kupu a nga mohio katoa. Tera e
nui te whakamiharo a te katoa ina tu taua whare ki
Hirini. E 80 putu te roa, e 40 putu te whanui; e
50 ona pou totara, he mea whakairo katoa; ko nga
takiwa i waenganui o nga pou, he mea whakaahua i
nga mahi o mua, a nga tupuna e kiia ana. Kaore e
kitea ana he whare pera i nga motu i tenei moana,
engari kei te iwi Marei.
E ki ana tetahi nupepa o te taha tonga: —" I tino
whakawaia rawatia te iwi nui tonu o Niu Tirani i
roto i enei tau e rua kua taha ake nei, i tino tiniha-
ngatia e etahi tangata whakakake, kuare, wairangi
kau noa iho, e ki nei ratou he hunga manaaki tangata
ratou, he hunga whakanui i te iwi. Ko te ara poka
tata tena ki te nui mo ratou, ko te whakawai. Otira,
ka whawhai nga tangata tupua ki a ratou ano, katahi
ka kite oranga nga tangata tika. Ta matou e tuma-
nako nei, kei te pakarutanga o tenei Kawanatanga
ka tu pea etahi Minita hou e kore ai tatou e wha-
kama. "
I patai a Tainui i roto i te Whare me he mea ranei
ka whakaaetia tetahi rima rau pauna hei mahinga
mo te rori i Omate haere ki te tumu o Taiaroa. Ki
ana a te Hihana hei tera Paremete whakaritea ai
aua moni.
Mr Henare Tomoana. M. H. R. met a large number
of Natives at Waiohiki last Tuesday night, to whom
he gave an account of his proceedings in Parliament
and received a unanimous vote of thanks and of con-
fidence from them. In his address to them he
acknowledged in warm, terms the assistance he had
received from Messrs Ormond, Sutton, and Capt.
Russell, and he expressed a strong desire that those
gentlemen should be re-elected to assist in carrying
on the war against the present Government.
Henare Potae of Waiapu, East Coast, informs us
that he intends to come forward at the approaching
election as a candidate to represent the Eastern
Maori district. Henare should give some expression
to his political principles, so that the tribes may have
an opportunity of judging whether he is the right
man or not. If he will not do so, he cannot expect
to obtain much support. If he conies forward simply
as a candidate, without declaring his views on ques-
tions affecting the Native people, how are they to
know that in electing him they will not be electing a
man opposed to their views and interest ? He should
openly declare whether he intends to support the
Opposition or the Grey party.
We observe that the Hawke's Bay Herald HOPES
that our representatives did not induce the Ministry
to place the Stella at their disposal in order that
they might have another thunderbolt of the " dread-
ful extravagance" type to launch at the heads of
Ministers when the House re-assembles. Does the
Herald HOPE this ? We think it would he glad if
such were the case. Such a suggestion could not
spring from a mind actuated by honest and manly
instincts. The idea is low—decidedly low; and We
are sorry for the Herald. The Herald seems to have
forgotten that Colonel Whitmore's lady and the wife
and family of Mr. Rees had to be sent back; and
we suspect that fact had some influence on the mind
of Ministers when they " placed the Stella at the
disposal of our members. "
Writing about the Maori house, " Matatua, " sent
to the Sydney Exhibition, the Bay of Plenty Times
says; —The whare, we have been told by the Rev. S.
M. Spencer, of Maketu, and his opinion is corrobo-
rated by all who have seen it, is one of the finest, if
not the very finest, specimen of Maori art ever
executed. When erected at Sydney, it will no doubt
be a centre of great interest Its dimensions are
80ft, by 40ft. or thereabouts, and it contains fifty
carved posts of totara wood, the spaces between
being filled in with panels of Native woven manufac-
tures, representing scenes and events in Maori life
and history. These carved houses are, we believe,
not found in any of the Pacific isles but something
like them is to be seen among the Malays.
The Bruce Herald says: —" The people of New
Zealand have, for the last two years, been the vic-
tims of a gigantic political fraud, perpetrated by a
set of vain and incompetent nincompoops, who have
dubbed themselves Liberals and Democrats. It is
the surest way to power. When rogues fall out
honest men get their due. In the bursting up of the
present Government we see some reason to hope that
a new Ministry will be formed of men whom we can
support without forfeiting our self-respect. "
Replying to Tainui, as to whether the sum of £500
was placed on the estimates towards the completion
of a road between Omate and Taiaroa Heads, the
Native Minister said the amount would be provided
for next Session;.
