Pareamene Katohu states the roads to and from Patangata to Napier and

same position as land for which a Crown Grant has not been issued ?
Land for which a Crown Grant has been issued, can be dealt with
validly by sale or lease to Europeans, while land which has not passed
through the Native Lands Court can not legally be so dealt with.

HE PANUITANGA POOTI TENEI.
KI nga Rangatira Maori e whai Pooti ana mo konei,
ara mo te wahi e kita ana ko Nepia.—•
E koro ma, E hoa ma, tena koutou. Kia rongo mai
koutou ki taku korero. Tenei kua whakaae ahau kia
tu hei Mema mo Nepia nei ki to tatou Paremata hou:
a, ko ahau ano tetahi, ina hoki ka tokoroa nga Me-
ma Pakeha kua whakaritea mo Nepia nei.
Koia ahau ka kii ata nei ki a koutou katoa, oku hoa
Maori nei, kia mahara mai koutou ki tenei tangata
e karanga atu ana ki a koutou, — Tena pea, ki
etahi o koutou, ano mehemea he karanga whanau-
nga taka karanga atu ki a koutou; aera, ano me
he reo tamariki piri poho e whai ana, e tangi ana,
ki toona koka;—Me he tangata ranei e arohaina ana
e kimi ana i tetahi purapura maana i te wa rumaki

Ae, tena pea koutou ei oho mai e whakao mai, pera

•' Tenei, e Neho e, tenei matou ka piri pa matou ki a

koe ki te Paremata hei hoa mo matou.?
E hoa ma, e kore ahau e whakanui inaianei i taku

hio ana koutou ki ahau. Aera, koutou e noho nei inai-
anei, me era atu hoki o tatou kua riro atu, toona mano

HE nui ano nga korero a tetahi Nupepa a Te Haku
Pei Herara, i tuhituhi ai, a kihai rawa matou i ahaaha
atu ki aua korero kotete a taua Nupepa. Te take, he
mea na matou, he tino korero hau warea una kupu. Te-
tahi take he mea na matou na nga tangata aua korero i
tuhituhi, i kiia nei aua tangata na ratou nga he e amuamua
nei e matou. He mea hoki i tuhituhia ai aua korero, kia
kite nga Maori i aua korero, a ma reira pea e matu ai
te tohe a nga Maori ki te whakawa i a ratou whenua
i riro he nei i te Pakeha. Tetahi he mea na aua
Pakeha na ratou nei aua korero i tuhituhia ki taua
Nupepa, mehemea e rangona tikatia ana a ratou mahi
nukarau i te Maori, penei e kore rawa ratou o tukua

ki nga minenga Rangatira haere ai, i te mea hoki ko
aua mahi a ratou he tino mahi nukarau tahae. A ko
aua mahi a ratou i he ai, i riro ai te whenua Maori
kia kaua e rongona e te iwi. Na aua mahi tahae a
ana kai tuhi o taua Nupepa i oho ai te mauri o nga
tangata whakaaro tika. He mea i puta ai enei kupu
a matou, he kitenga na matou i tetahi korero hou a
tana Nupepa a Te Herora. A i mea matou, me puta
ano he kupu a matou mo aua korero, kei kite noa te
iwi i ana kupu tito a taua Nupepa, a ka mea pea te
iwi he pono aua kupu titotito. He nui noa atu nga
kupu a tau Nupepa mo nga korero a tetahi o nga
Mema o te Paremata, mo nga kupu a taua Mema i
korero ai mo nga korero whakapae mo—na i aua mahi
maminga i nga whenua a nga Maori. I penei hoki te
kupu a taua Mema i roto i te Paremata. "E pai e ora
mai nga Maori, a e puta mai ratou me a ratou kiri a
ora ana. He mea atu tenei na matou ki taua Memea
mehemea ko te kiri kau anake o toe ki te. Maori, he
pai rawa ata tenei, i te mate mo ratou mei noho
tonu nga Maori kia atawhaitia ratou tahi ano ko nga
hoa o taua Mema. Mei noho tonu nga Maori i
aua Pakeha hei atawhai i aua Maori, penei ko
nga whenua a aua Maori o riro i taua Mema
me ana hoa, a ko aua Maori e mate rawa atu
i te tino o te mate, ka takoto noa iho i te huanui
koropeke kau ai, a ki reira hemo ai i te kai, i te kore
rawa. He mea atu tenei na matou kia aua kai tuhituhi
e kore rawa e puta he tikanga kia ratou mo aua
tuhituhi e tohe nei ratou kia tuhituhi tonu. No te
mea hoki e rongo ana ano nga Maori i ana korero
whakapati. A ma aua korero e tino kino rawa atu ai
te whakaaro a nga Maori ki ana ta tangata, no te
mea hoki, na aua tangata i tahae nga whenua a nga
Maori, a ka anga nei ano aua Pakeha ka ako he i te
iwi, e hua e ngaro a ratou mahi kohuru i aua whenua,
i mahia ra e ratou i mua. I penei hoki te kupu a
tetahi o nga Rangatira Maori. He tino mahi he te
mahi a aua Pakaha, ina hoki, ka anga ka korero penei
ai ratou. E tika ana te kupu a taua Nupepa e ki
nei, ko totika e mahia ana i roto i nga Kooti Pakeha,
he tika i kitea ki te ahua o te mahi pono anake A
koia ra pea te take i mea ai aua kai tuhituhi i aua
korero, kia kaua e tukua nga mahi a nga Maori ki
aua Kooti i Ingarangi kei kitea te he o nga mahi o
aua Pakeha, na ratou nei ana korero tito, me nga he
i mahia i mua. A ma aua whakawa i Ingarangi e
kitea ai nga he i mahia. A ma aua Kooti e tino
mahi aua mahi kia rawa ai ona he. He mea
pu ano na matou, ki to mea e kore e puta tetahi
whakawa ma te Maori i aua whakawa ka mahia nei
heoi ra, ma aua whakawa ka puta ai he utu tika mo
nga whenua e mahia i enei ra a muri nei. A ko
etahi o nga tangata ua ratou nei i tuhituhi nga
korero e taia ana e taua Nupepa e Te Herara, ko
ratou nga Pakeho kua pau nei ano etahi o a ratou
moni hei utu mo nga whakawa i whakawakia ai ratou
e nga Maori. A na reira i tino tara ai ta ratou
korero a muri nei, e kore matou e ki, ki ki nga kupu
wawata a tana Nupepa a To Haku Pei Herara, mo
waiho ma nga whakawa e ako ratou ki te mahi tika.
A he tino kupu na te tutua ratou, koia matou i
mea ai ekore ta te tutua reo e utua e matou, engari,
me noho hangai.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1875.
PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY.
WE have refrained from taking notice of a series of
articles written in a paper called the " Hawke's Bay
Herald " for two reasons : in the first place, they were
too contemptible iu character, and secondly, because
they are instigated by certain parties deeply interested
in the matters on which this paper so freely comments.
They are written with, the hope of disheartening the
the Maoris, and preventing them from proceeding with
their causes of dispute in the Courts of Justice, so
that the dark deeds which have been perpetrated on
their unfortunate victims—deeds which, if exposed,
would stamp their perpetrators as men unfit to hold
a position of honor in any class of society, com-
mitted by the aid of gross fraud and corruption, and
which they desire to be buried in oblivion—may not
be brought to light, making honest men shudder at
at the idea that transactions of such a description
should have unconsciously been carried on almost at
their very door-posts. Oar attention has been drawn
to an article in a recent issue of the " Herald," which
is calculated to mislead many who aro ignorant of the
facts of the cases commented on, and who, on seeing
no reply to these statements, imagine, perhaps, that
there may be some small scintilla of truth in the as-
sertions of our contemporary, and to undeceive those
we now write. A great deal has been written by this
paper of an observation made in the General Assembly
by one of the men interested in these transactions
when he attempted to defend himself from the accusa-
tions laid to his charge. He said " The Natives would
be lucky if they were left with their skins." We can
tell that gentleman and his associates that the Natives,
judging from their past transactions with the " Ring,"
will be better off if they retain their skins than they
would have been, if left to the tender mercies of him-
self and his " confreres," as in that case they would
have been denuded of all their lands, and deserted to
die iri beggary ou the high roads of the Province.
Those who instigate, and those who write the articles
in this hireling organ, may rest assured they obtain no
purpose by so doing, as their assertions are translated
to those interested—the effect being to make the Natives
more bitter against those who first robbed them, and
now adopt such unworthy means with the hope of
covering their iniquities. A well-known and highly
influential chief, after having had an article of this
class read to him remarked " These people must have
a very bad case when, they resort to such moans as
these to endeavor to gain their ends." The " Herald"
however is correct, when it states that the "justice
which is obtained in a British Court of Law is only
justice according to Law and Equity," and it is doubt-
less from this that the instigators of the mendacious
articles it publishes from time to time are so anxious
that none of these cases should be heard in England,
knowing that many of the deeds committed by these
Provincial land sharks would be brought to the light,
and would not bo tolerated by the Law Courts of that
country. We assert positively that never if the Natives
stall not gain a single case in any court of law affect-

ing their landed estate, that they will be the gainers
by the action of those who are endeavoring to procure
them justice, as in many cases which have already
transpired, whore they have been duped of their lands,
but the titles not found correct, the people who have
taken advantage of their ignorance have been com-
pelled to pay a fair price or disgorge ; and by this
means, and with the advice and assistance given the
Natives in selling and leasing their lands, they have
derived an increased revenue, and are already beginning
to feel and acknowledge the benefits they have derived
from the so-called " Repudiation Committee." Some of
the instigators of the articles our contemporary delights
to publish, have by this means been touched in their
pockets, and forced to disgorge some of their ill-gotten
gains, and it is this which makes them so bitter, re-
gretting the monetary loss a great deal more, than
attacks on their dubious notoriety. For the future,
we shall make no remarks, or any false statements the
" Herald" may make on matters that aro still sub
judice, or take any notice of the low personalities in
which it delights to indulge.

seen entering Mokau lately is reported to be owned by an
Auckland firm, who bought pigs, cattle, fungus, and corn
from the Natives, and have arranged to run a boat once
a fortnight into the Mokau. If this report is strictly true,
it shows that Aucklanders have headed Taranakites in the
matter opening trade with Mokau." . ,

The proceeding of the Native Lands Courts during the
past financial year have been limited to the Provinces of
Wellington and Auckland as far as the ordering of titles
is concerned. The claims to land pending last year were
874, extending over all the Provinces. 474 new claims
are still pending, and 172 claims have been advanced
various stages. The total number of acres to which titles
have been ordered by the Court is 771,416, all of which,
with the exception of 2,077 acres in Wellington, is in the
Province of Auckland. 296 testamentary orders have
been applied for, and 63 issued. Orders for subdivision
have been applied for in 73 cases, but only 6 have been
issued during the period. 13 interpreter's licenses have
been granted, 12 of which are in Auckland, and one in
Hawke's Bay. There have been only three re-hearings
during the year. The feed do not amount to much. £431
has been applied for, but only £24 was paid, leaving a
balance outstanding of £407. There appears to he too
little care exercised in the collection of these fees. While
in other branches of the Service rules are strictly adhered
to, there appears to be no guiding principle at all here.
It would appear from the return that Auckland is pre-
eminently the place for interpreters and others interested
in Native matters. Not only are they most numerous
there, but the most work has been carried on in that
Province.
E mea ana te Nupepa a Te Whanganui Herora.

Mema Maori mo Waikato. He mea hoki pea na te
Paremata kia kaua e whakaaetia etahi Mema Maori
hou mo te Paremata." He mea i taia ai enei korero
e Te Wananga, hei titiro ma te Maori, kia kite ai ratou
i nga whakaaro a nga Nupepa Pakaha o Aotearoa nei,
mo te kupu e kiia nei, Uia nui he Mema Maori mo te
Paremata. Hei nga ra a muri nei, ka tino korero te
Wananga mo ana tu whakaaro a ana Nupepa. A Ua
tino whaaki te Wananga i aana tikanga mo ana kupu.
The following is taken from the " Wanganui Herald":—
"Mr. Taiaroa's attempt to increase the number of Maori
representatives in the House from four to seven has foiled,
and the result can surprise nobody. Were Maoris confined
to voting only for their own representatives, seven would
not be such an unfair number; but at present a large
number enjoy a double franchise. They can vote at the
ordinary elections the same as any European, provided
they have been placed on the Electoral Roll for the dis-
trict, and in addition to this, at the election of members
for their special benefit. In this respect they therefore
exercise a right which is denied to the white population
As the tendency of the policy pursued towards the Maori
is calculated by degrees to diminish all distinctions be-
tween the two races, a consent to such an increase in
Maori representation would be a backward step which
would greatly delay the consummation we at present
looked forward to. The Maori has at present a number
of rights that are denied to the European, and the dual
representation is one of them. He cannot complain of
being unfairly treated in this respect, and ought therefore
to be content with the present state of things. For the
same reason, a subsequent attempt to get another member
for the Waikato, also made by Taiaroa, failed, the House
having evidently made up its mind to countenance no
further increase;." The above paragraph is quoted to show
our readers what the opinions of a section of the New
Zealand Press hold on this matter of Maori representation.
We shall deal with this matter at a future period, and
speak with no uncertain voice.
He korero enei, i kiia o Te Poihipi Tukairangi kia

kupu e puta, a e mutu i te kupu kau.
The following which we were requested to have inserted
in some English journal, by Pohipa Tukairangi, has al-
ready appeared in the columns of the Napier " Daily Tele-
graph. The meaning of the original telegram, sent pro-
bably by some minion of the Native office to the Press
Agency in Wellington will be found in the first paragraph
of our quotation :—"In reference to a telegram of the 17th
instant that reported Native excitement at Tokano caused by
the threatened visit of one hundred Waikatos to revenge the
desecration of the graves of their chiefs, we are enabled
to throw some light on the subject. In the first place,
certain Waikato were on their way to Tokano to pay their
annual visit to their eel-fishing ground. When on the
road they heard reports concerning the exhumation of
certain chiefs during the late war. The reports however,
were not true. The fact of the matter is, that at the last
sitting of the Native Lands Court at Taupo, a large block
of land at Tokano was passed through the Court. Imme-
diately outside the boundary of this block there are buried
ten Waikato chiefs who were mortally wounded at the
siege of Orakau, and fleeing to Tokano were there in-
terred A short distance from this burial place, but within
the boundary of the surveyed, block there is another
cemetery in which are buried certain Taupo Natives mur-
dered by Te Kooti. It was with the object of preventing
the possible desecration of the graves of these latter, that
Pohioi Tukairangi, Heu-Heu, and Kingi Herekiekie, or-
dered the exhumation of the bodies, and their removal to
the cemetery where were buried the Waikato chiefs. It
will therefore be seen that the graves of the Waikatos
have not been desecrated, and the excitement, if there
ever was much, will cool down at the feast which is sure
to be held to seal the amity of all parties. There is not
the slightest necessity for any alarm, nor for the interven-
tion of the Native Office."

The Auckland " Evening Star" publishes the following
confirmatory of the allegations made by Mr. Sheehan in
Parliament against the Hawkes Bay Land " Ring" :—
" The following letter, which we have received from a
gentleman who occupied a leading position at the time
in one of our principal banking institutions, will establish
beyond doubt that although the General Government of

carried on, they do not appear to have taken any steps
Whatever in stopping the evil. We have perused the
original communication, and can state that the copy is an
extract one; here it is: 'Napier, July, 14, 1871. WILLIAM
Fox, Esq., Wellington. Dear Sir,—As you are a powerful
advocate for the propogation of abstinence among Eng-
lishmen, I am satisfied that you will not blame me for
asking you to do something for the Natives in this district
to prevent them killing themselves as they are now doing
by the consumption of the filth supplied them by the
publicans. I was under the impression that publicans
were prohibited by law from selling spirits to the poor
fellows, and in other parts of the colony I have seen such
a law enforced; but here it is more ' honored in ' the breach
than the observance,' if such a law exists. I have seen
women and girls of say fifteen years of age supplied with
dark brandy (?) until they were in such a state as to make
it necessary to be lifted into a trap or cart to remove them
to their homes. If, for the sake of peace and so on, it is
necessary to let the Maoris have drink, let good beer or
any other mild stimulant be saleable by publicans ; but I
do think they have no right to be poisoned wholesale, as
they undoubtedly are at the present time in Napier.—
Yours faithfally,——" P.S.—I don't know whether you
remember me. I am a son of the Reverend-—— lately
resident at Wellington. That advantage was taken of the
Natives to sign deeds and other papers' to their future
detriment at such times is beyond doubt, and indeed the
subscriber could adduce numerous instances where such
means were repeated, until steadily and satisfactorily to
themselves the action of the "Ring" brought its actors
before the public in such a manner as not only to give
them a very unenviable notoriety, but made their joint
purchases be looked upon as more than suspicions to the
discredit not only of themselves, but to the discredit of
the colony by the people outside its shores.
E mea ana te Patea Meera o te 6 o Nowema.
" He nui noa ata te pai a nga Maori i tae mai Tei te
Taone nei. A i kapi katoa nga waahi o tana Taone
nei i te tioi o ratou. I kiki katoa nga Toa, nga Pa-
parakauhe, nga Kori katoa o te Taone, i te wahine i
te tamariki. I haere mai hoki ki te Kooti Whakawa
Whenua Maori, ko te Toa nui i tu i mua hei takoto-
ranga mo nga kai a nga Hoia, i tukua ma aua tini
Maori nei. He nai ano hoki i haere ki te waahi
raorao noho ai. He tini no taua iwi nei, i pau ai nga
kai. E kore pea e oti wawe te mahi a Te Kooti.
Otiia kanui ano te noho pai o ana tini Maori, kahore
hoki he kapa a etahi Pakeha mo ratou. Ahakoa te
turituri a te ngatu, ko te kino a te whakaaro i kore.
He pai ano ia mei mohio taua tini iwi ki te kino o te
inu waipiro. A kia hoki taua iwi Maori, ka noho
kai kore nga Pakeha o te Taone nei, a kia tae mai
ra ano he kaipuke uta Ti, Huka, Paraoa mai, ka kite
ai ano konei i te kai.
The "Patea Mail" says of the 6th instant:—" Since
Wednesday last, the Maoris may be said to have occupied
this township, and, as far as can be judged from outward
appearances, seem to be enjoying their visit amazingly.
The streets, public-houses, and stores, are crowded with
Natives of both sexes and all ages who have come in con-
nection with the Native Lands Court business. The large
store in the Resipend Magistrate's Reserve, formerly used
for commissariat purposes, was placed at the disposal of
these visitors by Major Turner, and a large number of
them availed themselves of its shelter. Others were hos-
pitably welcomed at Poverty Flat, and the whole have
found stowage somewhere or other. The result of such
an invasion, in our small township, has been alarming to
housekeepers, bread, meat, &c., having sallen short, the
demand for such articles having been almost more than
the possible supply. The Native Loads Court business is
likely to last some days, and the state of siege, in which
we are at present living, will not be raised till then. It
is only fair to the Natives to say that so far they have
conducted themselves well, and that beyond a little noise,
having its foundation in anti-teetotal principles, they
have given no cause whatever for complaint to the most
nervous inhabitant."

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Do you give insertion to the following in your paper
The tribes who assembled at the sitting of the Native
Land Court at the Wairoa were the Urewera, Rongowhaka-
ata, and Ngatikahungunu, in all about 450. And all these
people have made Karaimiana Takamoana their agent to
let or sell all these lands, because of the nefarious act of
selling land by some of these tribes. And Te Urewera
have made Karaitiana Takamoana Bole agent for their
district.

Mahita i etahi Kura tamariki Maori, kahore toku ngakau
i koakoa ake, na i taku taenga mai ki Te Aute kia kite i
taua Kura, nui atu taku miharo ki te Mahita o taua Kura,

te pai o ta raua ako i nga tamariki, me te nui o to raua
atawhai, me te nui o to raua aroha, ki nga tamariki, ano,
he tino tamariki na raua, ano nga tamariki he tuakana he
teina na te whaea kotahi, a kahore au i kito i tetahi wahi-
ne penei me tana wahine te atawhai, a he whakaaro Ra-
ngatira i roto i a ia ; ara he aroha, he atawhai, he tiaki pai
i nga tamariki. Ki te penei tonu ta raua mahi me te tuturu
o to noho o nga tamariki^ ko tenei te Kura e puta tika nga
tamariki, kia kaha ki ta koutou Kura hei oranga mo kou-
tou a enei ra e haere ake nei, no te mea kei te maumauria
e o koutou matua te oranga mo koutou, ara nga whenua i
te mea kahore ana matou i matau ki te whakahaere i nga

koutou me matou hoki, ko te pai ia ma koutou e hoko nga
whenua a te wa e matau ai koutou. Ka huri.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Allow a place in your paper for a few remarks 1 wish
to make of my appreciation of the very perfect manner
in which the teacher of the Te Aute school teaches the
children of that school. I have seen children who are
taught in other schools, but it was only on seeing these, I
fully appreciated the kindness evinced in teaching chil-
dren. The Rev. Mr. Williams and his good lady pleased
me very much by the kind way in which they rule the
children by love. They treat the children as if they were
their own, and Mrs. Williams is truly as a mother to them,
I have not seen any other lady act in this kind way but
Mrs. Williams, and if this spirit is continued as that
which is to rule the teachers, this school will be that from
which will come competent scholars. I would advise the
children to learn as much as they can, so that they may
may bo able to gain their own livelihood, as there is not
not much prospect of their parents retaining any land by
which they can in future derive any benefit. If there
parents would hold the land, and when the children have
become learned, and allow them to mako use of it, they
might be benefited, but the parents are acting in a foolish
way with it in these days.

KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA.
Tenei aku kupu ki nga iwi Maori o Aotearoa. E mea
ana te Wananga ko to utu mo te Wananga Nupepa i te
tau kotahi ; kotahi pauna, e rua herengi me te hikipene.
E whakapai ana au ki tenei whakaaro. Kia rongo tonu
ai tatou i nga korero o ia whenua, o ia whenua, o to tatou
Ao ! kia rongo ai hoki i nga utu o nga whenua, o nga kau,
o nga hoiho, o nga hipi, o nga kai katoa e mahia aua e te
tangata i runga i te whenua, kia pera ai me te Pakeha. Ko
tenei mahi pea a te Pakeha, e rite i a tatou, ua reira hoki
etehi Pakeha i Rangatira ai, he mea titiro ki nga korero o
nga Nupepa, ka mohiotia nga mea pai, nga mea kino, mo
te nui haere tonu o a te Pakeha Nupepa. Koia toku
whakaaro i mea ai, kia pena tatou, ara, kia nui te manaaki
i ta tatou Nupepa i a te Wananga. Katia e taunu, e whaka-
pehapeha, ara, e penei na, Ha ! Hei aha maku tena
Wananga, mo wai tona painga. E hoa e te tangata o
penei aua o whakaaro, kaua e pena, e hara hold i te tika,
rno te Wananga anake, engari mo tatou tahi, ma tatou a
to Wananga, a ko tatou ma te Wananga, kia rite ai i a
tatou te tuhituhinga e mea nei, kia whaka turia te rama ki
runga i te turanga.
E hoa ma kua pai rawa atu au kia te Wananga hei
Nupepa mo te iwi Maori. No te mea he nui atu nga
tangata o konei e ui mai ana he aha ana korero o te
Wananga ? Koia au i mea ai me utu tena tangata, tena
tangata kia te Wananga kia rongo ai ia i nga korero kei
waiho ma etahi e utu, a ko etahi hei ui mai. Engari ano
ma ia tangata, ma ia tangata.
E te Iwi Maori kia watea, kaua o ngoikore. Otira
ki te rite tonu i te iwi Maori, ka penei ai te tuku korero,
me nga Nupepa i nga Wiki katoa o te tau. .He kaumatua
koe, e mohio ana ki nga mahi nui, iti. Heoi ano aku i
kite ai inaianei.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
To the Natives of all New Zealand : The WANANGA says
that for one copy of that paper per annum is charged £1
2s. 6d. I fully agree to this price, that by it we may hear
the news of all the world, the price of land, cattle, horses,
sheep, and articles of food whatsoever, which are cultivated
by man, so that we may try and compete with the Euro-
peans iu agriculture. It is from such pursuits as these
Europeans become rich, and it is by the help of news-
papers they learn what, and where prices rule the highest.
Hence I say let us follow their example, and support our
Maori paper. Do not make light of the WANANGA, or say
" What good can I get from that newspaper." Those of
you who may say this, do not recollect that the WANANGA is
the medium by which we shall gain knowledge, and it will
be by the knowledge we gain from it, that we as a people
shall rise in wisdom As TE WANANGA is as a light
put up to illuminate our darkness. Friends, I fully
approve of TE WANANGA, as that which shall guide us the
Maori people. Many people of my place, ask what TE
WANANGA says, hence I say let such people take that
paper, and they will be able to see for themselves. It is
not just that some pay for the paper, and others gain the
knowledge conveyed by it for nothing. O Maori
people uphold the paper, and then you will have the news
every week.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE ELECTORAL DISTRICT
OF NAPIER.
GENTLEMEN,—It has been suggested to me by some
of the Electors, that as some time may elapse before
the writs for the General Election are issued, I should,
give you a short outline of the policy which I would follow
if had the honor to be returned to the House of Repre-
sentatives as the now member for Napier at the ensuing
Election.
1. In reference to the much-vexed question of Abolition
of Provinces, I may briefly state I am strongly in favor
of them being done away with, and would support, in
their place, any system of Government whereby the
revenues of each district would be expended locally.
2. Should it be found necessary to bring the question of
further taxation before the House, I would prefer to see
it take the form of a Land Tax, as, by this means, those
who are deriving large incomes from the possession of
vast areas of land (and who are, iu many instances, ab-
sentees), would contribute their proportionate share
towards the revenue of the colony, and enable the Go-
vernment to carry on public works of a re productive
character, without burdening the colony with a greater
incubus of debt than it already bears.
3. I am also in favor of the San Francisco mail service
being carried out as originally intended, viz., with a
coastal service. I look upon this as of the greatest im-
portance to the East Coast of New Zealand.
4. I would advocate further economy in the Civil Service
i of the colony, but this, I anticipate, would take place with
the Centralisation of Government.
! In reference to other matters of local importance, I
shall have an opportunity of discussing them with you
when I address you personally.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlernen,
Your obedient servant,
ROBERT STUART.
