THE MEMBERS OF THE JUBILEE. "



WE are those whose idea it was to fur-

     ther and publish the name of the

       great day of  Queen  Victoria by

       acting as. messengers and reporters

to give us news: Topia Turoa, H. te Aoterangi,

A. Tahunuiangi, Hiko Tahana, Parete Wareta,

Mei  Ripeka, Kingi te Nerekiekie, Porokoru

Patapu, Hori Pukehika, Teone Potaka Ohi-

pene, Te Aohau Nekitini, Paroto Whakahei-

rangi, Wi Pauro, Rotohiko Rerepari, Wiremu

Makitonore, Kita Hamene, Toko  Reihana,

•Menehira te Koon, Wera Potaka, Hoani

Papita, Tuka Matairangi, H. te Whatahoro,

 Hawira Rehe, Peehi Turoa and Teoni Kuini.

   We  greet you, the tribes and families and

 chiefs dwelling in your courtyards in our two

 islands, as we are dwelling here, looking at

 the ideas and works of the great European

 nation, with its constant mana and chieftain-

 ship, and then upon ourselves, the Maori race

 of these islands, who  are still in darkness,

 living through the want of energy  in our

 dealings; for this reason we, the elderly men

 belonging to this place, set about establishing

 a newspaper to be  named  " Te Tiupiri, "

 (" The Jubilee. ") Now, we  quite  recog-

 nise the difficulty of such an undertaking as

 publishing a newspaper, as is instanced by

 all the efforts which have been made by the

 chiefs of knowledge and means of setting up

 presses to bring out a newspaper to explain

 to us and teach us, whether by Europeans or

 Maoris. Such presses however never lasted per-

 manently so that newspapers would come regu-

 larly to our homes. The following papers

 have gone  out of existence, namely, " The

 Maori Messenger, " " The Hioi, ' "The Waka-

 maori, " " The 2nd Wakamaori, " "The Kori-

 mako, " "The   Wananga, "  'The Kotahi-

 tanga, " " The Huia tangata Kotahi" and " Te

 Paki o  Matariki. "Te  Paki o Matariki"

 failed because  of not  having  gone  forth

  into the world  to enlighten. If  we  have

 omitted the name  of any other newspaper

 which has ceased publication, what we have

  to say is this, that all those came to grief

 through  our  treasured apathy to  support.

  There is one other reason for the failure of

 those newspapers, namely, those who used

  their brains to bring out those newspapers

  to instruct and to give us knowledge were

  so half-hearted in their work. We  are fully

  aware that there  are  two  chief posses-

 sions of the European  nation whereby it

 increases, on the earth and they are schools

 and  newspapers; these two things teach

 great knowledge, the  school opening the

        THE JUBILEE. [5]            TE TIUPIRI.

door and the newspaper to keeping it open

by supporting, warning, directing, teaching

and refreshing the memories of those of the

generation who were educated at school and

those who did not go to school. Then again

there is another trouble which we have, and

that is that some of us  go to school to

acquire the knowledge  of the European,

others  go to school to learn to read and

write Maori, and others do not go to either

of the  schools above mentioned, but  are

merely  existing with eyes  blind and  ears

without  hearing. On  this account, those

of us who are able to read English books

and newspapers can read the news of the

 world, but others of us cannot avail ourselves

 of the knowledge of the European. We

 have therefore made up our mind, having

 been for three years ignorant of the world's

 news, and our hearts yearn to hear who will

 deliver us. Whether it will be those who

 have acquired the young shoots of know-

 ledge of the Pakeha, or who on account of

 the length of time we  have made  our

 Queen's great day as a pretext for bringing

 the matter up.

   The paper will be printed in Whanganui

 town, and will be published weekly; for a

 year there will he 1500 copies issued weekly,

 and the subscription is 7/6 for six months,

 and 12/6 for twelve months. 52 numbers

 will be kept and bound as records for Euro-

 pean Libraries, for Rangatiras and thoughtful

 men; the  price of the book will be 10/6;

 the volumes will be bound half-yearly. Ad-

  vertisements for stores, property, lost and

 found, &c., will be paid for according to scale.

  The canvasser will explain the price when

  he visits you, or, if the advertiser sends his

  advertisement  the editor or the secretary

  will inform   him   of  the  price. THE

  JUBILEE will do  this, advertise shops and

  everything else, which is to be paid for by

  scale, in both English and Maori. The news

  of the world, telegrams, extracts from news-

  papers and  other English books will not

  appear in  English in the paper. Letters

  sent by Europeans or Maoris which are not

  in Pakeha newspapers, will be inserted in

  both languages, as will reports of any Maori

  meeting. The Parliamentary news and the

  news of the Maori Parliament for the two

  islands, and news in connection with Maoris,

  Pakehas (men and women), the doings of the

  European  church or the  Maori  church,

  genealogy, legends of the Maori ancestors or

  of the Europeans, courts (Police and Native

  Land, anything  that  will be  of interest

   therein; sales, leases mortgages, transfers,

wills; coaches, horse races, boat and canoe

races, football, cricket, circuses, theatres,

letters of science, advice, instruction, expla-

nation.

  On  Tuesday, 4th January, 1898, and

thereafter our JUBILEE newspaper will go to

the homes of those whom we  are able to

address, and  any   who  do  not  receive

a copy  must not  feel hurt thereat, but if

word  be sent by letter or wire, giving the

name  and address of the person desiring it

the JUBILEE will reach you without fail.

  There are 24 members of the Committee,

 seven to form a quorum, and the committee

 has selected H T. Whatahoro as editor and

 R. Riweti as secretary. Hori Pukehika and

 and Ru Reweti being treasurers. The Bank-

 ers are the Bank  of New  Zealand. All

 monies   received by  collectors appointed

 are to be  paid to the  Treasurers, and all

 payments for advertisements; in the event

 of the canvassers not seeing any one who

 may desire to send advertisements or sub-

 scribe to the paper, the intending subscriber

 should send any money by P. O. order to the

 Treasurer of the JUBILEE newspaper, Whan-

 ganui. The first issue ou the 4th January,

 and the second on the 11th January, will be

 supplied  gratis, but after these issues fees

 will be  payable to the  treasurer or to the

 canvassers, who  will give receipts therefor.

 And  now  that you have decided that our

 newspaper will appear in your homes, we

 pray  that you will support and assist our

  venture so that it will not collapse the same

 as other newspapers have done. The paper

  will not refuse any article which  may be

  sent, either by Maoris or Europeans, which

  may be of use, benefit or education to mau,

  but any taunts, backbiting, accusations, de-

  famation, will not he allowed to he printed

  in the paper.

    Some of us are members of the Maori

  Union, but we  all support any  means

  whereby the mau and the land may benefit.

  We have heard that the Union is about to

  bring out a newspaper to be called "Te Puke

  ki Hikurangi"; if it be brought out we

  shall be glad, we shall then have two news-

  papers, and we shall probably support the

  paper in everything which  we  see will he

  of advantage.

    We  would remind our subscribers that it

  is not well to read out the news of the paper

  to all and sundry, as that is one evil which

  may  befall our newspaper and which prevents

   others from subscribing, but let us act as the

   Pakeha does, whether a rangatira or other-

wise, and let each man get a paper for him

self for his own enlightenment.



  All who subscribe to the paper with the

canvasser will receive a receipt from him,

and the names of subscribers and amounts

paid will He published in the paper, and we

ask all Europeans and Maoris if any can-

vasser be seen acting in an improper way

to wire us at once, so that the Committee

can deal quickly with  the offence and ap-

point another man to take his place.

       ODDS AND ENDS.



  The Native Land Court resumes its duties

on the 7th of March, when   the Pipiriki

Township  will be the first case called on for

hearing.



  The  date of the Wanganui  Regatta is

definitely fixed for the 17th of March. We

hope all those interested in the Canoe races

will be up and doing.



  The  Public Trustee is expected shortly to

pay Wanganui  a visit in reference to Native

matters.

  Hamuera   Raikiritea one of the  three

natives of the Ngatiapa  tribe, who signed

the Treaty of Waitangi, died last week at

Rangitikei, He  was 96 years of age.



  The  oldest living European born in New

Zealand is Mrs Lethbridge now  residing at

the Bay of Islands. Her age is 80 years.



  Rumour  has it, that the first business of

of the next session of Parliament will be to

abolish the Native Laud Court. " Ae pea. "



  We  understand Mr Loo Davis, during his

recent visit North to the Bay of Islands, was

fortunate enough to be presented by the Nga-

puhi Chief, Te Tane Haratua, with the grand

War  Canoe " Omapere. "  She carries from

 80 to 100 fighting men. It will he remem-

 bered that this fast canoe competed against

 all comers at the Auckland Regatta some

 few years ago, beating the Hauraki  and

 Waikato War canoes hands down, thus win-

 ning the £100. Mr Davis hopes to have his

 prize here in time to compete at the forth-

 coming Whanganui Regatta, and we sincerely

 trust his hopes will be realised, as a canoe

 of the " Omapere's " size will be a treat worth

 seeing, properly manned.

    The marriage of Miss Watt, eldest daugh-

  ter of Mr John Watt, of the Camp, Guyton

  Street, to Mr Ben Edwards, the popular as-

  sessor of the Native Land Court, Wanganui,

  was celebrated on Boxing  Day, at the resi-

  dence of the bride's parents. The Rev. Mr

  Ryburn officiated. The bride was given away

  by her father, and wore a handsome dress of

  white figured lustre tiimmed with old lace.

  Mr  T. C. Jones, Clerk of the Native Land

  Court, acted as best (worst) man. The rela-

  tives and friends present were subsequently

  entertained at the wedding breakfast by the

   parents of the bride, after which the bridal

   party left (amid showers of rice and old slip

   pers) by the midday train for the Wairarapa

   district. We wish them joy.
