PANUI MO TE WATI.
Ki te mea ka rokohanga te tangata i te whenua mamao noa !
atu. a ka taapu taua Wati. He mea ako atu tenei kia mohio
ai taua tangata ki te whakahaere ano i tana Wati kia tika ai.
Me titiro te tangata ki te wa e puta mai ai te ra, a e too ai te
ra. kei reira te wa tika mo te taima mo te Wati :—
HE PANUI KI NGA TANGATA KATOA, E TUKUA
ATU ANA TE WANANGA KIA RATOU.
Ma te tini e hoe te waka ka tere ai, ma te ahu whenua
ki te ngaki kai, ka ranea ai he o ma te kai tahu kai. a e
ora ai a tamaroto, whai hoki, ma te utu mai a nga kai
tango i TE WANANGA nei, ka hua ai he moni hei utu mo
te mahinga i tenei Nupepa mo te Maori. He mea atu
tenei ki nga tangata e tukua atu ana TE WANANGA nei kia
ratou, ara, ki te hunga ki ano i utu i a ratou utu tau mo
TE WANANGA-, kia tukua mai a ratou utu. kia kaha ai TE
WANANGA ki te ami rongo korero nao te iwi. He toetoe
ano te toetoe, he raupo ano te raupo, he kakaho ano te
kakaho, otiia ma te ringa tangata e raweke aua mea ka
kiia ai he whare. He korero ano te korero, he minamina
ano to te ngakau kia rongo i nga korero o nga mahi katoa
a te iwi, otiia ma te moni ka noho ai aua rongo korero ki
TE WANANGA. Koia matou i mea atu ai, kaua e whaka-
tikia TE WANANGA ki nga kai, ara, ki te utu tau mo taua
Nupepa nei, kia kaha tona ai ki tana mahi mo te iwi.

order . .
Against Sir Donald McLean, as a private indivi-
dual and a personal friend, we have nothing to say.
Ho has rendered this colony many signal services—
more than enough, we hope, to counterbalance those
actions of his which from time to time we have been
compelled to comment upon in the WANANGA. The
grave closes upon all private and personal feuds—
and we do not desire to speak one bitter or unfriendly

NGA RONGO KORERO.
TE IKA HAMANA. I
Kahore ano pea nga iwi Maori katoa o Heretaunga
nei i rongo noa ki te mahi aroha a etahi o nga ranga-
tira Pakeha o Ahuriri nei, i mahi ai mo te iwi katoa.
N» etahi o nga rangatira o Nepia nei, i tukua nga ika
Hamana ki nga awa wai-maori o Ahuriri nei, ki Nga-
ruroro, ki Tutaekuri, me etahi atu o nga awa e puta
ana o ratou kongutu awa ki Heretaunga nei. A kia
kitea e te Maori, te uta nui o tatia ika, me te nui
moni e puta ana ki nga iwi o etahi whenna mo aua
ika, koia nga kupu o tetahi Nupepa i taia ai ano e
matou. E mea ana tana Nupepa. " Nga ika Hamana"
« hiia ana i te awa o Karamia i Amerika i tenei tau
1876, i tae ona taimaha ki te wha-tekau miriona
pauna taimaha, (40,000,000.) He mea tote aua ika,
a he mea mahi etahi ki nga kena, a ahua hou tonu
ana ana ika kena e hokona nei hoki e te Maori i nga
Toa o nga Taone. A ko tana tu mahi i te Hamana ki
te kena, he kai e manaakitia ana e te ao katoa. A
ko nga kena o aua ika e tukua ana ki Ingarangi i te

ki Naitimo, e rua mano e wha rau, (2.400.) ki

ki Atareria, kotahi tekau-ma wha mano. (1-4.000.) ki

E mohio ana matou, tera e tuhituhi kupu whakapai
mai nga Maori ki taua mahi a aua rangatira Pakeha o
Ahuriri. A ka tiaki te Maori i aua ika, a kia tini,
kia kapi ana awa i ana ika, ka mahi ai te kai hii, kaua
e rahurahua i te mea e ouou ana aua ika, waiho kia
tini, ka mahi ai ta tatou kai rangatira. I
THE SALMON. I
Many of the Native tribes in the Poverty Bay district
have not heard that some European gentlemen, who. having
a wish to put a lasting blessing within the reach of all their
fellow settlers, have released many thousands of young fish
called salmon in the riven which flow into the Ahuriri Bay :
and to show the value of such fish, and. what other countries
obtain for them, we quote the following which appeared in
one of our contemporaries :—" The salmon product of
Columbia River, Oregon, including not only the fish shipped,
bat ato those consumed by the fishermen themselves. will
this year reach the immense total 40,000.000 pounds. The
salmon are either salted and packed in barrels or canned
fresh. Ia the latter form it is in great demand all over the
world, and hundreds of thousands of cases, containing each
four dozen, cans, which latter weigh a pound and a quarter
apiece, are annually put up. Of these England alone takea
165,000 ; New Zealand, 2.400 : South America. 1,500 ; Aus-
tralia, 14,000 ; New York and the Atlantic coast. 58,000.
The value of the canned salmon of the Columbia River is
£3,000,000 annualy." We do not say that the Maori people
must thank those gentlemen for this kind act, as we know
that we have only to tell the tribes of the fact, and they are
sure to write letters of thanks to these true friends\_ of the
public ; not only so. but the Maori people will abstain from
fishing for, or ia any wav killing or destroying these fish.
before the rivers iu which they are put are fully stocked by
these new occupants of Maori streams.
TE UTU MO NGA WHENUA A NGA MAORI,
I BIRO MO NGA RORI O TE REREWEI.
Ko nga korero i kiia kia mahia, mo nga utu ki nga
Maori mo te whenua i riro i te rerewei atu ano i
Nepia ki Waipukurau, i kiia i tera tau noa atu. kua
tae aua korero ki te tino mahia, a e kore pea o roa,
ka haere nga tangata ma ratou e ki nga utu, ki te
titiro haere i te rerewei, a ka mohiotia nga utu e utua
ai nga Maori o Heretanga nei. mo nga whenua i riro
i te rerewei. \_\_
RAILWAY COMPENSATION TO NATIVES.
The negotiations for payment of compensation to Na-
tive owners of land taken for the Napier and Waipu-
kurau line which were begun about eighteen months ago,
have at last been completed : and it is likely that iu the
course of a few days the valuators will start upon their
work.
NGA MINITA HOU O TE KAWANATANGA,
ME NGA MINITA TAWHITO, I TU Al
ETAHI I MUTU AI ETAHI O RATOU.
No te Taeti o te wiki nei a te Ritihana i mutu ai i

Otakou i tu i te tunga o te Ritihana. He hoa a Te
Rina i te Paremata kua mutu nei, no Kawana Kerei
[ma. otiia ko te tino mea nui ona i mohiotia ai e ana
Ihoa, he mahi hopohopo no te Rira ki nga mahi tika
[o ana hoa. Kohore kau ona pai ke ake, a kahore
[ona kino iho i tana hoa ia te Ritihana, koia matou i
Imea ai, kahore kau he tikanga e tu hou ai tetahi o
raua, a e mutu ai ano hoki to mahi Kawanatanga o
tetahi o ratia. Otiia, ki te mea ka titiro atu tatou kia
raua, ki te pai a taua mahi e puta ai Le koha kia
raua, ke Te Rira te tangata kua whiwhi i tana mau,
le nui ake ai aia i tana mahi.
I MINISTERIAL CHANGES.
I On Thursday last, Mr. Richardson resigned the office of
•Minister of Public works, and Mr. Donald Reid, of Otago,
took the vacant seat. Mr. Reid was a member of the
• Provincial party, but during the last session he waa
chiefly remarkable for the support which he did not give
• his party. However, he is quite as good a man as his
I predecessor, so that the colony loses nothing by the
change. Looking at it from a personal point of view,
• we consider that the whole affair serves Mr. Donald Reid
right.

CAPTAIN MORRIS
PIRE WHAKATU KAI-RIWHI TANGATA MAORI.
KUA MATE.
Te Witika, i tona kawenga mai i tenei Pire, i mea ki te
wharo i tera atu ra. kia korerotia te Pire mo te taima tua-
rua, me tona mahara ki te korerotia taua Pire, me tu iho
ki raro to Tumuaki kia whai Komiti ai te whare mo taua
Pire. Na. e mea ana ia inaianei ki te whakapuaki i etahi
kupu whakamarama i te take o tau* Pire, i te take hoki i
kawea mai ai. Kanui te raruraru kua tupu mo nga whe-
nua e puritia ana e to Maori, no te mea ko nga whakatau-
nga katoa o nga kai-riwhi a te Kooti Whakawa Whenua
Maori e pa anake ana ki nga whenua kua oti te whakawa.
Engari, he-maha nga take ke atu o te Maori ki nga whe-
nua. Na. ko tetahi take o tenei Pire he mea kia eke te
whakatau ki. runga o nga whenna katoa a te Maori, aha-
koa kua o te whakawa e te Kooti Whakawa Whenua
Maori, kaore ano ranei, ko tenei take he mea pai. a ko nga
Mema Maori o to whare e tino hiahia ana kia oti tenei
Pire, kia taea ai he mana tika mo nga tangata e tika ana.
rua whiwhi i te whenua o te tangata mate. Ko tetahi wahi
o te Pire e whai mana ana ki te whakarite kai-riwhi mo
nga taonga, moni, aha ranei o te tangata. Ko nga tika-
nga inaianei e whai inana anake ana mo nga whenua kua.
oti te whakawa e Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori, a
kahore ki nga taonga, me nga moni a te tangata ake. No
konei ka mate ana he tangata Maori e whiwhi ana i ta
taonga, i te moni, kanui te raruraru e tupu mai ana, me
riro i a wai ra aua taonga, me aua moni, ko te take o
tenei Pire i kawea mai ai, na tetahi mea i Hauraki, ko
Rapana he rangatira i mate i mua ake nei, whakarerea iho
ana e ia e .£7.000 ki roto o te Peeke o Nui Tireni,
mahue iho i a in ko tana pouaru, me ana tamariki e rua.
Ko te pouaru i tono i runga o nga tikanga o naianei ki
etahi reta, whakahaere, engari, kihai i whakaaetia e te
Hupirimi Kooti i Akarana, te take, kaore i taea e ia te
whakaatu tana marena i raro o nga Ture whakahaere o
tatou whakapakeha. Ko tenei e kati mai na nga moni i
roto o te Peeke o Nui Tireni, a kaore e taea atu te nanao
e te tangata. Na, kia taea ai tenei raruraru, ma tenei
Pire ka kitea e te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori i runga
i te tikanga Maori, kowai te tangata mana aua moni, ka
whakataua e te Kooti, a ma taua whakatau ka hoatu ho
reta whakaatu. Ma tenei Pire ka rite tahi te tu o te Maori
me te Pakeha, mo nga mea o te tangata mate, ana oti te
whakatau a te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. Na, e mea
ana ia, me tu iho te Tumuaki ki raro, kia whai Komiti ai
te whare mo tenei Pire.
Ko Te Hiana, i men. kua ata tirohia e ia te Pire nei, a
ka tautokona e in. He maha nga takiwa kua kite i te
raru, i te kore Ture penei me tenei. He mahara nana kia
whakaotia ki ta te Ture tikanga, ko nga rawa moni e neke
ake ana i te £50, i te £1100 ranei, me riro ki roto o nga.
whakahaerenga o tenei Ture.
Ko Te Hapa i mea, kaore ia e whakahe ki te Pire,
engari, ko tana hiahia kia mohio ia, ka peheatia nga
hawhe-kaihe e taua Pire.
Ko Taiaroa i mea, me whakaae te whare ki tenei Pire.
I te timataranga o te huihui o te Paremata nei i mea atu ano
ia ki te Kawanatanga kia homai he Pire penei me tenei
Te take he maha, noa atu nga tangata e whiwhi ana i te
I whenua kua oti te Karauna Karaati, a kei to ratou mate-
nga ka waiho iho hei take raruraru mo o muri i te tangata
nona te whenua. Ku te ahua o te Ture inaianei, kaore i te
i mohiotia, nowai nga whenua e pera ana, engari, mehemea ki
i te oti tenei Pire, kaore he raruraru a muri atu. Mo te kupu
a te Mema mo Nerehana Taone, kua kite ano hoki ia,
kaore he kupu whakarite tikanga mo nga hawhe-kaihe,
ka tautokona oia te Pire.
Ko Hoani Nahe i mea, ki tana whakaaro ko tetahi tenei
I o nga Pire pai mo nga whenua, me nga rawa o te Maori,
i engari ki tana mohio ka taea to hanga he tikanga i roto o
| tenei Pire, pera me nga tikanga kua oti i roto o etahi atu
Ture kia rite tahi ai ratou ki te Maori.
i Whakaaetia ana te motini, whakaarohia ana he Pire e
te Komiti, kaore i whakarereketia, a korerotia ana mo te
taima tua-toru.
INTESTATE NATIVES SUCCESSION BILL.
Mr. WHITAKER. in moving the committal of this Bill,
said he asked the house the other day to read the Bill a
I second time on the understanding that any discussion
upon it should take place on the motion that the Speaker
should leave the chair in order that the House might go
into Committee on the Bill. He now wished to say a few-
words in explanation of the principle of the Bill, and the
reason for its being brought forward. Considerable
difficulty had arisen in reference to lands held by the
Natives, for the reason that the orders of succession made
by the Native Land Court only applied to land which had
passed through that Court. But Natives were in posses-
sion of land under various other titles : and one object
|

TE WANANGA.
of the Bill therefore was to make the order of succession
apply to all Native lands, whether they had passed
through the Native Land Court or not. That object was
a good one, and the Native members in the House were
very desirous that the Bill should be passed for the pur-
pose of enabling persons who ought to succeed to lands
acquire a good title to them. Another part of the Bill
extended the power of granting succession orders in re-
gard to personal estate. The power, to grant orders at
present referred only to lands that had passed the Native
Land Court, and did not apply to personal property at all.
The consequence was, that, when Natives died possessed
of considerable personal property, a good deal of diffi-
culty arose as to who should succeed to it. The Bill had
been brought forward on the present occasion in conse-
quence of a circumstance which occurred at the Thames.
Rapana, a chief of considerable importance, died some
time ago, leaving a sum of £7,000 deposited in the Bank
of New Zealand. He left a widow and two children.
The widow applied in ordinary course for letters of ad-
ministration : but the Judge of the Supreme Court in
Auckland would not grant them because she was unable
to prove that she bad been married according to the laws
regulating marriages among ourselves. The consequence
was. the money was at present locked up in the Bank of
New Zealand, and nobody was able to make use of it.
In order to get over that difficulty, the Native Land
Court was enabled by this Bill to ascertain who, accord-
ing to Maori custom, would be entitled to the money, and
the Court would make an order, and upon that order
letters of admistration would be granted. By this Bill,
Natives would be placed on the same footing: as Euro-
peans in regard to intestate estates after the order granted
by Native Land Court. He moved That Mr. Speaker
leave the chair in order that the House might go into
Committee on this Bill:
Mr SHEEHAN said he bad gone carefully through the
Bill, which he would support. Many districts had for
many years felt the want of such an Act as this. He
thought that it should be made law that every estate over
£50 or £100 should come under the provisions of this
Act.
Mr. SHARP did not intend to make any objection at all
to the Bill, but he would like to know how far it related
to half-castes. He would like to know how they were to
be affected by the Bill.
Mr. TAIAROA hoped the House would agree to this Bill.
At the beginning: of the session he had suggested to the
Government the desirability of introducing such a Rill,
as there were a great many people who hold lands under
Crown grant, and when they died those lands were the
subject of dispute amongst the descendants of the owner.
As the law at present stood, nobody knew to whom such
land belonged : but he was sure that if this Bill were
passed there would be no trouble. With regard to what
had been said by the honorable member for Nelson City.
ke could only say that he himself had noticed that there
was no provision made for half-castes. He would support
the Bill.
Mr. NAHE thought this was one of the best Bills which
had yet been introduced relating to Native property, but
at the same time he believed that the half-castes could,
as provided for in other Acts, come under the provisions
of this Bill the same as Maoris.
Motion agreed to. Bill considered in Committee, re-
ported without amendment, and read a third time.

in this world be done truly, and only by correct and true
work can true worship be continued. If there is not true !
worship how can the acts of man be true or correct ? I
say I am strong: in the work of this world. And this
world is the field where the work of man is tested.
Te Ropiha rose and said : O, children speak, speak. Be
strong to talk about religion ; about that which was the
power of those who have gone to the land of spirits, and
which they left as a gift to you. Do not let anyone say
my words are not true. I shall not take any heed of their
condemnation of my words.
Paora Te Ara rose and said : The words spoken are very
good words, and it is good that all should speak to the
one subject—that is, religion. Do not let any foolish man
say that religion is the sole property of value, of, and
belongs only to the European. True, but I, in accordance
with my thoughts, say this valuable property belongs to
us all, and if we give this valuable property to be the ex-
clusive property to others, it will be theirs alone : but if
we accept religion, it will be our property also. There is
only one day, and not another wherein the European and i
the Maori will be judged (Day of Judgment). And all
the human beings of all parts of the world will be there.
Not one will escape from that day. That is the one and
only day.
The above is the report of the meeting at Porangahau,
and the following are the names of the chiefs who made |
known the word that all the tribes of Aoteora (North
Island of New Zealand) should return to and worship the
true and only living God.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu ki te Whare :—
Mo runga i te tikanga kia noho he Maori ki roto i nga
Runanga tekaumarua (Huuri) e whakaaro ana te Komiti kei
" Te Ture mo nga Huuri, 1868 " tetahi mana mo te ahua o
taua mea inaianei. Ko taua tikanga kahore ano i whakaotia
tutaratia a kahore e taea te whakaoti engari ma te Kawana I
runga i te mana kua hoata ki a ia e taua ture e hanga i etahi
tikanga whakahaere. E mea ana te Komiti he mea tika kia
whakahaeretia te mana e tau ana ki te Kawana i runga i
taua Ture kia ahei ai te whakauru i nga Maori ki nga Runa-
nga tekaumarua (Huuri) mo nga ahua whakawa e whakahu-

Mo runga i te pouri a te kai-inoi mo te kore whakaae a
tetahi tangata Maori ki te wehewehenga a Meiha Whiwhi

kia puta, noa te Karauna karaati ki te Kai-inoi me etahi ata
Maori mo etahi whenua e tata ana ki te tunga o te whare-

o te whawhai ki Waikato e mea ana te Komiti Kua kimihia
o ratou kahore e whakaarohia ana kia utua he moni mo taua

TE PAREMATA
WHARE PAREMATA.
TUREI. OKETOPA 17, 1876.
Ka whakatika a Te Hiana ka moa. He korero ano aku
mo te tikanga e korerotia nei o Te Paremata nei. He
nui taku whakapai atu ki nga korero a Te Hohikina. E
mea ana ahau he korero marama rawa ana korero e ki
nei. G kore pea e pai kia kiia he inana e te Paremata nei
hei whakakahore i nga Kawanatanga Porowini. E mea
ana ahau, he pai, kia pera, to pai o taku tataku i te korero
me tana te marama. Ma nga kupu o Te Ture ka marama
ai nga mahi o te whakakahore i nga Porowini. E kiia
ana hoki, ki te mea ka kiia te kupu whakakahore i te
Porowini kotahi, e mana ano ranei taua kupu hei wha-
kakahore i nga Porowini katoa ? He nui noa atu nga
whakahaerenga o taua patai nei. e tenei Paremata. Ina
hoki i te tau 1874, i korerotia ano taua patai, a i korero- !
tia ano hoki ki te Whare Ariki. He korero i takea te ki.
mo nga whare Paparakauhe i tawahi i Kotirana. I mea
hoki te Ture o Tawahi, he mea tika ma nga kai whakawa, i
ma nga Kaunihera, me nga Apiha o nga Kaunihera Pooti
e mea kia koro he whare Paparakauhe, ka kore ai aua i
tu whare- A i pera pu ano hoki te ahua o nga kupu o i
ta tatou Ture e whakahaua nei. kia mahia ki nga Kawa-
natanga Porowini. A i mea aua Pakeha o Tawahi, kia
kore rawa atu he Paparakauhe i etahi o nga takiwa o
Tawahi. I mea hoki aua Pakeha, he mana ta ratou e
mutu ai etahi Whare Paparakauhe, a ma mo taua mana
e tika ai te mea kia kore katoa ano hoki nga whare Papa-
rakauta katoa. A he mea whakawa taua whakawa mo
taua patai.e nga Kooti nui, a tae aua ki te tino Kooti o
nga Ariki o Ingarangi. A kiia ana e te whakawa, ki te
mea ka kiia kia mutu etahi o nga whare Paparakauhe. e
hara taua mana i te mana e mutu ai nga whare Papara-
kauhe katoa. Na reira i kiia ai te ki e kore ano hoki e
tika kia kiia me mutu nga Porowini katoa, i te kupu e
kiia nei ko etahi kia mutu. E kore e kiia, e pera ana te
tikanga o Te Ture, a e kore ano hoki te Meina mo Timaru
e mea, he mea mahi eia taua Ture kia pera ai ona tikanga,
i te mea hoki, e mea ana tetahi o nga korero o taua
pukapuka o taua Ture, he mea mahi taua Ture mo tetahi
o nga Porowini a Te Waipounamu. A e hara taua Ture
i te mea, kia mana te mahi a Te Paremata nei ki te wha-
kakahore i eg-a Porowiri katoa, i te mea hoki, e tu a rite
aua te mana e mahi ai nga Kawanatanga e rua. o nga
Motu nei. A e kore hoki e kiia, na te Paremata nei i tu
ai nga Porowini, no to mea hoki, he kotahi ano Ture nana
i tu ai aua Kawanatanga e rua. a o kore e tika ma tenei
Paremata e mea kia mutu te mahi o nga Porowini. A e
he te mangere o te mahi kihai nei i rapua kia tini
marama te tikanga o taua Ture. E tika ana kia kiia me
utu nga Porowini o Otakou o Akarana i nga moni u kiia
nei, kia kore ai he tino whakahe a aua Porowini, i te mea
hoki e utu anu a Otakou i aua moni, a ki te mea e kore e
taea o Akarana ana moni £2000. penei e kore ano e tika
kia nama moni ano a Akarana. He nui noa atu te he o
Te Kawanatanga, i nga tau e toru nei, kihai nei i rapu
rapua te tikanga o te kupu o tautohea nei. No te mea
hoki no te tau 1674 mai ra ano i ki ai etahi o nga Mema
o Te Paremata nei. kahore kau he mana o tenei Paremata
hei whakamutu i nga Kawanatanga Porowini. He mea
hoki he tino tangata aua tangata na ratou nei aua kupu, s
kua tu aua tangata hei Tiati ki to Kooti Hupirimi. E
mea ana ahau, a he ana te mahi a Te Kawanatanga, kiha:
nei i rapaa taua kupu kia marama, a kia marama, te ui €
uia nei, e tika ano ranei kia whakamutua e Te Paremate
nei nga Kawanatanga Porowini? A no te tau 1874 tae
noa kia te tau 1875. i noho noa iho ai Te Kawanatanga
kihai i rapu rapu kia mohiotia taua tikanga e kiia nei.
ko te tangata nana nei i mahi te Ture mo nga Porowini
kia kahore, i haere ki Ingarangi a kihai aia i tae mai ki
te Paremata o te tau 1875. A i whai takiwa ano te Ka-
wanatanga ki te mahi uiui i taua tikanga kia marama.
ara mo nga Porowini, e kiia nei e kore e tika kia whaka-
kahoretia. A mei mahia e Te Kawanatanga o Nui Tirani
nei ki a Te Pokera, i aia i Ingarangi, penei kua mahia
taua patai e Te Paremata o Ingarangi, a kua tino marama
pu taua tikanga, a e kore ano hoki e tika te ki a Te Ka-
wanatanga, mei mahia kia Te Pokera, i aia e noho ana i
Ingarangi, penei me mahi korero ki te waea, e kore hoki
taua kupu e tika, no te mea he nui noa atu nga marama i
mohiotia ai taua ui ui mo taua tikanga. A mei uia taua
kupu, ma te ahua patai e rite ai te utu mai ai a te Roia a
Te Kuini, a e kore e rere ke i ta te Rawakatanga e pai
ai. Otiia e hara tenei Kawanatanga i te Paremata o aua
ra. He kotahi nei te Apiha o taua Kawanatanga kei
tenei Kawanatanga. E hara te Kawanatanga i te mea
mau roa, i te mea hoki, ka ahua tuku nga pewa o te mata
o nga Mema o te Paremata nei ki Te Kawanatanga, ka
oma etahi o taua Kawanatanga, a ka tu mai he Apiha ke
i o ratou tunga. A e mea ana te Kawanatanga o enei ra,
e kore e mahia e ratou nga mahi me nga tikanga o o
mua Kawanatanga. Otiia, ki ta te titiro e kite atu ana
e rite pu ana te Kawanatanga o enei ra ki te Kawanata-
nga u te tau 1874. A ki te mea ka pai nga tikanga o te
mahi whakakahore i nga Porowini, penei ka mea te
! Kawanatanga o enei ra, na ratou i mahi i pai ai. Whai
• hoki ki te mea ka he nga mahi G taua whakakahore i nga
Porowini, me tau ano te he ki tenei Kawanatanga. Koia
ahau i mea ai. ko te Kawanatanga o eru ra, e tina
tau ana kia ratou nga tikanga o te Kawanatanga o te tau
1874 a e hare te Kwanatanga nei i te Kawanatanga han.
A mei mahia paitia te ui ui mo te kupu nei. E
tika ano ranei kia mahi whakakahore te Paremata nei i
nga Porowini, mei uia taua patai ki nga tino Roia o
i Ingarangi, penei kua marama te whakakahore o nga
I korero mo taua tikanga, e tautohetohetia nei. A penei,
kua tono ano hoki te Kawanatanga o Nui Tireni, kia
mahia tetahi Ture e Te Paremata o Ingarangi kia mutu
nga Porowini. I mea hoki etahi o nga Mema o Te Pare-
mata nei. e kore e mana te mahi a tenei Paremata, kia
mutu ia ratou nga Porowini. A i mea hoki etahi o nga
Roia mohio nui o enei Motu, e he ana kia kiia e tenei
Paremata kia mutu nga Porowini. A i pera ano hoki
te kupu o te tino Tiati Tumuaki o Te Kooti Hupirimi o nga
Motu nei. A i mea taua Tiati, engari me mahi tetahi
Ture e Te Paremata o Ingarangi kia mutu nga Porowini.
ka tika ai te matu o aua Porowini. E mea ana ahau, i
peheatia, i tae ai, a i kiia ai nga hoa ako ako mo Te
Kawana, e ako he ai i aia, kia mahia hetia eia nga tikanga
u te Ture i tu ai te mahi Kawanatanga ki enei Motu.
A he aha ra, aua tu ako ia Te Kawana, i kore ai e rapu
, rapu i nga tino tikanga o aua mea, kia kiia ai ratou he
i hunga mohio, a kia puta ai ano hoki he pai ki nga Motu
i nei. A tetahi take ano hoki hei titiro ma tatou, ko te
i kupu nei, e hara i te iwi na ratou i mea kia whakakahore-
tia nga Porowini. A i nga ra i kiia ai nga mahi nui mo
I te iwi, me nga mahi utu uta Pakeha mai ki nga Motu-
tenei, i mea ahau i aua ra, e kore e roa ka kiia nga Poro
wini kia mutu. E kore hoki e taea te huna e ahau aua
tupato oku o aua ra, i mea hoki ahau ma aua mahi e he
ai nga Porowini, a e tu ai te tahi mahi hou hei mahi i
nga mea e mahia, ana e aua Porowini. No te tau 1870 i
kiia ai nga tikanga a Te Kawanatanga, a kihai ano i
tupu nga pihi o nga purapura i ruaia. Ka mea taua
Kawanatanga kia hauhakea te maara, he mea hoki na
ratou, kia whakakahoretia nga mana mahi a nga Porowini
koia ra te hauhakea o ana whakaaro, a he mea na ratou
kei poka he mahi a nga Porowini ki a ratou tikanga,
" , otiia kihai i mana taua whakaaro a ratou. A no nga tau
1872. 1873. 1874, i tino mahi he rawa ai Te Kawanata-
nga i nga mahi i mahia mo ratou ake. A he mea arahi
matopo te Paremata nei e te tangata kotahi. He kupu
5 ano na taua tangata, me tu tonu nga Porowini. A ko

pei ratou e tautoko, e kaha ataua Porowini te mahi tonu
i a ratou mahi. A taro tata ano i aua kupu, ka kiia ano ! i
e tana tangata me mutu nga Porowini i te mea i i
kua turoro nga Porowini a e whakahemohemo
hemo ana 1d te mate rawa aua Porowini. A i kiia me
. tangi, me mihi aua Porowini ka nehu ai ki to urupa.
mea hoki te kupu, na te mahi nama a ana Porowini, i
raru ai nga mahi nui a te tino Kawanatanga. I kiia
hoki, na aua Porowini i he ai nga mahi uta uta
Pakeha mai a te tino Kawanatanga. A ko an ko To
Hiana i korero ki te Paremata nei. ko te mahi a nga
Porowini o Otakou, o Poneke, o Katapere o Akarana. nga
Porowini tino mahi tika ki to uta Pakeha mai i Tawahi.
A no te mea i nama moni ana Porowini hei utu mo taua
mahi a ratou, i mea te korero, koi te whiri whakaheke
aua Porowini hei tarona ia ratou ano. a ko le mahi tika
mo ana Porowini, me whakakahore aua Porowini kia kore.
A kihai i ata whakaaetia taua kupu o nga hoa o Te Ka-
wanatanga, ka kiia mai he kupu ke ano. A no muri ko
nga Pira tini tini a Te Kawanatanga, i whakahe ai mo
nga moni kia nama e nga Porowini, ki a kaha ai te mahi
o nga mea nui mo te iwi. A no te henga o aua Pira
tino riri ai a Te Pokera otiia i koa ahau a i
rawa a Te Pokera mo aua Pira, i te mea hoki
ngia aua Pira e te Paramata Ariki. A i
mahi he Ture kia kore ai e whakahihi taua Paremata
Ariki, a kia tino paingia ai e to iwi. kia kore ai ano hoki
e he i taua Paremata nga mahi tenei Paremata. A i te
tau i muri iho, i kiia mai ai e Te Kawanatanga he tika-
nga ke ano.

give them decent interment. At one moment we were \\
told that the cardinal curse to the colony was giving I
powers to the provinces to borrow, because they inter- !
fered with the policy of immigration and public works,
although at the very time I contend that in the Provinces i
Of Otago, Wellington, Canterbury, and Auckland immi-
gration and public works bad been better conceived and i
were being carried out better, more economically, and
with more satisfactory results than the same policy as
carried out by the colony. Because they borrowed money
for this purpose we were told that they had woven a rope
to hang themselves, that they were working for their own
destruction, and that they should be put to death. That
doctrine was hardly swallowed by the Government sup-
porters in this House before we had an exactly opposite
doctrine propounded to us. We then had that set of
Bills which were by some called the " neglected and
criminal children," by others the " little pigs," and by
others the " seven deadly sins," on account of their num-
ber, by which various provinces were allowed to borrow
in order that they might aid in carrying out the colonial
policy of immigration and public works. I remember
well that when those Bills met that fate which, I believe, |
the principal measure of this session is now meeting in
the other branch of the Legislature. I was one of those
who rejoiced. But the honorable gentleman who intro-
duced those measures indulged in most violent language i
against that branch of the Legislature which had thrown
them out, and threatened to bring in some measure to re-
form its constitution, to make it more popular, and to I
prevent any attempt ia the future to set at naught any
deliberate intention of this House. We had next year an
entirely opposite policy.

NOTICE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.]
Print the following few words in the WANANGA :—
THIS is to give notice to all Europeans and Maoris residing
in the Wairarapa District, that if any person, European
or Maori, is found digging a trench at the Mouth of the Wai-
rarapa River, at the time when the Mouth of that River has
been closed up, any person so acting will be summoned to the
Resident Magistrate's Court, for £100 damages. Any person,
European or Maori, who may see such act done by anyone to
the dam at the Wairararapa, on giving information which.
will lead to the conviction of the offender. will be paid the
sum of £10.
Friends, the Europeans who say your Iand is flooded by the
3am being put up at the Mouth, of the Wairarapa River, be it
known, to you. that those lauds which are covered by the
water, driven back by the erection of the dam, have not been
sold by the Maori to you. or to the Government. You are
mistaken when you claim those lands : they still belong to
the New Zealander. Let me teach you : From the cud of Te
Awapuni, and inland, that land was truly sold by the Maori
to the Government, but from the water line, and out into the
lake, all such belong to the Maori, the land and the water.
And you have done wrong in buying: it from, the Government,
that is. if you have bought these lands from the Government.
