HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
——————»——————
Ko TUTA NIHONIHO, o Whareponga, Tai Rawhiti, e riri
rawa ana ki te Kawanatanga mo te korenga e rite i a ratou ta
ratou korero ki a ia i Werengitana i a Hurae kua taha ake nei,
ara ta ratou whakaaetanga kia nuitia tetahi wahi whenua e
whakahuatia ana ko Maungawaru. E ki ana ia i riro mai ki a
ratou ko tona hapu e £400 i mua ai hei taunaha ki runga ki
taua wahi, a i haere ratou ko ona hoa ki Werengitana i a Hurae
nei ki te whakaoti i nga tikanga e riro rawa ai taua whenua i te
Kawanatanga. Oti ana ta ratou korero ko te Minita Maori,
rite ana te korero utu mo te ruritanga, katahi ka ki mai taua
Minita mana e whakahau ki a Heiki, Pakeha, kia haere tonu ki
te ruri i taua whenua. No te taenga mai ki te kainga ta taki-
ritia e Tuta Nihoniho nga tangata hei tapahi i nga raina, hei
whakaatu hoki i nga rohe ki te kai-ruri, whakaritea katoatia
ana hoki e ia nga tikanga e hohoro ai te oti taua mahi. Katahi
ka haere mai a Tuta Nihoniho ti Turanga nei ki te patu waea ki
a te Hihana kia tonoa te Pakeha kia haere ki te ruri i te
whenua. Heoi, patu noa patu noa ia i nga waea, tuhi noa i
nga reta, taore rawa i utua mai e te Hihana. Na, ka hoha a
Tuta ka hoki pongere ki tona kainga—e 90 maero te pama-
mao atu. I rongo ia i muri nei kua whakarongo taua Minita
ki nga tono teka, nga korero ranei, a etahi tangata, ko nga
korero a nga tangata tika ki te whenua i katia e ia kia kore e
puta. Inaianei e ki ana ratou e kore e tukuna taua whenua
Ma ruritia, a e mea ana kia tupato nga kai-ruri me nga Maori
ki te haere ki taua whenua ruri ai, kei panaia ratou. He nui
te riri o Tuta Nihoniho. E ki ana a ia, ki te mea ka puta he
raruraru i runga i taua mea, akuanei na te Minita Maori tena
he, no te mea kihai rawa ia i whakaaro ki ana korero i korero
ai ki a ratou. Heoi, e mea ana matou me tuhi ano he reta e
Tuta ki taua Minita, ki a te Karaka ranei. I ngaro atu pea
taua Minita ki etahi wahi i te wa i patu atu ai nga waea i
Turanga nei. Kaua e kaika; me ata whakaatu ki a te Karaka
nga korero katoa o taua mea, penei me to whakaaturanga mai
ki a matou nei, a tera e utua mai e ia.
TAMATI POKIHA, o Aku Aku. —E mea ana matou ki te ta
atu i to reta i tera putanga o te WAKA.
HOTENE POROURANGI Waiapu. —No enei rangi tonu i tae
mai ai to reta. I hoatu ki te whare o tetahi Pakeha hokohoko
i Turanga nei takoto ai, a warewaretia ana e ia. Kau i kore e
homai ki te meera.
E hiahia ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika he
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.

TENA te korero kei te Wananga o to 23 o Nowema
kua taha ake nei, he pera tonu te tu o taua korero
me nga korero katoa o taua nupepa, he whakapo-

pae-teka ki a te Omana, ki a Kapene Rata, ki a
Tatana. Te whakapae ki aua tangata e mea ana he
mahi tango tahae ta ratou i te mana Pooti a nga
Maori kia kore. He kowhetewhete taua korero
katoa ki aua Pakeha; i whiriwhiria mai ratou i roto
i te tokomaha e taua nupepa, kiia ana he tino hoa
riri ngakau kino ratou ki nga Maori—te take, mo to

NOTICES AND ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
——————*—————-
TUTA NIHONIHO, of Whareponga, East Coast, is exceedingly
angry with the Government for not carrying out their ar-
rangements made with him in Wellington last July respecting
the survey of a block of land called Maungawaru. He says
that he and his people received £400 on account of this block
a long timo ago, and that last July he and a number of his
hapu went to Wellington for the purpose of completing ar-
rangements for the cession of the block to the Government.
They interviewed the Native Minister, who fixed the price to
be paid for the survey, and promised to instruct Mr. Haig
to proceed with it at once. Accordingly, when they returned
home, Tuta Nihoniho appointed a number of men to cut the lines
and point out the boundaries to the surveyor, and also made
other arrangements to facilitate the survey. Everything being
ready Tuta Nihoniho came to Gisborne and telegraphed to Mr.
Sheehan to send instructions to Mr. Haig to proceed with the
work. He sent telegram after telegram and wrote letters, but
no notice whatever was taken of them by Mr. Sheehan, no
answer was vouchsafed. Tired of waiting, he returned dis-
gusted to his home—a distance of 90 miles. He has heard
that the Native Minister has been listening to the false claims,
or statements, of other men while he has disregarded them,
the rightful owners. They now say they will not allow the
land to be surveyed at all, and warn all surveyors and other
Natives not to go upon the land for that purpose or they
will be turned off. Tuta Nihoniho appears to be
very indignant about the matter. He says if any serious
difficulty should arise in connection with this matter, the
Native Minister must bear the blame, because he has been
utterly regardless of the promises which he made to them.
We advise Tuta Nihoniho to write to the. Native Minister
again, or to the Under Secretary, Mr. Clarke. Probably the
Native Minister was not in Wellington when the telegrams
were sent from Gisborne. Do not be too hasty; state the
whole matter to Mr. Under Secretary Clarke in writing, as
you have stated it to us, and doubtless you will get an answer
from that gentleman.
THOMAS Fox, of Aku Atu. —We shall endeavour to pub-
lish your letter in our next issue.
HOTENE POROURANGI, Waiapu. —We only received your
letter a few days ago. It was handed to a storekeeper in Gis-
borne, and appears to have been forgotten by him. You
should have sent it by the mail.
Responsible agents are required for the sale of the Waka in
Native districts. Address applications, stating terms, to the
Editor at Gisborne.

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1878.
THE MAORI FRANCHISE.
THE Wananga of the 23rd of November last has a
leading article in which, as usual, it labors to mis-
lead the Natives, and maliciously slanders Mr.
Ormond, Captain Russell, and Mr. Sutton. These
three gentlemen are falsely charged with fraudu-
lently attempting to take away the Maori Franchise.
The entire article is directed against them, and they
are singled out as the bitter enemies of the Maories
because, in common with many ethers, as our
readers will see by our reports of speeches in Par-
liament, they opposed that part of the Electoral
Bill dealing with the Maori franchise. The animus
is too apparent. Our Native readers will not fail to
see the malice which actuates the writer of the
article in question under the transparent cloak of a

176 TE WAKA MAOEI O NIU TIRANI.
matou. E takoto noa ana te tikanga o taua korero.
E kore e ngaro i o matou hoa Maori te ngakau
mauahara i roto i taua korero, e mea nei kia hewa
nga Maori he aroha ki a ratou. He mea takoto noa
te whakakite i te whakaaro-kore ki nga Maori o
enei tangata e tuhituhi nei i aua tu korero ki te
Wananga—hei aha ma ratou te mate te ora ranei o
nga Maori. Engari ta ratou e whakaaro ana, kia
whiwhi rawa ratou i nga Maori—ko o ratou tinana
ake ano ta ratou o whakaaro ana, a e mahi ana kia
puta a ratou tikanga ake ano hei tika mo ratou.
Otira, kaore he tikanga e korero ai matou ki tena
taha, no te mea kua nui haere te mohio o nga Maori
. inaianei ki te ahua o aua tu tangata—nga Maori o
Haake Pei rawa ano. E kitea ana e te katoa kua
iti haere te mana o ana tangata i roto i te iwi Maori
inaianei, me te nui haere hoki o to ratou puku riri,
mauahara, ngakau kino. Ko te tangata nana nei i
tuhituhi i taua korero i te Wananga e ki nei matou,
e mea ana ko Omana, ko Rata, ko Tatana, anake
ano nga tangata o te motu e whakahe ana ki nga
Maori kia kaua ratou e pooti i nga pootitanga mema;
otira kaore rawa atu he whakaaro pera i aua ta-
ngata, i etahi tangata katoa atu hoki; i pai katoa
kia rite tonu nga Maori ki te iwi Pakeha ki runga ki
taua tikanga, kaua e neke ake kaua e hoki iho,
engari kia kotahi ano tikanga mo nga iwi e rua. Te
mea i whakahetia e nga mema o te Paremete, e te
iwi Pakeha katoa hoki o te motu, ko te ahua o te
tikanga pooti Maori i whakaurua ki roto ki te Pire
. Pootitanga.
E mea ana matou kia tino marama nga Maori ki
taua mea, no konei ka taia atu e matou enei korero
kei raro iho, nei, he mea tango mai i roto i te Timaru
Herara; he nupepa ia kaore rawa e piri ana ki
tetahi taha ki tetahi taha, no te mea kaore rawa nga
tangata na ratou nei taua nupepa i pa, i uru ranei
ki nga tikanga tautohetohe nana nei i whakararua te
marietanga o Haake Pei i enei tau kua hori ake nei
—ara, i te wa kua noho nei ki reira nga tangata
whakahau ki te mahi whakorekore i te hokonga o
nga whenua i hokona e o reira tangata. Koia tenei
nga korero ra o taua nupepa, ara:—
" I nui nga korero a te Kawanatanga kia mahia e
ratou he tikanga e tika ai e pai ai te tikanga mahi
pooti i te koroni; na, te mea e tino mohiotia ai te
parau o taua korero, me whakaaro tatou kihai i mea
te Kaunihera kia whakaurua he tikanga hou ki te
Pire Pootitanga; heoi ta te Kaunihera i mahi ai i taua
Pire, ara i whakahokia ki tona ahua tuatahi i mahia
ai e te Kawanatanga—ara, te tekiona mo te mahi
pooti a nga Maori. E tino he rawa ana te whakapae
e mea nei he tohe ta te Kaunihera ki te muru i nga
tika mo te iwi Maori. Kaore rawa ratou i pera. I
horoia atu e ratou tetahi tikanga i whakaurua ki
taua Pire e etahi mema o te Whare—taua tikanga i
whakaurua ra he mea weriweri rawa, he mea takahi
rawa i te mana o nga Pakeha katoa o Aotearoa—a
whakaurua ano e te Kaunihera ki taua Pire
te tikanga i mahia tuatahitia e nga Miniti
ano ki roto ki taua Pire, heoi ta te Kaunihera
regard for the welfare of the Natives.. It would be
no very difficult matter to show that the men who
pen these articles for the Wananga care not one
iota whether the Maories live or die, except in BO
far as they can make some profit out of them—they
are entirely selfish, and are merely working to serve
their own purposes. Fortunately however it is un-
necessary for us to enter upon that question, as. the
Maories, the Hawke's Bay Maories especially, are
themselves rapidly becoming aware of the fact. It
is manifest to all that the influence of these men
with, the Native people is fast diminishing, and that
they are becoming proportionately vicious and spite-,
ful. The writer of the article to which, we more es-
pecially allude singles out Messrs. Ormond, Russell,
and Sutton, as the only persons in the country
opposed to allowing the Maories the privilege of
voting at elections; whereas the fact is that neither
those gentlemen, nor any one else, ever entertained
such an idea,—all were willing that the Maories
should enjoy the same privileges as the Pakehas in
that respect, neither more nor less. The objections
raised by members in Parliament, and by the whole
European population throughout the colony, was
. directed against the provision dealing with the
Maori franchise which, was introduced into the
Electoral Bill.
In order that our Maori readers may be enabled
to form a correct opinion on this subject, we print
the following extracts from the Timaru Herald, a
perfectly impartial paper, its proprietors being in no
way mixed up with the vexed questions which have
so disturbed the peace and quiet of Hawke's Bay of
late years—that is to say, since the advent of the
promoters of repudiation in that district:—
"In order fully to comprehend the extent to
which the Government have belied all their profes-
sions of electoral reform, it is necessary to bear in
mind that the amendment made by the Legislative
Council in the Bill, affecting Maori voting, did no-
thing more than restore the clause as it was
originally introduced by the Government themselves.
The Council proposed no novelty. The charges
brought against them of having attempted arbitrarily
, to deprive the poor Maori of his rights, are pure
moonshine. They attempted nothing of the kind.
i They merely erased from the Bill provisions which
i had been inserted as amendments by a bare majority
i of the House of Representatives under irresistible
i pressure from the Government; provisions which
manifestly and avowedly inflicted a detestable
tyranny upon the European inhabitants of the
North Island ; and inserted in their stead verbatim.

i mahi ai. Na, ko te take anake tena i whakarerea e
ai taua Fire e nga Minita. He nui rapea o tatou hoa
e kore e whakapono ki tenei. Tera ratou e ki, e ' 1
kuare ana te iwi ki te take i whakarerea ai te Pire
ra; kaore pea he Kawanatanga e noho noa a
whakarere noa i tetahi o a ratou ture nui mo te motu
i runga i te take pera, ara te tohe a te Kaunihera
kia whakaurua tetahi tikanga a te Kawanatanga i
mahue i a ratou ano, kia rite ai ano te Fire ki ta te '
Kawanatanga i mahia tuatahitia ai—ahakoa he ;
Kawanatanga kuare rawa, kino rawa, e kore pea e
pera. Otira, ko te tikanga ano ia; tera e whaka-
parau te tangata ki te kore e ata whakamaramatia.
Tenei kei a matou e mohio ana ki te whakamarama;
a katahi ka ata kitea te he rawa o te mahi a te
Kawanatanga. Koia tenei. Na te Tauta taua Pire
i hangaa, a kaore i ata tirohia e nga Minita nga

ai i roto i te Whare. He whanoke tenei tu whaka-
haeretanga tikanga Kawanatanga; otira ko te ahua
tonu ia o te mahi a Ta Hori Kerei, hei aha hoki i
korerotia ai ? Ko te ahua tonu tena kua korerotia
nei e matou. I te mahinga a te Tauta i taua Pire i
whakaritea te take pooti a nga Maori kia rite tonu
ki to te Pakeha. Ka kore ratou e utu reiti, e kore
hoki ratou e whai pooti—ara, mo nga pootitanga
mema Pakeha. Otira, kaore rawa tenei i pai ki te
whakaaro a Kerei rau» ko te Hihana; ohorere ana
raua i to raua kitenga i ta to raua hoa, ta te Tauta, i
mahi ai. Katahi ka tautohetohe ratou ki a ratou
ano; te mutunga iho ka tukua ki ta Kerei raua ko
te Hihana, a mahia ana ano taua Pire i roto i te
Komiti ki ta raua i pai ai. Na, ko nga tikanga hou
i whakaurua ki te Pire ra i mea me whai pooti nga
Maori Katoa e whai take ana ki tetahi whenua,
Ahakoa he take iti rawa, kaore hoki i kiia kia utu
reiti ratou. I marama rawa te tikanga o tenei, ara
he whakangaro i nga pooti Pakeha i nga pooti Maori
i te nuinga o nga takiwa pooti katoa o Aotearoa. He
wahi iti rawa i puta ai tenei ahuatanga o te Pire ra i
nga mema ; i tupato rawa te mahi a te Kawanatanga
i ta ratou whakaaritanga i taua tikanga ki te Whare;
i kaha rawa te tohe, i nui rawa te whakawai. Engari
i whakaaro te Kaunihera (tetahi Whare) he mea
manaaki nui rawa i nga Maori taua Pire i tona ahua
i mahia tuatahitia ra e te mo Tauta te pooti Maori, hui
ano hoki ki a ratou mema.Maori motuhake; katahi ka
whakakorea e ratou aua tikanga hou i roto i taua
Pire, i whakaaetia ra i roto i te Komiti i runga i te
pooti kotahi i pahika ki te taha o Kerei, ara te pooti
a te tumuaki o taua Komiti, a whakaurua ana ano
ratou ta te Tauta i mahia tuatahitia ai. Kaua te
tangata e wareware ki te tino take i whakarerea a
taua Pire. Te take ra, he puku tohe na Kerei raua
ko te Minita Maori kia riro rawa i a raua te man
whakahaere o nga pootitanga mema o Aotearoa
katoa, ara i runga i nga pooti Maori—he mea he rawa
hoki itenei mo te mahi pootitanga tika.
et literatim, the provision which had appeared in
the Bill when, it was first brought down by Ministers.
Yet on that account alone Ministers abandoned, the
whole Bill. Many of our readers probably will
scarcely believe that this was actually the case.
They will say that there must be some mistake as to
what took place, that it is incredible that any Govern-
ment, no matter how unscrupulous or demoralised,
could deliberately drop their most important
political measure, merely because the Upper House
insisted on restoring one detail of it to the shape in
which the Government hai originally proposed it.
Such, nevertheless, is the simple fact; and, without
further explanation, it would certainly be well nigh,
incredible. We are, fortunately, in a position to af-
ford the necessary explanation, which, however, can
only have the effect of displaying the conduct of the
Government in a worse light if possible, than it has
hitherto appeared in. It is this. The Electoral
Bill was drafted by the Attorney-General, Mr.
Stout, and its details were actually never considered
by the Cabinet before it was introduced to the
House. This is an odd way, of course, of conducting
responsible government, but it is the way in which.
responsible government under Sir George Grey is
carried on, and we need not stop to discuss the mere
modus quo. The fact is as we have stated it. As
the Bill was framed by Mr. Stout, Maories were
placed on an equal footing with Europeans, a* re-*
garded the property qualification. They were to
have a vote only provided they paid rates. (That
is, for the election of European members.) This,
however, did not at all suit the views of the Premier
or the Native Minister, who were thunderstruck
, when they read the Bill which their colleague had
brought in. A pretty little domestic squabble then
ensued, the result being that the Premier and the
i Native Minister had their way, and the Bill was
3 amended in committee in accordance with their
i wishes. Under the new provisions, every Maori
having any interest, no matter how small, in. pro-
; perty—practically every Maori—was to ha entitled
i to vote without being liable to taxation at all. The
a undisguised intention of this was to swamp the rolls
a with Maories in two-thirds of the electoral district
in the North Island. This alteration in the Bill,
a though cautiously introduced, and supported by the
a most Jesuitical arguments, was only carried by the
;e barest possible majority, and under the most extra-
ordinary pressure by the Government. The Legis-
e lative Council, who considered that Mr. Stout's
original clause provided an extremely liberal fran-
ai chise to the Maories, in addition to their special re-
presentation, undid what had been done by the cast-
ing vote of the chairman in committee of the House
of Representatives, and restored Mr. Stout's clause.
The real cause of the abandonment of the Electoral
Bill should be clearly understood and well borne in
mind. It was the obstinate determination of the
Premier and the Native Minister to retain in their
hands the control of the North Island seats, by a
system of Maori voting which is wholly incompatible
with electoral reform.

NGA KOREROTANGA MO NGA TIKANGA MAORI.
(He roanga no tera Waka. )
I mea a Kapene RATA ko tana e pai ai me perehi
tetahi pukapuka Hanataata ki te reo Maori ka tuku
ai ki nga Ateha Maori katoa i te koroni, ki tetahi
rangatira hoki i nga kainga Maori katoa o te
Koroni. Kaore ia e whakaae ana ki ta te Minita
. Maori e ki nei ia heoi nga mea e tika aua kia panui-
tia ki te reo Maori ko nga mea e pa ana ki te iwi
Maori. Ko te take tenei i mea ai ia (a Kapene
Rata) kia tukua he pukapuka Hanataata ki nga
kainga Maori katoa i te koroni, ara, kua hoata e
ratou he mana pooti ki nga Maori i nga pootitanga
mema Pakeha mo taua Whare. Na, i ki te Minita
Maori e tukua ana he pukapuka Hanataata ki nga
kainga o te Kingi; a e whakamaoritia ana, e kore-
rotia katoatia ana hoki, e nga Maori i roto i o ratou
Runanga. Kati ha, ko te mea tika me tuku i tetahi
pukapuka Hanataata tika a te Kawanatanga ki aua
kainga, kia mohio ai nga Maori ki nga mahi e mahia
ana i roto i taua Whare. Ki te mea e pera rawa
ana te hihiri o nga Maori ki te korero i taua puka-
puka, na, e tika ana ma te Kawanatanga e tuku i
tetahi Hanataata reo Maori ki a ratou. I tenei wa
kua whakakikitia nga Maori kia mahara ai ratou he
mate nui to ratou, ara kia kii ai he tokoiti rawa o
ratou mema kei te Whare; a ki te mea ka perehitia
nga pukapuka Hanataata ki te reo Maori ka tukua
atu ki a ratou, katahi ratou ka ata marama ki to
ratou turanga i te koroni. He mana nui, mutunga-
kore, e hoatu ana ki nga Maori i tenei wa, a e tika
ana kia whakaritea he tikanga e marama ai ratou ki
nga tino tikanga e korerotia ana i roto i taua
Whare.
I ki te TATANA kua whakapeau-ketia e te Minita
Maori te tikanga o tana kupu (ta Tatana. ) Kaore
ia i ki ma te Kawanatanga e whiriwhiri nga korero o
nga. pukapuka Hanataata hei panuitanga ki te reo
Maori. He tika kia tukua taua mahi katoa ki te
Komiti whakahaere i te Panuitanga Whai-korero.
Puaki ana i konei te kupu a Kapene RATA kia
perehitia tetahi pukapuka Hanataata ki te reo
Maori, a ka tukua tetahi kapi ki nga Ateha Maori
katoa i te koroni, ki tetahi rangatira i nga kainga
Maori katoa hoki.
Mea ana te HIHANA, he nui atu te tika o te
whakapau, moni ki runga ki nga kura Maori i to te
whakapau moni i te perehitanga o aua pukapuka.
TAIAROA. —I mea a Taiaroa ehara i a te Tatana
anake tana kupu, engari na te iwi Maori katoa. Kua
' roa nga Maori -e tohe ana kia whakamaoritia nga
whai-korero a o ratou mema. I te wa e mahia ana
te Waka Maori i panuitia ano nga korero a nga
mema Maori i te Whare, no te tuunga ko te
Wananga katahi ka kore e panuitia nga korero a nga
mema Maori. Nga korero e panuitia ana i roto i
taua Wananga he mea poka ke noa atu i ta nga
mema Maori i korero ai. He nui tona pai kia pere-
hitia ki te reo Maori nga korero katoa a nga mema,
•otira he nui rawa pea te moni e pau i taua mahi.
Engari, ki tana whakaaro, he mea tika kia perehitia
nga korero katoa a nga mema Maori mo nga tikanga e
pa ana ki nga Maori, me nga kupu whakahoki ano
a nga mema mo ana korero. I tera tau e rua nga

WEDNESDAY, 25TH SEPTEMBER, 1878.
DEBATES ON NATIVE LAND QUESTIONS.
(Continued from our last. )
Captain RUSSELL would like that an edition of
Hansard should be published in the Maori language,
and a copy sent to every Native Assessor in the
colony, and also to some known Native of influence
in every Native village. He entirely disagreed with
the Native Minister when he stated that it was only
necessary to publish in the Maori language matters
which concerned the Natives. His (Captain Rus-
sell's) object in having Hansard published and sent to
every Native village throughout the colony was this:
They had conferred upon the Natives the power of
taking part in the election of European members of
this House. In the course of the debate that took
place on that occasion the Native Minister said that
Hansard was sent up to the King country—that it
was read and translated line by line, and discussed
by the Maories in their runangas. How much
better, then, would it be to send the au-
thorised version of Hansard to those places, so that
the. Natives might know what was done in this
House! If the Natives studied Hansard so dili-
gently, it was the duty of Parliament to see
that they obtained an authorised copy of
Hansard in the Native language. At the
present time the Natives had been unfortunately
led to believe that they were suffering from a
grevious inequality of representation; and, with re-
gard to their social state in this colony, if the
Hansard, printed in the Maori language, were cir-
culated amongst them they would learn what was
their true position. While placing unbounded
power in the hands of the Natives, they should afford
them every possible means of obtaining information
upon the leading topics which came before this
House for deliberation.
Mr. SUTTON said he had been slightly misrepre-
sented by the Native Minister. The motion did not
convey any instruction to the Government to select
such portions of Hansard as they might think de-
sirable. The whole matter should be referred to
the Reporting Debates Committee.
Captain RUSSELL moved, as an amendment, that '
an edition of Hansard be published in the Maori
language, and a copy be sent to every Native Asses-
sor in the colony, and also to some known Native of
influence in every village".
Mr. SHEEHAN said the money would be more use-
fully spent upon Maori schools than in the publica-
tion of another edition of Hansard.
Mr. TAIAROA was of opinion that the motion which
had been proposed by the honorable member for
Napier (Mr. Sutton) did not emanate from him-
self alone, but from the Native people generally.
The Natives had for a long time been "agitating to
have the speeches of their members translated.
During the time that the Waka Maori was pub-
lished reports were given of the speeches made by
the Native members of the House, but since the
Wananga had superseded it the speeches of the
Maori members were not given. The reports of
their speeches which appeared in that publication
were altogether different from what they said. For
his own part he would like to see the whole of the
speeches delivered by members translated and pub-
lished in Maori, but that, perhaps, would be too ex-

kai-whakamaori i noho ki te Whare ra—kotahi mo
nga mema Maori kaore i uru ki te Kawanatanga,
kotahi mo te tangata i tu hei Minita Kawanatanga.
Inaianei kua mauria e te Kawanatanga taua kai-
whakamaori ki runga ki a ratou tikanga, a kua kore
rawa he kai-whakamaori inaianei mo taua Minita
Maori. Heoi te take i whakaturia ai taua kai-
whakamaori, he mea whakakake i te Kawanatanga i
te aroaro o te Whare. Ko etahi mema o te taha ki a
ia i kii, " Titiro, Taiaroa, kua whiwhi kai-whakamaori
mana te Minita, Maori o te Kawanatanga; " ka ki atu
ia ki a ratou, " Taihoa, ka kite koutou kua kore ia. "
Me tautoko ia i taua kupu kia perehitia nga korero
a nga mema Maori, ka tuku ai ki nga iwi Maori;
engari e kore ia e ki me pera rawa nga korero katoa
o te Whare. Tera hoki tetahi mea e puta ai he
kupu mana. Tera tetahi Pire kei te aroaro o te
Whare he mea whai tikanga ki Waihora, ko te ingoa
Maori ia mo taua wahi, ko te ingoa e mohiotia ana e
te Whare ko te Eremia me te Pohaita Mahinga.
I konei ka karanga mai te TUMUAKI e kore e pai
kia poka ke atu a Taiaroa ki etahi korerotanga o mua
atu.
Whakamaramatia ana e TAIAROA, mea ana heoi te
take i puaki i a ia taua mea ko ia tetahi o nga mea e
pa ana ki te iwi Maori; engari e tauhou ana ratou
ki te ingoa o taua Pire, kaore hoki ratou e mohio ana
ki te tikanga o taua Pire. Ki tana whakaaro ka
puta mai ki te aroaro o te Whare etahi tikanga e pa
ana ki nga whenua Maori, me whakahua ko nga
ingoa Maori o nga wahi i takoto ai aua whenua, kia
mohiotia ai e nga Maori. Heoi, whakaaetia ana te
kupu a Tatana, kaore ta Kapene Rata.
TAITEI, 26 o HEPETEMA, 1878.
' PIRE POOTITANGA.
[I roa rawa te korero a nga mema mo tenei Pire,
e kore rawa e taea e matou te panui i taua korero
katoa. Me panui katoa e matou nga korero a nga
mema Maori; engari, e hiahia ana matou kia awe te
mutu ta matou panuitanga i nga korero o te Pare-
mete, kia watea te nupepa, mo etahi atu korero, no
konei kia ruarua noa nga kupu e taia atu e matou o
nga korero e toe nei a nga mema Pakeha. Tera e
mohio o matou hoa Maeri ki te ahua o aua korero i
era korero a nga mema Pakeha kua taia atu e matou
i era Waka. ]
Te TATANA. —I ki ia ko te tikanga o te tekiona te
18 o taua Pira he tuku i te mana pooti ki nga ta-
ngata pakeke katoa atu o te iwi Maori e ahei ai
ratou te pooti i nga pootitanga mema Pakeha, me
nga mema Maori ano hoki i raro i te mana o nga
Ture Pootitanga mema Maori. Kaore ia e mohio
ana ki tetahi Maori kotahi noa nei, kua tae ona tau
ki te rua te kau ma tahi, i kore e ahei te uru ki te
rouru tangata pooti mema mo te Whare ra. Me
whakamarama e ia taua mea. I a ia e korero ana i
tetahi ahiahi mo taua mea, i whakaputa ia ki tetahi
wahi whenua paku e takoto ana i te rohe i wae-
nganui o nga takawa o Akarana o Haake Pei; nga
tangata Maori i roto i te karaati o taua wahi i tae ki te
165, a i whakaatu ia ki te Whare i taua ahiahi me he
mea na tetahi Pakeha taua whenua kua kotahi tonu
te pooti mo taua wahi; ko tenei na te mea na nga
pensive. He thought, however, that all speeches
made by the Maori members in reference to Native
affairs, and the replies made to them, should be
translated and published. Last year there were two
Maori interpreters in the House—one for the Na-
tive members who were not in the Government, and
one for the gentleman who was a member of the Go-
vernment. The interpreter to whom he had last re-
ferred had been removed by the Government for
their own purposes, and the consequence was that
the Maori member of the Ministry had no interpre-.
ter at all. That interpreter was simply appointed
for the purpose of making the Government " big "
in the eyes of the House. Some of the members of
his party said to him, " Look, Taiaroa, the Maori
member of the Government has a special interpre-
ter; " and his reply was, " Wait awhile, and you
will find that he will not be there. " Re would sup-
port the motion to the effect that the speeches of
the Maori members of the House should be trans-
lated and circulated. amongst the Maories, but he
would not go so far as to say that the whole of the
debates should be dealt with in the same way. There
wae another matter about which he wished to say a
few words. There was a Bill before the House deal-
ing with what the Maories called Waihora, but
which was known in the House as the Ellesmere and
Forsyth Reclamation.
Mr. SPEAKER informed the honorable gentleman
that he must not refer to a previous debate.
Mr. TAIAROA explained that he had only referred
to this matter because the question was one of many
in which the Maories were interested; hut, as the
name of the Bill was new to them, the Natives knew
nothing about it. He held that, whenever any
questions referring to Native lands came before the
House, the Maori names of the places where the
lands were situated should be used, so that the Na-
tive members might have some knowledge of what
was going on.
Amendment negatived, and motion agreed to.
THURSDAY, 26TH SEPTEMBER 1878.
ELECTORAL BILL.
[The debate on this Bill was far too long to admit
of our attempting to publish it in full. We shall
give the speeches of the Maori members in extenso;
but, as we are anxious to bring our Parliamentary
reports to a close, so as to make room for other
matters, we shall but slightly notice the remaining
speeches of the European members. From what we
have already published in previous issues, our Native
readers will be able to form. a tolerably correct
opinion of the general tenor of the whole debate. ]
Mr. SUTTON said that the 18th clause of the Bill
meant manhood suffrage, pure and simple, for the
Natives in voting for the European representatives,
as well as manhood suffrage under the Maori Repre-
sentation Acts. He did not know a single Native
of the age of twenty-one years who could not, under
that clause, register himself on the electoral roll for
members of the House of Representatives. He
would explain how that would be brought about.
The other evening, when speaking on this clause, he
quoted a case m which a small block of land on the
confines of the Hawke's Bay and Auckland Districts
had been passed in the names of 165 grantees, and
he showed then that had this been the property of a
white man there would be only one vote for that
land; but, in consequence of it belonging to Natives
there would. be 165 votes.

180 TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
Maori taua whenua akuanei te 165 ai nga pooti mo
taua wahi kotahi.
Te POKIHA.—Kaore rawa ia i whakahe ki nga
pooti a nga Maori ina noho ratou ki roto i te rouru
tangata utu reiti. Ko te pooti rua tana i whakahe
ai. E pai ana ia kia pooti katoa atu nga Maori mo
o ratou mema Maori ake ano.
Meiha ATIKIHANA.—I ki ia kaore rawa he tika-
nga kaha atu i tana tekiona hei wehe ke i nga
Pakeha me nga Maori, e tu ke ai tetahi i tetahi. No
kona ia ka whakahe ki taua tekiona. I te wa kua
taha ake nei i nono aroha nga Pakeha me nga Maori
i noho tata tetahi ki tetahi. Ma tenei Fire e noho
ke ai tetahi iwi i tetahi, e kore ai e pai raua ki a
raua. Te tikanga o tenei tekiona ehara i te hoatu
mana ki nga Maori, engari he hoatu mana ki etahi
Pakeha kuare rawa, hei takahi i te iwi Pakeha; ma
aua tu Pakeha hoki e ako e rongo ai te iwi Maori ki
a ratou tikanga—tetahi, he tuku mana ranei taua
tekiona ki te Kawanatanga.
Te PITIROI.—Mea ana ia tenei te rerenga-ketanga
o te mahi pooti a nga iwi e rua, ara. Ko te Pakeha
me matua utu i nga reiti, katahi ka tika ratou ki te
pooti io nga Maori kaore rawa e kiia ana kia utu
reiti Inaianei kai te kore e rite tahi te tikanga mo
nga iwi e rua. E hiahia ana ia kia kotahi ano
turanga mo raua tahi; a ka pai ano ia kia pooti ia
kia nui ake he mema Maori e uru ki te Whare ra.
Engari e tino kaha rawa ana tana kupu kia kore e
rite te mahi pooti a nga Maori ki ta te Pakeha ki te
mea kaore e mana ana i a ratou nga tikanga e mana
ana i te Pakeha. Ki te mea ka utu ratou i nga
reiti, ka tika kia whakaurua ratou ki te rouru
Ehara i nga Maori te tono mo enei tikanga pooti—
engari na nga Pakeha Maori, e hiahia ana. hoki aua
tangata kia riro i a ratou nga pooti a nga Maori he
peehi i nga pooti a nga Pakeha.
TAWITI.—I mea ia, ka korero ano ia ki nga
mema no te mea he tikanga mo nga Maori tenei kua
puta ake i roto i te Whare. Kaore nga Maori e pai
ana kia puta i a ratou he tikanga tautohetohe i roto
i te Whare. Na te Kawanatanga o te koroni i mea
kia uru he mema Maori ki te Whare, a tokowha nga
mema Maori i tukua ki taua Whare. Muri iho ka
tohe nga Maori kia nui ake he mema mo ratou ; ka
tonoa e ratou kia whakanuia nga mema Maori. Me
ki atu ia ki te Whare kaore i puta mai i nga Maori!
te korero kia whakanohoia nga Maori ki te rouru ta-
ngata pooti. Na nga apiha a te Kawanatanga Hono
ki nga Maori kia tuhia o ratou ingoa ki nga rouru
kia ahei ai ratou te pooti. I ki mai ki nga Maori he
tika kia tuhia ki te rouru nga tangata katoa i uru
ki roto ki nga Karauna karaati, me nga tangata
noho whare katoa. Engari ko etahi Maori kaore i
tuhia o ratou, ingoa ki te rouru, ahakoa i roto .ano
ratou i etahi Karauna karaati, he whare ano hoki a
ratou. E mohio rawa ana te Whare ehara i nga
Maori te tikanga kia tuhia o ratou ingoa ki te rouru,
engari na nga Pakeha; ara, na nga Minita o era tau
kua taha nei—ko- te mahi a nga tangata o tenei
Kawanatanga he whakahaere i taua tikanga a nga
Minita o mua i a ratou. I ki tetahi o nga Minita i
roto i te Whare nei e hiahia ana a ia kia whakano-
hoia nga Maori ki nga rouru, ko etahi mema kaore
pai ki tena. Na te iwi Maori ia i pooti kia haere
mai ia ki te whakarongo ki nga korero i roto i taua
Whare. Kua toru ona tau i noho ai ia ki reira, a
kitea ana e ia ko nga tikanga Maori te mea nui
korerotia ana e te Whare. E ahua whakama ana a i
ki te mahi Whatanui rawa i nga tikanga Maori.
rongo ia i tena rangi e ki ana tetahi mema, e kore
e puta te Hamene a te Kuini i nga wahi katoa
Mr. Fox never objected to the Maories voting on
the ratepayers' roll. What he objected to was their
having that power along with special representation.
it was the double vote which was objected to. He
would not object to giving the Maories manhood
suffrage for their own members.
Major ATKINSON said there was no possible ar-
rangement by which they could better set the Maori
against the European and the European against the
Maori than by adopting this clause. It was upon
;hat ground alone that he objected to it. Hitherto
the Europeans in proximity to the Maoris had lived
on exceedingly friendly terms with them. The effect
of this Bill would be to set race against race. The
effect of this clause would be to hand over a power,
as against the Europeans, not to the Maories, but to
the worst class of Europeans who would influence
the Maories, or to the Government of the day.
Mr. FITZROY said that with, regard to the voting
of Europeans and Maories there was this difference
between the two races : the Europeans had to pay
rates before they were qualified to vote, while the
Maories were not required to do anything of the
sort. At present the two races were not on equality.
It was his desire that they should be placed on an
equality, and if necessary he would vote that there
should be increased Maori representation in the
House. But he contended in the strongest possible
I manner that the Maori should not have the same
voting privileges as Europeans unless they con-
formed to the same rules as Europeans were bound
by. If they paid rates, by all means let them be
put on the roll. It was not the Maories who were
asking for these voting privileges—it was the Pakeha-
Maories, who wished to use the votes of the Natives
for the purpose of swamping the European votes.
Mr. TAWITI said he was compelled to address
honorable members again owing to the Native ques-.
tion which had arisen in the House. The Natives
had no wish to raise a dispute in the House. It was
the Government of the colony who decided that
Maories should have seats in the House, and four
> members were allowed to come to the House. Subse-.
quently, however, the Maories began to agitate for
increased representation—they asked that the num-
ber of Maori members should be increased. He
• would inform the House that the outcry for placing
) Maories on the electoral roll did not emanate from
the Natives themselves. The Natives had been asked
by Government officers to have their names placed
a on the rolls in order that they might have the privi-
a lege of voting. The Natives were told that all those
i who had an interest in Crown grants were entitled
to have their names placed on the roll, and that
a householders should have the same privilege. But
a some of the Maoris did not have their names placed
on the roll, al:hough they were interested ia Crown
u grants and had household properties. The House
knew very well that the placing of Maoris on the
roll did not emanate from the Maories, but from the
i Europeans—that was to say, from the Ministers who
had occupied the Treasury benches in previous years ;
and he would say that the members of the present
re Government were perpetuating the action of their
ua predecessors in this respect. One of the Ministers
a had said in the House that he was desirous of having
e the Maoris placed on the roils,- and other members
expressed a contrary opinion. He had been, elected
I by the Maori people to come to the House and
listen to what took place in it. He had been here
o I for three years, and gathered that the principal ques

tamarikitanga ra ano, kia hapai tonu ratou i te mana
o te Kuini. Inaianei e hapai ana ratou i te mana o
te Kuini hei oranga mo te iwi. Na, mo te kupu a
te mema mo te Takiwa Maori ki te taha Tonga kia
whakanuia nga mema Maori, he ana te pai kia waiho
taua mea hei arai i tenei Pire ? Me he mea he Wiwi,
he Tiamana ranei, te Kawanatanga e tu nei, kua kore
ia e tautoko i a ratou korero; ko tenei e hapai ana
te Kawanatanga i te mana o te Kuini, e kore ia e
whakahe ki tena. He aha te pai kia korerotia ano
tenei korero ? Kua oti ra hoki i tera po. Me he
mea he Pire ia e whai tikanga ana mo nga whenua
Maori, tera pea he take e korerotia ai; tera pea
etahi tikanga mo etahi whenua Maori i tangohia
hetia mai i nga Maori. Ko tenei, he mea tenei e pa
• ana ki o ratou tinana. He mea tika kia whakanuia
mai he mema mo te iwi Maori—mo te Takiwa o
Waikato, o Tauranga, o Rotorua, no te mea e kore
e tau enei mema e noho nei hei reo mo aua tangata
katoa. E hiahia ana hoki ratou kia kotahi mai hoki
he mema mo te Waipounamu. He mema ia mo te
taha ki Ngapuhi, a ko ana korero kaore e rangona
ana e nga tangata o noko ana i tenei wahi o te motu.
He mema a Hoani Nahe mo Ngatimaru, e kore hoki
e taea e ia te mahi i nga tikanga mo nga tangata o
tenei wahi o te motu. He mema a Karaitiana
Takamoana mo te taha ki te Rawhiti, e kore hoki e
taea e ia te whakaari mai i te whakaaro o etahi iwi o
waho atu o tona takiwa. No kona raua ko te mema
mo te Waipounamu i whakapuaki ai i ta raua tika-
nga kia whakanuia nga mema Maori. Heoi ana
kupu.

Ki te Etita, o te Waka Maori,
WHAREPONGA, Nowema 14, 1878.
E HOA, —Mau e panui atu ena kupu ki to tatou korea, —
KI A TE KAWANATANGA.
Tena koutou—Tenei taku kupu kia rongo koutou me te
motu katoa atu; ara, ko taku whakaatu mo tetahi whenua
ko Maungawaru tonu ingoa, e takoto ana i te takiwa o
Waiapu. Ko taua whenua i tukua ki te Kawanatanga i mua
ai, i te tau 1874, hei hoko ki a te • Kuini mo nga moni e rua
herengi mo te eka kotahi, a puta mai ana he moni tamana ki
runga i taua whenua e £400. Tonoa ana te ruuri me te Kooti
mo tenei poraka, kore rawa i puta mai, o taua taima taea
noatia tenei taima, i nga ra i tu ai a te Hihana hei Minita
tion the House considered was the Native question.
He was rather ashamed to think that so much pro-
minence was given to Native matters. He heard a
member say that day that the Queen's writ did not
run through the whole of this Island. Well, that
was so to a great extent. Although in some districts
the Queen's writ did not run, there were very many
members of the Maori race who upheld Her
Majesty's authority. The tribes who returned him
to the House were Ngapuhi, Rarawa, and Ngati-
whatua, and they told him when they sent him here
that if the Government gave them anything or made
him any offer he was not to refuse it. Now, whea
one of the Ministers had given them something for
the benefit of the Maori people he would not. refuse
to accept it. If the Minister had said that they
were to be burnt, he would not have accepted that.
What they had all been told from the beginning—
from the time of their birth—was that they, were
always to uphold Her Majesty's authority. They
were at present upholding her Majesty's authority
lor the benefit of the people. As for the proposal
of his honorable friend the member for the Southern
Maori district for the increase of Maori representa-
tion, why should it stand in the way of this Bill?
If the Government now in office were Frenchmen or
Germans he would not uphold what they had to say;
but the Government were only upholding the
Queen's authority, and he could not undo that.
What was the good of raising this question again ?
It was settled the other night. If it were a Bill re-
ferring to Native lands there might be some reason
for interfering with it. There might be matters
brought forward in connection with Native lands
that had been taken improperly away from, the
Maories. This was a matter which affected their
persons. There ought to be increased representa-
tion for the Maori people—for the Waikato district,
the Tauranga district, and the Rotorua district—
because the Native members now in the House were
not able to represent so many people. They also
wished to have another representative for the Middle
Island. He was a member for the Ngapuhi Dis-
trict, and the people in this part of the Island could
not hear what he had to say. His honorable friend
Hoani Nahe was a member for the Ngatimaru tribe,
and could not represent the people of this part of
the Island. His honorable friend Karaitiana Taka-
moana was the member for the Eastern District, and
he could not represent the feeling of other tribes
outside of his own district. Therefore the honor-
able member for the Middle Island and himself had
brought forward their measure to increase the re-
presentation of the Maories. That was all he had to
say. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

FRIEND, —Please publish in our canoe the following letter
To THE GOVERNMENT.
Greeting—This is my word, that you and all the people of
the island may hear it, in reference to a block of land called
Maungawaru, situated near Waiapu. This block was
given up in the year 1874 to be sold to the Queen at two
shillings per acre, and a sum. of £400 was paid to us on ac-
count. We asked to have the block surveyed and our titles
legalized in the Land Court, but from that time down to the
present—when Mr. Sheehan holds the office of Native Minister
—nothing whatever has been done, although I have been con-

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
Maori, me te tono ano au mo taua whenua kia whakaotia ma te
Kuini. A, roa noa, tae ana au ki Turanga, pata noa atu he
waea, kihai i hoki, mai, a hoki pongere noa ana au ki toku
takiwa i haere mai ai au, i nga maero kotahi rau.
Na, he rapu tenei, he whakaatu hoki, he aha ra te putake i
whakakorea ai te ruuri mo tenei whenua e tonoa nei ki te
ture ? He kupu whakapati ranei na tetahi Maori, Pakeha
ranei, i kore ai he kupu whakahoki mai mo nga korero i rite i
Po Neke ? Na, he tino panui tuturu tenei M nga iwi, ki nga
reo ki te Kawanatanga, Ma rongo koutou, e kore au e utu atu i
te moni e £400 a te Kawanatanga, no te mea kua wha tuturu
tenei nga tau e tono ana kihai i oti—na e hara i au tena
mangere. E koro taua whenua e noho, a muri atu ia eke he.
ruuri—kore, kore, kore rawa atu. Ki te eke mai he Maori,
Pakeha ranei, ki te ruuri, ka panaia e matou, no te mea kua
rongo koe, e te Kawanatanga, ki nga kupu a etahi atu Maori,
Pakeha ranei, ko matou kua whakapehewatia.
Na enei hapu, Ngatimoehau, Ngatihinekaitanga, te
Aitanga-a-Mate, Whanauapanui.
I tuhia e TUTA NIHONIHO.
Ki te Etita o te Waka Maori.
HIKURANGI, Arekahanara, 26 o Nowema 1878.
E HOA, —Utaina atu enei kupu aku ki runga ki te Waka,
kia kitea e nga iwi e rua, te Pakeha me te Maori. Kua tukua
e au aua kupu ki te Wananga tera pea e kore e panuitia e ia
aua kupu, no reira au i mea ai me tuku atu ano ki a koe, mau
e uta ki ta tatou Waka. Koia tenei te reta e korero nei au,
ara: —
Ki te Etita o te Wananga.
E HOA, —Kati to tuku mai i to nupepa, te Wananga, ki
tenei wahi; no te mea kaore e marama ana ki a matou au
tikanga. Ko nga kupu a Tawhiao, kaore e kitea aua i roto i
nga Wananga katoa; ko tehea wahi e paingia ana e Tawhiao
e kore e kitea i roto i te Wananga. Kaore au i rongo kua
whakaae a Tawhiao ki nga tikanga a Kerei. Engari te Waka
Maori, i rongo au i te kupu a Tawhiao i roto i taua nupepa.
Ki taku mohio kua puuta to waha ki te moni e te koroheke e
tinihanga nei i a matou. Ano! ki tonu to waha i te moni; no
kona koe i poauau ai, kihai koe i hamumu. I tera tau ka nui
to kaha ki te hamumu i nga tikanga kino mo te taha Maori.
He aha te take i kore ai koe e waiho ko te Minita Maori hei
poauau, no te mea he tangata patupaiarehe ia no Pirongia.
E hoa, kati to tuku i te Wananga ki au. E whakapai ana
au me te iwi katoa ki nga korero o te Waka Maori. He hori-
hori to nupepa.
Na PAKU KOHATU,
Am na matou katoa na Ngatimaniapoto.
Ka tukua atu ano e au etahi kupu ki a koe, te Etita o te
Waka, kia tukua mai ano e koe tetahi nupepa ki a matou.
PAKU KOHATU.
Tenei kua tae mai tetahi reta roa na B. T. NGATAIERUA o
Waiapu. I tuhia mai i te 6 o nga ra o Tihema, he. whakaatu
mai i nga tikanga o te mahi tahutahu i nga whare a nga ta-
ngata e tutu mai i Waiapu ra. E mea ana nga torero i muri
nei kua mau te rongo i taua hunga tutu, no konei kaore he
tikanga e panuitia katoatia ai taua reta, tetahi e kore ano e o
ki te nupepa nei. E ti ana kua nui nga tangata o etahi hapu
i rere mai ki te awhina i a Wiremu Keiha, no kona pea a
Hirini Kahe i mea ai kia houhia te rongo. E ana a Nga-
taierua, " Kei hea ra te Minita o te taha Maori ? Kei te moe
pea?"—katahi ka korero i ana whakaaro i ngaro ai taua
Minita—he mea ia e memenge ai nga paparinga o te tangata,
he taunu, engari ehara i te korero pai mo te panui.
I te korerotanga a te Minita Maori i te Whare i mua ake
nei mo nga Tikanga Maori i ki ia e kaha ana te Kawanatanga
ki te hopu" tangata i te kainga o te Whiti—a i whakahawea
matou M taua korero i reira ai, na kua tika hoki i muri nei ta
matou i whakaaro ai. E rongo ana matou kua riro mai ia i
Taranaki, e haere mai ana ma uta ki Werengitana nei; e
rongo ana hoki matou i te kai tahi raua ko Rewi i te waipiro, i
te moe tahi hoki raua ko Rewi i te moenga o taua rangatira;
engari kaore rawa matou e rongo ana i te tono ia kia tukua mai
te tangata kohuru ra, a Hiroki. Kua nui noa nga korero
whakahi, whakakake noa. a taua Minita i mua ai; a he mea
whakama rawa tenei e wehi nei te Minita Maori, e whakama
ana ranei, ki te tono noa iho kia tukua mai te tangata kohuru
tia whakawakia. E pai ana tia awe te mutu tenei tu mahi
tinually asking that the transaction might be completed and
the land made over to the Queen. After long waiting I went
to Gisborne and sent telegrams but I received no answer, so I
returned disappointed to my own home—a distance of one
hundred miles.
Now, I want to know why the survey of this land has been
refused ? Has any one, Maori or Pakeha, been speaking false
and deceitful words that no answer has been returned about
this matter which was decided in Port Nicholson ? Let all the
tribe, and all Government agents, know that I shall not return
the £400 of the Government money, because for four entire
years this matter has been urged (upon them) and it is not yet
finished—the inaction and procrastination have not been mine.
The land now shall never be surveyed—never, never, never.
If a Maori or Pakeha come upon it for that purpose, he will be
driven off by us, because you, the Government, have hearkened
to the words of some other Maories, or perhaps a Pakeha, and
have rejected us.
From the hapus of Ngatimoehau, Ngatihinekaitanga, te
Aitanga-a-Mate, and Whananapanui.
Written by TUTA NIHONIHO.
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
HIKURANGI, Alexandra 26th November, 1878.
SIR, —Take these words of mine on board of the Waka that
both races may see them—the Pakeha and the Maori. I have
sent them to the Wananga, but I do not suppose it will" pub-
lish them, therefore I thought I would also send them to you
to put on board of our canoe, the WAKA. The following is a
copy of the letter to which I am referring: —
To the Editor of the Wananga.
SIR, —Cease sending your newspaper, the WANANGA, to this
place, because your views and sentiments are not satisfactory
to us. The words of Tawhiao are never seen in the WANANGA;
whatever may be his views, they are undiscoverable in the
WAHANGA. I have never heard that Tawhiao has
consented to Grey's proposals. I have however read
words of Tawhiao in the WAKA MAORI. In my
opinion your mouth has been blocked up with many by this
old man who is humbugging us. Behold! your mouth is
choke-full of money; therefore your head is turned, and you
cannot utter a word. Last year you talked beyond measure
about the evils affecting the Maori race. What is the reason
you do not leave the Native Minister to play the fool by him-
self ?—for is he not a phantom of evil from the haunted ranges
of Pirongia.
My friend, cease sending the WANANGA to me. I, and all
the tribe, favor the words of the WAKA MAORI. Your paper
is dishonest and untruthful.
From PAKU KOHATU,
And from all of Ngatimaniapoto.
I will send you, the Editor of the WAKA, further informa-
tion when you send us the paper.
PAKU KOHATU.
We have received a long letter, dated December 6th, from
E. T. NGATAIERUA, of Waiapu, giving a particular description
of the burning, by the contending parties, of each others,
houses at that place. As it appears, from later information,
that the matter has been patched up for the present, it is un-
necessary to publish the letter in full, even if we could spare
space to do so. It appears that Wiremu Keiha has been largely
reinforced by other hapus, and we suppose Hirini Kahe has
agreed to make peace in consequence of that fact. Our cor-
respondent asks " Where is the Native Minister ? Is he
asleep ?—and then he indulges in certain speculations as to the
nature of the occupation which detains him—very funny and
sarcastic, but hardly fit for publication.
The Native Minister, in his statement of Native Affairs, said
the Government could arrest men in the Whiti's country—an
assertion which we took the liberty of doubting at the time,
and the result has proved that we were right. We read that
he has left Taranaki and is coming to Wellington overland; that
he has been " liquoring up" with Rewi and sharing the old
chief's bed, but we do not hear that he has made any demand for
Hiroki, the murderer. After all his bounce about what he
would do, it is a pitiable spectacle to see the Native Minister
ashamed, or afraid, even to ask that a murderer be given up
for trial. It is time the farce was played out.

Our Native friends will be glad to hear that Captain
Porter has been elected Mayor of Gisborne, He is a gentle-
man whose great experience and knowledge of the wants of
the district, added to his sterling honesty and integrity of
character, well fit him for so responsible a position. We
think the people of Gisborne could not have chosen a gentle-
man better suited in any way to fill the office of chief magis-
trate of their town.
The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company is
pushing business in Fiji. A proposal has been made there to
establish a Sugar Company if the capital of £15, 000 can be
raised.
