Koia nei nga kupu a aua Apiha :—
WAIKATO.
No te marama o Maehe i tu ai te hui a Ngatimani-
apoto ki te Kuiti, he mea hoki, hei mahi tikanga mo

Mokau kia reti ratou i te whenua. He tini nga
tangata kua mate i te mate turoro, a ko etahi o ratou
he tino tangata no aua iwi. Ko Takerei te Rau,
ko Te Wetini, ko Pakukohatu, kahore ano i mutu te
mahi tahae taonga, me te tahae hoiho i enei ra. a he
tini nga tangata kua he i te whakawa mo a ratou
mahi he, a ko etahi kua tukua ma te Kooti Hupirimi
e whakawa, otira, kahore Kau he tino hara nui. Kua
ahua mutu te haurangi waipiro, e haurangi ana ano ia
etahi Maori i nga taonga Pakeha, otira, e kore rawa
te waipiro e tukua ki nga hui Hauhau kai ai. A ko
te Kupapa, e ahua pera ana ano me te ahua o era tau

TAKIWA KI RAKARANA.
I nga tau kua pahure nei, e ahua iti haere ana te
Maori, i te mea hoki, kotahi tekau tupapaku e mate

tau ka rima nei. A kotahi ano Maori e he i te wka-
kawa mo te haurangi i te tau kotahi, kua kore te kai
waipiro o te iwi nei, a koi nga Maori noho taone
anake to hunga kai waipiro. He nui te pai o te hui i
Hikurangi mo nga iwi Maori, he mea hoki ma taua
hui e mariri ai te whakaaro a nga rangatira Maori.
I aku tau i noho ui i te takiwa Maori, kahore ano
ahau i kite noa i te hui penei te nui, a kahore kau he

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1878.
IN a former issue we gave quotations from the
reports of the Government officers in the Native
districts. As we had not space to give all we had
selected at that time, we now give the other portion,
in the hope that our Maori readers will give heed
to the hints contained in such reports as we quote,
and that the Maori people in future years will prove
that they have obeyed the instructions given.
The officers for the various districts make the
following remarks:—
WAIKATO DISTRICT.
Ngatimaniapoto held a meeting at Te Kuiti early
in March for the purpose of discussing the land
question, a section of the tribe living at Lower
Mokau having shown a disposition to lease land in that
neighbourhood. Several chiefs of high standing have
died, the principal being Takerei te Rau and Te Wetini
and Pakukohatu. Petty larceny and horse-stealing
have not decreased, and there have been many sum-
many convictions, and several committals to the
Supreme Court; but crimes of a more serious nature
are rare. Drunkenness is much less common ; there
is a little occasionally in towns, but spirits are not
permitted to be used at the Hauhau meetings. The
" Kupapa" or " Friendlies," do not appear to be any
better circumstanced, than, they were ten years ago.
They are by no means a thrifty people.
RAGLAN DISTRICT.
During the past five years the deaths in this district
have averaged in the proportion of ten to eight
births, which proves that the Maori is slowly de-
creasing in numbers. I only do them justice when I
say that they are the most sober and best-conducted
tribes I have been amongst In support of this I
would here state that only two Natives have been con-
victed for petty thefts during the last five years ; and
on the average one Native is fined for disorderly con-
duct and drunkenness every year. Drunkenness as it
was seems a thing of the past, except amongst that
class of Natives who make it a practice to hang
about our settlements The late meeting at Hiku-
rangi will do much to improve the good feeling so
much desired by all right-thinking chiefs. During
my experience amongst them I have never seen, so
large a gathering where more good feeling was dis-
played.
TAURANGA DISTRICT.
This has been a good year as regards food, but they
are fast decreasing in numbers. The census just
taken shows the Native population of this district to
be now 1,086 against 1,245 in 1874, being a decrease
of 159 in five years. The very few children they
have in proportion to the adults is a noticeable fact.
An attempt was made to get the chiefs to register the
births and deaths, which will prove useful records to
Government. The Assessors and other chiefs have
rendered me every assistance in any disputes which
have arisen between Natives. They show but little
interest in educational matters. The school which
existed at Whareroa had to be given up on account of
non-attendance of scholars, and the buildings have
been utilized as a boarding-house for sons of Native
chiefs attending the Tauranga District School. I have
already six in this institution, which number is to be
increased to twelve or more, as suitable youths pre-
sent themselves.
MAKETU DISTRICT.
The moral condition of the Natives appears to me
improving about Maketu, but at Ohinemutu, and the
parts visited by tourists, drunkenness and debauchery
are far too common. The inland Natives are very
litigious, and generally keep a Magistrate sitting
from two to three days at the Monthly Court held at
Ohinemutu. Several of the Native Assessors attend
this Court regularly, and are of great assistance to
the sitting Magistrate. I am glad to remark a general
desire on the part of the Natives to repair their old.
flour mills, and to grow wheat as a crop again. Five
Native schools are in operation in this district, with a
marked degree of success in one case.
OPOTIKI DISTRICT.
The Natives in one part of it are not decreasing so
fast as they are in other parts. One tribe, the Wha-
katohea, I believe to be increasing in numbers. The
Natives in this district, especially the Whakatohea,
Whanau a te Hutu, and Whanau a Maru, continue to
be conspicuous for their industry as agriculturists.
The Urewera Tribe, which some years since were so
troublesome, appear now to be amenable to the wishes
of the Government as others. There are five Native
schools in this district, some of which have been very
successful, and a considerable number of Maori
children attend the district school at Opotiki.
OPOTIKI DISTRICT (SECOND REPORT).
The Natives at Opotiki, Omaia, Te Kaha, and Rau-
kokore, continue to be industrious and well-behaved.
Seven thousand two hundred bushels of wheat and
twelve thousand eight hundred and eighty-four bushels

of maize were grown this year at Te Kaha, Omaio
and Raukokere, besides large quantities at other
places. The Te Kaha Natives have repaired their
old flour-mill at Maraetai, at a cost of £120- it is
now in full working order. The Whakatane Natives
have collected money for a flour-mill, but owing to
the jealousy existing between the two tribes the
matter stands in abeyance. The Natives at Rangi-
taike have taken to sheep-farming; they brought
400 sheep from Napier last year, and intend to get
600 more this year. There are six Native schools in
this district—viz., at Te Kaha, Omaio, Torere Omara-
mutu, Whakatane, and Fort Galatea. With regard
to the Opotiki Natives there, they conduct themselves
very well; there is very little drunkenness amongst
them, and their moral condition generally will com-
.pare favorably with, the Natives of other districts
The Urewera drink more than the other tribes ; they
take quantities of spirits to their own settlements
where they drink to excess at their " huis" or meet-
ings, which take place frequently. Only two Natives
of note have died during the present year\_viz.
Tamatemaerangi. an old chief and Government pen-
sioner, at Te Kaha, and Peraniko Parakiri, chief of
the Ngatimanawa, at Fort Galatea. The loss of the
last-mentioned chief will be felt very much in that
part of the district, as he was a well-behaved and
loyal man. The Urewera tribe are gradually becom-
ing more amenable to the law. A thoroughly good
feeling exists between the Maoris and Europeans.
Some of the Natives of the Whakatohea express a de-
sire to purchase small pieces of Crown lands in the
Opotiki Valley, in order that they may have better
facilities for taking their crops to market.
WAIAPU DISTRICT.
Industry is increasing; more attention is being
paid to comfort and cleanliness in the Natives' dwel-
lings, dress, and mode of living ; and a growing dis-
position towards temperance is noticeable on all occa-
sions of their meeting together. The schools at
Waiomatatine and Akuaku are doing well. The at-
tendance at Kawakawa and Tokomaru Schools is im-
proving.
GISBORNE DISTRICT.
In the beginning of last year the habits of drunken-
ness, extravagance, and neglect of ordinary cultiva-
tivation were painfully apparent. This state of things
was owing to the large expenditure of capital in the
purchase of lands. These easily-gotten funds had the
usual effect, as in almost every village was to be found
a house for the sale of spirits, kept by some Native
who had succeeded in obtaining sufficient funds to
enable him to open a public-house on his own account.
In the years 1876-77 there were no less than fifty-
two houses for the sale of spirits between the Tura-
nganui River and Hicks' Bay, forty-two of which
were kept by Natives. The spread of Good Templar
ism has tended to greatly remedy this evil, which I
feared would reduce the Natives to a confirmed state
of intemperance and poverty. A very earnest return
to religions observances is now general throughout the
tribes, and funds have been and are still being raised
for the erection of churches, and the foundation of
stipend funds to support Native clergymen.
WHANGANUI DISTRICT.
Speaking of the Natives of these parts, I feel
bound to refer to an off expressed satisfaction on their
part at the advent to power of the present Premier,
Sir George Grey, their former Governor and patron ;
and of the Hon. Mr. Sheehan, as successor to the late
Sir Donald M'Lean, like whom he is looked up to as
their friend and protector. Drunkenness, I aua sorry
to say, is on the increase, and 1 look forward with
apprehension to the consequences to the Native
population, owing to their increasing desire and
thirst for spirits, which threatens to be their ruin.
In matters of religion, the Whanganui Natives are
still deprived of the ministrations of an English mis-
sionary, and they are, as described by themselves,
"like sheep without a shepherd." Representations have
been made to the Bishop of the Anglican Church, and
to the Church Missionary Society, but hitherto with-
out avail. A serious responsibility lies at their door
for their is an ample field of usefulness, at present
unoccupied, amongst a Maori population of some three
thousand souls. The Church of England should either
at once send a zealous, indefatigable, and self-sacrific-
ing missionary to these people, or withdraw from the
field, which would then soon be occupied by either
the Catholic or Wesleyan body. There is but one
solitary church now standing on the rivers, where
there used to be more than a dozen; not that the
Natives aro indisposed to build new ones, for if looked
after and assisted, money and material would be
forthcoming for the erection of temples for the wor-
ship of the Great Creator.
RANGITIKEI AND MANAWATU DISTRICTS.
The Natives of this district have never been in a
more peaceful, orderly, and satisfactory condition than
during the last twelve months. The opening up of
the railway lines, and of roads throughout the dis-
trict, have all tended much to cause the present
gratifying state of things. It appears to me that the
Native mind has not for years been more open to
receive religions instructions than now. It is gratify-
ing to see that the principal religious denominations
throughout the colony are becoming awake to this
state of things, and are seeking to make provision for
it by the appointment of Native and European pastors.
I am pleased also to be able to report that, so far as
my Court records show, there has been much, less
crime among the Natives than in previous years.
This is, I think, owing tu their improved moral state,
and also from the fact that the Native Assessors
have at last recognized the importance and responsi-
bilities of their office, and have evinced the strongest
determination to suppress and prevent crime at their-
several "kaingas."
CANTERBURY DISRTCT.
The census shows a slight decrease in the adult
population since it was last taken, and a sight increase
in the number of children. The total population,
according to the last census, was 558; the present
tot:»l is 546. In order to prevent delay iu forwarding
the returns, it would be well if the law were amended
so as to make it compulsory ou the Maoris to give
whatever information is required by the enumerator.
The great event of the year was the meeting lately

held at Kaiapoi, at which representatives from every
settlement in the Island were present. The subject
of discussion was" the best means of securing the
fulfilment of the promises made by the Land Purchase
Commissioners." A most enthusiastic reception was
given to the Hon. Mr. Sheehan and the Hon. Hoani
Nahe, who attended the meeting at the request of Mr.
Taiaroa. The proposed appointment of a mixed
Commission of Maoris and Europeans, to inquire into
the claims and report to Parliament, met with the
approval of the meeting. But the difficulty they
seem to experience in fixing their choice of Commis-
sioners is likely to postpone this arrangement indefi-
nitely. The order and sobriety that prevailed during
the five weeks the hui lasted was very creditable to
Ngaitahu. Increasing interest is shown in the educa-
tion of the children. At Rapaki, near Lyttelton, a
new schoolroom and master's house are in course of
erection, and where schools already exist the Natives
seem to take a pride in the attainments of the chil-
dren. Drunkenness is a rare vice only a few notorious
characters being- known to drink : iu" other respects,
too, I am glad to observe an improvement in the
moral tone of the people.

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Friend—The word which was preached by our beloved
Bishop, the late Bishop Selwyn, to the Ngapuhi People
in the year 1856 was—" The kauri tree grows very high
and large, and the seeds drop and kauri trees again
grow from them." These words were used as a figure
by that Bishop for the Maori, that is, if the Maori would
not give up the evil practices of his old Maori life, his
belief in his Maori gods, witchcraft, and all other evils of
his Maori life, and turn and worship the True God, their
offspring would grow up like themselves, and the children
would not be any different to their parents. Now there
are three different ways by which this figure of the
Bishop may be read. First, the taking of land by theft,
defamation of a good name in the newspapers, and all
other evils by man which propagate themselves if the
repentance of such evils be like that of Judas Iscariot.
Secondly, all good works, truth, justice, and love, grow
and bring forth the same as themselves, that is, if repen-
tance be like that of the Apostle Peter. I ask, what
difference is there between the two men ? I say, let us
consider this question. It is because of the justice, truth,
and love of England to the black races of men, especially
to the Africans and to all the coloured races of the
world, that England has been so blessed, and has been
lifted up above all kings and powers or this world.
And it is by the evil doings of America in her holding
slaves that she had to fight herself, when thousands of her
own people were killed by those of her own people. And
it is by the open defiance of the French of the Day of
God that the Prussians had to chastise them, and for
which she from being governed by an Emperor fell into a
Republic. And it is because of the unbelief of the Turk
that Russia bad to chastise her, and had it not been for the
aid given by England she would have lost her name in
this world, and also in the world to come. Now I begin
to ask my questions—Why did the " Waka Maori" fall
with evil with its Government? Is it because the
" Waka" was like England ; or was it because it followed
in the path of those words by which it was baptised in
justice, truth, and love ? No, even as Judas Iscariot was,
only an apostle in name; but he was a murderer of our
Lord, and he hung himself. His act is the sign of in-
correct repentance and of death ; but the sign of true
repentance is that of the Apostle Peter. Second ques-
tion—Which repentance does the " Waka Maori" intend
to follow in wishing that it may again take part in the
things of this world ? Will it of itself pay the £600
for its evil to the Hon. H. R. Russell, or the £100 to the
Hon. J. Sheehan ? No, perhaps not. The figure quoted
says, " If the ' Waka Maori' does grow very high, and
its seed fall and grow, all that will come from the seed
will be the same sort of ' Waka Maori,' which may be
seen from the sort of words it utters on this its new
voyage." Third question—Who are they who support the
Land-Shark Land Ring ? Who killed the Native Lands
Bill of the year 1865, &c., &c. ; and who concocted the
Native Lands Bill for the year 1873 and 1874, so that they
might have additional power for the Immigration and
Public Works Loan Act 1870 and 1873, by which six
millions were borrowed in England, and out of which
seven hundred thousand pounds of money were taken, and
by the Land Purchase Commissioners of the Government
of that " Waka Maori" were thrown broadcast over our
Native lands by the Government which owned the " Waka
Maori ?" Also they borrow £1.2,148,688 10s. by the Immi-
gration and Public Loan Act 1874, the General Purposes
Loan Act 1873, the New Zealand Loan Act 1876, the
Immigration and Public Works Acts 1870-71-73-74.
the Railway Act 1870-71-72-73-74, the Immigra-
tion and Public Works Appropriation Act 1875 ; and
all the lands which they obtained by the money
out of these loans of the £700,000 was the Government
owning the " Waka Maori," and which were about eight
millions acres of land ; and that Government were the
cause of these three evils, namely, land-sharks, land-
rings, and immigration and public works being brought
on to our Native lands. And from these great evils came
the searching of the thoughts of Karaitiana Takamoana,
how he could find life for the Maori people, and he found
TE WANANGA ; but when the " Waka" and its Govern-
ment, and the chiefs who supported them, and those
who are called by the '• Waka" " Respectable
Natives of known position and intelligence aro
members of our Board of Directors," that
TE WANANGA newspaper had been established,.
and had spoken of the evils that were afflicting the
Natives, then did the fire and indignation of the
" Waka," and its Government, and its Native chiefs, who
took the glands of the poor, make a cross on which to
hang TE WANANGA, even as they had killed the Native
Lands Act of 1865; but the cross which was made
on which to hang TE WANANGA was that on.
which " Te Waka" itself was hung, as was seen in the
case of evil to the Hon. H. R. Russell and the Hon. J.
Sheehan for the £6,100 damages, which was like Haman
who made a cross for Mordecai.
The " Waka Maori" again was sent to sea on the 21st of
August, 1878, but the words of its first issue were not ia
accordance with the proverb, as we see by the sound of its
words, " as the tree is known by its fruits." Now, let us all
take notice of the words of this " Waka" and see what they
mean. First the " Waka" says, in reference to those
Europeans who wish to guide the Maori for his good, that
they only so act " to keep the Maori in leading strings at
the expense of truth and honesty for their own ulterior
purposes." This is the answer to that—It is the word of

the Prophet Nathan to David the King, " Thou art the
man." Second, the " Waka" says, " Stray town Maoris ;
pur Maoris are respectable Natives of known position and
integrity." Answer—The Natives who have been ruined
by the Land-Shark Ring look upon the " Waka Maori" as
a god who rends men and swallows land. Third, the
" Waka" says, " In the pages of the old ' Waka' the
Maori ever found truthful and honest advice, not one
falsehood ever appeared in its columns during the thirteen
years of its publication." This is the answer—As the Hon
is known by his claws, so let all the Maoris learn to know
what the " Waka" will iu future be from its past and pre-
sent deeds, viz., Taranaki and Waikato wars. Fourth,
the " Waka" says, " It is because of the industrious work
of the Europeans on the land they have correctly bought, I
which made the Maori sorrowful, and hence the Maori
tried to make the title to such lands confused." This is |
the answer—This is truly a very untruth of the " Waka "
I ask, is this the meaning of its name by which it was
baptised, viz., justice, truth, and love? Far from it
but. rather it is like the act of Judas Iscariot
and the servant of the Prophet Gehaza Fifth,
the "Waka" says. "If the Natives of Napier
had listened to the words of the " Waka" in those
days, that they should not sell their lands to the European,
then they would not have had occasion to weep for the
vast quantity of their land which has been consumed iu
those days." This is the answer—It is like the tea-kettle
saying to the iron-pot, "you are a black man." Sixth, the
"Waka" says, " In days to come all the money the Maoris
can obtain for selling the lands he now has will be con-
sumed to feed the poor and starving lawyers who are to
gain redress for the Maoris." This is the answer—These
- Islands have again gained life by Karaitiana, and the
WANANGA, and his Government.

letter. It is good as it is, the upheaving of the heart of
love to my people and tribe, on account of ray having
seen that the monster who swallows men and laud is
again afloat. The orphans were glad when it was lost,
and they were in hope it was lost for ever, and let it be
even as the words of Bishop Selwyn—"That all the evil
deeds of days past must be cast aside for ever." But as
the " Waka" has been cast down and grown again, the
last state will be seven times worse than the first, and
will be like the seven devils cast out of the man. We
are not ignorant of the tone of the voice of the " Waka"
on its issuing ou its second voyage ; nor are we ignorant
of the acts of Mr. Judge Thomas and Mr. Atkinson,
who are doing all they can to mislead Te Whiti and
people at Taranaki, as we are not told that Mr. Judge
Thomas and Mr. Decimus Atkinson, brother to the late
Premier, are not members of the Board of Directors of
the " Waka Maori," hence the people are not ignorant as
to the object they have in view in doing as they are with
Rewi, Te Whiti, and the Maori people. They are doing
all they can to put this Government out, that the Go-
vernment of "Te Waka Maori" may get in. If the old
Government get in it will be like the act of Pope Clement
the Sixth, who contemptuously trod the Emperor Frederic
under his feet, when the 13th verse of the 91st Psalm
could be sung—"You can go on the lion, and snake, and
can tread on the young lion and dragon."

We went to Waipukurau to be present at the marriage of
the daughter of our old friend the Hon. H. R. Russell.
When we got to Waipukurau we heard that the Hon. H. R.
Russell would not be present at the marriage of his daughter
on account of his severe illness, as ho was not able to leave-
ins bedroom. Otene and I went to see the Hon. H. K. Russell,
and when we arrived at his house we sent our word to say we
were there and wished to see him. ' Mr. John Russell,
younger brother of the Hon. H. E. Russell, came to us and
said great is the illness of my brother, and the doctor has
given orders that not anyone is to go into his room. I said
the reason for my child and I coming is that we have brought
these goods as n gift of honour at the marriage of his
daughter. Mr. John Russell said it is well, let us go into the
office, where we presented oue mat, two korowai mats, one
greenstone eardrop. This eardrop of greenstone is au heir-
loom, and has been in our family for generations, even from
the days of the great chief Numia-i-te-rangi. down to us his
descendants, which is seven generations, and the name of that
eardrop is Numiaiterangi. I said to Mr John Russell, this is
a custom of our forefathers, and it is a custom which we
follow to give honour to our great chiefs when they take a
wife ; and since my child and myself have come to present
these things in honour of the marriage of the daughter of our
old friend, who has and is still endeavouring to obtain good
for us the Native tribes of these Islands. But we two did not
see him (the Hon. H. R. Russell), but you, Mr. John
Russell, can convey these presents to your child (neice). We
wish health to Mr. Russell and his lady. And we also wish long
life and peace to those who have been married, and may their
children live to be great in future generations and may they
all live in the protection of our Maker.
