THE NAPIER ELECTION.

On Thursday last the first official proceeding in connection with the election took place.  The nomination, of which we give particulars in another column, has thrown considerable light upon the position of parties and the chances of the candidates.  It is now possible to make a tolerably accurate guess at the final result.

The “People’s William” came out in good form yesterday, and made a stump speech full of fun, of the kind which always amuses a hustings audience. Unfortunately, an amusing speech is not always a convincing one.  Mr Colenso said of the other candidates, “Let the boys play.”  We say of him, “Let the old man stop at home.”  The electors know what is good for him better than he does himself, and despite his own positive assurances to the contrary the voting on Thursday will secure for him that leisure to which he is so well entitled, and leave him free to proceed with the compilation of the Maori Lexicon. The electors as a whole do not favor geology as a study, and a fossil politician stands no chance.

We confess to feeling the liveliest commiseration for Messrs. Rhodes and Tiffen. The episode in the election of which they form the central figures is about the most touching we have come across since first we shed tears over the story “Babes in the Wood.”  What singular infatuation hath possessed those two quiet, respectable, well to do and harmless old gentlemen we cannot conceive. Mr Tiffen evidently has dismal forebodings, for we observe that he has been presenting the inhabitants of Taradale with four acres of land for a cemetery.  In ancient Sparta an unsuccessful candidate or law-giver was immediately hanged. Fortunately for Mr Tiffen that awkward law has no force in Hawkes Bay, or else it is certain that he would be the first person to avail himself of the Taradale burial ground.

A coolness seems now to have sprung up between Mr Rhodes and John Wesley, – at any rate, Mr Rhodes did not attempt yesterday to travel on the strength of his father’s acquaintance with the great English divine. So far as we could make him out, Mr. Rhodes now bases his claim to be returned upon the fact that when some twenty or twenty-five years ago a number of Wellington settlers, alarmed at a big earthquake, attempted to leave the colony, he was not amongst them.  Earthquakes are not of much account at elections, especially earthquakes of such hoary antiquity as the one to which Mr Rhodes refers.

It is evident that the real fight will be between Messrs. Buchanan and Sutton. Of all the candidates, the one who comes nearest Mr Buchanan in ability is Mr Sutton, but as his friend the Hawke’s Bay Herald says of him, ‘ It is a serious drawback to him that his Native transactions have been such as they were.”  Our aged morning contemporary follows up this slap in the face by the profound remark, “We cannot have everything, however.” Character may be wanting, but it never has been looked upon by the Herald as a necessary qualification.  Mr Sutton’s speech at the nomination amused us by its deliberate audacity.  The Boss Tweed of Napier says that all he wants is justice.  We have been of that opinion for a long time – no man requires it more, and no man is more likely to get it. The blind goddess has certainly moved with somewhat tardy footsteps, but she will not forget to knock at Mr Sutton’s door in good time. Mr. Sutton says that he has won all his cases.  He knows better – and would give a Jew’s eye to be released from the grip which the “Repudiation Party” have upon him at the present time.  Mr. Sutton also referred to Omarunui, and feigned to look upon himself as an injured man.  He knows in his heart of hearts that he has no claim to the sympathy of the people, and that nine out of ten even of his own personal friends admit that they cannot defend his action about the Omarunui Block.  Mr. Sutton in speaking stood upon the Bench, but there was another place in the Court from which the speech that he had ought to have made would have been more appropriately delivered.

Mr. Buchanan disappointed his opponents by not exploding as they expected.  He may have the temper and the courage of a lion, but he appears to be able to “roar to you as gently as a sucking dove.”  His speech was excellent both in style and matter, and no one could have left the meeting without being convinced both of his ability and sincerity.  We earnestly hope for the credit of Napier that he will be successful in the approaching contest, and we feel assure that the interest of the electorate could not be entrusted to any abler or honester man.

THE ELECTION.

On Saturday last Mr Buchanan addressed a meeting of the electors at the Wairoa.  He was very well received.  In response to many calls from the people present Mr. Sheehan also spoke, and he dealt chiefly with the questions arising out of what are called “The Hawke’s Bay Land Troubles.”  His speech was very favorably received by the meeting, and it is admitted on all sides that Mr. Buchanan will receive considerable support from the Wairoa electors.

THE Nomination of candidates took place on Thursday, the 8th.  Five candidates were proposed, namely – Messrs. Buchanan, Tiffen, Sutton, Rhodes, and Colenso.  We have not space to report the speeches of the various candidates, but it is only fair to say that all spoke well and in good taste.  Mr Colenso’s speech was the most amusing, and Nr.

TE OHIPERA O TE POROWINI O HAKU PEI, ME NGA TIKANGA E TAE AI TE MAORI KI TAUA OHIPERA.

E ki ana te Nupepa te Terekarawhe o te Weneri kua pahure tata nei .

“No te mane te 5 o Pepuere nei i tae mai ai tetahi tai tamaiti Maori ki Nepia nei, i haere mai aia i Turanga.  Ko Wi Porou tana ingoa.  A ko tana mate o nga tau maha noa atu he mate nona i tino pohe ai nga kanohi o Wi Porou. I haere mai aia ki i Nepia nei, tohu noa e mahia ana kanohi kia titiro ano ana kanohi ki te ao marama, a kia haere aia ki te Ohipera.  He pukapuka whakaatu mai i aia, ana i mau mai ai, kia Te Rota Peneha.  A e kiia ana, i mea a Te Wiripine Honiana o Turanga mana e utu nga mea mo Wi Porou ia Wi Porou e mahia ana i te Ohipera.  A titiro mata tau ana a Rata Peneha i nga kanohi o Wi Porou, a mea ana Rata Peneha, ki te mea ka haere a Wi Porou ki te Ohipera, tera pea e ora nga kanohi o Wi Porou.  A he mea unga te kupu ki te hunga ma ratou e whakaae te Maori e tapoko ai te Maori ki te Ohipera, e aua Pakeha.  He mea hoki na aua Pakeha, i haere mai a Wi Porou i te wahi mamao atu o te takiwa o te Ohipera.

Ohipera kia hoatu ano hoki a te Maori moni mo te Ohipera.  E hia ra nga moni a nga Maori o Heretaanga nei e hoatu ai ki te Ohipera ana rongo ratou i nga korero e kiia nei mo Wi Porou,” No muri ihho o te tuhi tuhinga o ana kupu a te Nupepa Te Terekarawhe, i tukua ai a Wi Potou ki te Ohipera.  He mea hoki kua tae mai te kupu a Te Kakanatanga i Poneke ki nga kai tiaki o taua Ohipera.  He mea na Te Kawanatanga kia tukua a Wi Porou ki te Ohipera.  E mea ana matou, kia tu te Ohipera hou, me te mahi i kiia nei e Te Terekarawhe i mahia nei kia Wi Porou.

THE PROVINCIAL HOSPITAL AND ADMISSION OF NATIVES.

The Daily Telegraph of Wednesday last contains the following Paragraph: –

“A young Maori from Poverty Bay, arrived in Napier on Monday afternoon.  His name is Wi Porou, and having been suffering from a severe eye disease for some years, that has rendered him totally blind, he came here for advice, thinking to obtain admission to the Hospital.  He brought letters of introduction to Doctor Spencer.  Mr. Woodbine Johnson, of Poverty Bay, we understand, guaranteed payment of all expenses that might be incurred by the native while in the Hospital.  Dr. Spencer examined the eyes of the patient, and expressed the thought that if he could be attended at the Hospital a recovery of eyesight might be secured.  Application was made at the proper quarter for the Maori’s admission to the Hospital, but the application was refused on the ground, we believe, that Wi Porou came from beyond the district!  Things have come to a pretty pass when the measuring tape has to be used to discover whether a sightless man can be admitted into a charitable institution, which, at the moment is going round with the bat amongst the Maori pahs for subscriptions.  How much will the Natives of Hawke’s Bay give to the Napier Hospital when they learn the case of Wi Porou?”

Since the above paragraph was written, the native above named has been admitted to the Hospital, a communication from Wellington to the Hospital, authorities having been received last evening requesting that he should be admitted.  We hope that when the new Hospital is established that cases of the kind referred to by the Telegraph will not again occur.

Since writing the foregoing, the Telegraph has complained of having being misinformed as to the guarantee of expenses.  We are aware that the statement was made upon what any reasonable person would consider sufficient authority.  But the question of expenses is to our mind a matter of very little moment – it is the refusal to admit the man whether his expenses were guaranteed or not.  The public hospital is mainly intended for those who have not the means of employing a medical practitioner in the usual way, and such happened to be the case with Wi Porou.

KORERO PAREMATA

He Korero enei no nga korero a te Komiti rapurapu i nga tikanga o nga mea ki te taha Maori, a he mea ta aua kupu e matou, ki te tikanga o aua korero i whakamaoritia ai e nga kai Whaka Maori o te Kaawanatanga.

Koia nei nga kupu a tetahi waea.  He tino kupu nga kupu o taua waea, he korero na Te Rata Porena ratou ko nga Rangatira Maori o Waikato. I tu taua korero ki Kaipiha i Waikato. E mea ana matou, kapai ano kia kiia, he tino kupu aua hei waere i te ara e tae ai te oti ki te oti.  E ahua ki ana te whakaaro i tino marama nga kupu a Te Rata Porena, a kahore i huna e Te Rata Porena nga tino whakaro a te tangata korero pono.  A mei penei pea he korero ki te Maori i nga ra kua pahure nei, penei kua kitea te pai o tenei tu korero hangai tono ki te pono me te tika.

Pepuere te 2 o nga ra.  Ko Te Minita Maori, me Kanara Roena, me Te Wheoro, i haere ki Kaipiha, he mea unga e Manuhiri i haere ai ratou ki reira.  A i haere tahi atu ano hoki a Te Make raua ko Meiha Mea, i taua haere.  He tini nga Rangatira, me nga tamariki a Potatau i haere ki taua korero.

Na Takerei te rau i hoatu te puka puka kia Te Rata Porena, e kiia ana ko nga kupu a tau pukapuka, he korero na Ta Tanara Makarini raua ko Tawhiao, he kupu whakaae na Ta Tanara Makarini kia mahia e Tawhiao nga mahi o taua Takiwa ake.

Ka mea a Te Rata Porena, ki te mea ka kitea te tino pono o te kii, i whakaae a Ta Tanara Makarini ki te tahi mea, ka wahakamana e Te Kawanatanga, nga tino kupu i whakaaetia e Ta Tanara Makarini.  Otiia e ki ana a Te Rata Porena, ko te mea tuatahi e rapu rapua ai, mehemea e whakaae ana nga Maori o taua hui, kia mahi tahi ratou i te Kawanatanga, kia mau tuturu ai te ata noho o te iwi, a kia mana ano hoki nga Ture.  A ki te mea koia ra te hiahia o nga Maori, penei, katahi ano ka tika kia kiia he Takiwa mo Tawhiao ratou ko ana tangata, a hei taua takiwa e mahi ai i nga tikanga mo ana tangata, otiia ki o te Ture tikanga ana mahi e mahi ai.

I whakaaetia te kupu tuatahi.  Kihai i whakakahoretia te kupu tuarua, i mea ano ia nga Rangatira Maori, me ata rapu rapu e te whakaaro nga tikanga o taua kupu.  Katahi ka uia te patai. “Me pehea nga whenua i Waikato”  E kore e tino oti nga tikanga, kia tino oti ano nga mahi mo era.

Ka mea a Te Rata Porena.  Kahore kau he tikanga e korero noa ai te korero mo Waikato ko nga whenua o roto o Waikato kua tino riro rawa atu (ki te tini o te Pakeha).  A ki te mea ka ki ano te Kawanatanga kia whakahokia aua whenua ki te Maori, e kore e taea te whakahoki ki te Maori, no te mea kua tino riro rawa atu i te tini o te Pakeha.  Ki te mea ka whakaae a Tawhiao, ki te kupu tuatahi, me te kupu tuarua a Te Rata Porena, a hei muri o taua whakaae a Tawhiao, ka tono a Tawhiao i tetahi wahi whenua o Waikato kia hoatu ki aia, ka hoa tu [hoatu] he wahi whenua mana.

He nui noa atu nga korero, a ka puta te kupu a Te Tuki, ka mea, ko nga tikanga o te whenua i riro i te uru a te patu me waiho noa iho nga korero mo era, taihoa ano aua mea e mahi.  He whenua ano ia i tukua e nga Maori kia Potatau.  A kihai i tika kia mahia aua whenua, e te Maori e te Pakeha ranei, i muri o te wa i tukua ai aua whenua kia Potatau.

MEETING OF NATIVE MINISTER WITH CHIEFS OF THE KING PARTY IN WAIKATO.

We republish below a very important telegram giving an account of the interview which has recently taken place between the Honourable Dr. Pollen and several influential chiefs of the King Party at Kaipiha, in Waikato.  We hope that we may be right in seeing in this interview something like the beginning of the end.  The Hon. Dr. Pollen appears to have spoken out manfully, and without disguise, and it would have been well for the Maori people if they had been treated in the same manner in the past.

February 2.

The Native Minister, accompanied by Colonel Lyons and Te Whero, visited Kaipiha, at the invitation of Manuhiri and his party.  They were joined by Mr. Mackay and Major Mair. Several influential chiefs and members of the Potatau family were present.

Takerei Te Rau handed in a document which purported to be the report of the result of an interview with the late Sir Donald McLean, in which it had been promised that Tawhiao should administer the affairs of his own district.

Dr. Pollen said that any promise which could be distinctly proved had been made by Sir D. McLean would be carried out by the Government; but he thought the proper way to proceed was to ascertain, firstly, if the Natives present were willing to act in concert with the Government in maintaining peace and upholding the law; secondly, if such was the de-

sire, then a district might be set aside for Tawhiao and his people, within which he could administer the affairs of his people, subject to law.

The first proposal was approved of, and the second was not objeccted to; but the chiefs said it required further consideration.

A question was then asked – “How about the Waikato lands? We cannot well arrange anything until that is finally disposed of.”

Dr. Pollen said: – “It is no use alluding to Waikato.  The lands inside it are absolutely gone, and even if the Government desired to return them to the Natives, they could not, as they have passed into the hands of Europeans.  If Tawhiao consented to the first and second proposals, and then asked for a piece of land within Waikato, it would be given to him.”

After some considerable discussion, it was suggested by Te Tuki that the direction of the land acquired by conquest should be left in abeyance.  Certain lands had been handed over to Potatau, and it was not right for the Natives or Europeans to deal with them after their cession to Potatau.

Dr. Pollen recited the names of the Natives who had handed them to Potatau, and said they had since altered their minds and disposed of the lands to the Government and to private persons.  All he and the law courts required was that the rightful owners of the lands were the people to deal with them.  As to Tawhiao, he could do as he pleased with his own lands as to selling or leasing, or with the lands of the tribes within his own district, which also wished to retain their property in their own hands.  The Government wished to protect every man in the disposal of his own property.  Where lands had passed through the Native Lands Court, and the title fairly obtained, the Government had no right to interfere either for or against sale or lease by grantees unless it could be proved that the title was obtained by fraud.  The Native Minister said he did not recognise the right of Tawhiao or anyone to interfere where the Native owners were willing that roads or other public works should be made: and in cases where the title was vested in Europeans, the Crown had a right to carry on public works, and not a Native ought to interfere.

It was agreed by both sides, after some discussion, that the question of maaking the line of road beyond the place on purely Native land should stay over until they came to submit the first proposals of Tawhiao.

It was agreed that Dr. Pollen should be furnished with a report of Tawhiao and Manuhiri’s views, and should be asked to return to Alexandra to discuss them.

TE WHENUA MO TE KARETI (TE KURA) I TE AUTE.

Ka ui a Henare Rata, ki te Koroniara Hekeriteri.  Kua pehea te mahi a Te Kawanatanga mo te kupu a Te Paremata Ariki i ki ai i tera tunga o Te Paremata, mo te whenua o to Kura i Te Aute? A mo etahi whenua ano hoki i homai e te Maori, a e Te Kawanatanga mo nga Kura?  A me korero hoki eia te kupu a Te Paremata Ariki i ikorero ai mo aua whenua i tukua mo nga Kura.

Tuatahi.  He mea tika ko te tino take i kiia ai nga Kura. (ara ko nga Kura hei ako i te Maori) kia mahia onutia aua tikanga i enei ra nei ano.

Tua-rua.  Ko nga whenua katoa kua homai mo nga Kura, ahakoa na te Maori aua whenua i homai, na Te Kawanatanga ranei i homai aua whenua, o nga Hahi katoa, ko aua whenua me tuku ma tetahi a nga Tari o Te Kawanatanga e whakahaere nga tikanga mo aua whenua.

Tua-toru.  A ko nga kai tiaki o aua whenua, me mahi e ratou nga tuhi tuhi e kitea ai te mahinga o nga moni o aua whenua e pau ai.  A hei muri tata o te 31 o Tihema oia tau oia tau, ka tuku mai ai e aua kai tiaki o aua whenua, nga korero o nga moni e pau ana, me nga korero ano a aua kia tiaki, mo aua Kura.  A ma Te Kawana e mea te tikanga o aua korero, a kia tukua mai aua puka puka ki te ahua tikanga korero e ki ai.

Tua-wha.  A me tuku mai aua korero ki te kai titiro kauta a Te Kawanatanga.  A ko aua puka puka, me nga korero a aua kia tiaki me tuku mai kia kite Paremata, i ia tunga, i ia tunga, o te Paremata.

Tua-rima.  A ko aua puka puka me mahi kia taia ki te WAKA MAORI i ia tau i ia tau, kia mohio ai te Maori ki aua whenua i hoatu e ratou mo nga Kura.

Ka mea a Te Rata Porena.  E pouri ana aia, no te mea ko tana kupu utu mo te patai a Henare Rata, he penei atu ta Te Rata Porena, kahore ano i mahia taua mahi.  E mea ana aia a Te Rata Porena, tetahi wahi o te he, i te mea hoki, ko te mahara ona kihai i tino mata tu tonu, i ahua ware ware aia ki te kupu a Te Paremata Ariki i ki ai.  Otiia i ki ano aia i te ki nei, mona anake te mahara hei maharatanga e mohiotia ai taua kupu a Te Paremata Ariki, a kahore hoki he kupu i tuhi tuhia ake e Te Paremata nei, kia mohiotia ai e te Kawanatanga te kupu i kiia e Te Paremata nei.  E mea ana aia, ka nui ano te pai, ki te mea ka kiia te kupu a tenei Paremata Ariki, me tuhi tuhi rawa ano aua kupu ki te puka puka ka tuku ai taua pukapuka ki te Kawanatanga.  Penei, kua tino noho rawa taua kupu ki te puka puka, a e kore e ware ware i te mahara a te Apiha o Te Kawanatanga, a e kore e hopohopo te whakaaro, a e mahia te mahi i kiia e Te Paremata Ariki.  Otiia, kihai i kiia te kupu a Te Paremata ne i ki Te Kawanatanga, koia taua kupu e uia nei e Henare Rata i kore ai e mahia.

Ka mea Te Tumuaki o Te Paremata, e ahua whakapae ana nga kupu a Te Rata Porena ki aia, a ka korero aia i nga tikanga o taua mahi. I nga wa e kiia ai nga mahi kia mahia, ka tuhi tuhia nga kupu o taua mahi ki te pukapuka a ka tukua ki te Kawanatanga.  A mana ma Te Tumuaki o Te Paremata e tuku taua tu pukapuka ki te Kawanatanga. A kahore ana mahara, kihai taua pukapuka i tukua ki te Kawanatanga. A e hara i nga Apiha o Te Paremata nei te mahi ware ware.

Ka mea a Te Rata Porena. E hara ana kupu i te kupu whakapae ki te Tumuaki o te Paremata.  He mea kau atu tana ta Te Rata Porena i te tikanga e tika ai te mahi.

Ka mea a Kanara Witimoa.  E mea ana aia, tena pea aua kupu kei te puka puka e mau ana a kua tiakina e Te Rata Porena.  He mea hoki nana na Kanara Witimoa, kua whakaae te Kawanatanga kia mahia te mahi i kiia e te Paremata nei, koia i kore tonu ai e tohea e Te Paremata nei te kupu e uia nei e Henare Rata.

Ka mea Te Tumuaki, e kore e pai kia korerotia ano taua mea nei.  Engari me motini taua kupu ki te Paremata nei.

PARLIAMENTARY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

WELLINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTORER 27, 1876.

TE AUTE COLLEGE ESTATE.

The Hon. Mr Russell asked the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, What steps, if any, the Government have taken to carry out the resolution of this Council, passed last session in regard to the Te Aute College Estate and other educational trusts arising from donations by the Maoris or from the Government?  With the permission of the Council, he would read the resolutions to which his questions referred: –

“(1.)  It is expedient that the main object of the trust – namely, the formation of a school for the aboriginal inhabitants – should be carried out without delay.  (2.)  That all educational trusts arising from donations by the Maoris or from the Crown to any denomination should be connected with some one of the departments of Government.  (3.)  That the trustee or trustees of such properties should send in to such department, immediately after the 31^st December of each year, an account of the receipts and expenditure of the past year, with a report of the condition of the school under the trusts, in a form that may be directed to be adopted by the Governor in Council.  (4.)   That these accounts should be forwarded to the Commissioners of Audit, and their report, together with the reports above referred to, should, at the commencement of each session, be laid before Parliament.  (5.)  That these reports and abstracts should be published annually in the “Waka Maori,” for the information of the Maori race.”

The Hon. Dr. Pollen was sorry to have to give the honourable gentleman the answer that no steps had been taken in this matter.  He was obliged to take partly to himself the blame for that, inasmuch as his memory ought to have been better than it was, and he ought not to have forgotten the fact that resolutions of this kind were adopted by the Council.  But he thought he might very fairly plead this excuse: That the whole matter was left to depend upon his individual memory, and that no communication of the Council on this subject was made formally to the Government.  It would be very convenient, he thought, when resolutions of this kind were adopted by the Council, to move that a copy should be transmitted to the Government. It would then become a matter of record, and it was to be taken.  As in this matter no direction of the kind was given; and it was owing to that fact that no action had been taken in the matter.

The Hon. the speaker said that what the Colonial Secretary had just stated might reflect on the conduct of the Speakers of Parliament, if he were not to make some explanation. It was usual, when any resolution like that in question was considered desirable to be brought under the notice of the Government, to mention the fact, and a copy was transmitted to the Government; and it was his duty to forward a copy of the resolution to the Colonial Secretary on behalf of the Government.  He was not aware that there had been any neglect in the matter, or that the failure which had occurred had been owing to any want of attention on the part of the officers of the Council.

The Hon. Dr. Pollen hoped the Hon. the Speaker would not think for a moment that he attributed any want of attention to him in the matter.  He simply stated the fact, and pointed out what he thought might remedy the defect in the future.

The Hon. Colonel Whitmore hoped the honorable gentleman representing the Government had himself kept copies and a record of those resolutions of the Council, which members had been content to withdraw on the promise that notice would be taken by the Government.

The Hon. the Speaker suggested that a discussion on the point would be rather out of order, and the honourable gentleman had better make the matter the subject of a resolution.

CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.

This is another word to you.  I have a female pig, which you can notice in your paper for the information of the Maori and European.  This pig has had young ones, twelve in all, two of which have been eaten by another pig.  I now have ten young pigs. One of these, which was born with the rest, has only three legs; the fourth leg was not made complete by God.  Hence, I think I ought to let this be known.  The fourth leg was placed so close to the tail.  It was born in September last, on the 20^th day, in the year 1876. I have not spoken of this before, as I wished to see if it would live. It is living in Kaiiwi now. I think this is the first of such which has ever been seen here. But here is also another thing I wish to be known.  We have a dog which has two noses, but only nostrils, and a fowl with two heads; and an egg with two yolks.  Also, a caterpillar which came from the clouds.  It has two bodies, but only one head.   All these things are from this place only.  But all have died, and the pig only is alive. These were sent by God.  These are all the words from

Friend, let my Maori and European friends see my words. On the 3rd day of July I lost my canoe, and on the 5th day I went in search of it.  I went all the way to the mouth of the Ngaruroro river, but I did not find it, and on my return I saw an European who told me that Mick had my canoe.  I sent Hare to him to give the canoe to me.  Mick asked four bags of potatoes for his trouble.  Hare gave him £1 4s potatoes worth.  This was an exorbitant charge – but perhaps you Europeans do this because it is your custom to act so towards us the Maori.  Do you hearken.  When Mr Brown lost his canoe and I caught it, he came to me for it and gave five shillings.  I let him have the canoe.  The bridge at Omahu was broken by a flood this year, and I caught two very large posts belonging to it, which I gave up to the man who came for them, without payment.  After that a boat came adrift from up the river.  I caught it.  I gave this boat to the owner, and did not ask for, nor did I receive any payment for catching it.  Hence I say Mick did not do justly with me.  Do not be weary with my words.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.

O, FATHER, salutations to you in the power which you have to send the WANANGA to those who wish to read it in all parts of these Islands; for this reason I run to you, so that you may put my words in to the WANANGA to be seen by the Maori and the European.  Let it be put into both languages.  Maybe you have a small part of your paper which will hold my words.  You can put the great and good words in the cabin of the ship which are for the good of the body of man.  I must stop these words of introduction, and go in a direct line to what I wish to say.  On the 1st day of April, in the year 1876, some Europeans came here – that is, Captain Harman and Mr Brown Berry.  The Captain had many sores on his feet, and Mr Brown was consumptive.  I do not now speak of Europeans who have come here in years past; but when they went from this, after them came five other Europeans,

TE WANANGA.   61

on the 5th of December, 1876 (they were) Samuel Perry, Mr Perry, and A. Perry, with Mr Noran with two European ladies.  They had come from Taranaki and had been informed of the peculiar properties of the springs of Rotorua by Mr Brown Berry.  They had been told by him that at this place were numerous waters of many kinds to bathe in, and to drink, as he (Mr Brown) had discovered while here, one spring of which he did drink, which cured him of the sickness he was troubled with; and Mr. Samuel Berry also discovered another spring, which is very powerful to cure all diseases which are on the skin, such as pimples and rash.  All the people, men and women, are extremely delighted, as all the diseases on their bodies were driven away by the water springs here, and those people went from this place on the fourth of January, 1877.  The Europeans have found many springs in which the sick can bathe, also many springs have been discovered, the waters of which are good to drink; but there are numberless springs that have not yet been tested, but perhaps a Doctor may look at these, and he may discover in them curing properties for all the diseases which afflict man.  Truly the sons of Tiki (the Creator of Man) the Europeans go to and fro in search of health for their bodies: hence I say do not suppose we are desirous of keeping these springs a secret matter, and that we hide that which may cure the ills of the body of man.  I do not, of course, speak of those diseases which kill man, which the Creator has made, as spoken of in the Scriptures, which though a Doctor may attempt to cure, they cannot be cured, but those diseases which are not from the Creator, such can be cured though there be no doctor on such springs as these, hence, perhaps, the numerous Europeans come here to these springs, Enough. – From your Friend,

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.]

Do you put the following words into TE WANANGA, so that they may be seen by the chiefs of Porangahau, viz., Henare Matua, Paora Ropiha, Ropiha Te Takou, Aperahama Te Whakaanga, Hoori Ropiha, Reihana Huripoki, Wiremu Patene, Hoani Waikato, and that the chiefs of Napier also may see it, viz.., Te Hapuku, Tareha, Henare Tomoana, Renata Kawepo, Karaitiana Takamoana, Noa Te Hianga, Hawaiikirangi, Paora Kaiwhata, Tamati Maruhaere.

Friends, salutations to you.  Pineaha, Mahauariki Minister of Manawatu, has informed us of your intention to invite him to come to you to be your minister: that you have sent a messenger named Hoori Ropiha, to take  your letters to him, also, he (the Messenger) was to bring Pineaha to you.  You also say that you will not cease to ask for Pineaha.  Also, you have sent your request to Bishop Hadfield, at Wellington, that his Lordship acceed to your request in respect to the Rev. Pineaha Mahauariki.  This is the word to you. Great is the good of your vote in respect to a new minister for you, for that part of our district, who is asked for that he may build up the Church in Christ. It is good.  Build up your faith. But I will shew to you, part of the work which is being carried on the Wairarapa district, in the four years.  It is this:  In those four years his Lordship Bishop Hadfield of Wellington has been searching for ministers for Wairarapa, and has not found any (men to fill the office). And he was forced to appoint the Rev. Pineaha Mahauariki as minister for Wairarapa.  He has been to see us, and has gone back to bring his wife and children.  On his arrival at Manawatu, he met your letter of invitation, and hence he informed us of the matter.  This is a word to you: Cease to ask for this minister; leave him for this part of our district, as he has been appointed by the Bishop and Synod of the Church.  Karaitiana Takamoana has been informed of this by us. You have that one of our ministers, the Rev. Williams, in your midst.  But, do you hearken: we, and our European friends have great love to the Rev. Pineaha Mahaariki, and wish him to stay with us.

From your friend,
IHAIA TE WHAKAMAIRU,
MASTERTON.

Friend, Haia, – We have seen your letter.  Your word is good; but yours is from yourself alone.  We, all the tribes here, say to those of our tribes who are with you, let the tribes, the Church, and the Bishop answer our request for Pineaha Mahauariki.  Then, and only then, shall we see that our word has been answered.

From your friends,
Karaitiana Takamoana,
Henare Tomoana.
