NATIVE LANDS.
Air Alassey does not see any harm in a European landowner exacting from lessees the uttermost farthing for the privilege to occupy his land. It is a virtue. Indeed, Air Alassey’s whole political life is spent in _ protecting the European landowner's right to do as he chooses with liis land. When the vultures who have fixed their acquisitive eyes upon the native lands, which they intend to grab (just as their kind grabbed similar lands in the early days) if the .people will let them—when these insatiables urge that the native owners should be treated as European owners are treated, they expose the utter unreasonableness of their demands that the natives should he compelled to sell, not lease, their lands—“Oamaru Mail.”
