Natives and Europeans.
Ito tub editor.J Sih, —I see the native athletes are holding their own in the British Isles, while the Maori chiefs are master of the situation between Napier and Tauranga. Some of them have leased their land to the Europeans on the condition that the native workmen have all the work they can do on the stations, such as shearing, harvesting, and fencing, dkc. So the chiefs draw their rent, the natives their wages, and the European workman is handicapped out of the country. If a native has lost, his land one of the chiefs will say to him, " You have no land ; go and cultivate such a slace5 lace and grow food for yourself and family.” here is humanity in that which you will seek for in vain amongst European land owners. To my mind the Maori is very much master of the position, either intellectually or humanly.—l am, eto ,
