ANGLO-MAORI.
UN'TON OF THE RACES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. To-day at the Maori Congress, Messrs. L. Frasnr and Hemes, M.P.'s, delivered addresses on the question, "Has the time arrived for removing legislative distinctions between pakeha and Maori?" Mr. Fraser urged that the Maori should be placed on the same electoral roll as the pakeha, and allowed to vote for the candidate he thought best. Mr. Hemes agreed with him in the main, but he denied that there was any colour line, and said he thought they would mingle with the pakeha as one people. The Englishman was a mixture of Celt, Saxon, Norman, and Dane, and they produced a distinct nation. He hoped there would be this coming link of pakeha and Maori in New Zealand. He looked forward to the day when the future New Zealander would boast with the Anglo-Saxon of having Maori blood in his veins.
