W* regret to learn that the Ngaitonnand Ngatiawa tribes at Wnakatane are now engaged in a sanguinary struggle. The feud spears to have arisen out of a dispute about

tend. The Ngaitonu have lost it men in two encounters and the Ngaitawa 2 besides many wounded on both sides. How is it that the chiefs of these tribes do not see that by allowing ibese dissensions about land to grow to. actual strife they are destroying themselves. Of what use will the land be when the men who should occupy and cultivate it are gone/ What advantage do either party look for from prolonging this contest? mens lives are sacrificed and the probability is that the question at issue will.remain unsettled as before. When disputes arise about land the chiefs should try to arrange the matter amicably between themselves and if unable to do so, let both parties retire and leave the question for decision at some future time when it may be hoped their children or successors will have adopted some better mode of testing a claim than that of trying which party jean send the greater number of their opponents out of the world If we were askel to name the Maori's greatest enemy we are afraid we must say Himself. We believe the" Rgati'wbakaue are connected with the Ngaitonu but hope they will not allow themselves to be mixed np in this quarrel. Let the Ngatiwhakaue chiefs rather use their influence to restore, peace. The chief Topine Tukihaumene has generally given his word for peace—we hope be will do so in the present. These men who make and preserve peace are the wisest and best deserve the title ofchiefs. Let the Ngaitonu and Ngatiawa chiefs think of this. We hear the Tuhourangi have refused to join in this dispute.
