THE MAORI RACE.
The present position of the Maori race was •dealt with by Mr. A. Hamilton, curator of the Dominion Museum, in a lecture at Wellington recently. "Of late years," he said, " there has been much said and written on the question of how best to help the people whom we have supplanted in this land. Within the last decade, what I believe to be a real forward movement on the part of the Maoris has been established, and shows signs of a steady growth, and I look forward with confidence to the establishment of a more complete understanding between the two races, an understanding which shall leave no latent suspicion behind. The best efforts of many of the most earnest workers have been discounted by a not altogether unjustified suspicion by the natives, for whoso benefit they wore intended, that the efforts were not altogether disinterested, and I feel sure that with a better understanding more justice and equity will bo introduced into our dealings with the Maoris than have ever been in the past."
