it. What is good for you is bad for
us. Tho, only Rood thiug you gave
us was education. But you gavo ui
other things with it. You Rave us
your diseanefl. Very bad disease?,
too, some of them. We did not
kuow hat consumption was before
you came. Now hundreds of tho
youiiR men and the young women
have got it. Rheumatism, too, wo
got from you; and have T uot myself
boun laid low with paralysis? And
has Wahanui not got tho gout?
Then, loo, wo got fever, and our
children die off with diphtheria.
Think, too, of tho thousands who
died with measles in ouo year. And
is thero uot small-pox? The Pake lea
goes to the hospital when he is ill
aud gets cured; iho Maori goes to
his whare and dies there. And
drinkl That is the worst disease.
That attacks all, old and young
alike. It kills the women as well as
the men. Look at the king. It is
killing him, and hid sons, too. You
give us clothes and blankets to keep
us warm, and when wo go without
them wo got cold, bo that they, ton,
cause trouble. No, Mr. Ballauce,
civilisation is good foryou, but it is
death to us."
Here, then! is the secret of tho
decay. While wo have given the
Maoris our diseases, we have not
bestowed on them tho mesas of
combating them. Tho mortality,
particularly among tho children, is
extraordinary. While travelling
through the King Country some
yenrs ago, I was forced by stress of
weather to speud tho night in a
whare at Kopua. Thero were about
twenty human beings, including
myself, huddled together in a space
about 20ft. by 12 ft., and thero was'
not a soul who was not wet through
Several wero already suffering from
luug disease, and, in addition to
lying about in wet clothes, they had
the disadvantage of having little or
nothing betwoen them and tho soft,
damp clay. To mo the experience
was almost fatil, but to my
so I might call them -it
was an every-day occurrence in the
wet season. Once sow the germs of
disease in suoh surroundings with
no village doctor or
to check the outbreak in its initial
stages, and time will do the remainder.
It in surprising that the
Govordment has not done something
to cluck the spread of disease among
thn native?.
' Another cause contributing to the
decay of the Maoris is the remarkable
choice displayed by some of
the tribes in tboir selection of a
settlement. In tho days of tho
wars it was customary to
select elevated table-lauds, hill-tops,
and mountain sides for pahs aud
kaingas', becauso of their greater
safety from a strategic point of view.
It was necessary to be high up and
secure from roprisals, but tho now
weapons aud methods of warfaro introduced
by the British altered all
this; aud hencoforth villages were
established iu the lowlying or
swampy regions. When King
convened his meeting of tho
tribes iu 1881, he fixed on
us the scene of his groat
encampment. Wuares and
were run up on a delta anklo
deep in mud, anil hero some thousands
of mon, women and children
lived and slept, with what consequences
to themselves may be
guessed. '
Tho hoary mortality among
women aud children is not lo be.
, wondered at. In tlio days beforo
horses and publio houses, Maori
womeu stayed at homo aud looked
after their little ones, Now they do
neither. As Maori children are
brought up under tho now conditions,
it is impossible for tho race to
hold its own. The mothers Hook
into the border towns, carrying
their children with Ihoui, A whole
family will get on oue horse, covering
Ihe animal from the oars to tho
tail, sex counting for nothing iu the
style of equestrianism adopted,
While tho paronfs roll aboul drunk
tho children must tako their chances
in the matter of food, and ll'ae children
under such conditions, eat
whatever couie in their way, To
llm add the combined effects of bad
weather and poor clothes porhaps
uo clothes at all and It nill not be
wondered at that the Maorics, as a
racf, are declining fast.
For ulauy years tho Maories hav6
boou drawn away from their settle
incuts to attend the Liud Courts in
tho border towns of Waikato,
Mauiwatu, und Tarauakl,
with tho most dreadful consequences
to thnmsflves. Hundreds
of thousands of pounds have' beau
paid ovor to thorn by tho land companies,
and every penny of tho
money has gono in tho wild indulgence
of every vicious propensity.
What they did not spotfd in dissoluteness
was taken from them by
tho "Kaiwakawakas" and the unscrupulous
European traders.
Ou tho top of all came the tangis,
or funeral feasts, of the native population.
A .Maori of distinction
will die of an infectious disease, and
all the tribq for miles around will
gather round his corpse, to whino
aud lament aud to eat aud drink. I
have seen as mtich as 100 paid over
to a grog merchant for supplies for
one of these wakes, and tho quality
of some of tho stuff served out was
so dreadful that the entire camp remained
in a stato of raaduess for
days after, porpotrating all kinds of
fantastic outrages. Thou tho deadly
infection from the corpso began
to toll, and for months tho taingis
would continue, as ono aftor another
tho luckless people dropped off, distorted
with disease.
Civilization has many great advantages
for tho Maories, as for
other races, but thero are two sides
to civilization; and, unhappily, the
New Zsalandors have known tbo
worst. . F. E. in the Australasian.

Tho physicians say there is little
