ATTACK ON MAORIS.
MR THOMSON TAKEN TO TASK. (bi cable—peess association—copibight.) (austbalian and n.z.' cable association.) SYDNEY, November 19. The newspaper correspondents take Mr J. A. Thomson, the ex-M.L.C. from West Australia, to task for his attack on the Maoris One correspondent, signing himself "Pirite," claims that "the Maori has made his name as a fighting man and loyalist, and has demonstrated his citizenship in all walks of life, as lawyer, doctor, clergyman, and politician. In statesmanship, sportsmanship, and the professions he has won the right to be considered the equal, if not the superior, of the European." [Mr Thomson, on his return to Sydney from Auckland, said that the Maoris in New Zealand had been pandered to to such an extent that, in towns at least, they were becoming both arrogant and conceited, and were following in the steps' of the South African native, who will now push the whites off the footpath if they happen to block the way.]
