DEFYING THE TOHUNGA.
"AN DIMOKAL AND NEFARIOUS TRADE." m.y TelcEra D a.-SDeml Oorroaoondcnt.. 4* h ir ■• n * uck,a . nd . J™ 15. At the Maori Conference at Waahi vesterday, Mr. Henare Kailuvn, M.P., took 'the rohun.ga to task. Speaking of tie necessity tor the Maoris establishing loei.l committees to deal with sanitation and the prevention of drunkenness, Mr KaiJiau went on to say that closely connected with the liquor traffic was tohnllgaisin, an unmoral and nefarious trade carried on by immoral quacks and frauds who traded on ignorance. Their medicines were as atrocious as their persons and liquor of the worst kind formed the bases of their nostrums. For such there was only one place, and that place was gaol. These sentiments did not appear to be popular, nor did tho tohungas present accept the challenge, of Mr. Kaihaii, who invited them to como forward and inafcutu" him. The law to bo administered by tho various councils, said Mr. Kaiihau. must take cognisance of the tohunga charlatan, who was simply one of the worst relics of barbarism.
