How History is Written
How history is written is shown by a story here current anent Native affairs. Some people ascribe the settlement of the Maori difficulty to Mr Bryce's stern will. Wiser people aver that 45,000 savages must always yield to 500,000 Europeans. It was, however, reserved for the new mathematical professor at Auckland to reveal to us the true solution of this intricate problem. Thirsting for knowledge, this Senior Wrangler asked our Agent-General in London whether there was likely to be any more trouble with the Maoris. '.'Sir," Sir Francis Bell replied, " make your mind quite easy on that matter. I settled the native difficulty before I left the colony!" — Lyttelton Times.
