THE FEELING ON THE WAR,
The Maori war is the colonial subject that now absorbs almost exclusive attention. Nobody seems to doubt how the war will end, but everybody laments that it had ever begun. The situation has evidently been perplexed by circumstances arising out of what we may venture to call the double Government of the colonies. The war itself, sanguinary as it is, and likely to be productive of the most serious consequences to the future interests of New Zealand, is, after all, of comparatively minor importance. The ultimate considerations to which it inevitably leads, affecting the relations of the dependencies of the mother country, are far graver than any immediate results flowing from the war. There must be much forbearance and calm judgment exercised on both sides; and as there is a mutual stake upon the issue, it may be reasonably hoped that the final settlement may be mutually satisfactory. —Home News.
