Mottxoa Monument. —His Honor the Superintendent will unveil the Moutoa Monument recent ly erected in the Market Place by the Provincial Government, at 3 p.m. this day. The brave men who last year fell at Moutoa, and whose 'memory this monument will commemorate, were led by chiefs who were fully alive to the importance of
the decided step which they took in supporting British authority within these districts. They were aware that persistent rebellion would eventually exterminate the Maori race, and that whilst they fought to maintain law and order, they were, by that course, displaying a true patriotism to their own countrymen. Those brave men will not be forgotten, and the monument erected to their memory will, we trust, be often looked upon by the natives of these districts as indicative of that bond of union which should ever unite the two races in laboring to promote the mutual interests of both.—Wanganui Times.
