To nakoe, Alitta Edita, 1 like to get; (e koreru wit you pout te politic. That’s rigid, Hone; sit down and help yourself to the tovere. M’erva, I peon te meeting ami hear to korero py Alitta Hirria. and Mill a Nooman. 1 worry sorry for te pakeha, lis man too slow. I like te Salwation Army for te better talk. Py korrv, Alitta Hirria and Nooman he want te ginger—he like lie worry sorry he ha t to talk. lat not lika (e Maori raugilirawhen he get te korero. M’hen le Maori talk all te tribe want to light, and dance te haka, but when tis pakelm talk ewery one want to sleep. Yes, the Alaori is, a born orator, Hone, and I have been privileged to hear them deliver orations which could not fail to stir the blood. Tat right; tat le way! But if te Maori hang down - te head and look like lie got te bad pain in te inshide, he onlv te tutim.

Bid I. want to know why Alitta Nooman he always wear te leggin for? He not te clerk of to course, when be get te korero, isjt? That’s rather personal, Hone. You know he has lo travel a good deal, and must study personal comfort.

He te farmer, too! And le farmer- he wear le leggin. and le Rod Fed he wear te red tie; (at it! Worm, I link te politic le funny game. Hirria terra to people I’d! Alassey ho md le friend- for te poor man, his Gowenneid only look alter te fat man. If he rule te country le poor man get te small pay, and work werrv hard lor te fat man, and te fat man grab all te land. A\ erra, tat make me larp!

And if he te bos-, lie don’t know it. He like le sheep, when one break away ail te rest run, and he don’t know where he running. You mean to say, Hone, that men and women do not appreciate the glorious privilege of universal franchise? I dunno tat talk. But he like te sheep alright, and when lie not lika te sheep he get te good Oowerment, and oworybody get a place in te sun, and ewery body happy. But I tink long time yet before te lion and te lamb feed in te same paddock, pecause money te god.
