OTAGO.
The Otago newspapers make some sensible remarks in reference to the introduction of the Maine Liquor Law into New Zealand. `lt is startling to every one who contemplates it for the first time,' says the 'Otago Witness,' 'yet. its professed object is of so benevolent a nature, that it is difficult to offer any objection, without being open to the charge of standing in the way of the public good.' We know what the opinion of the Maori population is on this subject, namely, that the Maine Law is only a and must of necessity fail. We cannot help respecting this opinion, and adopting it as our own.
