IMPROVED VIEW OF NATIVE AFFAIRS.
Referring to the Native Reserves Bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr Bryce, the Wellington Post says: “ The Bill was criticised freely and independently by both sides of the House. How thoroughly party lines were ignored on this occasion may be imagined when it is mentioned that the supporters of the Bill included Messrs Macahdrew, Holmes, Dodson, and Sheehan; its opponents, Messrs Conolly, Weston, Stevens and others., Whatever the result may be so far as the bill is concerned, it is a most cheering sign to find native affairs at last removed from their very improper position as a party stalking-horse and placed on the right footing of an important national question. This affords the best promise that the settlement of the native difficulty will be a permanent one, and that iu a few years it will come to be looked on as wholly a thing of the past. In the interests of both races this is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
