Matters on the West Coast appear to be assuming a very ( seriousl aspect, from the fact that Titokowaru has joined the malcontents of Parihaka, with followers to the number of 200. This noted old rebel gave considerable trouble in former days, and has cost the colony many a thousand pounds in attempts to capture him, and yet notwithstanding that his former sins were forgiven him, and he was allowed to live in peace: in his settlement, he takes the first opportunity to show his antipathy to the Government, and that the seditious spirit is yet as rampant as ever in his breast. He is a good example of what Europeans may expect in return for generosity and kindness shown the Maori: treat them with leniency and they imagine you are afraid of them, but treat them with firmness and frighten^them, and they respect you. The sooner the Government accepts this as the position and acts from such a standpoint the sooner may we hope to see an end to the Maori troubles of the colony.
