CITY POLITICS.
The Wellington, Evening Post is quite, impossible as a critic of questions affecting the rural population. When the land policy of the Government is exposed in its nakedness,, tllie Post, which only recently declared that the Government should be ousted, rises in its pious wrath and flagellates, with gory ink of phraseology, those who are responsible for the exposure. The Post is either wilfully perverse in its reasoning, or deplorably ignorant of the facts relating to land settlement in this country. When it defends the Government in its treatment of the Native lands, it displays a want of knowledge, of itihe subject which is simply lamentable. Everybody who knows anything of the Native question admits- that the trend of legislation in the past has .beam to create a. Native aristocracy at the expense of the European population. If the Evening Post cannot appreciate the position as it appears to those who are acquainted witlh the subject, it should make just a little enquiry f-rom somebody who knows.
