TE WANANGA. Karaitiana Takamoana The Te Wananga. Published every Saturday SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1876. CONCERNING THE NATIVE DEPARTMENT. OF all the mysterious institutions which the world has seen, none can bear comparison with the Native de- partment of New Zealand. Although it is a public office, supposed to be under the scrutiny of public opinion and the surveillance of Parliament, the public, and the representatives of the public, know as much, about its internal organisation as they do about the social economy of the inhabitants of the moon. Efforts without number have been made for many years by some of the leading public men of the Colony to unveil the mazes of the Native office, to lift the veil which obscures the movements and functions of so many well paid and easy going public servants from the light of day, but the task has always been beyond the strength of those who have undertaken it, to perform. Attempt after attempt has failed signally, and each failure has left the venerable institution a greater mys- tery than before. Bat while the public are completely in the dark as to the internal constitution and organisa- tion, of the Native Department, they have a knowledge only too full and painful of its corrupting influences and its bungling work, and of the enormous cost at which it is perpetuated at the expense of the country. It is not necessary to quote authorities as to the cor- ruption and bungling which pumeate the whole de- partment. Such things are matters of contemporary history, verified by the unanimous verdict of the country from the North Cape to the Southern boundary of the "Colony. There may be differences of opinion about the wisdom of sinking the Colony into debt, or about the necessity for abolishing the Provinces, but there baa been for years but one opinion as to the honesty or usefulness of the Native office. Now, at to the question of cost, when we said that the question of cost was one upon which the people of the Colony «rere well informed, we do not mean to imply anything more than that they know to their sorrow the lump tam which they have to pay for the maintenance of an institution which they distrust and defeat. Although for years past the Colony has been called upon to find money by hundreds of thousands of pounds for Native purposes, the people have never had the slightest information or detail of the expenditure and distribution of the amounts banded to the Native office. Of course any one with his eyes open can form some idea of bow the money goes. It is only necessary to glance at the vast array of over paid and incompetent mischievous officials who hold the North Island like an army of occupation, to be satisfied that an enormous burden is entailed thereby on the tax-payers of the Colony. It is not only that situations are given to European friends of the powers that be, but there is besides in existence a system of paying salaries to Natives for no earthly object that we can discern, except to stop their months. In come districts of the North Island a short time since, nearly every adult member of a tribe held a paid appointment under the Govern- ment. Then were Magistrates, Magistrates clerks and policemen, and then to make sufficient vacancies, there were policemen's clerks also. Through, a channel so capacious, and so absorbing any amount of money would disappear rapidly, and it would require the financial genius of a dozen Vogels to keep ihe supply equal to the demand. Then again look at the large amount of money doled oat to the Natives in supplies of food and clothing. We only can say one thing with, certainty of this, namely, that these favors are generally con- ferred upon the least deserving of the many applicants to the Native Minister. A case now happening under our very eyes will also throw some light upon the comparatively unknown favoring of the Native De- partment. We refer to the visit of the Native Minister to this place. For a period of nearly four months the Province of Hawke's Bay has rejoiced in the personal presence of the Native Minister. With the Native Minister has been an under-secretary, a private secre- tary, an accountant, and a couple of orderlies. To see the Native Minister, a large number of functionaries of the department, have come from all parts of the North Island. All this is done at the expense of the public. The travelling allowance of a Minister is three guineas per day, and the other officers will have been performing the koutou in the august presence at rates varying according to rank from two guineas a day to ten shillings. Then there is the cost of passages and a heap of miscellaneous expenses, in the contract- ing or constructing of which the officers are faciles principes. We leave the reckoning of the cost of this single visit to those who are fond of figures, but we will hazard the assertion that an amount has been thus expended which, would go a long way towards paying the cost of the " Bridge " so long talked of, and so frequently promised to connect Port Ahuriri with, the Taupo road at the Spit. Another question, viz., how

TE WANANGA. the important—ay, the momentous business of the Native Department can be carried on during the pro- n longed absence of the Native Minister from the seat of Government, we leave to that honorable gentleman s himself to answer to the Assembly, promising only that he is sure to be asked the question. The last question, arising out of the special instance under con- sideration is this : ** what has the Native Minister been doing here all this time, at such frightful expense to the public." We do not lose sight of the fact that he is a resident in this Province, and we admit his right from time to time to devote himself for a reasonable period towards looking after his own private affairs. But even he will hardly say that he has taken nearly four months out of the time which is the property of the public, inasmuch as they pay for it, to return to his personal affair. The public business which he has had to do, has not been nearly sufficient to occupy bis time ? What then has he been doing ? In the ab- sence of positive information, we are compelled to draw conclusions from sundry facts which have come under our notice. Oar theory is that there is a connection yet to be explained between the delay of the Native Minister in Napier, and the Maoa East Coast election. It is notorious that the strongest efforts were made by prominent Gov ernment officers to keep out Karai- tiana Takamoana, and perhaps but for the over-zeal of one of those gentlemen in canvasing his district for the Government candidate, the department would have come off victorious. Since the election, two important Native, chiefs have come from the Poverty Bay district St the instance of the Native Minister to confer with him about the same matter. The game appears to be to get Keepa to withdraw in favor of a Government man, and thus to combine all the forces of the Go- vernment against Karaitiana. We also understand that Te Keepa will not retire unless all his expenses are paid, and we feel sure that if this is the case, some method will be discovered by which they may be paid out of public money. What a spectacle is this ! The . great ** Taniwha," whose word was supreme throughout the Native districts a few years ago, is compelled to fall back upon intrigue and electioneering trickery to secure the return of a supporter in the district in which he has resided for years, and where he ought to have the largest influence. But the sorrow which we feel for fallen greatness is changed into angar, when we reflect that these desperate efforts to retain power are being made at the expense of a people who are already taxed almost beyond endurance. The foregoing are a few random thoughts which have suggested themselves to us in connection with the Native Department. We hope they will open the eyes of our readers to the ne - cessity for a complete change, and we know not of a finer chance for the Doctrine of Abolition. Let us abolish the Native Department? Do not let those who have taken up the matter before be discouraged by past failures, for assistance will come to them from an all powerful quarter.
