The Maoris themselves are above the re proach of the ferocity implied ia Mr Seddon's harangue. As a race, their war methods were on tha whole sin* gnlarly humane, and they palpably ex« hibited far fiaer ideals than thane of the more violent 3 ingos of today. The paper dreads that as Mr Seddon is pushing forward as a leader of im» perialistio opinion in this part of the world, his latest scheme may be taken as an Australasian one.
