TONGA.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Vavau, May 20.1 The game played by our English Premior to stamp out British interests is a desperate one, and will, I think, in the end defeat itsolf. If I am not mistaken, it will only tend to strengthen and perpetuate them. Previous to the New Church movement, the Wosleyan Church was considered to bo a Tongan Church. Mr Baker was not in ir, but with the assistance of his friend Mr Watkina, and by the aid of lettors and com mands from the King to ordained native ministers.he could pullellthowires and man. age things almost as he likod. The secession .has deprived, him of that power. Henceforth Tie and his friends must be in direct aDd open antagonism. ThecolonialMothodistsaroeure to supply means to carry on the work. Ap a consequence the church will again become a mission church. That will bring the people belonging to it, and all its rights and property, more dirocctly under the.protec tion of the English Government.. It would havo been impossible for matters to have reached their present climax had it not baon for the weak action of our Government in a. matter arising out of a petition of Tongan natives to the Queen asking for Mr Baker'B removal. Nino of the nntivo leaders in that movement were arrested, ■ threatened with hanging, and finally banished to different Islands in Haabai for various long terms for the serious offence of petitioning the Queon to remove a British subject. This was very properly considered to bo an injustice to the mon, and a slight upon the English Government, and was complained of as such ; but for three years no action was takon. About the end of that time H.M.S. Espiegle went to Haabai in a quiet way and released them No one at the time knew anything about it. To this day tho majority of the natives believe that the release was effected in some way through an act of clemency on tho part of Mr Baker. This action of our Government has filled the nativo mind with the idea that Mr Baker is aa powerful at homo as ho is in Tonga. It has also led to a thorough con viction amongst them that resistance to his will or policy means punishment severe and immediate, without any means of redress., It U bad enough for the English Premier (o deprivo the poor Tongans of their liberty, religious and political, but when wo add to that tho tremendous burden placed upon them in the way of fcnxationjind Government lovies for labour, etc., it is altogether intolerable. Every unmarried male above school ago pays a poll tax of nino , dolle s per year. Married men pay eight. The payments have to bo mado quarterly, or one shilling per quartor is added. In addition to that «n 'extra tax of two shillings per year is collected, which is said to be for the head Government Offico of tho village, although they never get the full amount collected; There is also an additional dollar per year for a school tax. In consequence of hurri canes for the last three years, many have not been able to pay their taxes at the appointed time. They aro now made to pay the arrears with the additional shilling'per quarter for nonvpayment when duo. The School Tax is levied, aa is supposed to meet tho expensos tho Government incurp, in the management of tho school^ The School Tax is supposed to pay masters' salaries. Tho erecting or repairing of schools or schoolmasters houses is done by compulsory free labour. There are no building materials to buy; they aro all native buildings. Copy books, school books, slates, and other school necessaries have to be bought by the scholars from supplies left by Mr Bakor at an advance, in most instances, of fully 100 per cent, on their Auckland value. Traders are not allowed to come into competition with him. Slates, for instance, as good as Mr Baker's, have been bought by the scholars from tho traders for ono-half the price. When the children have taken them to school, the schoolmaster has publicly broken them up, giving as his reason that it was the com mand of Mr Baker that all were to be bought from his supplios. It cannot be urged that tho additional dollar education tax and large profits on school necessaries is needed on account of tho large gums required to pny tho schoolmasters' salaries. Tho salaries of tho schoolmasters here vary from £3 to £12 por year. Their combined salaries in this group cannot bo more than £200 por annum. The question is often askod—How is tho money which they havo to pay expended 1 Nationalities of Foreign Residents, Mr Bakor has notified that ho intends to publish a " Blue Book," and is gathering in formation for it. He has asked the foreign residents to give the number, age, sex, and religion of their households, together with the number, value, and nature of the buildings they possoes He forgot to ask for nationality. With your permission I will supply the missing return, lest we bo considered all Germane. In Varau and Haabai I shall include the nativo wives and families of foreigners in the same nationality as the head of the house. In tho Tonga returns they are.not included. In any case it will not affect the average of tho nationalities, as the prc oortion of English, Germans, and other foreigners with nativo wives and families is about tho same : — Tonga : 77 British, 35 Germans and all other nationalities. Haabai: 44 British (including 3 Maoris and I Norfolk Islander). Haabai: 31 Germans and II all other nations. Vavau :43 Eng lish, 21 Germane, and 13 all other nat'onr, Niua Foo and Niua Tabu Tabu : 10 British and 4 oil other nationalities: total, 174 British and 115 Gormans and all oth r nations combined.

THE PRESS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Sir Julias Vogol's Patronising Air,

(BY TELEGRAPH. — PARLIAMENTARY

REPORTER )

Wellington, this day. The " Post" states that Sir Julius Vogel'p speech on Friday nigh* has certainly caused a good deal of annoyance and pain to a largo number of his supporters. He was altogether toojpatrosising. Some he patted on" the back, some he sharply rebuked, but his praise was quite as distasteful as his censure. Throughout his tone was that of a superior to an inferior. A speech more likely to alionato friends, and convert them from well-meaning advisers into avowod opponents, is rarely heard from Ministers. Tariff Alterations. The article goes on to say that there is but one feeling abroad regarding alterations in the tariff. Any member who supported these alterations would have to prepare for an early retirement from public life. It conclusion, it says Sir Julius Vogel proposes to leave the tax on property as it was before the necessity for defence was recognised—nay, below what it once was, and to increase the actual cost of living on moderate households by some 15 or 20 per cent. We should indeed be ashamed of Parliament, and inclined to despair of the country, if such a policy should find accep tance. We cannot believe that the present Ministry can intend to force such a policy. We hope Ministers will listen to reason and re model their measures so as to modify, if they cannot altogether romove, their present objectionable features. If they will not do this, it will be their own fault if they are turned out of office. They will, as Scobio Mackenzie truly said, have left their friends Mr R. Glllles's Illness. ■Referring to Mr Gillies's enforcod resig nation through ill-health, the "Post" says that during his single session he showed great aptitude for public business, and was able to .speak decidedly well. It expresses the hope that his health may soon be re stored, to onable him to ro-ontor public life, and declares that the olectors of Bruce were never more faithfully represented than they were last session. I learn that Mr Stout, with his usual consideration, has written condoling with Mrs Gillies in her affliction, ar-d will delay for a few days announcing the resignation of seat, in the hope that he may recover so as to be enabled to recon sider his determination.

Government Measures Doomed,

In a strongly-worded article on the dead lock, the " Presß " sayß :— " Nothing short of suri'ender of tho whole policy of protec tion and increased borrowing will clear the way for progress of business. We do not anticipate any sort of obstruction - we scarcely expect to ppis any organised opposition at all event—Buntil tho affaire of the session shall have roached a more ad vanced stage ; but it may bo taken for certain that if the Government attempt to pass their policy measures, they will either be rejected on second reading, or else to torn to pieces in committee as to be worth less for any political object. To attempt to pass them, therefore, could only lead to waste of time, and to a most disastrous interference with the commerce and pro duction of the country."

UIUVKBBITY I OLLEGB KNDOWMFNT. —MT Boardman (Newton) moved: "That in tbe opinion of this liouso, provision should be made by Parliamout to secure the same annual income (or Auckland University College as isenjoyedby Uie similar coltoKes in Utago and Canterbury* and aleo univciviiy buildiDga of a permanent character, amply sufficient ta carry On--: Ihe varioua operations in connection with tho said University College and that, the" Ministry bi>, requested to take measures to give practical effect to tliia resolution,"; In a loroiblo speeoh Mr Boardman advocated, the claims of Auokland to this provision, and in";' the course of it ho showed how lavishly tbei; provinces of Utngo and Canterbury had endowed I their publio institutions, such as eecondarTv schools, university colleges, professorial rest:i dences, and museums. Auckland, though ua thickly populated a province, and equally aB "i large a contributor to the public revenues, wm:j absolutely without buch endowments.

He uttributed this anomalous condition of things to a.want of nous, energy, activity, and determination on the part of the.: Auckland mombers, which as representatives of % the people they ought to have shown. He:; thought it would be a trua nationalisation of the '■: land to dioendow and disestablish the abnor mally wealtliy University Colleges of Otagoand; Canterbury, and tho revenues thus obtained , devoted to tho promotion of University educa tion throughout tho colony.—lr.
