CORRESPONDENCE.

We have an immense accumulation of cor respondence. Somo of tho letters are now out of date; others require boiling down. ■\Vritorß who wish to give currency to their views should remember that brevity is the soul of wit.

Defekce.—John D. Bentley wants to know—" What kind of a Government have wo in New Zealand that they should havo tho impertinoneo to ask labouring men to l^ive their services to their country for nothing, for such is the bare faced proposal of the Premier ? Let the ricti people come forward—the land monopolist, the banking fraternity, and money-grabbers—and go to the front, or anto-upj and Blxovr that they appreciate tho lubours of others." UoLLKdE Hill Wokks,—E. Papcoe and Co., contractors for this work, state that they have done everything to tho best of their endeavour since the commencement of tho works to protect the public from danger by lighting and fencing off tho road from one end to tho other, atid their lamps have been continually broken up and tho fence I knocked down and carried away. They therefore declaro that if the public will per sist in going on that eido of the road now undergoing repairs, and not keep on the new side, which is made ready for traffic, they will not be responsible for any accident which may happen thereby, and anyono caught carrying away timber or damaging lights or any other thing on the works will be prosecuted. Dressmakers. — " Mater " iB incensed over Mr Cooper'a aspersions in Court on dressmaking as an occupation for girls. She nsks -.—"Did ho mean boys ought to be employed; if co, what aro wo to do with our girla?" "Whip" sends a letter on the name subject, in which tho following passages occur: —" Some girls are dress makers of necessity, and solne learn the trade with a view of turning it to good account when they become mothers, and, as a rule, they aro quito a respectable class.' It ia not true that they are out late at night, aro giddy, and aro not able to take care of thomsolvcs. I know somo dress making girls, ami can vouch for their exemplary characters." Wo&kiSO Mkh'h Coi'i'ACEf!.—"A Work ing Man " writes that he has been a tenant in one of .1. M. Lennox's cottages for five year?, and hopes to bo so .for five years moi'Q. Jfo vouches for their cleanliness and, healthiness,

Stray Sheep.—" J.W.," Parnell, assures "A Worker " that arrangements have been mado for the work of visitation of all those who took tho "bit o' blue" during Mr Booth's mission. "Tho town and suburbs havo been divided into twenty-six districts, and a visitor appointed to each. The visi tors will bo furnighod with the name and address of each who took thp plodge recid- Ing in hfs district, ttiid it will bo his duty to hob each one, either personally or to onlist tho assistance of ' worker.:.' However, each one must be visited. lam deeply pained to think of the number which 'A Worker' thinks have gone astray. Wliilo sincerely hoping tho estimate of 50 per cent, is in excess of fact, still I am conscious that the number is largo." The Murdek at the Asitlum. —Mr Richard Marsh writes with reference to the latu tragedy at the Asylum. He makes some grave and libellous charges against the warders for illtruating inmates. Such charges should bo forwarded to the Go vernment for proper investigation. The Mayor's experience in investigating charges brought by Mr Mai*h did not prove very satisfactory to himself. Thk Tkiumi'h.—W. D. Norton sends a plan for utilising the steamer Triumph for defence purposes. As nothing ia likely to come of the proposal, however, it is useless burdening our already over-crowded space in discussing the feasibleness of our cor respondent's design. Ladies to the Front.—"Katie" cannot understand why ladies are not taught the use of the rifle. She thinks "it would be a great advantage to all if we were to depend loss on the men, and were allowed tho privilege of helping to defend our selves. "

,Fi:malk Accoucheurs.—"E.S.," writing as a young mother to other mothers.appeals to them to employ midwivos instead oi: male practitioners in thoir time of travail. ,; .City Council Holidays. — "Father" wants to know " by what right or proco dent our City Council compels tho working mon in their employ to kcop so many holidays in tho year without pay or showing just cause for doing so, whilo at tho same time they pay a wholo staff of clerks and ollicials for the very same holidays, and a great many more that aro allowed to them." On'kiicnoa Hacks.—" Impartial Specta tor " sends a long letter upon tho One hunga races and tho Mitrailleuse-Rewi pro test Ho says: "Tho real question involved is, Hid Rewi, in his running for the One hunga Cup, interfere with the running of Mitrailleuso, nnd so jeopardise her chance of winning the race '! The ovidenco taken at tho timo before tho stewards affirmed this position, and on tho woight of evidence tho stewards did whnt was their plain duty —awarded tho race to Mitrailleuse. The question was not hastily but carefully con sidered, and I am in a position to affirm that tho stowards who adjudicated upon the protest were in no way interested in the rosult."

A LAlsoun Grievance,—"A Working Man " writes i—" Hundreds of men aro at present working at the fortifications, and many like myself are married men and have fnmilies to support, I wish to ask, how are wo to livo and keep out of debt ? Many of us aro now working over a fortnight, and never received a penny of pay, not oven a word whon to expect payment; worse still, before wo can go to our day's work, we havo to pay cash, our sixpence per man to tho Ferry Company, just about 13 per cent, of our earnings (no trust there). If men aro urgently required, why not make ar rangomonts to convey them to their work 1 Private contractors do so, and hiro v steamer for thoir men and deduct a fair charge from thoir wages."

The Treaty of Waitangi.—The Aunexa tion of New Guinea and the Imperial Reserves.

(To tho Editor.)

| Sir.,—Tho Treaty of AVaitangi, as is well known, promised the Maoris undisturbed possession of their lands. But inter national law, as by Vattol, pays that ill governed savages, such as tho Maoris were with cannibalism, aro only ontitled to such lands as are necessary for their Rustonance and preservation, and tho rest may betaken by a constituted sovereign power without any logal desistanco or resistance by the Maoris. Honee the Treaty of Waitangi secured the Maoris in the quiet pos session of such lands as wore absolutely nocessary for their present and future existence, which right they had lost by their prior acts of resistance or non - acknowledgment of constituted sovereign power, and which right non signatories did not recover, nnd future resistants aftor signature again lost; con sequently, it can bo concluded that Euro peans have na legal right to deal with aavago natives as to their lands, as such are necessary for their eelfpreservation, and all beyond belongs to constituted sovereign power. Still, there is no law, be it marked, to prevent even savage natives paying fines imposed, or foregoing tribal laws theron according to the ruleof constituted sovereign power, in return for tho bonefits of civilised rule. It will at once bo seen that the principlo of this law is to protect natural rights, and to advance at the same timo tho rights of civilisation, as intro duced by colonisation. Therofore, a con stituted sovereicn power may interfere legally in any way to promote good and to destroy savage rule, And wo have al ready shown that especially the rights of savage nations to land are limited strictly by natural necessity. These legal rules may bo of special benefit to the Govern ment in dealing with Maori lands in the King Country, harmfully mono polised, and which far exceed what is necessary for the wants, present or future, of such Maoris. Moreover, it will have to bo considered that the Maoris generally, contrary to legal rule, have been conceded excessive grants of lands or rights therein, through generosity to tho Maoris and injustice to Europeans. As to the annexation of New Guinea, it is to be observed that international law, as by Vattel, says that all constituted sovereign powers have equal rights to advance civilisation and the particular welfare of their people by annexation of unoccupied territory, provided that such annexation be followed by immediate occupation and colonisation, together with rule, wnich can hardly bo said of New Guinea," as to present date colonisation is forbidden, nor will any ex tension thereof be justified unless there be considerable imminent and insurmountable peril from warlike natives which cannot bo existent in present case, as proved by the presence of unharmed missionaries and tbo absence of any regular government to pro tect same. In fine, it is legally laid down that there must be immediate colonisation and rule to justify an exclusive right to annexation of territory equally open otherwise to ether sovereign powers for similar design and reason; consequently, the annexation of New Guinea, to bo legal, will require fresh enactment under more
