this add the combined effects OF bad
weather aud poor clot hes-perhaps
no clothes at all--and it will not be
wondered al that the Maores, as a
race, are declining fast.
For many years the Maories have
been drawn away from their settle
ments to attend the Land Courts in
the border towns of Waikato, Wan
gauui, Manswatu, and Taranak,
with the most dreadful conse-
quences to themselves. Hundreds
Of thousands OF pounds have been
paid over to them by the land COM
panies, and every penny Of the
money has gone in the wild indul-
gence OF every vicious propensity.
What they did not spend in dis
soluteness was taken from them by
the "Kaiwakawakas" and the un-
scrupulous European traders.
On the top of all came the tangis,
or funeral feasts, of the native po-
pulation. A Maori OF distinction
will die OF an infectious disease, aud
all the tribe for miles around will
gather round his corpse, to whine
aud lament and to eat and drink. l
have seen as much as f100 paid over
to grog merchant for supplies for
one Of these wakes, aud the quality
OF some of the stuff served out was
so dreadful that the entire camp re-
NAMED in state of madness for
days after, perpetrating all kinds OF
fantastic outrages. Then the dead
ly infection from the corpse began
to tell, and for months the taingis
would continue, as one after another
the luckless people dropped off, dis
torted with disease.
Civilization has many great ad-
vantages for the Maories, as for
other races, but there are two sides
to civilization; and, unhappily, the
New Zsalanders have known the
worst.--J. +. Z, IN the Austraiasian.

THE CIRCUIT COURT
Suit Filed by A. o. Larkin Praying for
Restraining Injunction

A suit was filed yesterday in the
United States circuit court by A. O..
Larkn praying for a temporary injunc-
tion restraining Street Superintendent
John H. Drain from selling some land
for a street assessment. An ordinance
of the council was issued last year to
open a 20-foot alley between Fifth and
Sixth streets through the block bounded
by Main and Spring. Larkin claims that
the proceedings were not technically
correct, and that the three commission
ers appointed did not file an affidavit and
bond as required: it is further elaine
that when they filed the report of the
a assessment on surrounding property
they did not file any plats or specifica-
tions of the property, nor names of prop
erty owners, and that there were other
informalities.
Protests were filed at the time alleging
that the assessments had not been made
for the benefits of the property or in
accordance with the law. These protests
were overruled by the council, and the
reports Of the assessments were con-
firmed. The assessments are now delin-
quent and the property. unless Drain is
restrained, will be sold to satisfy the
assessments. Mr.. Larkin's property is
said to be worth $4,000, and the amount
of the assessments with the penalties
cost OF advertising, etc, $4,000

STOLE A TEAM OF HORSES
An All Around Crook Arrested by Of
hcer Kolle

Henry Howard was arrested Friday
night by officer Kolle on a grand lar
ceny charge. being accused of stealing
a team Of horses belonging to N. H.
de la Marty. Howard has the reputa-
ton Of being an all around crook. He
owns a shoe shop on Ninth street, just
off Main.
Howard took the team last Sunday
and was apprehended the same day, but
told such q smooth story of how he
came by its possession that he was al
lowed to go free. The officer making
the arrest had been informed of the
theft and saw Howard and another
man driving along the street with a
buggy and team which. from the de-
scription, he thought was the one sto-
len.
He stopped the men and began ques-
tioning them. Howard said that the
horses had been left standing in front
of his shop all day without anything
to eat, and he was taking them home,
as he knew TO whom they belonged.
The officer volunteered to take charge
of the horses If they would show him
where the owner lived. They pointed
out ~ pIdCc, ain "!.ei tiie OiiiSel W Cilt
into the lleuse they both lit out and were
not seen again until Howard was found
by Officer Kolle.
Howard has been arrested before for
aolso stealing. 1t Is CLAIMED that he
also stole bicycle about a week ago.

Lost in Jail

On motion of Deputy District Attor-
ney McComas the charge of robbery
against Henry Wood. alleged to have
robbed the old soldier, Rowse, at Re-
dondo in March last. was yesterday dis
missed and the defendant discharged
The legal time having elapsed within
which an information could be tilct,
made it necessary that this coureo
should be taken, and in addition, the
evidence was of such a very indefnit,
character that it would not have been
probable that a conviction could have
been obtained if the case had ever gone
to trial.
Nevertheless Wood has been in Jail for
nearly two months.
