Dear MIR. Editor,

Detlf MI. Hdllof,
During my limited experience, ] find,
that local Institutions or associations are IN
a majority Of cuses, started and worked priu-
cipoIly by natives hence here IS every rem
son particularly with associations Of long
standing, that the rights of natives be plo-
tected.
Now, there are certain people who eousi-
der that am meddlesome IN things that DO
not (as they suy) concern me-, but these pto-
pie have get to understand that the moment
q subject bears a collective character, any
one embracing It's element has the right to
comment on behalf Of Justice, particularly
when one sees the more, how the rights of
natives are being violated.
There is at present one such institution
or association which | think it not mistaken,
IS u bit over twenty years in standing, and
which, too, was started, and is up 10 the pre-
sent, worked by natives, others being in The
minority; to nay sudden annoyance, | gath
cred during the past few weeks, that there
exists III said association, u clique OF trio
other than native, who are exercising their
best i'll trying to eradicate from It's circIo
the native element, and what is more ridicu-
lous is, that same trio comprises conspicuous
units who should have better respect for
their place in a community than to stoop to
so despicuble an undertaking on hearing it l
ut first stood back, but when through |
telt the i'll motive, and cannot say otherwise
then, that AL natives concerned should CO.
operate in overthrowing such a movement;
the picture brings to my recollection a few
lines which | came across some time ago,
they read thus:
His Oats were good enough to mill,
For Quaker Oats at the Quaker mil.
And the proud old farmers smiling still
The smile that won't come off.
Yes, the farmer (peasant) does coutem-
plate a smile perhaps never to com off,
but he forgets TINT tins is not Quaker Oats
50 he need not depend upon the mailer as
the latter may chance to grind himself up,
which, like the result of any unjust proceed
ing, one can easily ji,t1ge for himself.
Thanking you for space allowed,
| remain, Nh. Editor,
