Crueltgtothe Aborigines

Duringthepastfewmonthscruel andmisleadingstatementshavebeen madeabouttheAboriginalnatives ofWesternAustralia.InbothHouses ofParliament,aswellasinthepublicpress,assertionshavebeenmade that-tosaytheleastofthem-reflectverylittlecreditontheintelligence,theexperience,ortheobservationofmeninhighplaces.Theold bogey,thatthenativesareincapableofacceptingthebenefitsofcivilisationandtheblessingsofChristianity,hasbeentrackedandcapturedandexposedtimeandagain. Andyetitwasunblushinglybrought forwardoflatebymenofdifferent politicalopinions,menwho-unless theireyeswereclosedortheirreasoningtemporarilysuspended-must havewitnessedlivingpracticalrefutationsofthecalumniestheyuttered againsttheWestAustralianAborigines.

I!weweretochallengeallrandomstatementsandattackevery misleadingassertiononthismatter, thelimitedtimeandspaceatour disposalwouldheundulytaxed,and asaconsequenceourreaderswould beillinecessarilywearied.

Butwhenweareassured,byMr. Mcrionald,M.L.A.,andMr.Gardiner.M.L.A.,thatthenativesare stillcruellytreatedintheNorthWest,wefeelindutyhoundtoproteeagainstthatcruelty.andto pleadthecauseofthedespisednativewhoseclaimstothebrotherhood ofr.-,anandtheFatherhoodofGod cannotbelost.orlessenedbycolour or'aliminy.
