He is mad, & no mistake, and should follow Harker 1 to asylum: if I can get you a copy (Bush. Adv. reprint) I will send it. 2 This was William Frederick Howlett, remittance man, schoolteacher, journalist, politician, thorn in the side of authority—articulate, straight talking, intelligent, cynical, clever, but generally regarded as a bit odd. Eighteen ninety was a big year for Howlett. He had started a regular column, named “Olla Podrida” in the Hawke’s Bay Herald in December 1889. His mother died in England in April 1890. His booklet Tirenics was published. He was Chairman of the Makaretu School Board, running a shop in Pahiatua and often writing letters to the editors of the Pahiatua Star and the Bush Advocate. Surviving copies of Howlett’s election address were printed at the Pahiatua Star.3 Howlett stood for Masterton as an independent but styled himself a “Tirenist” candidate.4 His manifesto read, FELLOW ELECTORS,— It is just three years and three months since I last issued an address similar to this. On that occasion I merely offered to go to the poll if you wished me to. If you have as much brains as I should like every man who votes for me to possess, you will first ask me WHY I WANT TO GET INTO THE HOUSE. My reply is that I am fond of getting behind the scenes. To regard the position of M.H.R. as an honor is absurd. A man is judged by his company, and as an ordinary member I should lose caste. I should, however, like very well to find out why such a number of seedy, out-at-elbows people hustle to get in. Whose 2 pockets do they get their fingers in? How are the steals arranged? You may be sure that the red-nosed men in patched boots and doubtful linen are not there for the honorarium, much less for the honor and glory: they have their axes to grind, and when I find out I will let you know. Please understand, also, that I am asking no favor at your hands. You want responsible and onerous work done, and nobody who knows me doubts my capacity to do it. Now I can’t deny that I could get a quid pro quo in the shape of knowledge. I could pick up a lot of experience in the House, and would not refuse to serve if elected. I should have access to a few men who really know something, and in exchange for the opportunity of learning I offer my services. The honorarium is to me a minus quantity. It would cost more than £200 to leave my home for three months, and it is doubtful how long I should stay in the House, as it is my peculiar task to ferret out abuses, abolish incompetent officials, and deny all received opinions. This would expose me to such a torrent of abuse and mud-pelting, that, as likely as not, I should throw up the sponge in a few years. You will, after reading this far, ask me next IS MY PURPOSE PURELY SELFISH. In 1887 it was. I then wrote “You see I regard Colonial politics as utterly petty, and decline to go into heroics. The reformation of a colony about as big as a second rate European town is not worth the life-blood of one man with a spark of genius in him, and if I find the stupid party can neither be suppressed nor educated, I shall go back to my store and wash my hands of politics.” This has all been changed. If as a “Tirenist” I can effect the reforms to be mentioned later, my purpose is a high one. MY GENERAL PLATFORM. Republican, Atheist, Malthusian; this is a dreadfully hard nut for the average elector to crack. Republican means, that I seek the welfare of the average man, and regard all accumulation of capital as an insult and a menace. Qualify this by adding that the thing, in my opinion, can’t be helped. Atheist means, that I never came across any God. There may be a dozen for all I 3 know. I am sick of hearing rival religions expounded. Nothing would be more interesting to a scientific man than a Creator, if we could only get him under our microscopes, but we can’t; and we don’t believe that the Jews, Christians, Mahommedans, and Buddhists know anything about the matter. Malthusian means, that poverty and crime are caused by over-breeding. I despaired in 1887 of explaining to electors why it was that no steps could be taken to check this. I said “It is not a question of practical politics here or anywhere else.” In 1890, the chief item in my policy. MY COLONIAL PLATFORM. Beyond a general support of whatever measures the most intelligent and honest men in the House approve of, I shall devote myself to Tirenism. What this is I have explained in a pamphlet procurable in the district. MY LOCAL PLATFORM. What is the use of saying I will be everyone’s friend and give £5 to every public cause? That is an old story, before elections. I shall spare no pains to obtain a revisal and consolidation of the ridiculous legislation commonly attributed to Mr Ballance; my opinion being that if one man (a selector) may not buy more than a limited area, then another man (a runholder) should not be permitted to hold any more; it being understood that by “more” I do not necessarily mean more in acres, but in producing power. I also wish for a definite and authoritative report on the question of a railway through Pahiatua, and an examination of certain legislation supposed to be necessary in Bush districts, where the laws about land, fencing, and bushfires, do not work well. WHAT DO I THINK OF———AND———? As I shall be asked “whether I am in favor of” half a hundred things, it is just as well to say that on a great number of subjects I have simply no information that would interest my querists. Many of the questions legislators have to deal with are excessively intricate and subtle, and depend for their solution on abstruse points of history and comparative jurisprudence, 4 Howlett’s “Election address”, October 1890, printed by the Pahiatua Star. Alexander Turnbull Library Eph-B-POLITICS-1890s. wherefore I am not rash enough to promise more than this: that I will make an attempt to understand some of them, and explain them in popular language at popular meetings. If all the members would do as much we should be better informed. To have definite opinions on the whole range of subjects that come before the House is beyond any man’s power.

  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

My name is Adam Douglas Canning. I am a Freshwater Ecologist and my credentials are presented in my Evidence in Chief (EiC). Response to questions asked to me by the commissioners in Memorandum 3 To Participants (15 May 2017). 2. “In respect of Figure 1 on page 4 of Mr Canning’s evidence: i) Whereabouts in the Mangatainoka River were the Figure 1 measurements made? ii) If that is the type of pattern that might be caused by the Pahiatua WWTP discharge, how far downstream might it extend?” i) The diurnal dissolved oxygen fluctuations depicted in Figure 1 were made above shortly above the confluence with the Makakahi River (40˚28’36”S, 175˚47’14”N) (Wood et al., 2015). Therefore, the readings are well above, and consequently unaffected by, the Pahiatua Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The readings should not be taken as depicting the impact of the WWTP. Rather they show that a) the Mangatainoka River is in poor ecological health well before the WWTP; b) that extreme diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen can and do occur in the Mangatainoka River; and c) increased nutrient inputs by the WWTP would likely exacerbate existing diurnal fluctuations and further reduce ecological health (as explained in my EiC).

There was one established Church and you belonged to it, or died. It was as simple as that. Heresy Heretics were not tolerated; they were put to death in the most painful ways. That great sixteenth-century intellectual, Sir Thomas More, put the matter very clearly. He believed that heretics should be burned alive, that ‘Princes should punish them according to justice, by a most painful death’, both as a punishment for heresy and as a deterrent to others.1 In England, being burnt alive at the stake was considered a sufficient punishment for a heretic.2 Later Henry VIII thought being hung, drawn and quartered was more appropriate.

The cruises complemented excursions to the Mediterranean, the "old country" and other "worn lines of pleasure," remarked the Sydney Morning Herald in 1898. They ve en offered a novel contrast to "doing Japan." Australian settlers had largely ignored their island neighbours, the newspaper continued, yet the cruise program indicated the range of "splendid holiday resorts" that lay on their doorstep.

  • Life After Pahiatua
    Life After Pahiatua On 1 November 1944 a total of 733 Polish children and their 105 guardians landed in Wellington Harbour. Together they had shared the fate of 1.7 million Poles who had been ethnically cleansed from their homes in eastern Poland under Stalin’s orders at the start of World War II and deported to forced-labour camps throughout the Soviet Union. Of those 1.7 million, 1 million died and 200,000 are still unaccounted for in Stalin’s genocide. This group of children, mostly orphaned or having lost family members, were the lucky ones and found eventual refuge in the Polish Children’s Camp in Pahiatua and a permanent home in New Zealand. These are the stories of their lives after the camp of how they successfully integrated and contributed to New Zealand society, more than repaying their debt to the country that offered them refuge and care in their time of need.

  • Soldiers & Colonists
    SOLDIERS & COLONISTS Imperial Soldiers as Settlers in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand John M. McLellan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2017 i Abstract The approximately 18,000 imperial troops who arrived in New Zealand with the British regiments between 1840 and 1870 as garrison and combat troops, did not do so by choice. However, for the more than 3,600 non-commissioned officers and rank and file soldiers who subsequently discharged from the army in New Zealand, and the unknown but significant number of officers who retired in the colony, it was their decision to stay and build civilian lives as soldier settlers in the colony. This thesis investigates three key themes in the histories of soldiers who became settlers: land, familial relationships, and livelihood. In doing so, the study develops an important area of settler colonialism in New Zealand history. Discussion covers the period from the first arrival of soldiers in the 1840s through to the early twentieth century – incorporating the span of the soldier settlers’ lifetimes. The study focuses on selected aspects of the history of nineteenth-century war and settlement. Land is examined through analysis of government statutes and reports, reminiscences, letters, and newspapers, the thesis showing how and why soldier settlers were assisted on to confiscated and alienated Māori land under the Waste Lands and New Zealand Settlement Acts. Attention is also paid to documenting the soldier settlers’ experiences of this process and its problems. Further, it discusses some of the New Zealand settlements in which military land grants were concentrated.

  • New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW*
    New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW* IN A BECENT article Professor F. L. W. Wood has endorsed and expanded the view that Seddon played a significant role in New Zea- land's failure to federate with Australia between 1899 and 1901.1 Other writers might challenge this view.2 By claiming that New Zealand never came close to federating and had adequate reasons for standing aloof, they have, at least implicitly, down-graded the significance of the part played by Seddon in keeping New Zealand out of an Australasian federal union. It is the intention of this paper to show that the major factors determining New Zealand's response to the federation question were established not under Seddon after 1898, but rather in the period 1883-91, before Seddon's premiership, and that Seddon, far from being a major factor in this response, found his actions largely circumscribed. Although New Zealand stayed out of the Commonwealth, it was, argues Wood, in the balance to the end whether the more marginal Australian colonies would also remain uncommitted.3 The social, economic, geographic, and sentimental factors that prevented New Zealand from federating equally affected these marginal colonies who had as much to lose (or gain) from joining as New Zealand. Wood also maintains that the arguments adduced by New Zealanders against federation (when they were not nonsense) were identical to * This is a revised version of a research paper submitted in 1968 as part of an honours degree in History.
