wo are persistently kept in ignoranes of the intentions of the Government. In a Crown Cofony this is all-important; but in Accor- dance with its importance, so (in inveres matiu) is our information. If the Govern. ment had given out that it would have done so and so, in the event of sö`and ea being decided upon by the community, thore would have been some chance of thri Commemorative Jubilee ofthe Record Reign coming to some satisfactory conclusion. As the discussion appears to be going now drifting here, and drifting there-little hope scous to exist of any definite con clusion. The fear is now that the entire movement will result in a 'fiasco.' Anglo- Saxons have an awkward habit of act ing upon common-sense ideas-that is, upon paying money when they know the object for which they pay in to 20he carried out.

The othern depent upon the co-operation of the Government But the co-operation of the local Government means nothing more than a generd distribution of the cost over perhaps a larger area of the residents, it might Lave been reasonably expected the Government would have made, known? the attitude to be assumed by Hor Majesty's representatives in the Colony The A show of openness and publicity is good, but we look for a show of openness and publicity on the part of the Government as well About nine weeks will elapse before the actual Jubilee is held; and the manner which anything official can be usually accomplished implies that wo shall be con siderably behind the for the 22nd of Jas this year. Of course, the morement should have been started much earlier than it was, and the entire responsibility must rest upon the Governor, because the Committee was nominated by lim. It would be well, we think, to revise the pro-1 gramme. The time is getting short The dolay lion at the door of the Government. The blame of a possible fiasco may now be saddled upon the Committee appointed by the Governor; and thewhat shall we oli thoughtlessness of the Executive may renot against the loyal subjects of Queen Vistoria in this Crown Colony.
