The Queen’s Jubilee.

To the Editor of the Standard. Nut, —“ Loyalty " a-ks that vi-ut traders may send iu suggestions as to (he bo.it way to show loyally to our Qj.-erj ia June next. Wo should be loyal to ouiselvea as w. hj, and ns lie has suggested tbit we try to keep the money in the place, instead of going to Wellington to spend it, I would suggest that wo get up a good display of fireworks There are many of ua who have seen nothing of the kind to speak of since we left our FrtUietlaud, and our children have no idea what a display of fireworks is like. I make tUia hh u aufit-cetica auU hope vur Mayor wili on Monday night next (when the Council meets) bring the sulject of the Queen's JuLiles before Councillors. Not such a Jubilee as they had among themselves at last meeting, though. If it ia necessary lo have a subscription for any display let lire lists be put in circulation at once. My remarks will apply to the various townships—the public officers should not be alow in pushing the matter along. I am Ac., Englishman.

To the Editor of the Standard. Sib,— Hnrrah for the Jubilee I Here's the very identical tiling—it will suit eveiybody without exception, and Weil all start from the scratch. Weil have a Jubilee day of course, and I want you to publish a few of my thoughts; they're jolly good oues too. On the morning of the Jubilee day I want to hear the buglers of the volunteer comp' o j eg call the whole Population of each town together ihen let the Magistrate attend at each town at * cer taia hour, locumpanted by thg J,..,. Let bun have power to pubucl" proclaim that everybody who owes any money on that day needn't pay it, and I'll net my best cow on it that you wouldn’t find a man missing. We dou't like debt and on such a glotious occasion let us act with a tine Christian spirit and forgive each other. How sweetly would (hose words fall upon our ears from the RJJ. ' I i, ereby absolve tbee.” I tell you Mr Editor, you can’t beat this suggestion—it is the panacea for all our tils—we’ll all stait afresh —w«'U P>y cash from that very day —and uroneiity i< assureJ. Theta'll be uo mote ha d times a i summonses-- no duns hunting up bad marks - no sleeplesr nights for debtors—no! bad language by creditors. Don't you see j Mr Editor, how this absolution would put us in Uni way of getting to heaven more than I anything else. Why, we’d have the blooming 1 tuilienium here in uo time. i

It'll work right enough it mn'li ou’y write about it. It's a pcrftclly fair urraupeiu«ut. You see, were all iu debt, end we don't care about p.v lir;. JJ.-own owes Robinson a good um-'Ui.t, ,i"d Itobiuson <uvi-s Jones about the same. nod Jones owes buiiiti in like manner.
