APRIL 28, 1887.

The Jubilee Cel: bration.

PuBLic opinion here is just beginning to rouse up to the necessity of celebrating in

a proper way the Jubilee of our (Queen

Tr ? - event. he loyal people ot

ward Island will not be outdone by then

compatriots. Our people always rise to the

occasion. Therefore we nay confidently

anticipate a Jubilee ce lebration which will redound to their credit.

It is proposed that the year shall see a roadw iy opened around the shore from the foot of Kent Street to Victoria Park, and shall be a grand

in Charlottetown on the last day of June

that there demonstration

and the first day of July. We hope to se

both propositions adopted and successfully carried out. The Legislature has already taken the

preliminary step towards conveying the adway ; and there

difficulty in

land required for the 1

will, we are assured, be no

having the land set apart for that purpose

But some time must necessarily

. ? pass before the work can be completed,

and a considerable sum of money will be required te-that end In view of the fact that the roadway will be the means of sav

ing the farm set apartfor the use of the

wernment will grant

dthat the Gk:

he money so re

expect part of t quired Way will be a ‘* boon and blessing to citizens : and therefore we may trust the City Council to defray a_ portion of the cost. We are not without hope that some one or more of our wealthy citizens wil

. : tis make a handsome donation to ec mpiecte tie

amount required to make the Jubilee Road permanent and cré litable ; and if they , ; | “ , . } Be should fail to do so, there are many pubic spirited men who will cheerfully give, in ee hanes Ee ala’ ; small sums, sufficient to make up the amount haste

required. But there is no need for

f } = matter ; ror, though the land

and the

about the

road opened, Its

For the demonstration, money Wi ll be wanted at once ; and an immediate effort

will have to be made. \ trades procession

celebration Trades processions are com-

gh in the Old Country, and in the United 1

States and Canada. But one would..be a

foundries, printing bekeries,

smiths, tinsmiths,

and unitedly into it, make up a long and

highly creditable procession.

Again,it is said that the Caledonian Club

have offered to arrange that their annual

gathering shall this year be merged in

the Jubilee Celebration. If this offer be

Tue origin of the expression sub rosa is thus explained by *P” of Nova Scotia: ‘In an old book on the cultivation of the rose [ tind the tollowing:—' The tirst rose ever seen was said to have been given by the god of love to Har- poerates, the god of silenc to engage him not to divulge t amours of his mothe: Venus, and from hence the ancients made it a symbol of silence, and it became a custom to place a rose above their heads in their ban- ueting rooms in order to banish restraint, as nothing there said would be repeated else- where, and from this originated the saying

‘sub rosa’ when anything was to be kept

secret.’ ” Tue Trades and Labor Council of Toronto are discussing the advisability of sending a
