SELLING OPP. A Jubilee Yacht for the Queen. Numerous articles have appeared in‘ the English press of late in connection with the reported intention of the Ad- miralty to build a new Royal yacht, pointing out the inferiority of the Queen‘s pleasure craft as compared with the magnificent vessels owucd by the sovereigns of Russia and Germany. Not only are the Victoria and Albert and her cOnsorts obsolete and unfit for anything but a fair weather passage across the Solent and Channel, but. they are also a great way behind the [I'lht’ll- zollern or the Standard in point of speed, safety and modern requirements. tically out of politics. It is adversity that tries the man, for when ofiices are the reward of work, and all manner of patronage is hovering about, it is not much of a sacrifice for a man to accept a position and work for the good of his country, his party and himself. So, now, Montague and Haggart have de- serted politics for mining. There is no gold mine in opposition, so the twain have joined the procession in the rush to Rossland. In this they are wise, for, though the Conservative party is in the worst stages, yet, within it. already can be seen the movement for reorgan- ization which would result in the over- turning of undesirable leaders. “ Sir Adolphe Caron has also taken up mining, and will probably desert pol- itics.

All this has been commented upon by our contemporaries on the other side of the Silver Streak, and the neces- sity for repairing the defect is fully recognized. The Herald goes one step further, and suggests that herein lies a most suitable opportunity for Englishmen to mark their appreciation of the record year of Queen Victoria’s reignâ€"a reign in which England’s sea power has risen to a height unprecedented in history. Let the new yacht be built, but let it be‘ a gift of the nation to their well beloved Sovereign â€"not merely a product 0 official expenditure. It is well known that the Queen is adverse to change in respect to her surroundings, and for this reason Her Majesty has long given preference to the Victoria and Albert as the yacht with which many of her most. cherished memories are connected.- But by associating the new vessel with the affectionate regard of all her sub. jects, Her Majesty’s sympathies would be at once secured. The Queen would then enjoy the proud disrinctinn of having a pleasure yacht such as no other sovereign can boast ofâ€"a yacht presented by the nation, and also a yacht surpassing all others afloat. For, of course, nothing short of the latter condition could enter into an offering to the Queen of England from her subjects. Let the necessary amount be raised by a penny subscription, or in any other way that may be more prac- ticable, but let the yacht hall the record of its kind in speed, design and other qualities, just as Her Majesty holds the record among earthly rulers for the length and prosperity of her reign.
