ANNIVERSARY DAY.
The holidays that aiv hold in various parts of the Dominion to celebrate the .anniversaries of the Provinces, are more or less farcical. They afford art opportunity for the overworked shop assistants, bank officials and civil servants to forefather as their predelictious dictate; but otherwise tiiev serve no useful purpose. If there is a genuine desire on the part of th:« people to recognise the worfc or t i? pioneer settlers, and to impress the present generation with the iminem::> potentialities of the country in which they live, the. Legislature should fix a day for a .National observance. It dce,s not matter much whether it he January 22nd, or any other day. Possibly, however, as it was on this day that "Victoria the Good" passed away, it would be well to adopt January 22nd as the. day for observance in the whoki Dominion. The present lop-sided holiday disorganises business to quite an unneeessaiT exteitt.
