The reports that the ceremonials of the Jubilee year will

be repeated next year, when Queen Victoria will have reigned for sixty years, are semi-officially denied. The Queen's health, say her doctors, might be injured by the fatigue and the ex- citement. That is, of course, to be avoided, but the occasion will be a most unusual one, and we do not quite see why a People's Demonstration should not be organised in which the Queen's only part should be to receive a single deputation representing every variety of her subjects all over the world.
