"A better Government can be Sc
cured under proper economy. with all
unnecessary and improper leakages
stopped, than under a system of ex-
travagance which tends to make all
public officers indifferent and reckless.
This is the true secret of administra.
tive Reform. In New York we are
running the Government for little
more than half what it cost two years
ago, and the work is at least as eff.
GENTLY done. = Samuel j. Tilden.

Caricature and calumny-equally
scurruilous and slimy-these are the
only weapons the Republicans have
employed in this canvass. 1t can not
be that the American people are suf-
ficiently degraded to be affected by
them. To consider it possible to de-
feat Tllden by brutal pictures and
brutal slang, would be to underrate the
intelligence of the American people.

eThe ujkado of JaD0u.

ApplctOn's American Cyolopedia.l
The term Mikado, used to desig-
nate the Emperor of Japan, is of
doubtful etymology. The word
does not occur in the most ancient
Japanese books, but is the one out
Of many names given to the Empe-
ror, which has obtained the greatest
currency. The derivation of Mi
kado usually accepted by the Japan
ese is from mi, honorable, august,
and kado, a gate, equivalent to the
Turkish title Sublime Porte.
Tenno is the official designation
now used for the Emperor, and all
Japanese ministers and consuls are
accredited as Representatives of"His
Imperial Majesty the Tenno of
Japan" The first MikadO, Jimmu
Tenno, who is usually regarded as
an historical character, began to
reign about 500 B. O.; since which
time one hundred and t%hirty-one
EmperUrS have occupied the throne.
The reigning Mikado (lS75) is
Mutsuhita, second son of the En-
peror Komei Tenno and the EN-
press Fujiwara Asko. He married
Haruko, daughter Of Ichiio Tadaka,
a noble Of the second degree of the
first rank, born in June, 1850.
Abandoning the habits of seclusion
practiced by his ancestors, the Mi
kado appears in public, and gives
audience to the members of the
diplomatic corps in Japan, to his
own officers, and to the foreigners
employed in the government SER
vice. He dresses, eats, rides, and
acts like a European sovereign.

Captains John Hardin and Ed
Rowland have sued in the United
States Court at Cincinnati the
Farmers, Merchants and Manufac-
turers Insurance Company of
Hamilton, Ohio, for a policy of in
surance on the Fort Gibson. The
Cincinnati insurance companies
have always been bad pay, and they
have always made it a rule never to
pay a policy if they could avoid it.
They have beaten many a poor
steamboatman out of his insurance.
