ABOUT THE REAL MIKADO.
Something Interesting About the
Being Taken as the OPERAS
original.

So much has of late been said, heard
and seen, remarks an exchange, about
this gentleman or lady-for few have
known what to make of the parsonage
that some words of explanation must
prove welcome to our many readers.
The first mystery about the word is its
pronunciation. We have heard it &C
cented half dozen different ways. Web
ster gives but one, and that one Mika do.
1t is not Miky-doo-the "a" has here it's
cold" Latin sound, and is spoken like the
ga" in Alice or Harrison. So the word
is Mika'da.
Mikado is the imperial title of the SOW
ereign of Japan. The first ever honored
with the name is believed to have been
Jimmu Tenno, who began his reign $50
years before Christ. And in the twenty
five centuries since. 123 Mikados have
swayed the sceptre over the strangely in
telligent Japanese.
The name of the reigning Mikado is
Mutsuhito- written, but not so
easily spoken. He was born in 1850 and
became Emperor in 1868. He is the son
of his predecessor in office, Komei Tenno,
and through him he traces his descent in
a line unbroken back to Tenno the First,
who descended from the gods of his day.
The word Mikado was not known to the
ancients. It does not occur in any of the
Oldest Japanese documents. Now, how
ever, it is the best known name the
worthy Emperor owns. But he is blessed
with several minor titles, all OF them in
dicative of honor and power. He is
Judge of the World" (Kotie), "Heaven
King" (tenno), "Son of Heaven" (tensh).
But Americans will for ever know him
only by "Mikado," the name that has
been so extensively popularized among
them.
The etymiology and meaning OF the
word are variously stated by linguists of
learning. Some derive it from "mika"
(grand) and ''to" (place)-a grand place
the palace of the ruler. And later by
a figure of speech much used in eastern
nations, the occupant of the grand place
the Emperor. We prefer to think that
its meaning, probably is similar to the
Turkish title Sublime porte," and its
true origin from "mi" (august) and
''kato" "a gate).
The present Mikado has broken away
from many of the immemorial traditions
of his kingly clan. Abandoning long-in-
dulged seclusion, he appears in public
dresses, eats rides, sleeps, and acts after
the manner of European sovereigns.
He condescends even to give audiences to
of the diplomatic corps, to his
own officers, and to distinguished for
eigners.
Does the real japanese Mikado resem
Die much the one you'have seen on the
stage?

RECEIVER BANCRoFrs REPORT.
Net Earnings of the ID. 4 II. 6.
Western for the Past Eighteen
Months Nearly Half q Mil.
! lion Dollars.

Receiver Bancroft has submitted his
financial statement of the business of the
d. & r. G. Western, covering period of
eighteen months from July 12th,. 1884,
when he assumed the duties of the Re-
ownership. We question whether the
showing will not prove as astonishing to
the public as it is gratifying to the many
friends and well-wishers OF the " Little
Giant" When it is remembered that
the road has suffered an almost intermin-
able number OF washouts and other dis
asters which have been quite as unavoid-
able as they have been costly, and when
too, the character of the times, in a bust
ness sense, is considered, the showing
made in the following figures seems al
most Incredible, and will effectually con-
firm in the estimation of his friends and
the people everywhere that Mr.. Bancroft
was eminently fitted for the great re-
sponsibilities entailed in the Receiv-
ership.
1t will be seen that during the eighteen
months which the statement embraces
there has been net gain of almost half
million dollars, which will be crafty
ing news to the stockholders, and tends
to demonstrate what the possibilities of
the road are, and what may reasonably
be anticipated for the future.
The following is the tabulated state

Salt Lake City Brewing Company.

We notice that certain of our COM
petitors advertise Beer of superior
quality" Now, we do not wish to detract
from the merits of that article, nor do we
claim that our manufacture is the finest
in the world. We do maintain. however,
that we are selling as much or more Beer
than all the other Breweries in Utah
combined, which fact is sufficient
evidence that the public realize who
makes the superior quality" Beer.
We are prepared to deliver Holiday
Beer promptly. Orders can be left at any
of our depots, or telephone direct to

The Marshaps Courtesy to Nicholson

Through the courtesy of Marshal Ire
land, John Nicholson was yesterday per-
mitted to attend the funeral services of
the late Francis Plat in the Thirteenth
ward Assembly Rooms. Mr.. Nicholson
did not address the assembly from the
pulpit, but a somewhat lengthy paper
which he had carefully prepared and
which contained personal "reminiscences
of the life of the deceased was read by
Bishop Whitney. The ex-editor had been
close acquaintance of the deceased for
great many years, and was quite elo-
quent in his eulogy.
The fare at the Pen does not seem to
have gone hard with Mr.. Nicholson-at
least there was no evidence of it in his
appearance.

ALI the Same Angns.

Apostle Lorenzo Snow gave to the court,
last Thursday, in Ogden, the same assur-
ance which Angus Cannon offered before
Judge Zane, viz: That he had observed
the requirements of the Edmunds law,
in putting away his wives, etc. This is
covertly coming "within the law" and
lacks only one thing of making it perfect
obedience-the promise, in good faith to
do what they acknowledge having done
voluntarily.

scarcely more pronounced than the almost
perfect characterization of James by Mr..

Fralse Where Praise Belongs.

We reproduce from the State, with great
satisfaction, the following well-merited
tribute to Mr.. c. f. WNGO, chairman OF
the Democratic City Committee, and the
gentlemen who aided him during the re-
cent campaign In the work Of "organizlng
victory" Our contemporary does not laud
Mr.. WINGO one whit more than he de-
serves. Nor does it say word too much
in praise OF bis associates. We quote:
"Wben the Democratic City Central Com
mittee excited Mr.. Charles L. Wing chair
man OF the city Democracy that gentleman
accepted the position under protest. but he
said he would do the best he could. He l.
q man OF large business Gifairs, hut no
sooner had he been elected than he set to
work to secure O Democratic triumph.
Few campaigns have required closer at
tention than the one just ended; few
city chairmeD have had more onerous
duties TO perform than Chairman Wingo.
How well those duties have been per-
formed the active political workers
of Richmond can tell. Mr.. Wingo
has been astute and aggressive and his
splendid services place him in the front
rank OF Virginia's patriotic sons. The
chairman was ably assisted in the campaign
work by the ward superintendent, the
officers OF the ward clubs, and by the entire
CITY Committee. All these active workers
will accord Mr.. Wingo the praise which he
deserves, and the people OF Richmond owe
each and every one OF the workers, from
the chairman down, an enthusiastic vote OF
thanksr

Observation-Disclosures.

With the single exception OF Virginia,
the states have all elected the candidates.
whether Democratic or Republican, whose
election bad been expected. A gain for the
Democrats In one district and gain for the
Republicans IN another district, and gene
raj balancing OF results, which left things
very much as they were before, was
the rule all over the Union last Tues
DAY, except, we repeat, In Virginia. we.
do not except even Ohio; because
The Ohio Legislature Of last winter gerry
wandered that state so as 10 make 1t posi-
BILE for the Republicans TO elect fifteen out
OF twenty.one congressman, and they seem
TO have done II.
Again: Nobody can tell why the Demo-
erat. should have gained a Protectionist
Democrat in Connecticut and gained seve-
raj Tariff. Reform Democrats in the sister
New. England State OF Massachusetts,; nor
why Mr.. CARLISLE should have lost heavily
IN his own county; nor why FRANK HURD
should have been defeated in district
wbIch 1t was thought had been converted
TO his tariff views by his efforts; nor why
CARUTH should have been defeated In the
Louisville district, though tariff-reform'
or; nor why Rhode Island should have
failed to elect congressman at all in one
Of her two districts, mo candidate having
a majority, though Judge BRADLEY, Demo-
crat, had pluralityJ stronghold
Of RepublIcanism that she is; nor
why in New York two Democratic
districts and one Republican should
be changed, whilst in Pennsylvania two
Republican districts and one Democratic
were changed; nor why that South-hater
RANNEY, who treated JoHN G0oDE so badly
last winter, should have been defeated in
Massachusetts,.
We see nothing discouraging outside OF
our own State. We do not at all feel as IL
the Democracy had suffered defeat. The
skies are bright almost everywhere except
here, and will be bright here next year.

Tho Solid South.

Don't flatter yourselves, We Republicans,
that the South is not as solid as ever against
Republican misrule and sectional oppres.
SION. There will be from the South just
about as many Republicans in the next
House OF Representatives as there are in
the present House. The difference will not
be worthy OF moments consideration.
We do not know that there will be even
one more, leaving Virginia out OF the
count. And we are confident that sue will
"never do so again."
Better, far better, defeat this year than
next. Next year will be our time TO tri-
umph. Next year, warned by our expe-
rience OF this year, we shall carry the Legis-
lature, whether Mr.. BARBOUR is our leader
or not. Think what we have escaped, il
our success this year would have caused
us to become apathetlc next year. and so
have resulted in the election OF a MALONE
Legislature, and in MAHONE's return TO the
United States Senate. We say, thank
Heaven for congressional defeat rather
than a legislative defeat, II we had to be
taught by either,

The Providence Journal and the Augusta
Gal Chronicle have fallen out, and are en-
gaged in very pretty fight. Each paper
is entirely competent to take care OF itself.
and we would not be inclined TO interfere
were it not for the fact that the Journal
aims back-banded blow at the Dispatch
The journal says;
awe do net allude to the editorial in the
Chronicle for the purpose OF engaging in
any pOSt.mortem controversy. The rebel.
lion Is as dead as Julius Caesar, and the
North Is only anxious that the South should
prosper in all its material and social inter
ests. And now, when we have
almost conquered the pugnacity OF the
Richmond Dispatch, up rises the Chronicle
TO tight over the old battles in the old man
ner."
"Almost conquered the pugnacity OF the
Dispatch" is good. When the Journal
| admits that the rebellion Is a. dead as
julius CESAR" it shows pretty plainly, we
think, that it was the Journal, and not the
Dispatch, that was conquered. The OBJ.
ject OF most Of our controversies with our
Providence contemporary was to force
from ii just such an admission.
