Great Democratic Exodus,
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
I've got little information that will
make THE HERALD sell like hot cakes.
There doesn't anybody know about it
yet, but it is correct all the same. I got
it from reliable source: 1t is to the
effect that the Democratic party is
negotiating with the Mexican Republic
for quarter section of land, and IS
soon as the papers are all fixed they're
going to move. guess, and you know
I'm awful cute at guessing, they're 60
ing to coop with the Mormons and
form a grand United Order, and Cleve-
land is going to be the President of the
Church. They can't stand the press,
and Mexico offers many Inducements in
the way of cheap wool and lead. There
is no surplus IN the treasury to bother
with, ana the tariff wants fixing.
Now that Harrison is President of
the United States, / want to see him go
for the Democrats and the Mermons,
for go they must whether they want to
or not. tell you the people amt 60
ing to stand it any longer. They don't
want any foolishness about it. In q
Republican government like ours, the
majority always rules, and the major
lty of the people in the United States
have emphatically declared that the
Democrats and the Mormons must
go.
Some people don't understand this
majority business, so 1 think l had
better explain it to them little. In
all republics they put up man once in
while for president, though sometimes
in France, Mexico and other South
American Republics, they put him
down. Well, there are lots of parties,
of course, and each party puts up q
man, and sometimes they throw in q
woman. Now, suppose there are a
thousand votes in the United States,
and there are ten parties; that makes a
hundred 10 a party; eight of them get
hundred votes piece, the ninth one
gets ninety nine, and the tenth hun.
bred and one; of course, he wins, you
see. because he's got a majority of
votes, and that's what they call ma
jority in a Republican government.
1t is great improvement over an Inn
perial government; for instead of the
people being swallowed whole by one
big fish, there is a host of little ones
peeklng at them. 1t is more pleasant
to go all at once, it makes you sort of
dizzy, and this way the people last
longer if the government doesn't.
And again, it is in perfect accord with
the law of progress as laid now by Her
bert Spencer: it is from the homage
neous to the heterogeneous. A Re
publican government is a progressiv e
one; it doesn't stand still; 1t goes like
a clock, till it is run down. am awful

"After lunch. His Majesty spends
some time in reading the newspapers
and books. All of the leading Japa-
nese newspapers come to his palace,
and he watches closely the current OF
public opinion. Many of the news
papers are marked, and in the case of
the foreign papers of Japan the more
prominent articles are translated for
him. Articles in the New YORK, Lon
don and Paris papers, which have a
bearing upon Japan, are also trans
lated and handed to him to read, and
ne is especially fond of the ilIustra ed
foreign papers. The whole of such
papers as Harper's Weekly and the Lon
don Graphic are regularly translated
for the Emperor, and he looks over the
pictures and reads the articles relating
to them in the Japanese translation.
He thus keeps posted on what is going
on the world over. After reading, he
takes his exercise and his dinner comes
in the evening. Sometimes the En-
press dimes with him, and at times the
little prince, who is the heir to the
throne, has seat at the table. Both
have, however, their separate estab-
lishments. The dinner is served in
table d'hotel style, and with all the
European accomplishments"

"What are the Emperor's favorite
exercises?" I asked.
"He is especially fond of horseback
riding" replied the chamberlain. "He
has about 300 horses in the royal news
and he sits horse well. He has big
race track in the grounds of the new
palace, and he is much interested in
horse breeding as well as in horse rae
ing. He attends the races in Toxic
and in Yokohama, and he is very fond
of watching his mobiles play polo. This
game is often played inside of the
palace grounds, and His Majesty often
hunts deer and wild pigs on his royal
preserves. He shoots well, but. as
rule, he prefers to watch the others
hunt A party of mobiles accompanies
him, and there are many pheasants as
well as larger game. Another fayorite
pursuit of the Emperor is duck net
ting, and there will be opportunities
for this sport in the new palace
grounds. The regions about Toxic are
FLIED with ducks at certain times of the
year, and these are decoyed into
bitches about twelve feet wide and
then caught in hand nets thrown by
the mobiles. November is one of the
best months for this sport, and it is not
unusual for US to catch 200 in day.
AS in other sports, the Emperor prefers
to look on, though he sometimes
throws a net himself"

ABOUT THE MIKADO.
First Peep Behind the Scenes
of the japanese Emperor
HOW HE TALKS AND ACTS.
Something About His Numerous
Wives, and a Look at the Empress
The Crown Prince

TOXIC, October 31.-[Special Core
spondence of THE HERALD.]-I have
just had most remarkable Journalistic
experience. I have interviewed the
most prominent of the Mikado's court
chamberlains on the home life of His
Majesty. Such an interview has, be-
lieye. never been held before. 1t would
have been impossible twenty years ago,
and twenty-five years ago, if success
full, it would have been death to the
chamberlain and imprisonment to me.
At that time, it was treason TO zane
aloud the personal name of the Mikado.
In writing it, it was against the law to
pen the name i'll full, and one of the
strokes or letters had to be left out,
No one except the wives of the Emperor
and his highest ministers ever saw his
face. His divine features were never
unveiled to public gaze. Kept in the
seclusion of mis- palace at Kiota, he was
reveIed as a god by the people, and
when he went abroad in the city, he
rode in 9 closely-curtained car drawn
by bullocks. His sacred feet never
touched the earth, and when he died it
was supposed that he would enter the
company of the gods. He was at this
time the Emperor of Japan, but he was
only a nominal emperor. The COM
mander-ln- chief of the Imperial army,
under the title of Shotgun, administered
his affairs, and these commanders-in-
chief, who succeeded one another by
hereditary descent, had for generations
usurped the real authority of the gov
eminent, while they thus kept the
MIkado in a sort of glass case, and held
him up as a spiritual rather than a
temporal ruler. He had all the titles,
and plenty of reference. His power,
however, was limited to the control of
his wife and his twelve concubines,
and the 6hoguns kindly relieved him OF
all the duties of an Emperor They
managed his treasury, made the laws
governing the country and ate up the
taxes.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-16

The Emperor Of Japan is rich. he is
allowed 81. 900 year for his house
hold department, and his private for
tune is large and increasing. The
chamberlain tells me that he thorough
ly understands business matters, and
that he keeps himself well informed as
to his Investments. Some of these are
in the public lands and roads, and they
are, of course, managed by men ap-
pointed by him. The household de-
partment is as much a part OF the
Japanese government as is our navy or
department of war part of the United
States government. 1t has to do with
all matters relating to the Imperial
palace and to the Mikado. 1t pre-
scribes the ceremonies, and attends to
all matters connected with the life of
the Emperor and the Empress. 1t has
q board of chamberlsins, board of
ceremonies, department which takes
care of the Emperor's horses, and one
which has charge of the imperial
sepulchres. In contains a bureau of
nine imperial physicians, and 1 note
that Prince Iwskura is grand master of
the imperial kitchen and its cooking.
It was at the royal household depart
ment that l held my interview with
the court chamberlain. We sat for two
hours together, and chatted of the
Emperor's habits. "His Majesty" he
said, sis q very studious man. He
rises early, and breakfasts at or 8
O'Clock. He uses the knife and fork in
eating when he takes foreign food, and
he adopts the chop-sticks at bis Japa-
nese dinners. He eats at table, and
sits upon chairs. He varies his meals,
sometimes taking foreign food and
sometimes Japanese. He is fond of
meats, and has a well-trained Japa-
nese cook to serve them for him. 1t is
not customary for him to eat with the
Empress, and he usually eats alone
After breakfast is over he goes to his
study, and here at o'clock he re-
ceives such ministers of state as have
matters to report to him. He knows
his ministers, and understands the
departments over which they are
placed His audiences with them often
last until u o clock. at this hour he
returns to his own room and takes his
lunch. This usually consists of fish
meats, bread and wines. He is good
eater, and likes good wine."

The royal palace of the Mikado is
now approaching completion. 1t is an
immense labyrinth of courts, passages
and spacious apartments with mats

This state OF things went on for hun
dreds of years. A feudal system grew
up under it The lords of this system
became enervated by luxury. and the
chief officers under them, about twenty
years ago, organized a revolution to
give back to the MIkado his real power.
The present Emperor was then upon
his throne. He was just 10 years old i.
The revolution was successful. The
Shotgun was oVerthrown, and the En-
peror was taken by the revolutionists to
Toxic and declared Emperor in fact.
This was the beginning of the progress
sive movement in Japan. The young
Mikado came out of his curtained Sc
cIusion, and before the court he
promised that changes should be made
In the empire; that a deli5eratiTe as
semby should be formed; and that all
measures should be decided by public
opinion. He promised that impartial
ity and Justice should be adopted as a
basis of action, and that intellec; and
learning should be sought tor through
out the world in order to establish The
foundations Of the empire. 1t was
upon this basis that the new govern

sands OF Japanese have been travelling
over the world seeking the best of all
kinds for Japan. Since then, many of
the old customs have been thrown
away. Railroads, telegraphs and
schools have been established. Inter
course with other nations has been
kept up, and the Mikado rules the new
Japan. If I am correctly informed, he
is deeply interested in its progress, and
he looks forward anxiously toward the
opening of the Parliament, which takes
place in 1890.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-16

The Emperor, the Empress and the
Crown Prince make up the royal fam
lily, or at least the three most impor-
tant members of it. Each of these
three have, as 1 said, an establishment
of their own inside of the palace
grounds. The Crown Prince is heir
apparent to the throne. He is the son
of the Emperor by Madame YangiWaia,
and not by the Empress Haruko. The
Mikado of Japan has the right to twelve
concubines in addition to the Empress,
and the children of these. in case of the
failure of issue by the Empress, have
the right to the throne. They are all
legitimate and noble, and it is to these
concubines in times past that the noblest
of the court families of to-day date
their origin. Very little is known about
them outside the royal palace. These
royal mistresses do not appear at the
court ceremonies, and | am told that
each has her little establishment inside
of the palace grounds. They are part
of the constitution of the royal family,
and in the directory of Japan for this
year find that the Emperor has had
BY them nine children, though all with
the exception of three of these have
died. Children thus born have moth
ing to do with their mothers and the
young prince was brought up apart.
asked the court chamber ain about this
department of the palace. He would
say nothing and said it was not proper
for him to discuss such private mat
ter of the Emperor's.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-16

The Mlkado has the bluest blood of
any ruler on the face of the earth
The present dynasty of Japan runs
back to the gods, and his Imperial Ma
jesty is the one hundred and twenty
first Emperor of Japan. The Japanese
have their history and their mythology,
and the present Emperor comes from
Jimmu Tenno, who was the first Mikado,
and who ruled Japan $50 years before
Christ was born. This man was a de-
scendant of the sun goddess, and Nut
suhito, the present Emperor, traces his
descent directly from him. Japanese
history gives the story of each of the
120 emperors between the two, and ii
you will think a moment you will see
how far back ego B. G. is. This was
before Rome had become an empire.
England was unknown even to the
Romans, and hundreds of years we're
yet to elapse before Caesar penetrated
Ga1l. The present Emperor was bern
at Alota, November Sd, 1852 He was
declared heir apparent to the throne
WEen he was years old, and he sue
ceeded on the death of his father in
1867. He was crowned in 1868, and was
MARI at the age of II, in 1869.
= His Imperial Majesty is now Sc wears
old. Let me tell you how he looks
He is taller than the average Japanese.
and his appearance is not half as i'm
posing now as when he wore the rich
Japanese costumes, and sat cross-leg-
ged on his mats of state. He has a
dark brown csfe-au lait complexion.
and his eyes, which look out through
almond Sits, are of brilliant black.
His hair is very thick, and he parts 1t
IN European style. 1t is combed we'll
up from a good forehead, and His
Maiesty's eye brows have a decided
arch, which is indicative of Japanese
beauty. His nose is large and inclined
to hatness. It has the wide nostrils of
the Japanese, and His Majesty's lips
are thick. He is of medium size, but is
inclined to stoop, which l imagine may
come from the earlier part of his life

floor. He wears moustache and chin

He chatted quite freely, however,
about the crown prince. Prince
Haru," said he, is now years old, and
he was proclaimed heir to the throne
about year ago. He is a bright, brave
boy and very fond of military affairs.
He dresses in European clothes and his
costume is that of soldier. The En-
peror was very much pleased the other
day by having him give him military
salute when he met him, and Japan ex-
poets great things of him. He walks
very straight, and though dignified,
is a thorough boy. He is fond of
boat racing and goes out every
day somewhere. He likes fishing
and is by no means backward
in his studies. He attends the MOBILES
school, and he is there on the same
footing as are the others. 1t vexes him
very much when the other boys learn
their lessons better than he does his,
and he works 80 hard that he stands
well up to the head of his class. He
was sent to this school in order that this
rivalry might make him study the
harder, and he is acquiring a thorough
education. He is now beginning to
study English, and he knows one or
two words of French and German,
which he gets off when he meets the
foreign ministers; these are such words
as bon jour and guten tag. and they are
always applauded and appreciated.
