We have a doubt OF the accuracy OF the
printed by our German contempt
rary. the fossisrhC Zsitung. that German Is rap
idly displacing English as the principal foreign
language In Japan. and that the Japanese Gov
eminent has issued a rescript putting German
at the head OF the foreign languages to be taught
there. This information from Germauy IL not
in conformity with other recent formatio
upon the subject which is sssurcdly authentic.
For over a quarter OF a century the English has
been. as II yet is, taught in the University OF
Toxic, and In many Of the japanese normal and
technical schools. There are hundreds OF thou
sands OF Japanese who speak English, not only
in the seaports, where IL Is almost the only Eu-
ropean language heard. but in other parts of the
empire. Japanese scholars have for years been
making systematic efforts to bring about the
abolition OF the cumbersome characters in
which the japanese speech is written, and TO
substitute for them the English alphabet. They
have met with such success that there are at
this time japanese papers employing the native
language which print it with English letters.
The trade OF Japan with the two Engiish-speak-
ing countries. the United States and Great
Britain. Is vastly greater than that with Ger
many. The associations OF Japan with these
countries are far closer than with Germany:
and the interests OF Japan are more nearly
identified with them. SO marked has been the
spread Of the English in Japan, and 20 strong a
hold has 1t obtained upon the intelligence OF the
country that. some years ago. the Japanese
Minister to the United States expressed the
opinion that it would yet supersede the japanese
vernacular. which, he thought. would come to
be regarded as q fossilized curiosity.
The very best information upon the subject il

time TO time by our former fellow townsman,

There is one branch OF the public service
whereof the work is deserving of %unuuali-
fed praise, the life-saving service at sea.
The hardy seamen who brave the perils OF
the storm in this work, and the jealous off
GERS under whom they serve, are alike
worthy of all commendation The report OF
Superintendent KIMBALL for the fiscal year,
rs well as the seafaring news which we
print from time to time. furnishes ample
justification for these remarks. The ser.
vice must get credit for saving, within the
year, hundreds OF lives and millions of
property that were in danger of being
lost by shipwreck and it must he credited
with doing this at the least possible ex-
pense to the Government. The achieve
ments Of the year surpassed those Of any
previous year, even as the storms OF the
year were greater than those Of any other
since the Introduction of the existing sys-
tenn in 1871. Behind such OF the figures OF
the Superintendent report az we have
printed, there are sea tales as thrilling ss
any ever told.
As far back as lS47, Congress made a
small appropriation for the life saving ser
vice; but il was only twenty-three years ago
that 1t was properly organized, equipped,
and provided for. Through these years its
efficiency has been well maintained, IL has
ESQ stations, three fourths of which are
along the Atlantic coast, while others are
on the lakes; il has a Board on Life saving
Appliances it has telephone lines for prompt
operations, and il has a good corps of assist
ant superintendents, experts, inspectors.
station keepers. and mariners. There are
not, in any country OF the world, better life
saving stations than those Of the United
States, The service is attached to the
Treasury Department.
There is rich material for true stories Of
peril, adventure, and herOism, and for no
mances in real life To III found among the
records Of the life-saying service of the

The unthinkins advocates OF labor often point to

Governor Morton and the New Judges.

The probability that the twelve new JUS
tices OF the Supreme Court provided for by
the revised Constitution can be appointed
by Governor MORTON Immediately after he
assumes Office is naturally exciting much
interest in Republican circles. There are a
great many Republican lawyers in the State
who would make excellent Judges, and
some Of them are evidently acquainted with
the old adage which suggests the advisa-
bility Of taking time by the forelock. or the
other saying which advises a man to strike
while the iron is hot.
The argument in favor OF the Governors
power to appoint is based upon the prece-
dent In the case of Judge ERAsTUS COOKE
Of Brooklyn, who held the Office OF Supreme
Court Justice for a year by virtue OF an ap-
pointment by Governor CORNELL, under a
constitutional amendment resembling the
provision for the twelve additional Judges
under the new Constitution. Tn argument
against the Governors power is based upon
doubts as to the validity OF the COOKE ap-
pointment, which, however. was never
questioned in the courts, and upon the
pretty well-known fact that the Constitu-
tiOnal Convention did not suppose they
lHihs tue uONtTuOT W appoint
the new Supreme Court Justices in the first
instance, IL is nevertheless true that the
Governor is bound by what the Convention
actually put into the Constitution rather
than by what they thought they had put
into that instrument.
But there is a very simple way in which
this question Of power could Ike settled in a
fortnight after the first OF January. II the
Attorney-iienera advises the Governor tina
he may lawfully make the appointments,
let him appoint not all the twelve Justices
at first, but one Judge in a department
where the General Term Il sitting. The
first order granted by that Judge could be
taken at once before the General Term for
review, and hence TO the Cour OF Appeals.
II the Court of Appeals upholds the order
the validity Of the appointment Of the Judge
will be cOnclusively established. II the
Court of Appeals decides that the Governor
has no power TO appoint, no such confusion
will result as might follow the appointment
Of twelve Judges without authority. Should
the jurisdiction Of the first appointed Judge
be sustained, the Governor can appoint the
eleven others the next day, and their title TO
Ofice will be beyond question.
