ToGo's HAPPY SPEECHES.

Admiral Togo is about to leave this
country after succession Of entertain
ments and. hospitalities, which his
heroic system has been able to re-
spond to without suffering; although
we note that one of his aides had to be
removed from a banquet table in fit
of Indigestion. Admiral Togo himself,
however, is of heroic mould, although
not of giant proportions, But what
there is Of him seems to be of fiber
beyond all yielding. Throughout his
visit to the United States he had not
only created the most favorable i'm
preston by reason of his modesty and
his retieence. but also by reason Of the
fitness of what he does and says, al-
though the latter may be Of small
quantity, yet of significant meaning.
Admiral Togo's speech at the ban
quet given him by the Japanese So
ciety in New York dwelt specially upon
the idea Of peace and on the amicablc
relations that have always existed be.
tween Japan and the United States. He
tions, and seized the occasion to de-
clare himself among the foremost advo-
Gates of maintaining these friendly re-
lations, in order that the two countries,
which have so long lived in harmony
and cordial friendship, may continue to
do so for ever. And he revised the
old sentiment that peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war, to
Peace hath its victories more re.
nowned than those of war; 1t was a
splendid sentiment, fitly uttered, on an
occasion that was well adapted to the
utterance
The Admiral will leave America with
the abiding friendship Of every pa
triotic American, and with the knowl
edge that at all times he has said
the right thing, and that his visit has
worked strongly for friendliness and
for peace,

MIR. KERENs ON CONDITIONS,

In The Tribune yesterday morning
ambassador r. c. Kerens, our Repre-
sentative at the Austrian court, dwelt
strongly upon the advantages of the
Panama canal to- all this mountain
region. He discussed the matter very
much ms The Tribune recently did in
an editorial on this special question.
We stated that, in view Of the com,
pletion of the canal. Salt Lake City
would be but about 700 miles from the
sea coast; and in place of having
rail haul of upwards of 1000 miles:
its rail haul on staple goods will
NOT be, after the completion of the
canal. more than one-tbird Of what it
is now. Freights should be cut down
accordingly, and Mr.. Kerens carries out
this thought in excellent fashion. He
points to the advantages Of the Salt
Lake Route, of the great terminal
which it has at San Pedro harbor, and
the advantages that all this region will
derive from the great shipping facili'
ties. that are expected. to spring up
there from the development Of tho
canal trade.
Mr.. Kerens is quite right in his fore
cast of the conditions that will exist
on the completion of the canal The
channels of trade will be revolution
lied, and the line from here to Los
Angeles and San Pedro will spring
into prominence undreamed Of at the
time Of it's building. Even then, though
the line was well estimated to be of
high Importance. a paying enterprise,
one that should develop an immense
and rich country, and that would do
heavy business. With the opening
of the Panama canal, as pointed out
by Embassador Kerens in line with our
own forecast, this line can easily be
made most important freight carrier
and trade feeder of Salt Lake City.
The idea is one that is entirely feasible,
one that Mr.. Kerens plainly sees, and
that, on being pointed out, must be
recognized, it seems to us, by every
discerning person. And all the other
routes will gladly respond to the new
conditions.
Mr.. Kerens points the way for bril-
liant future for Salt Lake, even be-
yond that which those accust to
dwell on the bright future Of this city
had taken into account. 1t is all a
very. splendid forecast for this city,
and one that must be immensely graft
flying to all of our business men.

A number of former censuses, or at
tempts at censuses, have been reported
from China. The results of these ear
lier attempts at enumeration in China
proper, made by the Chinese Board of
Revenue, were as follows; 1871 census,
190,257 900; 1912 census, 3so,440,o 900;
1S42 census, 41s,o21, 900; 1882 census,
3s1,3o9,oo0; 1885 census 377,63s,ooo
1t looks to use as though the present
census is about as little to be depended
upon as any, because the discrepancies
between that and the census of 1885
are too variable and too great There
is no reason to suppose that there have
been any such changes in the population
Of the provinces Of China as would be
indicated by these comparative figures,
Nor can we suppose that the world will
be any better convinced now than it
has been heretofore that an accurate
census of China has been taken.

BRYAN AS THE CHoosER.

1t is amazing to see the assurance Of
Mr.. Bryan in assuming to be the guide
and dictator of the Democratic party,
spite of all that has been said of the
reputation of his leadership. both in
his home State and by the Democratic
majority in the House of Representa-
tives, he still holds to the idea that he
is supreme in the party, He says fatty
that he intends to devote all of his
time between now and the Democratic
nomination for President to finding out
about all the leading men of the party,
those who have hindered and those who
have helped its progress. Tt is well
understood that his idea Of hindering
the Democratic party is the act of
those who have refused to support
him. and that those who have helped it
are those who have helped to nominate
and have voted for him,
1t is very narrow view TO take
of party fealty and obligation. but it
is evident that Mr.. Bryan considers
himself and his personal fortunes the
true test of party loyalty, Those who
have been for him are good Democrats;
those who have not have betrayed their
party. And he runs his cup of as
sumption over when he says that
"when the time comes to name the man
for the candidacy, 1 will not be
silent - That means, if it means any
thing, that Mr.. Bryan intends and ex-
poets to name the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency next year. And in
the meantime, it may fairly be judged
from his address, that he will under
take to tear down the fences OF any
aspirant Of whom he does not approve.
1t is all remarkable assumption for
Mr.. Bryan to make, in view Of his en-
phatic repudiation by the Democratic
party Of Nebraska, and by the Demo
cratic majority in the House. 1t will
be titanic struggle indeed if he
should undertake to make his assump.
tions good. and whether he should sue.
ceed or not, he would be likely TO
destroy whatever chance his party has
to win

MONETARY COMMISSION REPORT.

We see that the Senate has adopted
the Cummins resolution calling for a
report from the Monetary Commission,
amending the date when this report
must be in to January sth in place of
December 18th, as Senator Cummius
suggested. The main thing, of course,
is not the particular date. but to get
the report.
The resolution now goes TO the
House, and there appears to be no rea.
son to expect any opposition there to its
adoption. For. surely, the country is
entitled to hear from that commission,
although its chairman, Mr.. Aldrich,
evidently despaired Of the commission
getting together on any report when
he submitted his own views last win
ter.
Tho resolution as adopted by the
Senate does not provide for the dis
solution Of the commission. This,

however, ought to 60 with the report.

the commission should be submitted at
the same time when the report is made,
if indeed report can be made at all,
of which there may be reasonable
doubt, in which case January Sth ought
to see the commission wiped ont,

RECALL OF JUDGES.

There is q singular narrowness ap-
the proposition involving the recall of
Judges Every argument that we have
seen in opposition to the recall of
Judges has been based on The PROPOSE
tion that the people, in case they have
the power, would recall judges on the
basis, of decisions that they render, or
rulings they make. 1t is assumed all
the time by the opposition to this re-
call that the people or politicians wish
to dictate what the judges shall decide
from the bench. But, the recall of
Judges has been in the constitution of
Oregon for some time, and no judge has
vet been recalled, nor has there been
any serious proposition to recall any
Judge, because of any decision made, OF
ruling in any trial.
Nor do we believe that the people, if
they have the opportunity to recall
Judges, would recall them with that
gay CELEBRITY with which they recall
mayors and councilmen Of cities; for
every one would recognize that the re-
call of Judge is quite different mat
ter from the recall of some administra
tive or political official.
One can easily conceive of a num-
Der Of reasons why Judges might not
unfairly be subject to recall, entirely
independent of any proposition of pun
,-t., lba,,,
There has been. for instance, a very
strenuous effort in many of the States
TO require the judges to keep up with
their calendars, and not allow them to
be so clogged as to practically deny
remedies In court to suitors. These
efforts have taken. the extreme form in
some cases Of requiring judges to GER
tify that their calendar is clear before
they can draw their quarterly salaries
This had bad effect however, and
was not widely initiated. But there Is
no doubt of the prevalent discomfort
of the people, discomfort known to
be shared and strongly voiced, even by
President Taft himself, at the inef,
icc'iNc anu IniuJ PiOccooco VI oui
courts. The delays amount to de-
nial Of justice; the techniealities, the
bubbles that are given Importance, all
tend to discredit the Judiciary Of the
country; aud the American Bar Asso-
citation has joined with President Taft
in preliminary efforts to remedy this
trouble. But, when Judges pay no at
tention to these complaints, allow their
calendars to become clogged while they
procrastinate and hold brief and in
effective sessions Of their courts. the
public, joining with President Taft,
and the high minded members Of the
National Bar Association, is demanding
remedy. One remedy might be the
recall Of judge who was fragrant
offender in this respect.
Another reason for the recall of a
Judge might be his personal character,
There have been attempts to impeach
Judges from time TO time by reason Of
allegations against the character of
such Judge; but, it is difficult to reach
an adverse verdict on Impeachment.
There is a certain tenderness or re.
luctapce to 60 harshly into the details

LATEST CENSUS OF CHINA.

China has always been the perplexity
of the Western world This relates not
only to her people. their tendencies and
their methods of life, but to their ways
of doing business, both personal and
public. One would naturally suppose
that an Empire with the power supposed
to adhere In the Emperor and his admin
istrators, would be able to take census
of the population that would be reason
ably trustworthy. Accordingly, not long
ago, when it was given out that re-
cent census had shown the population
of China to be upwards of 500000,0o0,
there was a disposition to accept the
figure as approximately true. But now
comes the Hon, William j. Calhoun,
American Minister to China, sending the
Department Of State census report
prepared by Rowland P Tenney, stu
dent interpreter at Peking, on the re-
suits of an enumeration of the popula
tion Of the Chinese Empire. which was
completed in January last by the Chi
nese Board of the Interior. This census
puts the population Of the entire En-
.pire at 329 ,542, 900, or but little more
than that of India. The population of
the city of Peking is returned as 1,017,.
200, and that Of the metropolitan dis
trics outside Of Pekiug. neither Of which
is included in the census of China proper
for some occult or unknown reason. as
4,654,219, But these figures cannot be
construed as other than mere approx
nations. since there was no attempt to
enumerate the individuals of the EN-
pire, but only the families or house
holds. Each household was supposed to
consist Of five persons, The number of
households or families in the Empire is
put at 59,S24 ,91s, distributed as fol

very much to his credit On the hftieth
anniversary Of his taking command at
Fortress Monroe, general order issued
by him relating to the use of liquor by
the troops there is cited as follows:
The geenral commanding does not desire
10 conceal the fact that he has been ac-
customed to use wines and liquors In his
own quarters, and TO furnish the same
TO friends, but as he desires never TO ask
either officers or men TO undergo any
prlyatton which he will not share with
them, he will not exempt himself from the
operation OF this order. but Will not use
1t In his own quarters he would not
encourage Its use in the quarters OF any
other officer.
That is stalwart, virile, Spartan
order; it is an honor to General Butler,
and it was manfulIy considerate of the
troops which he commanded 1t showed
that he was willing to be governed by
the same rule as to the use of liquors
that he imposed upon those in his
command, and it is at once high
tribute to General Butler g self denial
and his democratic spirit, When there
is criticism of Butler, as will come
along IN due course when the events
of fifty years ago are to be recalled
