correspondence between the governments
of the United States and Italy must take
place directly between Washington and
Rome.
1t is certain that Mr.. Porter. United
STATES minister to Italy, will not he re-
called. and this government will maintain
a pacific attitude and abide by the devel-
opnents Of the future. 1t is said by a
gentleman who has had large experience
in the diplomatic affairs of our govern
ment. hat declaration of war did not
necessarily follow such action as that of
the Italian government. There were
many precedents for it, nearly all of
which, however, we're among European
nations. Through a better understanding
of the differences that may exist. or
through the friendly intercessions of a
third power, these difficulties are often ad-
iusted without ecOurse to arms.
So far as is recalled, there have only
been a few instances where a foreign min
lister to the United States has been lie
called at the request of our government or
been given his passport. The first was
the French minister. Citizen Juenet, who
was recalled by the French government at

he was personally offensive to this coun-
try. The other case occurred at the time
of the war of 1912 with Great Britain,
when the minister from that country was
given his passports. There are no cases
recalled where a minister of the United
States to a foreign country has been given
his passports. though there may be one or
more instances OF this kind.

the letter OF Governor Nichols to Secre-

IL is assumed that Baron Fava sent a

ment OF the federal government in the
case. Nations, be pointed out, do not go

PHILADELPHIA, March &c. A.
Spreckels, son of Claus Spreckels, said
today that the reported agreement be.
tween his father and the sugar trust was
without foundation. He added that his
father would not make a deal with the
trust; that the report ha6 been repeatedly
circulated and denied. and there was no
more reason for talking about the matter
now than some time ago. The refinery
here would be operated as AT independent
concern. and would not be sold to the

dacy. That they can do. but it does not
look like honesty of purpose. Since
the Patrons and Prohibitionists have
previously decided not to put ia nomi-
nation candidate for circuit judge,
but leave that Office entirely TO the
choice of individuals, we doubt the
scheme receiving the sanction of those
committees. Nevertheless we deem it
necessary that our readers be cautioned

character, hence we say look well to

The attention of the people of the
State is being called to the Infamous
scheme which the Democratic bosses
of the State have in hand as fore
Swallowed at the caucus at Lansing
on Friday night, at which it was
boldly announced by Democratic
Senator that the necessary seventeen
votes would be obtained in the SEN
ate for the passage of the gerry
Wandering bills and theMiner bill to
choose presidential electors by con-
gressional districts and by which
the passage of these bills was practi-
cylly decided upon, but that none of
them be put through until after the
April election. A more Infamous or
rascally political proposition was
never Matched up in any State. But
what better can be expected of a
party that boldly endorses legisla-
tive steal without the shadow of
equity, and shamelessly permits a
self-confessed felon to hold a seat to
which he was not elected in order to
carry on the scheme herein outlined?
1t remains to be seen if the law
abiding people of the state will
sanction a scheme which is not only
subversive of popular government
in this state, but is clearly indefensi-
BILE upon any grounds of decency and
justice. Next Monday they will
have an opportunity to set the
seal of condemnation upon such
partisan rascality as is contemplated.

Attorney Generals Salary.
The Proposed Amendment in
CreaSing II But Diminishing
Expenses.

TO the electors OF Michigan
The Legislature has passed a joint
resolution, submitting to the people at
this springs election the question of
changing the salary of the Attorney
General from $500 to $500 per annum.
A committee was appointed in the
Senate to investigate the question as to
whether change in the manner of run
ming the Office would reduce expense
The salary of $500 fixed in the constitu-
ton is so low that those who have held
the office in the past have been COM
PEELED to donate a large amount of
service to the state or let the work be
done by other attorneys at the expense
of the state. The report of the Senate
committee shows Sl9, iS0 expended in
this way last year for outside help at
rates from $50 to 500 per day, exclusive
Of the amounts paid from the state
treasury to Prosecuting Attorneys in
criminal cases.
1t was determined by the Legislature
to change the method Of running the
Office, and the resolution to submit an
amendment, above referred to, passed
the Senate unanimously, and there was
practically 40 opposition to the same in
the House.
The move is not to give the Attorney
General more pay for the same work,
but to require more of the States bns-
mess to be done in the office and pay
less for outside help, In the bills now
pending, relating to this matter, ample
provisions are made to surround the ex-
penditures of that Office with suitable
safeguards, if the amendment be
adopted by the people.
The work in the Attorney Generals
department is unlike the clerical work
in the other departments: it is law
yer's work and he mnst do it himself
or superintend 1t, or it must be given
to the best attorneys in the state. who
will, of course, exact fees as in the past.
The present policy, resulting from a
salary smaller than what is paid most
Prosecuting Attorneys, is wrong, and
the people can save thousands of dollars
each year if they will change the salary
and allow the Legislature TO remedy
the evil. We recommend that the State
press bring the fact before their readers
and urge the adoption of the amend
ment. The amendment, in our judg- |
men., should receive the earnest sup
port of every paper that is in favor of
reducing taxation. We give it a hearty |
