THE ITALIAN DISPATCHES.

"The Herald" reprinted on Friday from the
Italian Green Book many OF the dispatches
which passed between Baron Fava and the
MARQUIS di Rudini during the interval between
the riot at New Orleans and the Baron's with
drawal from his post at Washington. Some of
the dispatches are interesting as illustrations
of the Italian Premier's ignoranty pompous
way of expressing his demands" Some are
interesting as a record of the conversations be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and the Baron. Several are
important for the proof they contain OF the
astonishing falsity OF certain statements made
by both the Premier and his Minister. In his
last note to the Marquis Imperiali the Premier
said in effect that he had gone as far as he
meant to 90 in the effort to bring our Govern
ment to his way of thinking, and he has since
deprecated all reference to the controversy IN
the Italian Parliament. This, of course, is
retreat, and we have no desire to pursue one
who is ceasing to offend and who now wishes
only to get away as fast as possible. But the
misstatements of the Italian representatives
warrant us in pressing them closely. They
have not merely insulted our people and our
Government, but have attempted by false and
deceitful statements to prejudice us in every

Favas statements to his Government on March

recall to Secretary Blaine.
In the former note this information is given
81 may add conhdentally that during our
conversation Mr.. Blaine gave us several times
to understand that demand for indemnity on
behalf of the families of the three murdered
subjects of His Majesty would be favorably en-
tertained." Now, nothing was said after this
date and before March 81 with regard to the
indemnity suggestion except that Mr. Blaine
insisted upon proof that the subjects so-called
were really subjects. On March 10 the Baron
writes "Nr. Blaine asked me to furnish him
with full particulars regarding the three Ital-
ian subjects who were murdered, their occupa-
tons during their residence in the United States
and the condition of their families~ He con-
cedes the propriety of this request, which is
obvious enough, by adding; "Mr. Corte will
soon send the details. of which Mr.. Blaine will
be fully informed" But on March 81, in an
nouncing his recall, after stating that the
reparation demanded by Italy is. first, "The

other tragedies of similar nature the latest
Of the revolving series having taken place a lew
davs since. Now and then while the story OF
tho ru;n and suicide of some Monte Carlo victim
is vet fresh in the public mind, the talk OF the
" suppression of gambling palaces at this place"
is renewed But in the rush of events any story
of the sort, however pitiful, is soon forgotten
and the hells are not suppressed. 4.
1t is a shameful state of things, and there Is
no reason why it should be tolerated. Monte
Carlo disgraces civilization, and some way ought
to be found, and that speedily, to suppress It,
If the ruler of the little principality has no
more moral sense than pirate-and evidently
he is precisely that sort OF personage-then he
is entitled to no more consideration than a
pirate. The European Powers in the common
interest for the sake of humanity, ought to
bring a pressure to bear upon him which he
would find it impossible to resist, compelling
him TO rid the Continent of so notorious a
pague-spot The task may be difficult, but it
is by no means impossible. Not so many years
ago gambling may be said to have been the
leading industry at the German watering
places, particularly at Baden baden. But in
the prosecution of the work of upbuilding the
German Empire the decree went forth that the
gambling -hells must go--and they went.
Monte Carlo possesses such great natural ad-
vantages, its climate is so salubrious, its sea-
bathing so fine, its gardens and promenades are
so lovely, that when one reflects that this
picturesque nook of the Riviera is the head
quarters of the gamblers of Europe he is moved
to exclaim, "Where every prospect pleases and
only man il vile" Here in the United States
strenuous effort is now in progress looking to the
uprooting and destruction OF the Louisiana lot

ful, since it is recognized by good men every
where as a menace of the general welfare, a
power for evil, and evil only. Let reformers
push things on both sides of the ocean, The
closing of the Monte Carlo hels and the stop
