fund Of that amount. If ii is conceded
that the superintendent Of insurance
has this power, then it would neces-
sarily follow hat the Auditors OF the
different states could agree to hold
national convention and entail large
expense without any legal authority
therefor, and then under the pretense
Of contingency having arisen, tax all
the expenses to the state. 1t Is con
ceded that the auditors may do so, 1t
necessarily follows that the different
secretaries of state may do likewise;
that the governors of the states may
do the same, and in fact all officers Of
the states, whether elective or ap-
pointiye.
Il do not think such was the intention
Of the legislature when IL created a con-
tingent fund for the superintendent of
insurance, or when ii created a con-
tingent fund for any of the other state
officers, 1 think the intention of the
legislature was that this fund should
be used in the performance of the legal
duties of the different officers for whom
a contingent fund was created.
Il am therefore forced to the conclu-
sion that your action in refusing to
audit the claim of the superintendent
of insurance for expenses in attending
the national meeting Of the superin-
tendants Of insurance in the state OF
Michigan, and in refusing to draw
warrant upon his contingent fund was
right, and in strict accordance with the
letter and the spirit of the law, and that
under your oath of office, it is your duty
TO refuse to allow this claim"

DECLINING OIkIGsNAE POETRY
IN Ghi7NA.

Many editors who read this no doubt
rejoice that they do not live In China,
yet it must be confessed that during
the season when poems como in on
"the beautiful snow" or 'the return
OF spring." there are editors who feel
that there is but little choice between
editing n newspaper in "the fowery
Kingdom" aud in this liberty loving
country of ours.
When q Chinese editor declines n
spring poem. says an exchange, he
does not chuck 1t in the waste basket
az Is the American custom, but instead,
ne writes the author q smooth letter, of
which the following is an extract
OF fair sample:
Industrious brother of the sun and
moon-Behold thy servant PROSTATE
before thy feet. L bow to thee and
beg that Of thy graciousuess thou
hsyst grant that I mey speak and live.
