, PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has opened
the white house grounds again to the
public, and the people of Washington
may now play in Uncle Sam back
yard. During both the Cleveland
administrations the gates were al
ways kept locked, except for half an
hour between 8 and 8 in the morn
ing and between 4 and 3 in the after
noon, so that the clerks might take
advantage of a short cut on their
way to and from the several execu-
tive departments. Whenever the
gates were opened, however, a
policeman stood by to see that no
improper person entered, and If
anyone tarried on the way he was
always hustled along.

VOTE Eyes" ON THIS.

The most important constitutional
amendment to be voted on by the
people at the election Monday is that
of raising the salary of the attorney
general from $500 to 50, 800 and
making it mandatory for that officer
to reside at Lansing. The adoption
of thus amendment would save the
state many thousands OF dollars, do
away with the farming out of bust,
ness Of the attorney general and
secure infinitely better service.
No lawyer of ability can afford to
give all his time to the state for $500
a year, no lawyer with a decent
practice can afford to remain at
Lansing, even during the sessions
Of the legislature, for less than
81 800 or -, 900.
The duties Of the attorney general
are numerous and most OnprouS. He
is the adviser Of the governor, the
auditor general and, in fact, all of
the state officers. His opinion is
frequently solicited by prosecuting
attorneys. Then, too, he is called
upon daily during sessions Of the
legislature for advice ON Important
bills.
The attorney general conducts all
litigation for and on behalf Of the
state except criminal cases in the
county courts. His office is as i'm
portant as any legal office in the
gIft OF the people of Michigan. vet
he receives tie bvGguriy pittanre Of
SSOO a year. while the supreme
Judges get $1,000.
No state in the union paws IFS ~.
'orncy general such miserIy wages
rs we pay ours. Colorado pays its
attorney $3,500; Kansas s.. 800:
Louisiana 81, 600; Maryland 50, 600:

Wisconsin $1,000. Michigan is the

to e. 600.

errors have advocated raising 1uc

Up to Date Computing.

The Philadelphia Record is sponsor
for the folio wing statement, which if true,
shows that electricians use improved
methods of calculating fully up to date:
"Prof. Henry Morton enlightens the
general public on one of the tricks, or
traditional myths, of the electric light
business. According to his revelation
the so-called 2,ooo-candle power arc
lamp is in reality only 5oo-candle
power light. But, the ingenious electric
light company official explains, if you
measure them from the north they will
measure 5oo-candle power; it you meas
ure them from the east they will measure
5oo-candle power; if you measure from
the south they will measure 5oo-candIe
power, and if YOU measure them from the
west they will measure 5oo-candle pewer.
And. therefore, you see, we have got
2ooo.candle power."

GREECE OvERWlLLiNG.
But the Turks Are Disposed to Continue
the War.

London, May I2-Greece has gladly
given her consent to the peace offers by
the powers, but Turkey is less willing, as
the sultan believes that greater advan-
tages may be secured by dealing direct
without the Intervention of the powers.
He wants the Greek fleet as part of
the war indemnity, as he has no money
to spend and the Turkish fleet needs
strengthening. The Grecian crews stand
ready to dynamite the ships in the event
of Turkeys wishes being complied with
in the matter.
The dispatches state that the army at
Domokos are in desperate straits for
want of food. Yesterday they had moth
ing but small portions of bread and
cheese 1t is said that the Greek defeat
is due largely to the poor handling of the
commissary department..
The Turkish forces are being massed
steadily and sent to the front. The rep-
resentatives of the powers have protest.
ed but have been stood off with promises
The Turks seem unwilling to grant an
armlstice and total cessation of hostili-
ties, without which peace negotiations
are impossible.
