THAT PANAMA SCANDAL.

From the sensational proceedings in the
French Chamber of Deputies yesterday
as described elsewhere-it is evident that
the Panama Canal business will develop
into scandal Of unsurpassed magnitude.
Among other charges it was asserted that
the Government was induced to permit
the issue of the infamous lottery bonds by
the distribution of three million francs
among hundred and fifty Deputies and
few Senator'S
From the prominence of the projectors,
the multitude of small shareholders who
all over the country invested their savings,
and from the Government permission to
issue the lottery bonds, the matter had
already obtained national importance.
And now these last charges of crooked
dealing on the part of Deputies and Sena-
tors puts the national honor directly at
stake. To-day parliamentary committee
is to be appointed with full power to make
a thorough investigation, and if the drain
age of whole sea of putrefying corrup-
ton do not result, no abuse can be too
severe for the men who made yesterday S
charges.

MACUNE GIVEN The LIE.

Chairman Washburn Says the Doctor Wan
ders Far From the Truth.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2L-Geo"ge F. W.
washburn, Chairman of the Eastern Divi-
sion National Committee, Peoples party,
says:
81 pronounce Dr. Macune's manifesto
published in last Sundays newspapers, to
be absolutely incorrect in every particular
wherein it relates to Mr.. Taubeneck or my.
self.
"First-At indianapolis we were emf
nently successful in every undertaking, were
not defeated in a single instance. and never
have been since, much to the discontinue
of Dr. Macune and his friends.
,Second-I positively denied the st. Louis
interview, alleged to have been held by Mr..
Macune, published in his own paper, the
Economist, last Friday, and he knows it Is
not true that Mr. Taubeneck and myself
made up q slate or controlled the election
of delegates in selecting officers for the
Farmers Alliance. The newspapers of
Memphis, as well as citizens in general, dis
cussed daily the merits of the rival candi-
dates. We merely exercised the same right
in working for our friends.
''Dr. Macune was defeated through our in
huence, but because of his own record. He
had appealed to every National Convention
the Farmers Alliance has held, asking Tor a
vindication of something improper he was
charged with having done. 1t Is rule or
ruin with him, and he now understands he
cannot do either with the Alliance"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-22
HOPING 1T MAY PROVE TRUE.

The report that Mr.. Cleveland has made
an effort to have Edward Murphy, the
Troy jobber in street railway franchises,
pulled off the track for United States Sem
ator in the interest of the Presidentelect's
personal selection, presumably William c.
Whitney, is gratifying. Of course the
story goes that MIR. Cleveland's request
was met with a very icy refusal.
That has been the result of Mr.. Cleve-
lands previous appeals to Tammany to
have his wishes respected. 1t IS worth
while to remember that a case very similar
to this marked the inception of Mr.. Cleve-
lands career when it was attaining
national proportions. He went so far as
to ask the retirement by Tammany of
State Senatorial candidate named Grady
on the ground of his personal comfort;
and the result showed that Mr.. Cleve-
lands personal comfort was the last thing
for which Tammany has any care. The
consequences since that have been that
Tammany and Cleveland have not pulled
together with any zest until they united
for the purposes of the late campaign.
If MI Cleveland has requested Mr.
Murphy's retirement it may be expected
that the step will so arouse the spolls
Democracy of New York as to ensure the
latter's election. But the matter would
nevertheless be very satisfactory one. 1t
will mark the separation between the new
administration and the Tammany element.
The more radical and complete that
rupture with the element of plunder and
spoils, the better for the nation. Indeed
such rupture would be better for the
public interest than the substitution OF
Mr.. Whitney for Murphy. The principal
difference between the two is one of gild-
ing. Both represent the power OF money
and the connection of corporations in
politics. Mr.. Whitney is the more polished
specimen of the two, and has already be-
come more famous as the entertainer OF
almost Lucullan feasts in Washington;
but of ability for disinterested and patriotic
legislation each has about the same mega
tive quantity.
1t is not well to pin too much faith on
the current stories about the President
elect, but we will hope that this one OF an
early split with the Hill-Tammany ele-
ment may prove to be true.

CHANCE FOR A TRUST,

The announcement that DR. c. W. Ma
cune, former leader of the Farmers AL
lance, after being turned down by the
late convention of that body, has decided
to organize Trust of the cotton planters
of the South, displays more than the
usual ignorance of the conditions neces-
sary to the successful organization of these
monopolistic combinations. 1t would be
impossible for any power on earth to
combine the cotton planters of the South
or the wheat or corn raisers of the West
into an organization having the power to
restrict production, suppress competition
or advance prices. In the first place, it
would require the union of million indi-
viduals in an agreement that was never
kept bya hundred; in the next place it
would necessitate some means of prevent
ing outsiders from planting new fields of
cotton; and after these two impossibilities
had been achieved, any advance in prices
secured by such means would simply hand
over the markets of the world to the cot
ton growers of other countries.
1t is much more likely that some i'm
aginative reporter has tackled this char
acter on Dr.. Macune's project than that ia
man Of his prominence should be so silly
as 70 suppose it possible to achieve any of
the monopolistic ends of the Trusts. The
details of his project indicate that it is
rather in the nature of cooperative
agency of the cotton planters to sell di-
rect to spinners, thus doing away with
middlemen and securing more liberal
rates of interest on advances. In view of
the heavy charges usual among cotton
factors it is quite possible that such an
agency would be successful in reducing

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Nov. 2L-Friday MI.
Guy Kelley, member of one of the wealth.

not long in accepting the challenge, or nam.
ing the time, place and weapons. In his
note of acceptance he politely refused to
fight with knives. He also declined the use
OF pistols. He. however, invited Mr.. Kelley
and his friends to meet h i'm on the reservoir
hill, where he would attempt to furnish him
some amusement in the nature OF q set-to
q In Sullivan-Corbett.
Mr.. Kelley and his friends were promptly
on hand and preparations were soon mado
and the fight began. A Mr. Buntin was Sec
ond for Kelley, Mr. Nahn Tor Herdman, and
T. j. Jones was referee. One round was
fought. and Mr.. Herdman, who is one of
the best all-around athletes i'll this

the better Of the affair. The second round
was begun, and just about the time it was
being finished toIether with Mr.. Kelley. the
police arrived on the scene and placed the
two young combatants. their seconds and
referee under arrest. The affair was the re-
suit of q note written by young Kelley to
one of Mr.. Herdman's girl friends.
