EVIDENCE OF MA0UNEs CROOKED

only question Of time when his
villainy will be brought to the light
Of dag.
While DR.. Macune has been posing
as martyr before the National
Farmers Alliance and before the peo-
pie, and while he was being white
washed by investigating committees,
there have been q few men who have
all the time been morally certain of
his treachery to the principles he has
pretended to support, and OF the fact
that he was making merchandise OF
his official position in the Alliance for
his personal profit, Notwithstanding
they have not been IN possession OF
the kind Of evidence necessary to con-
vict. It was believed in 1891 that he
received money from the Louisiana
Lottery to be used in the election Of
that state, but not until recently have
the facts come to light with sufficient
certainty to Justify their publication.
Since coming to Washington some
correspondence has fallen into my
hands relating to this subject which
will be perused with interest by read
ers Of the ADVOCATE.
It will be remembered that the par
amount issue in Louisiana politics in
the primary election Of November,
1891, was the lottery question. The
people were divided upon that issue,
and it lowered 80 far above all others
as to be absolutely pre-eminent. The
friends of the lottery were mostly in
the cities and it's enemies were mostly
in the country. It was the policy Of
the lottery company to divide the anti
lottery vote. The method by which
this was sought to be accomplished
was by pressing the interests Of the
third party, and it will be seen by the
correspondence which we give below
that DR.. Macune was paid more than
$4,000 for the part he was to play in
this game Three thousand dollars
of this was to go to the Economist.
The speakers he was to furnish were
to be paid out of the other So, 900, and
the additional amount, which is not
stated, we are left to infer went to him
individually. The facts came to light
in consequence of his failure to pay
the speakers as he had engaged to do.
He sent them down there all right to
do the work, but left Mr.. Clayton to
foot the bill after they got there.
II should be stated in justice to the
speakers who were engaged to do this
work that they knew nothing of Ma
cune's plot or the purpose of it. 1t
was represented to them that their
services we're desired in the interest
Of the Peoples party; and, being
straight Peoples party men, they
acted in perfect good faith without
any knowledge of the real purpose
which the prime movers in the
scheme had in view. Had Macune
paid them for their services as he

Ah0 commissioners TO daWall l9
Tired of His Job.
SAN FRANCISCO, aug. 1.-Authentic
advlceS received here state that Minister
BlOunt has determined to turn over
matters in Hawaii as far as United
States interests are concerned to Com
modore Skerrett, OF the Boston, and
he will sail for the United rates on the
9th inst, without waiting for the aD-
pOintment of his successor. Mr. Blount
may, however, be expected to arrive at
San francisco Aug. u. Meantime his
report, which has been mailed by the
steamer Oceanic. will have preceded
him, and by the time the special COM
missioner and minister arrives III
the East the president and Secretary
Gresham Will have had full opportunity
to carefully consider its contents. The
intimatiOnS that Mr.. BIount has relin-
pushed his mission because he resented
his appointment as successor to Minis
ter Stevens does not appear to be borne
out Dy the facts. The appointment fol-
lowed Mr.. BlOunt's arrival in Honolulu
as natural and necessary feature of
the work placed in his hands, and the
minister's reason for returning to the
United States is his desire to give at
tentiOn to his personal affairs, which
are much in need of careful handling,
and the fact that he has already COM
pleted the important part of the work
cOntided TO him juStitieS him in return
ing to his home. In this connection 1t
may be stated that the
Scope Of This Work
was limited to the collection OF the
facts of the existing political situation
in Hawaii. 1t was not contemplated
that he should recommend annexation
or prOtectOrate, or that lie should en-
deavOr TO restore the monarchy. He
was to learn all the facts as nearly as he
could in the absence of popular vote,
which il was not in his power TO secure,
and the exact strength of the annex
alton sentiment on the islands, for the
administration placed him III the position
that it would not accord with republican
ideas that any form of government
should be forced upon majority Of the
Hawaiian people against their desires.
But he was not empowered to interfere
in the affairs of the provisional govern
ment further than was necessary to pro-
tect American interests. nor was he
charged to make any recommendations,
and TO the president and TO the secretary
of state was to be left the decision as TO
the future relations of Hawaii to the
United States, MIR. BlOunt's report
forming the basis for that decision.
