Blount to Come Home.

President Cleveland has accepted
Mr.. Blount's resignation as Minis
ter to Hawaii and appointed Judge
J. L. T. Sneed Of Memphis, Tenn,
his successor. 1t is evident that Mr..
Blount is coming home, because he
found that he could accomplish
nothing under the Cleveland adj
ministration. It will be remcm-
bered that Mr.. Blount was sent
to Hawaii in the first place, not as
minister but as a special executive
commissioner, and with every rea-
son to believe that he was to inaug-
urate certain well-defined policy
when the proper time should come.
That time never came. Day after
day rolled by and the admiiistra-
ton gave him no instructions ex-
cept to play the part of peace
officer and maintain order. 1t is no
wonder that no grew weary of his
aimless position.
Why the present administration
does not decide something definite
about the Hawaiian question leads
to the theory that it is afraid of its
own shadow, aud hesitates to make
q move in any matter Of public in
terest. 1t is quite as reticent on
the subjects of tariff and silver as
the Hawaiian question. The annex
alton sentiment is increasing in the
islands, and the provisional govern
ment is becoming impatient at the
|ong-deferred action of the admins
tratiOn in tho n, after Of 1nnnYafiOr,

THE St. Louis Republic prints an
estimate of wealthy men in the
United States which shows that
$4,000 persons are the possessors of
$31 500, 100000 or about one-half
of the whole wealth Of the country.
The statement is no doubt grossly
exaggerated, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, but the facts are strong
enough and indicate the necessity
Of the substitution of another mon
etary policy for the present one if
things are not to grow worse. It
must be quite evident to the most
obtuse intellect that if $4,000 per-
sons own even half as much of the
wealth Of the country as the Repub-
lie estimates, they must continue to
grow richer and richer if the value
of their gold and credits is increased
at the expense of the producer.

The Cause OF the Howl.

We are informed by the Statesman
that the state land commissioners have
authorized loan of $4,000 to B. A. Nc.
Guire, of Latah county. What was th<
matter of the other fellow2 Was it all 8
mistake about the other INC" trying to
get in On the deal. or was it q little toe
raw for the rest of the board -payette
Independent, May 18th.
The KEYSTONE has been showing
up the favoritism and political pam
dering in the loaning of the state
school funds, and the Statesmen
has made very weak denial. Now
it seems that the very rottenest
deal of all is being enacted, and the
state school funds are to be used
in an attempt to save the wreck of
the Mcconnell MCGUIRE Mercan-
tile Company. The security of
loans obtained by political methods
or pulls are never adequate, and
the result will be forfeiture in
many cases, and, indeed, nothing
else was expected when the ap-
plications were made and gfanted.
Something must be done to place
a check on the management of this
sacred fund, or it will 60 the way
funds generally do under corrupt
political management.-KEysToNE
of May Goth.
The above item from the Inde-
pendent and comment by this pa
per is the cause of all the corrup-
tionists' organs in the state attack
ing the KEYSTONE, which they claim
has reflected on Mcclure by i'm
putting him with being a partner
of Governor Mcconnell. This is
only subterfuge to attract atten-
ton from the real facts in the mat
ter.
We don't know whether B. A.
Mcclure is a partner or not Of
Governor Mcconnell, nor do we
care. He may be she and bet
.er-half of this much abused part
ner, an uncle or an aunt, or even
an honest mans partner, or some
body else; but that cuts no figure
With the other "Mc" who did apply
or a loan of school moneys and
vho is chairman of the board who
would pass on the application.
If this man Mcconnell was the
,reat and good man his subsidized
'rgans would have us believe he is,
'e would not have to :hypothecate
piece of land to secure a paltry
Dan of 81 900 or 81 200, his indi.
idual name would be sufficient for
hat. 1t might be that the Cover
or wanted to sell this particular
iece Of land, and the school fund
'as the only sucker to be found.

you're 8 Liar /"

The strictly partisan republican
sheets have no other argument than
that of the cowardly ruffian-"you
are liar" They use it on all oc-
casions and under all circum-
stances. The latest one of these
newspaper hoodlums, who has dis
graced his profession, his party and
his friends, if he has any, is the ed
itor of a "boiler-plate," patent med
icine sheet, known only in it's own
locality, at Post Falls. This Whit
fit, for that is all he can be consid-
cred by respectable newspapers, at
tributes statement to the KEY
STONE which it never made, and
then proceeded to call the editor
of the KEYSTONE liar. This Whit
fling noodle who presides over the
Post Falls sheet, shows in a column
article that he never had seen the
item which appeared in the KEY
STONE and credited to the Payette
Independent, and that he was also
unacquainted with the subject mat
ter of the item. He simply received
orders from headquarters, as did
all the other hide-bound organs, in
the shape of a sterreotyped editorial
from the pen of a hybrid party
hunky at Boise City. Some added
to this and others changed it a lit
tie, but they all set up the howl of
liar" We don't know what this
pimp who runs the Post Falls pat
ent medicine circular pretends to
be, but it is sufficient that he is a
tool of the corrupt state admin
istration to know that be is a dis
honest damphool, and that he
don't care who knows it. It is evil
dent that he can perform the aero
batic feat of sitting on his own
brains without the least inconven-
fence, which reminds US of little
story told about the many schemes
which P. T. Barnum employed to
gull the public. On one occasion
Barnum wanted an extra large aud
fence, so he tied horse in a stall
with bis tail to the manger, and
then had flaming posters struck off
advertising as a special attraction
"a horse with his head where his
tail ought to be-"

MAYOR HARRISON Of Chicago feels
that his lines fall in pleasant places.
Before he had time to miss Eulalia
and sigh for the touch of vanished
hand, he had the extreme felicity
of kissing the San Francisco Elk
sminer's party of sixteen pretty
school girls, who are enjoying the
sights of the Worlds Fair at the ex-
pense of that generous paper. The
mayors office of Chicago has some
novel perquisites connected With it,
that would be more of an induce.
mant to most men than the salary.

Don't Press.

1t is useless to try to conceal the
fact that the country is in very Sc
rious financial distress. but it is
due entirely to an artificial cause
and it can be remedied by common
sense. The cause is the contraction
Of the currency of final account to
the gold basis. There is not gold
enough for the settlement of final
balances in the immense business
this country has been doing. This
is the trouble and the whole trouble.
In view of it, the business man who
presses another to liquidation now
is foolish indeed. There is no dan
ger in waiting-at least none at all
compared to the great danger of
pressing. If business men press
now they will create conditions they
will feel for the next ten years,
whereas if they show their common
sense by standing together and CIV
ing each other credit for common
honesty they will not lose cent on
the dollar. On the contrary, when
they foot up this time next year
they will be ahead. Forced liqui-
dation while the country is on the
gold basis means complete bank
ruptcy. That is a fact and, no
matter what your theories about the
currency sre, accept it as fact and
act on it for the next six months.
and at the end of the time you will
find that it has been m oney in your
pocket. Don't press The business
man who presses now is not saving
himself. He is his own worst en-
envy and the enemy of business.
Business is sound. The country has
been very enterprising, and now,
when under our vicious financial
system all final clearings must be
made in gold, there is not nearly
enough gold to clear with when
pressure is made for immediate set
;lement. Don't press st. Louis
Republic.

THE Provisional Government of
Hawaii now has it's headquarters in
the Palace at Honolulu. The build
ing was formally dedicated June Sd
for its new uses and the Hawaiian
national flag hoisted over it. The
occupation of the Palace by the
Provisional Government and the
raising Of the national emblem is
regarded by annexationists and
most Of the natives as final blow
to the monarchy.

ceived at Challis last Friday night
that the Blackfoot stage running
into Custer county was held up and
the mail sacks robbed Of their con
tents, Wednesday night, June 14th.
1t was bold robbery. As the dri-
yer, Charlie Thompson, was coming
into Houston with the mail, and al
a point just below the town two
or three miles, he was ordered to
Haiti by two highwaymcn, who
enforced their commands by flash
ing in sight brace of six-shooters.
The robbers then took charge of the
stage and mail and sent the driver
the opposite way on foot. After
rifling the mail sacks, by cutting
them open with knife. and taking
out the registered letters and other
valuables, the highwaymen drove
to Houston about midnight, and
after hitching the stage back of the
postoftice and throwing the empty
mail sacks in front of the Office OF
the justice of the peace, made them
selves scarce. No clue can be OBJ
tanned who the daring robbers were,
and how much money and valuables
was stolen. One letter addressed
to DR.. Chambers, of this place, was
opened by them. It contained
drafts, which they had no use for,
so they came through all O K.

one day this week. Il believe" he

more bitter fight on the silver ques-
ton than has been witnessed since
the great questions were discussed
which led up to the war" The spe-
cial session will be called for the
purpose Of repeating the Sherman
silver purchase act. President
Cleveland attributes all our fnan-
cial trouble and general hard times
to the present silver law. So far as
known he offers nothing in its place.
He will use the enormous patron
age of his Office to accomplish his
purpose. Free from pressure there
are enough silver men in congress
to do justice to the white metal !;
but it remains to be seen what
some of the southern democrats
will do when the lash is applied
and they are denied the disposition
of spoils. But there are silver men,
and many of them, whom no influ-
ence will sway; they are uncom-
promising, and fight strong from
the beginning. Mr.. Sweet thinks
