TURKEYS LUCK.
AmicabIe Settlement Of Question by
Great Powers is Probable.
Hence Division Of Turkey Is Now Unlikely al
Present Time.

Berlin, Oct. 4.-There is a growing
disposition here to regard the solution
Of the Turkish question as being on the
eve of completion by an amicable
agreement among the great powers,
and it is taken for granted that all
likelihood of a partition of Turkey in
the near future has vanished.
The semi official press makes much
of the supposed influence that Baron
Saurma Won Jeltsch. German ambassa-
dor to Turkey, exercises over the Sui
tan, which the papers ascribe to the
Turkish monarch's conviction that the
representative at Constantinople is not
actuated by a selfish aim.
The papers connect with this pre-
sumed feeling on the part of the Sui
tan, the reported departure from Con-
stantinople for Berlin, of General
Grumbkoff, a German officer in the
Ottoman service, as the bearer of
an autograph letter from the Sultan to
the Kaiser. 1t is stated the commune
cation expressed the Sultan's gratitude
at the attitude assumed by Germany
in the Turkish crisis, and ascribes the
troubles in Turkey to revolutionary
agitators The Sultan. according to
report. assures the Kaiser that tie
Christians in Turkey will be absolute
ly safeguarded unless they indulge in
anarchiStic excuses.
The AL Deutsche Batter prints an
amazing story of a scheme for the
division of Turkey, claiming the whole
of Asiatic Turkey for Germany and
adding that Germany may possibly
allow the Sultan to remain ruler under
a German protectorate, assuming di-
rection and administration only Of
affairs in the Tigris and Euphratcs
valleys.

THE PEOPLES BUSINESS.

When men have been q long time in
public life, they are apt to forget who
put them there and for what purpose.
They become accustomed to appropri-
ating public moneys by the thousand
and by the million dollars, and it is so
easy to do that the work becomes COM
monplsce and they turn up their noses
when the people complain about ex'
traVsgsnce OF want an explanation.
During the extra session of Congress
in 1893, when national banks began to
refuse payment of checks drawn on
deposits Id their vaults, and when in.
terest rates were suddenly raised on
short loans and currency rose to a pre-
MUM and sharp traders were resping
rich harvest off the necessities Of bust
ness men, resolution was offered
directing the Secretary Of the Treasury
TO inform the Senate whether the banks
were being conducted in violation of
law, whether and why they were refus-
ing to pay deposits and whether they
were demanding and receiving rates Of
interest higher than the law allows for
discountlng bills and notes.
The resolution was denounced by
Senator'S Hosr, Sherman and others as
an unjustifable intermeddling with
matters that were none of the Senators
business. They held that in exciting
times, such as then existed, banks
ought not to be held to strict follow
ing Of the law.
When the proposition for the first
issue Of bonds was published In Feb
rusry, 1894, Senator denounced the
proceeding as illegal and offered q res
olutiOn giving it as the sense of the
Senate that the proposed bond sale had
no warrant in law, the resolution was
unCeremoniously laid aside as un-
worthy Of notice.
And when the late resolution to in.
Vestigate the bond sales was brought
before the Senate 1t was opposed by
bitter attacks on the ground that such
a proceeding was beneath the dignity
Of the Senate, that the President and
Secretary were bound in honor to
maintain the public credit, no matter
how they did it.
These men do not comprehend that
1t Is the peoples money they are ex-
pending and that 1t Is the peoples
credit they are selling. They are will
ing to openly violate the plain letter Of
the law In order to accommodate the
speculstOrs Of New York cityand Lon
don, but they have no patience with
men who insist that the people have
some rights In the premises.
1t Is to be hoped that before the
pending revolution has completed its
course, every man In public life and
all who aspire to such position will
assume at the outset and will remem-
Der that every public act Of public
man Is the peoples business, and that
ne is charged with grave responsible
ties on their account.
1t will be q bad day for popular gov
ernment when men who are selected to
administer It's affairs assume that they
