One of the strangest developments of the campaign appears in the assertion, made on the authority of the President, that there are good Republicans in all parts of the country going around with money and checks in their hands and trying, without success, to find eome- body who will receive their contributions. The masterful Sheldon, it seems, has made euch a minute search of Wall street and its en- wirons that he has overlooked the more distant fields that are ripe for the harvest. If this does not make Simon Cameron, Matt }#Quay and Mark Hanna turn in their graves, what would? Nothing is said as to the action of the President in the matter, \ we may be eure that the practical man who on a memorable oc- feasion sent for Harriman and arranged for the absorption of $260,000 ioe was vainly seeking a campaign collector in New York will 1 prove equal to this occasion. His intuition in such matters is un- ferring. Knowing where the money grows, he also knows the man to [end after it. Let the patriotic plutocrats have patience, then }Phere will be doughbags on wheels and doughbags on skids and eee with winge in their vicinity shortly. As for Mr. Sheldon, he may never be treasurer again, but he wil! py much valuable information on the subject of political finance y watching the President perform. et THE TURK’S DEAR FRIENDS. j There is a diplomatic pretense in Europe that the Eastern ques- lon is a troublesome one, but in point of fact most of the foreign ices would not know how to get on without it. The Eastern ques- ! tion persists world without end because great etatesmen never have fhad a mind to settle it. Theoretically the Turk has no friend in Europe; he is an interloper; he rules and oppresses Christians from the throne of a Christian emperor; he is hated within his own do- minions and he is feared beyond them. But in spite of these things ‘he always has powerful support at one or more of the Christian capitals, and so Turkey in Europe, diminishing in area and in power, , Yemains a perpetual menace to the peace of the continent. The Ottoman power once extended to the walls of Vienna Except for the tribute exacted from the Danubian provinces, it is now confined to the comparatively small strip lying south of the, Balkans. If it were not for the contemptible jealousies of the great powers there would have been a complete Slavic and Hellenic libera- tion long ago, and one powerful excuse for great armaments would thus have been removed. es ee ONE OF THE LIVE ISSUES.

HIS {s a love story with a strange ending. Many of its facts are T shrouded in mystery and will never be known. A hundred guesses have been made in explanation of its hidden incidents. But the full truth remains forever buried in the graves of the man and woman who enacted the unusual little drama. Sam Houston, pioneer and son of a pioneer, haa been intended for a storekeeper. He had a soul for adventure and loathed mercantile life. So | as a boy he ran away to the Indians, was adopted by them, and learned from the tribesmen all the wondrous art of the wilderness. When the war ot 1812 broke out Houston was not yet twenty. Yet he fought with a reck- less courage that won him many wounds, not a little glory, and the life long affection of Andrew Jackson, under whom he served he war over, he studied law and rose rapidly in political rank, from District-Attorney to Congressman and, within nine years, to the Governorship of ‘Tennessee. A splendid future seemed to stretch before him. He was the idol of the Southwest. He was the friend of President Jackson-—who never forgot @ friend. He was young, handsome, brilliant. The Presidency itself seemed almost within his reach. | A Man of The world was at his feet ready to do his bidding. Destiny. Not a public character in America had brighter Derreenes prospects than Sam Houston. He was spoken of as a Man of Destiny. Then came the love affair that changed his whole life. While he was Governor of ‘Tennessee, Houston met Miss Eli beautiful daughter of a rich Nashville 1 Miss Allen w queen and was the acknowledged belle of all that part of " ton, simple, direct, honesi, was quite c: by charm and became her devoted adorer. She sh and better versed in the ways of the world than was this sturdy young statesman-soldier who governed the State. Yet, to the sur} of more than one of her friends, she listened to Houston's ardent wooing and soon be- came engaged to him Whether Miss Allen really loved Houston, or merely saw how splendid a future seemed to lie before him, is not known, At a rate, she married him, amid such imposing ceremonies as the little frontier city could muster. th so lovely and ambitious a wife, people predicted that Houston's star would rise to unequalled heights. aiety ruled supreme in the Governor's house and the young executive was apparently the happiest man in Tene nessee. ; Then something happened wedding the whole State wa ee Allen, the ul society Hous- So one knows what. But shortly after the sedndalized to learn that e and groon had separated. Not as the result of a petty lover's quarrel that could be readily patched up—but that they had parted forever. Neither Houston nor his wife would tell what had caused the sudden break in t supposedly happy relationship. But while the bride returned to her father's house, Houston resigned his Governorship. gave up his hard won honors and golden ospects, and left Tennessee. His friends argued, pleaded d stormed in vain. He was set on throwing away his future and would not tell even his most intimate friends why he did so. The secret of Houston's separation from his wife remained a mystery, and remains so to this d That the cause was terribly rious may be judged by the fact that he not only ndoned his , but turned his back on civilization as well. Journeying to Arkansas, he joined the Cherokee Indians, donning paint and blanket, ving among the savages for years as a member of their tribe and refusing to go back to his own people or to regard himself as anything but an Indian Yet to Houston's parting from his wife the Untted States owes the an- nexing of Texas. For in time Houston left the Indians and plunged into the warfare the American settlers were waging to wrest Texas from Mexico. He freed Texas and made a republic, being chosen as its first President. Then he arranged annexation the new republic to the United States, Becomes An ~~ bs “Indian.” ani was elected Governor of the State of Texas. Meantime he had married again, and his second wedded is said to have been very happy. He fought bitterly against the secession of his State when the Civil War began; and, for his flerce loyalty to the Union, was deposed from the Goy- ernorship. When the secession of Texas was announced, and his own son entered sissippi Valley is deemed important enough to justify both Presiden-| tial candidates at the height of their campaign in hurrying to Chicago to meet its leaders and to assure them of their sympathy and sup-| port. There are districts in the West where it is a good deal easier | to get up a demonstration in favor of “fourteen feet through the valley” than it ia to arrange for Democratic or Republican meetings.
