The st. Paul Globe, -oldbug, eau
tions its readers to Look cut for
the Populists. A few extracts are
quoted to get the facts as the Globe
sees them:
We suppose no inte,.isen. ard
honest man questions that very de-
cided movement has taken place TO-
ward the Populist cause in this por-
ton of thi, country since the elec-
tion last November. For this the
managers of the Republican party
are wholly to blame. They them
selves set up test that was unneces-
sary. absurd and certain to react un-
fsvorsbly upon themselves. "Pros-
perity" was the only word in their
mouths from morning until night.
They did not tell the discontented
men that We were having the expe-
rience of every county on the face of
the globe in declining prices with in
creasing age. and that industry and
frugality were the only remedies.
Not bit of it They told him that
he was suffering because the country
had q Democratic administration.
They Furthermore pledge themselves
solemDly to give the country pros
perity if they we're returned topo~er.
All this motto business about the
Advance Agent of prosperity" was
simply preparing the way for r.
publican disaster and the increase
of Populism.

Initiative and Referond um.

Direct legislation is strictly Popu-
list measure. Itsimply means that
the voters haye a right to vote on
any law if they wish before it be-
comes operative and binding; or
they can propose law, and when
voted for by the majority of the vot-
ers the legislature must enact it in
to law. Direct legislation means
self government by the people. It
means that your "fellow dog dele
gate" cannot sell you out. 1t means
that a big corporation will not be
able to make your laws by buying
your lawmakers. It means a peo-
ple's government. The masses of
the people are honest, and when
they are brought face to face with a
proposition they are going to vote
on it with the best interest of the
country uppermost in their minds.
Give us direct legislation by all
means. 1t is the only great rallying
point where all reformers can Fl I'D 9
common ground. It is q vital prin.
ciple of popular govern :ent. as
much in advance of our present
faulty system as the republic was il

FRANKFORT, KY, April 28-Sen-
ator Deboe was seen tonight and
asked concerning his position on i'm
portant political questions. he
said: II belong to the school of
Republicans Of James G.. Blaine,
William Mckinley and John Sher-
man. I am protectlonist and be-
lieve in upholding American insti-
tutions: lam in favor of the pas
sage Of the tariff bill in accordance
with the well-known principles of
the Republican party. I am for
sound money and for the principles
enunciated in the st. Louis platform,
and shall favor proper Legislation
in conformity to the principles
therein. I am in thorough accord
with the Republican administration
at Washington"
Ex-senator Blackburn spoke to
his followers at the opera house to-
night. He said that 1t was not de-
feat, but failure; and would soon be
remedied. The greatest fight ever
known was on in this country. Il
was the appeal for liberty that rang
on the streets Of Paris. It was the
peoples fght against money kings.
"In Heavens name;" he said "let
Us get together and resolve to fgh,
for the liberty. I wish We were AZ
sure of heaven as We are Of gaining
power again in Kentucky. We have
had enough Of Republicans"

company Of foot-sore men to halt,
but thousands continued their rush
to Lsrlsso. There was q blockade
at the bridge across the Salambra
river, at the entrance OF Larissa
Another terrible scene was there
presented, OF guns, men and horses
mixed up in q struggling and fear
full mass.
In the streets of Larissa there was
indescribable confusion. Troops of
all arms were mixed together, and
threw them selves down in utter ex-
haustion, needless of the calls of
trumpets aud bugles, summoning
them to fall in. The inhabitants,
rushing about the streets, inter sized
the confusion. The mere mention
OF the Turks was sufficient to create
frepzied rush.
When the moon rose and the
neighborhood Of the town could be
made out with some distinction,
matters became calmer. and at dawn
the excitement, had been reduced
to q restless movement from street
to street and an ANXIOUS discussion
of the future. Some estimate of the
number of deaths which occurred
during the stampedes and indiscrim-
mate firing say that from five to six
hundred persons were killed. But
your correspondent thinks these fig
ures are exaggerated. though the
people declare they have seen
many wagons bearing the dead to
to Lsrissa.
The five newspaper correspond
ents, who were in the stampede, all
had miraculous escapes from death.
The first hours of daylight were
spent by the Greek eff GERS in as
sembling their scattered troops and
sending them to Pharsalos. The
troops continued to march without
any refreshment, and is alleged that
many Of them had not tasted food
since Friday morning. When it be-
came known that Larissa was to be
abandoned, there was another panic
The women and even the children
went about drawing their hands
across their throats, showing what
they expected of the Turks, and in
an incredibly short time the roads
leading to Pharsalos and Volo were
crowded with reople, vehicles and
animals, the latter bearing all kinds
of household effects.

story of the fight is full of interest.
While soldiers, villagers, women and
children were marching along. all
hopelessly mixed up and the soldiers

dozen horsemen and as many ride
less horses appeared. The cry went
up, "the Turks are upon u.s." and the
stampede began. The frightened
soldiers and villagers began to fire
in every direction, and the terror of
the animals added to the confusion.
The correspondent, who narrowly
escaped being shot by an irregular,
says the mad firing kept up for half
an hour. Men, women and children
were killed, and the scene was ter
rible. The wa y was strewn with
ammunition boxes, broken carts and
furniture, the bedding of soldiers,
blankets and tin pars. The latter
