Bucharest, Roumania, March 81
Four thousand peasants from the dis
tricts of Teleorman and Vlashica have
joined forces and are now marching
on Bucharest. A minor state of siege
has been proclaimed here and the mill
itary authorities have taken measures
to prevent the revolted peasants from
invading the city. Should the peasants
refuse to retire orders have been is
sued to the troops to use shrapnel
against them.
Soldiers and large bodies of police
have been stationed in the Jewish
quarters of Bucharest for the protec-
ton of the inhabitants.
Severe encounters, accompanied by
much bloodshed, are reported from va
rious places. The plundering usually
appears to start at the synagogues,
winding up with attacks on Christian
property.
The district of Vlashica is overrun
by marauders who have cut the tele-
graph and telephone wires. A band of
1000 peasants made a furious attack
with hatchets and cudgels on de-
tachment of cavalry in that district.
The troops only dispersed the rioters
after killing or wounding many of
them.
Fifteen rioters have been shot in the
town of Alexandria, Wallachia, about
SO miles from Bucharest, which place
has been declared under martial law.
At Galatz, Moldavia, a mob of peas
ants invaded the town, demanding the
land and wrecking houses. They were
fixed upon by troops, who killed Is Of

A panic prevails at Giurgevo, oppo
site Rustchuk, 40 miles from Buchar
| est, from whence urgent demands fol
requirements of troops have reached
the city.

A Bluff.

plant unless the government buys
more armor plate of it! Wonder if it
hopes to scare anybody by such man

scared he ought to be impeached. It's
bluff pure and simple. The trouble
with the trust is that it had been
charging two or three prices for plate

DELIGHTFUL Florida.

From Dover, N. j., to St. Petersburg,
in southern Florida, is long distance
jump even in the lecture business, but
I made it lately and shall never regret
it-snow, ice and heavy overcoats in
Dover; peach blossoms, orange bios
SONS, roses. fresh vegetables, linen
suits, straw hats and fans in southern
Florida. Florida is not only land of
flowers, but it is a land of wonders and
of wonderful possibilities. Ponce de
Leon never realized his gorgeous and
fascinating dream Of discovering the
tabled fountain of perpetual youth, but
Americans are finding there health,
happiness, comfort and wealth. Flori-
da now has a population of something
over 100000 souls. The great puzzle
to one who has seen it and heard the
unimpeachable story of it's marvellous
fertility is why it hasn't population
Of 100000.
When lectured at St. Petersburg
we were the guests of Hon. Joseph G.
Sibley, ex-congressman from Pennsyl-
vania, and his most estimable wife,
and when 1 lectured at Gainesville we
werethe guests of Representative Frank
Clark and his estimable wife. The
recollection of the generous hospitality
Of these two families will rest upon US
like benediction all our lives.
Sibley has purchased large tracts Of
land near st. Petersburg and Is an en-
thusiast as to Florida's future. He
has orange and grape fruit groves, some
IN full bearing and some just planted.
He is establishing sort Of agricultural.
experiment station on his own hook to
test the productiveness~ of the soil, es-
pecially In forage plants. 1t is his
theory that even those parts of Florida
which are called pine barrens can be
made to produce immense crops. He,
says that about st. Petersburg as much
as thousand dollars per acre has
been realized on strawberries.
AT Gainesville an intelligent school
ma'am told me that one man had made
$1,000 net from three acres OF let

another man had done better even than
that.

"a whole lump. Yea, verify.
"A When Jefrerson's Declaration
N of Independence was read at
Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, it was a
little leaven of liberty placed in the
human heart which has been working
its wondrous works from that day to
this and which will continue to work
until there is no sort Of government
save representative government in any
civilized country. OF course the Rus
sian douma is having tough time
getting itself started, but so had the
English parliament, the French assem-
bly, and the rest. The douma, however,
will find its way to stand. Cossacks
may dissolve it and ride it down few
! times, but that douma will be there
finally doing the peoples work, and
| the bloody Cossacks will be eating
tamcly out of its hand. The latest
suggestion as to extending the repre-
sentative form Of government in Eu-
rope is for a Balkan federation to be
formed at first Of Roumania, Bulgaria
and Servia, with Prince Charles. son
of King Charles of Roumania, at its
head The hope is that later on Mace
donia and Albania would enter the con-
federacy, which would then possess
population and resources enough to
take an important position in Euro
pean affairs All good people every
where will wish them success, even if
they retain the monarchical form Of
government-that is, fixed head with
an elective parliament or congress-for
the Roumania princes have demon
strated fine qualities and great capac-
ity. The curse of the Balkan people is
the jealousies of small and jangling
states.

Eoraker,s Photos.

Many men of many minds. Many
ways of conducting campaign. 1t is
said that as an aid to his presidential
boom Senator Joseph Burton Foraker
of Ohio has already invested $4,000 in
photographs of himself. A Mr.. Budd
of California once elected himself to
congress by travelling in blackboard
and by painting in huge red letters on
every rock and mountain side this leg
end: "Vote For Budd." And the people
liked his novel method so well that he
was sent to Washington, where he did
so well that he was soon elected gov
ernor of his state. Perhaps the photos
will turn the trick for Foraker.

The Hoosier Situation.
That Mr. Vice President Charles
Warren Fairbanks Of Indiana is one
of the most prominent candidates for
the Republican presidential nomination
Is known of all men. 1t has been TAX
en- for granted all along that Repub-
lican Hoosierdom was not only solidly
but enthusiastically for him. 1t was
also rumored that he was rounding up
the southern delegates much in the
manner in which Marcus A. Hanna
rounded them up for Mckinley in 1896.
So everything seemed lovely for the
vice president, and the goose honlsed
high. Now, however, comes the news
that certain Indiana statesmen are in
league to beat him out Of the Indiana
delegation or, failing that, to set up a
delegation which, though instructed for
him, will desert him at the first oppor-
tunity, thereby repeating the perfidy
of the Ohio delegates which in 1886
and again in 1883 defeated John Sher
mans presidential aspirations. The
knitting of Sherman to death in the
house of his friends is still fresh In the
minds of all we'll Informed folks.

Initiative and Referendum.
Slowly, but surely, the ideas of
Thomas Jefferson are being crystallized
into law. He was the greatest philoso-
pher that ever devoted life to poll
tics. In many things-slavery and it's
abolition, for instance-he was decades
| ahead of his time, in others centuries
ahead. The latest case of legislature
placing one of his century neglected
,, ideas upon the statute books is the
law just passed by the Missouri legis-
lature providing for the initiative and
referendum. This scheme makes ev-
cry voter a legislator, and hereafter
in the imperial commonwealth of Mis-
, souri, the voters themselves will pass
upon every important statute by using
the referendum machinery and can H.
augurate new legislation by using the
Initiative machinery. 1t has been tried
J, elsewhere and worked well. The COM
bined initiative and referendum will do
, more to eliminate the boss, wire puller
and lobbyist than all other causes COM
bined and will also cause the average
voter to take more interest in legisla-
ton than he has hitherto taken, all Of
/ which is greatly to be desired. Grad
ually the people are working out the
vast and difficult scheme of self gov
eminent and solving the new and in
, tricate problems which confront them.
