WITH the.exception of the few who
expect to hold office under it, we
have yet to find a man who favors the
passage of what is known as MCCoN-
NELL's Irrigation Bill. All concede
that it is unjust in its provisions and
imposes heavy tax on the farmer
without giving him anything like an
adequate return therefor. A number
Of remonstrances against the passage
of this bill have already been sent to
the delegation, and we advise the
farming community to continue in the
good work. To pass the bill as it now
reads will be to create an onerous law
from which only those who enforce Its
provisions will reap benefit. We
need legislation on irrigation, but it
is legislation that will benefit the cul-
tivators of the soil, not oppress them.

OSCEOLA ARKANSAS SATURDAY, AUGUST

1t is quite possible that the constant rumors
of Turkish adeancrs and Se.vian retreats
are exaggerated, but it can not be denied
that the prospects of the Servians is becom-
ing gloomy. The rumor of their evacuatinn
the dehles leading from uuigugovatz to
Deiegradc, ahd IRON Ssitschar to Parakin,
though uncS6rmed, is highly probable. If
the Turks push forward, ii is more than
likely the expected great battle at Alexntz
1 or Delegrade, will never be fought. The
o@cials continue to assure the public Of
their ability to beat the Turks, nevertheless
CONSERVATION prevails, and must increase as
| the number of runaways increases in the
| streets.
A dispatch from Belgrade says that
while war preparations continue actively,
and while even the peace party consider any
fate preferable TO the deposition of prince
Milan and the annexation of any part of Ser
via to Turkey, or even for period of Turk
ish rule, there are at the same time de-
preston of spirits and desire for peace
among the moderate party and the Scrvian
people, and the intervention OF the powers
is anxiously looked for, in the hope that it
would bring peace without any of the above
conditions, which, it is feared, the Turks de-
sire to impose. Rather than accept any one
of these, the moderate party will support
the government in continuing the struggle
until Servia conquers or can not fight longer.
They say the deposition of prince Milan
would occasion a dynastic civil war, which
would retard the progress CT the country
twenty years. AS for Turkish rule here, the
foremost men of servia, and even the OPP
ponents of the war, say it is better that all
the Servians perish in the struggle than sub
nit to it that it is evident that il the in
tervention of the powers does not bring
peace, that no arrangement between the bel
ligerents themselves is likely to.
