Texas Jimplecute: The present
exorbitant taxes in our State are
doing much to retard immigration.
State, county and city taxes, when
added together, take about all man
has. We are taxed about six times
on our material, with which we are
laboring for the benefit of the State,
the county and city. Without a
change, many will be forced to seek
some other place where they can at
least be abe to live.

THE WAR.
Position and Strength of the
COntending Armies.

New YORK, May IA dispatch
from St. Petersburg says the Rus
slams have taken Kars. The Rus
sian army attacking numbers $4,000
men. About 1900 Turks were
captured. Turkish iron clads are
reported guarding the Black Sea
before Odessa. Kars in Turkish
Armenia, was strongly fortified and
of immense Importance to the
Turks as a depot of supplies.
Kars resisted a long Russian seige
during the Crimean war and was
finally starved out by General Mu-
racref, who highly complimented
Williams, the English General com
handing the Turks, on his bravery.
By the third article Of the treaty of
Paris, Russia restored to Turkey
the town and citadel of Kars. If
the Russians have captured it now
as reported, all three divisions of
the Transcasian army will be
marched on Erzeroum, the capital
of Turkish Armenia.
LONDON, May IA Vienna dis
patch states that fifty Russian pom
toons, for bridging the Danube,
have already been completed at
Cherbasti, few miles up the river
Sereth, and fifty more are progress
ing. There was a heavy rain all
Saturday. 1t is also reported that
Turkey is endeavorirg to secure
British intervention in return for
the cession of a harbor in Crete, for
establishing a naval station COM
manding the Suez canal.
A Pesth dispatch says, that in or
der not to afford al occasion to Aus
tria to depart from neutrality, the
Russian commanders have received
orders not to cross the Danube
near Kalafat, nor join anywhere
with the Servian army for the anne
reason. The Gar has notified
Montenegro that she must remain
on the defensive. Servia intends
to revoke the order for mobilizing
her militia, because such a step
would be likely to provoke Austria.
The bulk of the Turkish forces
appear to be massing toward Silis-
tria and Rustchuk, and this is the
direction in which the Russians,
by their movements, would appear
to indicate a desire to pass the riV-
er. But the Turks seem still con
tent to remain passively on the de
fensive, and made no endeavors at
any counter stroke or forward move
ment which might aid them to form
an accurate judgement as to the
point at which an attack may be
made upon their position, or by
what forces they may be assaulted.
In Asia the Russian forces are
advancing in a semi circle towards
Erzeroum, while the Turkish forces
are concentrated in a triangle oil
Erzeroum, Olti and Kars. Accord
ing to information received here,
there are no less than 100000 men
conducting and supporting the
movements, so that we may be pre-
pared to hear of the first battle hav-
ing been fought south of Kars, fol-
lowed by an advance, forcing the
passes between Getshevan and Del
imusa to Midschinger and Hassan
Kaleh, where the Turks will have
20 take up a position for the de
Tense of ErzerOum; for if once the
crest of the mountains, border
ing Erzeroum on the east, is won by
the Russian troops, the town Is lost

Lonoke Ark } Dem: We do not
advise all corn and no cotton, but
we think the old system of things
ought to be reversed. Plant two
thirds ar three-fourths Of your
lands in wheat, corn, etc, and the
balance in cotton. In the end full
ly as many dollars will be realized
out of the cotton crop, as if twice
the number of acres were planted in

What Gushing Says About the
European Struggle.

With reference to the Turco Rus
sian war he thinks it threatens to
be great war, and if England gets
into it then will come our opportu
nifty to recuperate our commerce.
We will have to pass some law or
provide some way by which we can
gather in the English Commercial
Marine under our flag. 1t is des-
tined to be Americas chance, and
we must avail ourselves of it. Rus
STA and Turkey were never better
prepared.
A long struggle, so far as men,
arms and provisions, are concerned.
Turkey has an excellent navy, far
superior to that of Russia, and will
give our ships some trouble getting
into Russian ports if they catch
them. He says he came home by
way of France. There was much
excitement on the continent. There
is, however, no necessity for the
large advance of 4 dollars a bar
rel on -four, for that is speculative.
Kellogg has a large, if not prof.
table contract on hand. The more
he pushes his contest for Judge
Spetord' seat in the Senate, the
more painfully apparent this will be
to him. kellogg should profit by
the fate of Pinchback, the-sublimest
spectacle of pity in all history.
Senator Spofford will get that seat,
and hold tito. Then Kellogg may
wiring his hands and seek consola
ton in Packard's bosom.-KnozVilie

also, and there may be another
