 ORACLE, RIz., July 4-Today is sbe aGlourious Fourth, and the Rne.bnndred and twenty-third ami sersory of the Declaration of 1nde. nepdence. Marvellous has been the brovtb of the United States in that ds,tury ana nearly quarter-won- dgrfnl the development and aehive- aments of tbis free people. From the orginal thirteen eolories with popnlation of 4,0O0, 900 people, we have grown to torty.four States and two Territories, with population of 70 GOO. .00O souls. And this is the greatest and most glourious Fourth in all our history. Never was there 8 time for so appreciative celebra- lion of the Fourth of July in the history of our country as the pres ent. Not only gan we celebrate the achievement of our Independence from the. Mother Country, but the triumph of our army and navy, for 'bumanity's sake, over Spanish arms on land and on sea. One year aqo yesterday fthe 3rd), ore navy @fped from the sea off the cost of Santiago, the last Yestige of the Spanish feet. a victory second only in importance to the superb and matchless victory of Admiral Dewey in the harbor of Manila on May the lst. of the same year. As a result of tbat war, liberty has been pro claimed to the Cubans and Porto Rioans, and will be to the Filipinos as soon as the latter fold thelr stan dard of revolt agalnst tue stars and stripes of the United States. In deed, thls memorable Fourth is only massed by the recollection of the continuance of the war in the Pilip. pines, and the conditions that make tbat seemingly useless slaughter oi human lie necessary.
 Somehow, there are a great many people who think that in the Philip pine matter somebody has blunder- ed, and tPat the war against the nasiye Filipinos is unwarranted and an inexcusable and useless ex- pendidure of money and an uuneces sary saerihce of human life. The war with Spaia was pct begun foi conquest, but for humanity sake" and to liberate the Cubans
 It was inaugurated on lofty and ex- alted principles, and it should no have been permitted to become ont of greed and conquest, as it ha' apparently become in the Phillip pines. There IS feeling throughou
 this country that the Filipinos ar
 waging a war as Washington wage' over century ago-for liberty
 home rule and independence. Tber
 is also feeling that in the purchas
 of the Philippine Islands from Spail
 and the subsf quent effort to subJu
 gate tbe Fllipiuos to American rule

One of the largest tomatoes ever grown in Arkansas, IS now In possession of Manager Alex Dry burgh of the Trulock, that is, il his appetite has not yielded and he has made the tempting vegetable dlsap- pear before this writing The Jumbo was sent t9 MT Dryburgh by Planter T.

Their object IS to make Ar kansas the King in producing yege- tahles and corr as well as cotton, which for the past several years have itlded very small profits. The counties of Jetfersen, Lonoke aud Pulaski, specially, will produce a vast amount of cora this year. The writer was recent visitor 10 hlttla R ,ck and while en route he noticed fields of corn which had formerly been filled with cotton as tas as the eye could Jee.
 The profits On corn during the year 1898 almost doubled that of cotton in proportion to the produc- ton, as did also that of wheat The farmers living in the bottom lands of this State, as rule, experienced : many hardships for the last few years, especially those in reach ot the treacherou3 Arkansas. They labored day and night to ralse good crop, their only support but quietly the river rose aEd before hs is aware the waters rush in upon him. He together with his like. wise uofortunate neighbors con- strn2t dams and in their work loses time and money. The rushing waters be cor quers, he looks for ward with anticipation and joyous expectations while on his way to market.
 His joyous expectations and greaz
  ;. anticipatious are soon turned to

II ont y fails you are protected by the otaer' 't The farmers have at last realized E their mistake and from the appear o ance of the. farms in this vlcinl', r, they are raising both cotton au' n. cor. and other things, too.
