RUGBY, TENN, SATURDAY JULY 20, 1882

If war is to be brought to speedy
and successful close, and the horrors
of warfare controlled, and limited,
as far as the nature of such Strug-
giles will allow of, it is barbarous in
a great civilized power not to use
the utmost expedition to prevent
the spreading of bloodshed and dis
order. 1t is more merciful to be
severe at first, and that a compara-
tive few should suffer and small
portion of country be oyerrun, than
to let the disorder spread till a
whole nation must be laid waste.
and the frst-born of every family
taken. We believe, had England
landed sufficient troops Immediately
following the bombardment, by this
time the real danger of the wal
would have been checked, and witt
the criminally inactive negligence o.
the Porte, the interests Of England
would have justified her interference
ashore to the extent of her inter.
ference from the sea.

REMUNERATION

In a recent reply to a newspaper
interviewer on the question of over
immigration, Mr.. Proctor, Kentucky
state Geologist, replied
"Do you know that, if every man,
woman and child now in the United
States were placed in the State of
Texas, the population of that State
would be about as dense as the
population of France, and not so
dense as the population of Mas
sachusetts is now Add all the
peoples of Europe to the present
population of the United States, and
there will not then be so many per-
sons per square mile in this country
as are persons now to the square
mile in France, Belgium and the
Netherlands-the three countries in
Europe where there is more univer-
sal prosperity among the masses
and from whence there is scarcely
any emigration. [ believe there is
nothing more conducive to happiness
than a dense agricultural population,
where the people are the owners Of
the lands. In the countries above
named the feudal laws have given
place to land tenure similar to our
own, and but for the high taxes in
cident to wars and standing armies
the peaSantry of those countries
would be in very prosperous con
dition. 10 allay the fears of the
timid ones, who are scared at the
thought of dense population, please

is no fear of the colony's ultimate
failure, if those who have care of
its lands now, will adopt a few of
the several ways open to them of
getting rid of their lots to the right
men. A waiting, inactive policy
will not do, this side of a generation,
but narrow gauge railway, a man
factory, an extraordinarily liberal
treatment of the first new comers,
and an agent, or judicious ADVERTISE
ment of the Boards lands in the
centers of overcrowded, or less ad-
vantageous farming districts, would
so operate as to bring to the pockets
of the shareholders of the Board,
that which is now, we are afraid,
the thing that will be kept the
longest out of them.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-07-29

The future of Rugby will not be
assured until the lands around it
are cleared and cultivated. There
is no fault to be found with the soil,
for it is adapted to most farming
operations, and all garden purposes,
bnt there has been a singular alb
sence of agricultural colonists, and
the Board of Aid has been most
unfortunate, in the past, in not
securing suitable persons for the
pioneer work it is so necessary
should be placed in the hands Of
men of grit and staying powers.
The feeble colony started with an
amazing amount of steam and
laudation, and promiscuous circu-
lation of promisSory notes, with a
poisonous support, although well
intentioned, from the newspaper
press of the country. BY some un-
toward misfortune those who would
have made the true builders up of a
colony in new land, stayed at
home, or went elsewhere, while a
host of will ,Wimbles y and hang
ers on to an industrious society
flooded the place, and never having
been trained to work, and having nc
inclination to "labor and to wait,
gave the colony such set back that
it can only recover by the insertion
of new and vigorous blood.
Let the Board now make it then

tural mind in England, and in this

ENGLAND is busy in all her military
workshops, and her camps and
arsenals are moving hives of warlike
industry. She has brought her hand
down upon the disorder threatening
her interests and vitality in the
East, and will not remove it until
order has been restored. She is
able to do the work she has taken
in hand, and she will do it, but she

The business outlook for the re-

encouraging all over the country.
1t has hardly ever been better in
East Tennessee. The prospect of
good crops, the growth of manu-

of new railroad connections and the
development of new mining interests,
are the foundations of this cheerful
hope for the future. Prices for farm
