The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-01-07

IN ANOTHER column will be found a
report of meeting to further total
abstinence principles in Rugby. Thefirs
step towards that object is, necessarily,
an organization, the special end of
whichshallbe the incubation, with every
opportunity, Of correct and sound
information upon the many phases of
the temperance question. A Rugby
Total Abstinence Society has been
accordingly formed with this great
educational subject as it's work. That
it is entirely educational is universally
admitted, not a passing expediency.
Too patent indeed is it that the indi-
vidual use of intoxicants, and the
common sale, continually cross in a
multitude of ways the fair path
of our progressive life. Who shall
be so bold as to deny that this
use, and sale, Of liquors is the chief
hndrance to our social, religious and
political we'll being, and that the
number of individual wrecks caused by
the use of spurious liquors is not
simply appalling Can any one in Rugby
countupon his fingers, and several times
over too, the number cf fair starts he
has seen in life, bufetted, stranded, or
totally wrecked by the use Of, and
ccmpanionship with, the too agreeable,
but deceptive cup9
That the "drink question" is then a
fit one to be firmly dealt with, none
but the most socially and politically
obscured eyesight will deny. Bad
enough is the temporary business stag
nation in Rugby, but we are quite
exempt, thanks to wise law, from the
from the saloon business with it's bale
ful non-industrial influences, to say
nothing Of the brawls too often ending
in every bitter principle, and even
bloody encounter. Witness the numer-
GUS saloons, with their frightfulquarrels,
in the small places now growing up
along theline of the Cincinnati Southern
Railway. The trading in liquors can
not be made respectable, not even by
restriction, unless it be total. However
we do not believe in the entire suppress
sion of the traffic without the full
assent Of the locality concerned, because
no good to people, or a State, can
follow, where the liberties are stated
and defined by few men of irresponsi
BILE authority. The Rugbeians, We
believe, are fully satisfied with the
absence of saloons, and all along have
have tacitly assented to the total re-
striction. ..
As we have said above the Temper
ance question is an educational one
individually, and collectively, socially
and politically, and being so we mos
heartily render to the Temperance
organization just started in our midst
all the support within our reach.

SEEING THE POINT.

1t appears that the significance of the
expulsion of Bradlaugh is just beginning
to dawn upon the minds of the members
who voted for that shameful outrage.
They are coming to realize that what they
did on that occasion WAS a scandalous
thing that they committed an assault
upon this rights of Mr.. Bradlaugh's con.
stituency which they were wholly without
authority to do /; and that, in short, they
had psrpetrated a wrong against all law
and precedent. merely because they were
many and the victim ore. It is also be.
ginning to be remarked as somewhat dis.
crcditable that Mr.. Gladstone should have
stood by and consented to this highhan2ed
proceeding, when he must have known
that it was in violation of all constitu-
tional usage Nor does the reminder that
Mr. Gladstone has been subjected to great
pressure from the bigot element tend to
excuse him in the least. Ia such case
he had nothing but the constitutional
aspect of the situation to look to, and it
was plainly his duty. as the head of the
Government, to defend Bsadlaugh when
he was unlawfully assaulted. All these
considerations will of course help Brad
laugh nightly in his canvass, for Eng-
lishmen have rooted veneration for fair
play, and man who has been foully dealt
with is certain of their sympathy.

Els SUDDEN FAME.

General Skobelof has found himself sud.
denly famous, and among the penalties
which attach to celebrity he viii now have
to make his account with enduring the
festive fabrications of the ingenious CORE
spondeut. Indeed he has already been
awaited of By this gifted being, who has
gravely informed curious world that the
gallant Russian recently visited London in
disguise, to confer with the Parnellises-
doubtless with view to the blowing up Of
Queen Victoria's royal residence, the Tower
of Londo9. And this is nOs the only neg
honor sho:vered upon poor SkebelOf. he is
accused of having made his recent speech
in the interest of the bankers, in order to
depresiate the value Of the rouble. This
charge is really aImos. worthy of some CT
our own most brilliant and eccentric tiat
money lunatics. Skobelof, however, need
not care. All that causes him to be talked
about viii help his ambition, and the Par
nell yarn and the rouble yarn will do as
wei as. any.other inventions to keep his
name afoat.

gHg TaIAL oF zee NIs1EIsgs.

The trial Of the Nihiliats appears to be
carried on in free. and.easy way, the Gov
eminent doing just as it pleases, and the
prisoners being denied all meansof making
a proper and effective defense. In such
cases the foregone conclusion is of course
the conviction of the accused, but in the
present instance it seems that even the
caliousness OF the Government prosecutors
and judges has been for the moment shaken
by some OF the accounts given by the
prisoners of the circumstances which in
duced them to join the party Of terrorism.
They laid bare the hideous multitude of
petty despotisms which underlie Russian
autocracy, and they showed how desperate
is the state of any man who thinks to raise
himself above the lower ranks without
possessing any other means than superior
intelligence. Some day the historian will
have need for these statements, as tending
to illuminate and explain the beginnings OF
that great CONFUSION in Russia whose
earliest symptoms are even now appearing.

DIET FOR HIGHT WORKERS.

For night workers the best dietic plan
includes hearty breakfast when they rise,
which is generally from u to 3 o'clock,
some outdoor exercise and relaxation
should proceed a good dinner, partaken of
between and o'clock at night, before
beginning work. If the work is to con-
tinue until or in the morning, light
but nutritious repast should be eaten
shortly after midnight, in order to fortify
the system for labor during the hours i'm
mediately following, when the vital powers
are most enfeebled. When the work is
done, and before retiring, very simple
lunch should be taken in the form OF cup
of good hot broth or beef tea, or glass
of light wine and couple of crackers.
This will generally insure sleep by with.
drawing the blood from the brain, where
it has been concentrated by mental effort.
In ordinary cases of sleepnessness, not con-
firmed by long continued habit, light
meal of this kind viii generally prove a
remedy The substitution of phosphate
or so.called brain and nerve foods for a
weli-chosen regular diet is much to be re.
probated however excellent these prep.
arations may be as adjuncts, a man might
as we'll expect to work indefinitely upon
the stimulation of alcohol as to live upon
them without the necessary supplement Of
ordinary nutritious diet. By attention tt
these details, and by securing sufficient
sleep, night-workers can preserve theiI
health under ordinary circumstances.

CONTRADICTORY RRPoR rs.

The reporters who spend half their time
contradicting the reports which they send
from Washington during the other half, do
not appear to have perceived at any time
that their continual changes of statement
are calculated to diminish the public conf.
dence in them as faithful historians. A
few days ago these reporters stated that
President Arthur had made up his mind TO
reopen the Porter case, and to reappoint
Porter to a command. This was stated
categorically. and without the slightest
reservation, and yet now these extremely
unreliable persons turn round and say that
President Arthur has never expressed him
self upon the matter at all, but that he is
more likely TO take ground against than for
Fitz Johu Porter. The most libellous
statement made in this connection is the in
situation that Grants lately-reported con-
version to belief thai Porter was wronged,
was merely cunning piece of strategy
adopted TO secure the votes of certain of Por.
ter's friends In the Senate for the bill retir.
ing him Grant. Ii this was true it would
make it necessary to regard Grant as capa.
bic of one of the basess and most contempt
ible of actions, and therefore such dam
aging story should not have been put for
ward without support. As to what is sale
of Logan's attitude towards Porter, there
need be no doubt about it, for Logan is
very nsrrow-minded and spitefnl man, anC
quite incapable of yielding even to th'
most clear and convincing evidence whel
once his mind has been made up the othe
way. He, ne doubt. will oppose Porter
restoration to the end.

condemn the Land Act because they say j.
is plain that the Irish agitators are deter
mined TO reject every accommodation
offered by England, and to stand out for
conditions which no English Government
can possibly entertain. The opposition of
the peers to the bill is therefore not cal
culated to bring that body into public
diarapute, as It did before the new
law had. been tried. Public opinion
on the Land Act is divided, and
perhaps it is doubtful whether the majority
do not disbelieve in its efficacy. If, how
ever, Mr.. Gladstone should threaten to
resign as the answer to this opposition in
the Lords, it is possible that he would be
given the opportunity to prove his SINGER
ity. For the Lords are very earnest on
this question, because they perceive that
the subject of English land legislation is
Involved, and rather than have this for
midable issue opened up, they might be
willing to stand the risk of worse gov.
eminent than Mr.. Gladstone's. And it
must be admitted that the success OF that
statesman has not been at all common
surate with his boastings. His foreign
policy has been little short of fatuous.
He has thrown away advantages which his
predecessor had obtained he has alienated
his country from the most powerful Gov
errments of the continent he has blum
dered terribly on the Egyptian question
he has allowed Bismarck to out-maneuver
him at almost every point; he has in fact
diminished the prestige of England in
Europe. His Russian policy has been
obstinately foolish. He has given st.
Petersburg everything it asked, and
has actually paved the way for
further Russian aggression in Central
Asia. Against this unfortunate foreign
policy must be set the home policy, and
this has been productive Of very little satis.
faction to anyone. In fact, although the
Liberals abused the Conservatives in the
most unsparing manner when they them.
selves were "outs,." it does not appear
that they have succeeded much, if at all,
better in administering the Government,
And though there is no Conservative
statesman OF special ability to take the lead
now, it may be doubted whether ever
mediocre talent would not produce as good
results as Mr.. Gladstone'a splendid endow,
ments have brought forth. And for this
among other reasons it is possible that hi.
resignation would not be considered al
| irreparable calamity.

The House CT Lords has undertaken TO

greatly exercised. Whether or not it
would be good thing to upset the Land
Act is a question which admits of much
controversy. There are many who believe
shat measure to be neither more nor less
than somewhat clumsy device for
placating Irish discomfort at the expense of
the landlords, and who consequently take
the ground that bill which involves the
confscation of private property can by no
