RishWortn Rich.

Colonel Rishworth Rich, veteran Of the
late war, died at his home in Old Orchard
Sunday. His disease was progressive par
alysls, from the effects of which he had been
suffering for more than 20 years, although
not incapacltated for business until about
four years ago, when he removed from Bos-
ton to Old Orchard. Colonel Rich was born
in Portland. September q. 1885, and was in
his 56th year when he died. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools OF Portland, and
was chosen common councilman for Ward
In 1861. His first experience In military life
was as member Of Company c., Portland
Light Infantry, Of which company he was
commissioned captain by Governor Let NJ.
Morrill, in January 1860. In June. 1861. he
was called to Augusta and employed to drill
troops for the various regiments then form
Ing; he was commissioned colonel Of the 9th
Maine Regiment In September of that year,
with which regiment he went TO the field,
leaving Portland September 81, 1861. The
regiment went directly to Washington, and
from thence by transport to Hilton Head and
Fernandina, where Colonel Rich was placed
in command, having control OF the adjacent
country. The regiment remained on duty In
that vicinity until January, 1868, at which
date Colonel Rich rendered his resignation
on account Of malarial disability. and was
honorably discharged. After leaving the
service Colonel Rich engaged in the lumber
business in South Carolina; subsequently he
was in business in Baltimore and Boston un.
til his i'll health compelled his retirement.
As a soldier Colonel Rich was a thorough
dlsclpllnarian. and although extremely re-
served In his manner, he won the sincere re-
spect of his soldiers. During his long and
distressing illness he uttered no complaint,
waiting patiently until the fell disease,
which medical skill could not master, had
done its devastating work. All that the
thoughtful care Of devoted wife could sug-
gest was done to render his lot less weari
some and painful. He leaves a widow and
two sons, with sisters and relatives more re-
mote. Funeral services will take place at
hfs late residence Wednesday at D. m, and
a train will leave Portland for Old Orchard
at 1015, and the remains will be taken to
Portland for intarrmant

great difference in the local legislation of
the states in relation to these subjects, but
there seems to be no longer any reason why

rREAcLE ZOE TIE PEOPLE.

Nothing can surpass the profound
respect which the anti-administration
organs now profess for the sovereign
people, save and except the profounder
contempt in which they held them
last fall after they had declared their
choice for governor. When the peo-
Pile said they would have jim Hogg
and no other for governor they were
playfully and fippantly alluded to as
anarchists communists and the
riff-raff of creation. Now when war
is declared against the governor these
same anarchists and communists that
elected him are told that they are the
salt of the earth, Solomons all, and
that it was q cruel shame to rob
them of the privilege and the right
of electing three railway commits
sioners. Six months ago they did
not know enough to elect q decent
governor. Now they are each and
all bubbling fountains OF wisdom,
sagacity and patriotism. If the peo-
pie believe what the organs alluded
10 said Of them six or eight months
ago, they will swallow the sickening
treacle that is now being ladled out
10 them, but not otherwise.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS PEOPLE.

During the discussion of the Brown
ing bill to appropriate money for a
Texas exhibit at the Worlds fair, the
state press that assumes sort of pro-
tectorate over the farmers interests
was bitter in opposition to the bill, and
not to the bill alone, but to the setting
aside OF any public money for that pur-
pose. The GAZETTE does not believe
that these papers voiced the sense Of
the intelligent and progressive farm
ers of Texas in their utterances on this
occasion.
There is no reason for the farmers to
stand against the using of the public
means for settling the state. Their
very interest is in line with such pol
icy. As tax payers they want men to
take up the vacant school lands and
contribute TO the state revenue.
Some twenty odd million acres now be-
longing to the state are untaxed When
this land passes 10 private ownership
ii becomes taX-bearing, and the as
sessed valuation Of real estate would be
swelled by S50,00O,000 if all this land
were in the hands of farmers, from
which the state and the school fund
would draw a revenue of about $780,
000 year. And the purchase money
would increase the permant school fund
to S75, 000,000 or more, the income from
that principal doing away with taxa
ton for school purposes.
As producers they need the waste
lands settled and towns built up for
trading centers. Population makes
towns and cities, and their citizens be-
ing consumers, they become the best
local markets for farm produce. We
have an example in the Fort Worth
packing house. Fort Worth would not
be possible but for the people that have
settled the country around it. The
packery would not be here but for Fort
Worth. And there would be no local
market for hogs and cattle but for the
packery. Give us double the country
population TO draw from. and the mar
ket at this place will be more than
doubled.
As landholders the farmer, more
than anybody else, want the country
settled, Close population makes land
valuable. The farmer owning section
of land in a county OF 10000 population
has a property worth, may be, S. an
acre Double the number of people
and it is worth SO an acre: and if, in
consequence of the added population, a
railroad is built and town spring Up
The Fort Worth gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-189?, 1891-04-23

one-third of all our people are towns
people.
But this urban population is very I'M
equally distributed over the country.
The North Atlantic states have the
largest proportion, where 1922 per
cent, or about one-haf Of all the peo-
pie, live in towns and cities. In
the South Atlantic states and the
South Central states the percentage is
but 1.19 and 6.29 respectively.
The Southern cities must grow.
They will never, perhaps, be as popu-
lous in proportion TO the whole people
as the cities Of the Northern states, for
we are more purely an agricultural
people in the South, and there is so
much more good land unoccupied in
the South than in the North to allow
for expansion in that direction, but the
Southern cities must reach a place OF
far greater Importance than they hold
at present. As the Northern states
overflow, the surplus seeks the South,
and these people bring with them their
preferences for city life.
The diversion Of manufacturing en-
terprise southwark will have the
greatest effect in changing the char
acter of our population and bringing
people to the cities.
In 1900 there Will be at least two
cities in Texas that Will number 100,
00people or more. One of these cities
will be Fort Worth. The other-that
depends.

From whatever side we look at the

welfare of the farming world goes side
by side with close-settled. well-tilled
