HENRY GEORGE 1S 'DEAD

Was Candidate of the Thomas Jef=ferson Democracy for Mayor of Greater New York — His Son Named in His Stead.

New York, Oct. 30.—Henry George, author of ‘““Progress and Poverty,” and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson democracy for mayor of New York, died at 4:50 o’clock Friday morning in the Union Square hotel of cerebral apoplexy.; In his great Cooper Union speech accepting the nomination for mayor less than a month ago, he said: “I’ll make this race if it costs me my life.

HENRY GEORGE, . citizen I have no right to disregard it on account of mere personal consideration.”” To-day the cheers of the workers have_suddenly been changed to sighs, for, true to his word, Henry George, the apostle of the rights of men, died as he wished to die—in harness fighting for the cause—toward the-=close of the greatest municipal political contest the world has ever seen. ¥

The End Peaceful.

The end was peaceful and he died without pain. This man of mighty brain' .and undaunted courage was physically frail and the strain of an exciting campaign requiring speechmaking -at points many miles apart, right after night, was more than nature could stand. He kept it up to the end, and only a few hours before the dread messenger cried halt, Henry Ceorge had addressed enthusiastic audiences in three of the towns of the borough of Queens and a still larger assemblage in an uptown hall here.

Henry George’s Career.

. Henry George was born on Septexf;ber 2, 1839. He received a common schogl education and then went into a countit%gi:oom. He was also a sailor ‘and aftérwards learned the printers’ tradé. In 1858 he reached California, where he worked at the printer’s case until 1866, when he became a reporter and afterwards .editor, working at different times on the San Francisco Times and Post. | He returned to New YorkK in 1850 and went to England and Ireland the following .year, where he was twice arrested as a suspect, but afterwards released when his fdentity became established. Mr. George is best known to the world at large through ‘his writings upon economic guestions, notably his work entitled ‘‘Progress and Poverty,’”’ published in 1879. His other works are: ‘“Our Land and Land Policy,’”’ 1871; “Irish Land Question,”” 1881; ‘“‘Social Problems,’”” 1883; “‘Property in Land,’”” a | controversy with the duke of Argyle, 1884; ‘“The Condition of Labor,”” an open letter to Pope Leo XIII, 1891, and ‘A Perplexed Philosopher’’ (Herbert Spencer), 1892. - - In 1886 Mr. George was nominated-by the united labor party for mayor of New York, polling 68,000 votes against 90,000 for. Abram S. Hewitt, the democratic nominee, and 60,000 for Theodore Roosevelt, mow assistant secretary of the navy, republican.

REGARDED AS SATISFACTORY.

Spain’s Reply to Woodford Not Cal-

culated to Breed an Issue.

Washington, Oct. 20.—The Spanish reply to Minister Woodford’s note concerning Cuba has been talked of informally between the president and several-of the cabinet ministers, and it may be stated positively that the administration regards the note, so far as its tenor is revealed by the abstract cabled by Mr. Woodford, as being conciliatory, and not calculated to breed an issue. It can aiso be stated that gratification is felt that the answer was forthcoming within so short a period of time after delivery of Mr. Woodford’s note, having regard-to the intervention of the Spanish crisis and change. The acts already performed by the new cabinet toward a correction of some of the evils of which we complain in Cuba are regarded as ah earnest of the intention of the Spanish government to faithfully fearry out the entire reform programme, and if there should be a speedy alleviation of the frightful condition of the unfértunate reconcentradoes in Cuba through a prompt revocation of Weyler’s concentration order it is felt that our government will have little further to ask. ‘ :

The Trade ‘Situation, . New York, Oct. 30.—R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly.review of trade say: *The testing of‘retqll trade is in progress, but results are remarkably retarded by long-continued mild weather and also by the fever in southern distrficts. Even from that quarter some large érders lately received show better distribution than was ‘yvet expected. In spite of unseasonably warm weather, which greatly hinders retail dealings in winter goods at all points east of the plains, the large nupber of supplementary orders, with urgent pressure for quick delivery, makes it clear that. ‘the sales in many branches have exceeded the expectation of dealers, so that replenishment of stock is not yet:/finished. Meanwhile wholesale trade arr‘xg orders to manufacturers have been snfaller. than when the rush was greatest, but have neverthless been lapge for this stage, even in a year of general prosperity, for the payments through theé principal clearing houses have for the week been 3.9 per cent. larger than im the same week of 1892, and for the month 6.1 per cent.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,

Report of Secretary Wilson Px}ge’sénfed to the President.

Washington, Oct. 30.—Secretary. Wilson has pres:nted his. report to the president reviewing the operations of ' the ‘department of agriculture for the past year. The most important recommendation made by him is -one that agents for the department should be stationed at each of our more important American embassies for the:cols. lection of infbrmation of interest to American farmers. Referring to this subject, he says: ‘‘We are endeaVoring to get informatien from foreign‘countries, with whom we compete in the markets of the world, r.egax{d.lng crops Qnd prices. :-We are alsa taking' steps to ascertain what crops are grown on different thermal lines, so that seeds and pilants may intelligently -be brought to this- country to assist in the -diversification of our crops and add to their variety. i There is' necessity for Amgrican agents in every foreign country to which we send representatives who have had education in the sciences relating ‘to agriculture. 'The agricultural colleges endowed by congress are educating "along these lines.” FAT A T -

The secretary recommends an increase in the appropriations in aid of a bureau of animal industry, of the weather bureau and publication offices. He thinks the department “should ' be enabled to place the result of -important operations at. agricultural colleges before the entire country; ‘“‘so that the farmers of each state may get the. result of the good work’done in other states.” 1. 5% 3

He refers’'to the efforts of the department to extend the foreign markets for our dairy and live stock products, which he thinks can be done by making the foreigners familiar with_ them.- Instead of sending abroad for seeds, he says the policy in the future will be ‘‘to eneourage.the introduction of such seeds as will enable our people to diversify »t}‘fir,crops and keep moneéy at home that® is now sent abroad to buy what the United States should precduce.”’| 5 g

Mr. . Wilson. says the department will continue its pioneer work in the.encouragement of the sugar beet, and expresses the opinion that the country will within a few years raise all the sugar it requires. -He expresses the opinion that nearly all of the $382,000,000 sent abroad last year for sugar, hides, fruits, wines,!animals, rice, flax, hemp, cheese, wheat, barley, beans, eggs and silk might have been kept at home.’ He also thinks the United States should grow its own chicory, casto beans, lavender, licorice, mustard, Opéi, ete. - With reference to horses, the secretary says: ‘“The American farmer-can grow. horses as cheaply as he can grow cattle; ‘'we have a heavy and profitable expert trade in cattle, and may have:an export trade equally heavy and profitable in horses. The department is gathering facts regarding our horse industry at home, 9§nd' the requirements of purchasers-abroad,’ so that our farmers can_learn what foreign buyers demand.” ' § 2= The most important work in which the animal industry bureau has been engaged is, he says, that looking to the'destruction of the cattle tick, for which it is believed. that an ag%%t has been found in a petroleum prodtict known as paraffin oil, in which infected cattle are dipped. - : The ‘extension of the meéat inspection work to abbatoirs engaged in interstate business is recommended, as is the eontinuance of the inspection of export animals, in order to maintain the markets which have been secured for them in other countries. -

The secretary criticises the present system of crop reporting.- He says it’is extremely cumbersome, and that-instead of conducing to completeness and-accueacy, itwouldappear from the report of the statistician to in some measure deféat its own object, by its own unwieldyness and by th fact that the indefinite multiplication o%; crop reporters weakens the sense of individual responsibility. He strongly fa-’ vors the making of some pecuniary acknowledgment of the service of a carefully selected corps of correspondents, selected mainly in the principal agricultural. states, and that: reliance--be placed upon. the' state statistical agents for informa-, tion regarding the states of minor agricultural importance. . He recommends the ‘employment of a principal statistical agent in each state. = . ’ )
