HENRY GEORGE is making his
appearance as one Of the big men
in the management Of the Irish
business. If'is generally said that
he is stunning" Michael Davitt,
that Davitt is running" the Land
League. Henry George is a pc.
culiar and eccentric individual,
who would rank amongst the FORE
most thinkers of the day il he
would let his reputation rest upon
his celebrated book. He is wholly
bound up in his theory of the own
ership of land, and will be an un-
safe and impractical leader. But
he is above and beyond dishonesty
and money-grabbing propensities
which have disgraced some who
have been connected with these
movements. He cannot be di-
verted from his purpose, and will
be a more dangerous man for the
British government than any who
have appeared as agitators.

UNDER the new Geneva award
bill ship owners are to be reim-
bursed for the extra premiums
they had to pay to insurance COM
panies. Indirect damages, like
these, were not contemplated by
the original award, but on account
Of the red tape surrounding the
whole business, most Of the money
paid by England is sill on hand.
1t is natural that ships should
charge enough extra, as freight, to
cover the extra cost Of insurance,
so that ihey have really lost moth
ing. The people who paid the
freights, in turn, reimbursed them
selves by charging their prices,
and the matter can be traced un-
til the loss is known to have fall
en- upon the nation as an entirety.
Public justice would have been
more fully effected, if the fund
now in hand were to be turned
into the treasury, where congress
could fight over it, and finally,
perhaps, give it away.

The Cincinnati Inquirer says
that during the last thirty years
the United States government has
given away to railroad corpora
tons 91,653,40l acres of public
land, q ,554,201 acres more than
are comprised in the great state of
Texas. Yet there is scarcely a
case on record where a railroad
has fulfilled its part of the contract
made with the government when
the land grant was made.

ThurlOw Weed on the Prosecu-
ton Of General Curtis by "Civil
Service RefOrmers.

In communication to the Tribune of
Monday Mr.. Weed saws:
General NJ. n. Curtis, the treasurer of the
republican State Committee, is to be victim
lied for doing what has been done at every
important election by the party in power for
more than fifty years. With proper limits-
lions the contributions from office holders is
not only duty but privilege. Objections
come with few exceptions from outsiders who
busy themselves with gratuitous, impractical
bic and preposterous reforms. The only
wonder is that the names of Messrs. Cur
tbs and Eaton were not found among those of
the highly respectable citizens committee
who last winter formulated an indictment
against Prov idence for obstructing our streets
The most noticeable and significant feature
in the crusade against General Curtis is that
il has the tact approval of President Arthur's
Secretary of the Treasury and the active CO.
operation of his District-Attorney. cannot
however, persuade myself that the President
is really informed of what is going on here.
No one knows better than General Arthur
that such contributions are both defensible
and praiseworthy. Nor does any one know
better that if General Curtis is to be indicted
nothing but a statute of limitations would
save other distinguished Republicans from .
similar fate.
But If the Civil Service Reformers must
have a victim am more than satisfied with
their selection. General Curtis caunot be
falsely accused or maliciously arraigned with
impunity. His character. personal, political
and official, is impregnsble. His military
record is a bright one. His gallant and sue
cessful defence of Fort Fisher placed his
name prominently among those distinguished
for their gsllantry in that and in other wars.
Messrs. Curtis, Eaton and woodford canno,
do General Curtis 4 greater favor than in
procuring an indictment, upon the trial OF
which his vindication will be as complete Is
the discontinue of his enemies will be dis.
creditable and Notifying.
