Henry Georges Prospects.
New YORK, September Gth.-The pros
pective candidacy of Henry George for the
Mayoralty of New York is beginning to
create feeling of uneasiness on the part of
persons and press who look upon him as
visionary, who believes in the theory that
property in land should be abolished. The
Post of Saturday said if George were elected
Mayor he could not carry his ideas into eff
feet, but the election itself would give an
impulse to SOCialistic schemes which all
other parties might view with alarm. If
there is to be struggle TO preserve the
rights of property in this country it will
reach the ballot-box soner or later, and it is
better it should begin there. Georges fol-
lowers would probably go further than
George himself would care to lead. The
abolition OF landed property points to the
abolition of property in general. There
are plenty of voters who see in the contis-
catlon of real estate a stepping stone to the
confiscation of all other property.
Samuel CoIyilie's Bequests.
New York, September 6th.-The friends
of the late Samuel Colville seek to explain
his will. 1t was dated in 1882, and he was
not at that time married to Eme Roseau,
whom, as the will stated, it was his desire
TO. make his wife. They were quietly
jCined in matrimony year or 50 later. He
left to her only $4,000 IN the will, but his
friends insist that he had previously settled
$4,000 worth of property upon her, and,
besides, he had given her diamonds worth
thousands of dollars.
Cutting Nearly Destitute.
ELPAso, September 6th.-Contrary to re-
port, Cutting has not gone East to lecture
He is still in El Paso waiting for the return
of Special Envoy Sedgwicll, the scandal
about whom he is afraid will have bad
influence of delaying his claim of indem-
nifty. Cutting is nearly destitute, his in
terest in the Mexican paper, EI Ceatinel
which he owned in Paso del Norte, having
been absorbed by the expenses of his i'm
prisonment and trial. He has declined
many offers to lecture, giving as one of his
reasons, that his Imprisonment has affected
his health unfavorably. He has been
trying to raise money enough to go to
Michigan and stay with relations there
long enough to Tecuperate, but has, so far,
not succeeded. Envoy Sedgwick has not
yet made his appearance on the Rio Grande,
and there is no telling when he will come.
