The London Times publishes a leading
article commenting on the Henry George
rfaoyement, and the torpor which il says
which it pronounces unexampled. "The
Republican revolt, continues the paper,
/ which brought Mr.. Cleveland into power
was in its way las remarkable as the ma
tional uprising in England against Mr..
Gladstone's abuse oil his unequaled power
and the confidence repoeed in him by his
eountrymen. In both cases the wrench was
severe, and was faced with the utmost re-
luctance, and in both cases there was a
moral emancipation and the disappoint-
merit Of the defeated parties was cruelty
bitter. The appearance OF Mr.. George as a
candidate for the mayoralty of New York
marks the introduction into America of
the characteristic traits of Parnellism.
Americans tell us confidentially that this
Soling with anarchy Will not be tolerated.
We hope it may be so, for the sake of eivili-
zation and the worlds prosperity.
