NEW York, Nov. 24.--The nineteenth

martyrs, was celebrated In tile Cooper Union
Inst evening under the auspices Of the Fe-
nian Brotherhood. George Smith presided,
and addresses were made by Henry George.
j. B. Archibald, j. j. Bealin, Hamilton
Williams and others. Henry George said
that the Fenian movement gave birth to the
land league which In turn gave birth to
principle which Is now sweeping through
the world-the principle that the land be-
longs to tho people. "When was In Ire
land" continued Mr.. George, 'the best loved
of Irish bishops sent for me and said
what Is that land doctrine with which your
name is indissolubly linked? l explained
It to him and lie said: God bless you my
son. / have piled you with question to
learn II you were a fit leader for tile social
revolution that no power on earth can
STOP"
Mr.. George continued by declaring that
the real cause of the distress In Ireland was
the same as the cause of poverty and dis
tress In all countries, the fact that men were
allowed to hold the land on which other
men must live and draw from them all their
produce except enough to keep breath in
their bodies. He was loudly applauded.

the Fairvlew plantation, st. Mary's parish,
still continues. Captain Pharr, owner of
the place, las the support Of all the ncigh-
boring planters and an effort will be made
to crush out the attempt to organize the
field hands into the Knights of Labor. A
local newspaper which hos generally been
regarded rs representative of the labor In.
interests here. calls upon the Knights of
Labor to halt in this matter. It says: 1T
is entirely unnecessary 10 organize the field
hands of the country into labor societies,
even II such combination purports to be in
self-tlefense. The purpose of the combna.
tIon of labor Is to offset the consol lidation of
capital. There Ia not In the history Of this
country an organization Of planters or farm.
ers which las the power to Cypress labor.
In the nature of things such combination
cannot be effected. In no other industry s
there such active competition for labor as in
the agricultural. The sugar Industry pays
better wages than any other agricultural In
dnstry in tie United States. and it's existence
should not be endangered by methods which
would involve laborer and planter In COM
