Mr.. Georges Home Coming.

Mr.. Henry George comes back
from England jubilant. He says
his ideas are fast winning con-
verts there. Is it not possible
that MI. George mistook the personal
tributes to his own intellect and char
acter for concessions to his ideas? The
two things are very different indeed.
Mr.. George is doubtless regarded by
the English people, as he is by the
majority of Americans, asa man of pure
character and beneficent motives;
of good intellect, and high attain
ments in the field of economics.
But we think that the gem
eral opinion, as well as
that of those who have made a radical
study of his works, is that he has been
misled by an erroneous theory, which,
having it's birth in his own brain, has
gained an ascendancy over his mind
which prevents him from weighing it.
self and other ideas at their true
value.
The propagandism of Mr.. George,
however, cannot fail to do some good.
Whatever is wrong in his system
will, of course, be eliminated
by the prudence of others with
whom he will have to deal, and
the world will profit by the free venti-
lation of economic principles in gen
eral, and by the interest in them
among the masses of the people, who
heretofore have been swayed by pas
sion, and not by an intelligent study
of politics from the plane of prin-
ciple.
We believe that the George agitation
is a good thing, because everything
that awakens the public mind is good.

out that Hageman had taken several drinks or

Is there no society for the protec-
ton of animals to punish this blue
coated brute?
All this is of very near concern to
Jersey City people. Hundreds OF u
best families visit Asbury Park every
summer, and so long as such outrages
are allowed to continue, no one is
safe. If no less agency will suffice, the
Legislature ought to be asked to deal
with the nuisance.

A SUSPECTED SUICIDE.

Is Still Missing.
Special to the jersey City News

TRENTON, July 80, 1sS9.-A month ago
Christopher Halford was injured by being
struck by q train at Pennington, and so
severely hurt that it was found necessary
to take him to ST. Francis Hospital, in this
city. He had been there but a few days
when he told one of the Sisters that he
was well enough to leave, and asked per-
mission to do SO. She replied that she
would go and ask about 1t. When she
returned the sick man was gone, and the
most dfligent search failed to reveal his
whereabouts. He had escaped from the
building. His friends were notified, and
they hunted in every direction
for days and have, up to the pres
ent time, never heard of the
missing man. They believe that he has
ended his life in some way. Mr.. Halford
had acted strangely for some time prior
the accident. He had always been q
vigorous workman and was the owner of
u nice home and the father of an interest
ing family. For several months he has
been very unwell and it is believed that
his mind became affected. 1t was gener-
ally believed that he purposely got in
front of the train which Injured him. His
friends are still anxiously awaiting It'd
ings from him.

That Freeholder Bill.

The question of the constitutionality
of the F~reeholders' law is one OF great
interest to the community. The
huge Boards now mismanaging the
affairs of Essex and this county are
altogether out of line with all prin-
ciples of good government. The
smaller executive or semi-executlve
bodies are made, the better, and after
all, the Boards of Freeholders are al
most purely executive in character,
1t is at least certain that every good
citizen of these two counties hopes to
see the law prevail.

The Weather and the CroDs.

The weather crop bulletin of the signal Office
says: 1.-THE week ending May 10 has been warmer
than usual in all agricultural districts east of
the Mississippi and from Iowa southwark to
Texas. 1t has also been warmer than usual on
the Pacific coast, but in the extreme northwest,
including Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska, Col
orado, and Montana, abnormally low tempera-
lures have prevailed, attended by SHOWS, and in
some cases freezing weather. There has been
an excess of rainfall during the week generally
throughout the upper lake region, the upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys, where the ex-
cess ranged from one to three inches. More
than the usual amount of rain is also reported
from Virginia, Maryland western Pennsylvania
eastern Massachusetts,, eastern Ohio, and south
ern Indiana, and well-distributed showers oc-
Cured over Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas
and northern portions of Louisiana and Texas.
The weather during the week was favorable for
growing crops in all sections, except in the
south Atlantic and east gulf states. where hot,
dry weather and the absence of rain was I'M
favorable for cotton, and has doubtless caused
some damage to small grains in South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, and southern portions of
Louisiana and Mississippi. Generally through
out New England. the middle Atlantic states.
and states north of the Ohio river the week was
especially favorable and all crops are making
satisfactory progress, except in portions of In
diana, where the drought continues.

DANGERS OF THE FOG.
A Pilot Boat Cut i'm Two and Two
Lives Lost.

Two of the steamers began the trip from New
York Saturday with bad luck, owing to the fog
which prevailed. The Servia ran ashore on
homer shoal and had to wait for high water to
be pulled off. The Normandie got afoul of
buoy No. 6, the chain of which became en-
tangled in her propeller and took several hours
to get free again. The ship Algoma. of Hall
fax, from Rio Janeiro, ran on the bar at Long
Branch and lay broadside on all the afternoon.
Two pilots were lost by the cutting down of
the pilotboat No. 5, Charlotte Webb, by the
French steamer La Normande, bound out.
The accident occurred about ten miles east of
Sandy Hook while the pilotboat was at anchor.
There were eleven pilots on the Webb. The
nine saved were put on board the Cunarder
Etruria and landed at Staten Island this morn
ing. The men lost were the boatkeeper and
the Oldest pilot on board. The La Normandie
turned back to bring the pilots to port and
falling In with the Etruria transferred the men
to that steamer.
OTHER COLLISIONS.
Saturday night, during the fog, the Ward
Line steamer City of Atlanta, from Havana,
ran into the schooner Mary Davis, anchored
off the narrows outward bound She struck
the schooner on the starboard bow and cut
clear through her foremost. At o'clock last
night the steamer Comal, bound out was run
INTO by the steamer Guyandotte while the
former was lying at anchor below quarantine
The Guyandotte cut about Is feet into the star
board quarter overhang of the Comal The
Guyandotte's bow was cut into or feet in
width to within foot of the waters edge. The
Comals steering gear was destroyed by the
COLLISION; The Guyandottes passengers will go
by rail- the cargo by the Roanoke. The Comals
passengers and cargo will probably go by the
steamer Colorado. The captain of the Guyan-
dotte claims that the Comal was dragging her
anchor when the collision occurred The sa-
loon passengers of the Etruria, coming up to-
day. made up purse of f73, which was divided
among the crew of five men
