He Higgins Another Crusade Tor the
single Tax.

New York, Feb. S.-.IIenry George.
who has been for some time past quies-
cent, has suddenly started upon anoth-
er crusade IN behalf Of the single tax
theory. That he has stu II large band
of aggressive and enthusiastic follow
era was evidenced by the sympathetic
audience that crowded ChicKering hall
tonight to hear him. The chairman
introduced him as the greatest living
American" and this fulsome euloBy
was accepted with loud applause by
the crowd. Mr.. George himself be-
lieves that his theory Is constantly
gaining new recruits, and is bound
soOoner or later TO be accepted by the
whole country. He said tonight that
the Single tax idea Is stronger than
ever It's friends imagined, and he as
serted that d majority OF the inhabi-
tants OF this city accept II. He bnsed
this claim mainly on the large vote
for Inoyor which he received in 1885,
and upon the fact that, big us the re-
corded vote was, the actual vote cast
for him was much larger, amounting
as he believes to a majority. He al
legged that he was offered the mayor
ality nomination of the two Demo-
cratic factions In that campaign IL he
would not run as the labor candidate,
but he preferred 9efeat as the latter
to an assured election on the other
platform. Mr. George began his add
dress by inviting Congressman Tom l..
johnson OF Ohio. who was sitting In
the audience, TO seat on the plat
form. Mr.. johnson accepted. and
seemed 10 enjoy the speech very much.
Mr.. Georges first words were I'm at
hack on the president. The money
power. he said. controls the president,
the senate and the supreme court. but
did not yet own the house of repre-
aentatives. There is some real democ-
racy left there, as was shown by the
defeat of the Reilly bill. There was
powerful lobby he declared, working
for this bill, which included Mr.. Stet-
son, Cleveland'B former law partner,
and -. Ellery Anderson. who was APP
pointed by the president rs govern

MT George gave the credit for the de-
feat of the Reilly bill TO j. q. Mcguire.
jerry Simpson and Tom Johnson Mr..
Georges harangue was mainly de-
voted 10 the tenement house reform
question In Its relation TO the single
TAX theory. Mr. George believes that
the single tax win destroy poverty and
thus solve the tenement house prom
lem. He was invited to address tho
tenement house reform mass meeting
in Cooper's Union last week and did
10. But he attacked tho entire
report OF the Glider commission and
spoke so eloquently of the single tux
that he came mar capturing tho entire
meeting. Mr.. George having been sub
jecied TO some criticism for this per-
formance he called tonlghts meeting
for the purpose of further agitation
and explanation. He invited Richard
Watson Glider. Rev. DIR, Rainsford.
Prof. seligman and Prof. Felix Adler.
the supporters OF the tenement house
reform movement. 10 be present and to
divide the time with him Only Mr..
Glider RESPONDED. and he by letter. MY,
Glider wrote that he was leaving town
by order OF his physician and could not
be present. He spoke kindly of MIR.
George. but said that II from prefer-
ence for his pet theory he opposed
those immediate measures OF relief pro-
posed by the commission. he was u
different man than he had Judged him
to be. Mr.. George said In his speech
that n he had supported that report
he would have stultified himself, and
that there had been no conceaiment OF
his Views.

There is much going to and fro of
horse flesh even in New York state
limits. Hence It is plain that the
transportation companies have some
thing to lose beyond the carrying OF
holiday crowds. The telegraph COM
panies coyly admit that racing news
outside pool room reports Is worth q
quarter of n million to them yearly,
and outsiders, wise in the ways OF the
electric Egyptians, say four times that
amount would not cover their pfoIits
from this source. Then there are those
gentlemen, the saddlers, harness MAX
ers and furnishers OF horse clothing to
reckon with. They admit readily
enough that lively racing season
means an extra 100000 worth OF trade
10 them. As less than twenty per cent
of the goods they sell are imported
