 New York, Oct. 31-A mourning city, n grief-stricken people, showed honor to the man who had fallen from what he believed to be the right, to-day. Henry George, leader of the new lief fersonian democracy, apostle of the single tax and teacher of the equal rights of man, stricken on the eve of election, was honored to-day as no pri- vate citizen has ever been honored be- fore.
 Public griefs have been many in the great metropolis of America. Many have been sincerely mourned, but none, ha +o ofo Oft having served his people as a leader of soldiers and as chief executive of the land, had laid at his bier such evil dences of public grief, widespread sor- row and sincere grief as was poured out at the coffin of Henry George. The city forgot that he had been a political leader; no one would permit remind CT that he had been a candidate for public office and had been carrying on a bitter attack on those who he be- lieved were enemies of the public well fare; no one recalled the strong words of denunciation that fell from his lips while on the political rostrum. He was remembered only as a man who so loved the people that he gave his life for them.
 From the cold gray of dawn far into the sombreness of the night the out ward evidences of grief lasted. Thou sands gazed upon the familiar, beloved features, cold in death, yet smiling se- renely as in sleep; other thousands heard stirring orations preached, mag nificent eulogies upon the martyred dead. In every temple of God, wher- To 11yor or. erCt h cred to hear culture and philosophes taught, garlands of fulsome praise were bestowed upon the memory of the re- vered dead.
 In the vast auditorium where the dead rested inspired men, teachers of all faiths, Jewish and Christian, Cath olic and Episcopalian, with hearts wrung with pain, spoke words which, confessedly, fell far short of the great waves of emotion that sought to find utterance.
 Wherever words of eulogy were ut tered there was but one theme. That theme was, "He was a man. Not a dissenting voice was heard to the we'll grounded belief that the departed was a lover of the people, who he believed were being oppressed, and that he gave his life that humanity might live.
 The eulogies uttered, the day gone, the streets became filled with people who wished to see the cortege as it passed in solemn procession down New York's greatest streets, thence across the bridge which made the consolida- ton of the Greater New York. thence through Brooklyn's great streets to the Rrook1yn citv hall
 There it ended. The public had no further rights to intrude it's grief in the presence of the greater grief of those who were nearest and dearest to him. Thus he became Henry George, husband and father, and in the privacy of a hearse the remains, which had been borne on g. pretentious catafalque were taken to the home in Hamilton, from which they will be borne to their final resting place in Greenwood Mon- day morning.
