Henry George.

Henry George died early this morning in
New York under circumstances that cause
his death to become the most important
happening of many months. George was
an advanced thinker. radical in many
views. courageous in his convictions, am
bilious. and honest in thought and deed.
His study of certain problems relating to
the condition of labor and of the poorer
classes had resulted i'll The declaration of a
theory that has attracted many thousands
barrassments arising from the complex
conditions of modern society. Those who
leaned toward the single-tax theory as an
abstract doctrine were more numerous by
far than those who advocated its embodi-
ment in law and Its application in admin
istration. George was in many respects a
strong type of the American civilization
largely sef-educated, self-reliant and en-
ergetic without stint. His intemIerate use
of his energies in the campaign just closing
undoubtedly caused his death. AS he pass
IS away he will be sincerely regretted not
only by those who followed him TO the lin

who admire originality. courage and per-
sistence. The purity of his life and of his
political methods. his hatred of corruption
and his defiance of bosses in politics all
combined to make him striking person.

The Marine Band.

The Marine Band is an excellent musical
organization. II includes many superior
performers and has at all times within
recent years been capable of producing the
finest music in the best Of style. But the
leader and members of 1t are subject to
the restrictions and humiiations of enlisted
men and as musicians are wretchedly
under-paid. At the same time the govern
ment is proud of the band; utilities it upon
state occasions with q feeling of national
satisfaction and expects great things Of
the poorly-paid. scarcely recognized indi-
viduals who compose the organiza ton.
The band is frequently confronted with
difficulties in the way of securing extra
earnings, though the latest action of the
department will make 1t possible for the
men TO go to Chicago to fulfil an engage
ment that will enable them to exc out their
miserable wages with side returns. The
scale of pay should be high enough to

Cuban Situation shrewdly Diagnosed

from the London Spectator.
Senior Sagasta has had the nerve to recall
General Weyler frcm Cuba. and has APP
pointed Marshal Blanco, an officer who will
pursue milder methods. He has also asked
the autonomists of Cuba to name some
CIbans worthy Of high Office. That is al!
excellent, but the rocks ahead of his path
are numerous and very high. In the first
place. the Cuban leaders reject his offers
and demand independence. In the second.
he has to compel the Cubans to provide
the interest on seventy millions sterling of
new debt In the third place. according to
an Englishman recently in Cuba with ex-
ceptional opportunities of knowing the
truth. General Weyler's conquests have
been unreal. half the Spanish army has
persisted or become diseased. the insur-
gents are in full possession of the interior,
and are now even entering towns and ''tak-
ing what they want."On the other hand,
there Is a distinct lull in American eager
Tess to pick a quarrel with Spain, and a
wish to wait until it Is clearly seen how
far Sagasta. or rather the cleo behind
him. are wiling to go. AS we have re-
peatedly pointed out, the excessive suf-
ferings of the two hundred thousand young
corscripts sent to Cuba will greatly affect
the result of the elections.
