George began the writing Of his book
Progress and Poverty
His next advent into the newspaper
field was in 1879, when he started a
weekly political paper, called 'The
State" which was published for one
year.
In 1880 he went East, with his wife
and children, and settled in New York
City.
He visited this coast again in 1890 on
his way to Australia.
While here he addressed several
large audiences at Metropolitan Tenn
pie on the single-tax question, and his
stay of two weeks in this city was
marked by several rousing receptions.
Mr.. George is spoken of by friends
who knew him while he lived here as a
man of magnanimous spirit, and one
who was always first to extend the
hand of hospitality and generosity.

A MAN OF MORAL COURAGE.
Georges Death a Loss to Litera-
ture, Society and Politics.

LOGAN (O), Oct. 29.-Hon- w. J.
Bryan to-day said: Il have just re-
ceived a dispatch announcing the death
of Henry George. The suddenness with
which the summons came will make
more keen the sorrow which the public
generally will feel at the death of so
great, so pure and so brave a man. By
his own unaided genius he made his
name familiar to the reading public of
the world around. Those who agreed
with his theories found in him an ideal
leader, while those who opposed him
admitted his ability and moral cOur-
age. He was one of the foremost think
ers of the world. His death will prove
a loss to literature, society and poll

Senator Hanna's Opinion of Henry
George.

CINCINNATI, Oct. Ex-senator Han

advised of the death of Henry George.
The Senator said:
cit is a shock to the country. Henry
George was an honest man; a man
of conviction. But his usefulness was
neutralized by his one idea. Had he
been broader in his views he would
have been a great benefactor to his
country. But he was no dema agog11e.
