Mr. Henry George in England. HIS VIEWS ON THE IRISH QUESTION.
[united press association.] London, 29th November. Henry George, the land reformer, has been addressing crowded meetings in various parts of the Kingdom, and was received with great enthusiasm in London. At a meeting last night he said he was astonished at the growth of land nationalisation in England. Referring to Irish affairs, Henry George said that tho attempt of the Tories to compensate the Irish landlords showed that they | realised the necessity of dealing with the problem;, he approved of taxing the landlords out of Ireland rather than kioking them out. In the course of Mr. George's address he was interrupted by a clamour at the back of the hall, from whence he was called upon to explain his action in approving the hanging of the Chicago dynamiters, " I approved that oourse being taken," said George, " because those men were nothing better than murderers." and this declaration was received with deafening cheers by the audience.
