HENRY GEORGE ISSUES A NEW PAPER.

The first number of a new paper colled " The Staurtard" was issued in New \ ork on January 7th by the author of - Progress nncl Poverty, to support his peculiar views on the science of Government. In tho opinion of unprejudiced contemporaries, tlio paper committed suicide in its birth. Its salutatory was a frenzied attack on tho Roman Catholic Church for ils disciplinary measures towards ]Ji;. McGlynn. in the course of which Georpo publishes himself as the Church's bitter and active toe. Tins avowal separates himself dcllmtely and faUlly from the large body of working men whoso religion happens to be tho Roman Catholic, und identifies him with tho socialistic and anarchical element that rejects all religious control. In connection with this maltov, it may be stated that Dr. McGlynn, on account of his partisanhip for George, has been doposcd from his pos-t tsorato of St Stephen's Church . and this fac leads the " Sunday Union" and " Catholic J imcs of New York, to say that " Henry George has been for the past few months an apparition. The movement he crystallised by _ Ins potent personality has borne as the flrot fruit-, two untoward effects. If tlie career of tho most amiable, sweetest, and best, of men is clouded as a priest, tho career of Henry George, as a public man. is ended by his own hand." On January lUh two prominent Catholics of New York rein sed to serve on a banquet committee with Mr George becauso of his attack on the Romish Cnurch.
