OMISSION OF mooas's NAME.
He Wrote some Objectionable Poem. ON
Americas.

Washington. Oct. 5.-The recently
discovered omission OF Thomas Moore's
name from the roll OF poets Inscribed
OH the walls of the new congressional
library has aroused the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians In this city. and they are
formulating an appeal to the 800. 900
other members of the order In this
country TO bring pressure upon Con-
grees to have the omission rectlfied.
Their complaints have developed the
fact that Moore wrote n number of bit
ter poems against America while in
this country. and. unlike Dickens and
some other English literary critics, did
not conflne his structures to America
at large. hui wrote number OF point-
ed. unpleasant and almost unprintable
things about Jefferson. who was MT
TINT time President OF the United
states. These poems relating to Amer.
len have been collected In a single vol.
ume. and II was upon this showing Of
deliberate insult to the then President
Of the United States. the library ofii-
cIal says. that the name Of Moore wns
omitted from the honor roll OF poets.

In letters to our government Japan
disciaims any designs of her own on
the Hawaiian Islands, but makes for
nal protest against their annexation
by the United States on three grounds:
First. that the maintenance of existing
conditions is essential to the good un-
derstanding OF the powers which have
interests in the Pacific; second, that
annexation would endangsr the rights
OF Japanese residents IN Hawaii who
number $4,000; and third, that it might
lead Hawaii to postpone the settlement
Of the claims of Japan against her. Our
government has replied. insisting on
the right OF annexation, but giving
Japan friendly assurances that her
rights and those of her subjects will
be respected.

The United States and Russia have
never yet had a dispute On the con-
trary. the very warmest friendship has
always existed between them. During
the civil war Russian feet prevented
British feet from blowing up New
York. In 1893 the czar offered to loan
us s1oo. 100000 in gold to replenish the
reserve. There is not much immigra-
tion from Russia, but as a rule the Rus
sian makes good citizen OF any coun-

do business in Russia. From these

learn too much about Russia. Some
time ago there was talk OF an alliance
between the United States and Eng
land. Our senate wisely refused to
ratify It. We do not think that a
similar proposition from Russia would
be as speedily refused. Perhaps a

Glynn will not attend the services as a
dead man.
The seats in the Grand Central palace
will be arranged so that the procession
that has been determined upon will not

FATHER MGLYNN's Tribute.
Raised Up by Providence for Spc-
ciaI Mission.

| Raised Up by Providence for Spc-
| ciaI Mission.
| New York, October 30.--Rev. DR.. Ed
ward McGlynn pays this tribute to the late
| Henry George: II do not think that it is
merely the enthusiastic language of de-
voted friend to say that as the providence
of God raised up Washington to be the
| father Of his country and endowed him with
| such gifts and gave him such experiences
that we might well believe that without
them the republic would not have been
achieved; as In a similar crisis those gifts
| of character were so plainly providential
that none but men with little faith In God
| could doubt that he had been prepared for
and sent upon a mission by the Father In
heaven, SO Henry George, by his extraor-
binary gifts and career showed that he was
marked by the providence of God to be the
foremost leader and teachu In the work of
emancipation OF the masses OF men every
here from an Industrial slavery so often
worse and more calling than mere chattel
slavery and to hasten the coming and per-
petuate the duration, not merely OF larger
and more perfect American union of States,
but OF the commonwealth OF the United
States and the world
well shall it be for us Americans IL We
shall not be recreant to our opportunities
and II the masses of the people shall ac-
cept the teachings of Henry George The
only alternative to such an acceptance
is a constant deterioration, ever increas-
Ing political corruption and the enormous
increase of sordid monopoles, the build
ing up OF an unprecedented and brutal
aristocracy of wealth and the constantly
increasing impoverishment Of the masses.
IL the wondrously beautiful philosophy
OF Henry George she'll not be accepted in
practice later generations of Americans,
II not our own generation, will surely be
doomed to see oppressed masses, brutal
lied by their poverty and entnrallment,
rise up to vengeance, and perhaps uge
unwise and abhorrent measures for The
rlghting OF their wrongs; but on a larger
scale, much greater numbers of men
might more than repeat the horrors of the
French revolution.
Il, myself. am no politician. | am n
clergyman, and, hope. not lacking in ma
triotism and humanity, and what have
SAID. and my attitude toward Mr. George.
SO FAR from being inconsistent with nv
religion. are largely dictated by nv re-
lision itself, namely, the religion of him
VINO felt compassion for the multitude

ing OH earth OF a kingdom of peace and
perfect Justice and brotherhood. which
