DR.. Everett Hale, the New England
Unitarian minister, recently. made a
speech in Chicago in which he declared
that Presbyterianism is the greatest en-
envy of freedom in America. We do not
believe that Presbyterianism is greater
foe to freedom than any other "ism.'
DR.. Josiah Strong and other Evangelical
preachers say that "Romanism" is the
greatest menace to liberty and Repub-
lican institutions. Freedom in America
has been achieved by members OF all
churches, and no religious denomination
has monopoly Of patriotism.

Take him all in all, "little Tommy de-
serves we'll of his countrymen. He was
more fitted to adorn drawing room
than to lead men to the deadly breach,
but he deserves to be honored for pre-
serving the music of Erin from perish
ing. Others might have arisen in later
days to perform his work, but it is
doubtful if any could accomplish it so
successfully. For ages to come his me-
tedious verses will be sung with delight
by the patriot soldier and lover"
whose pulse will be throbbed at his lays.
We hope that on the approaching ami
versary of his birth the men and women
of the Irish race in this city will attend
the celebration gotten up in his honor.

1t is claimed for Father Brannan the
Texas missionary, that he is probably
the ablest controversialist now in the
United States. Father Brannan has
had vast experience. Once he was a
married layman, well known lawyer,
and later mayor Of Waterford, Texas.
After his wife died he became a priest,
and is now missionary preaching ex-
clusively to non-Catholics. 1t is related
that he would rather meet raving Cos
pellers in debate than seek to avoid
them.

BIRTHDAY OF THOMAS MOORE.

The 10th anniversary of the birth of
Thomas Moore, the National bard Of
Erin, will be celebrated in MINNEAPOLIS
on Monday evening, May 20, by the
Ancient Order OF Hibernians, who have
secured Hon. John Brennan, of Sioux
City, Iowa, to deliver an address befit-
ting the occasion. The name of Tom
Moore is dear to the Irish heart, and
the genius of the sweet melodist is more
appreciated by literary people as the
years pass by. His own countrymen
think more of him today than in the
past for rescuing the grand music Of
Ireland from the oblivion in which he
found it. He himself set proper value
on his labors when he said:
Dear harp Of my country! In darkness
found thee,
The cold chains OF silence had hung DER
thee long,
When proudly, my own native harp,
unbound thee,
And gave all thy cords to light, freedom
and song.
The Irish poet may have clearly loved
lord,' as was said by Byron, but he
also loved his country with intense de-
votion and gave voice to Irish national
ity in soul-stirring lays. What can make
the young Irishman's heart throb more
ardently for liberty than the minstrel
Boy and Brian the Brave? When
an Irish youth gazes with rapture on the
beautiful scenery of his beloved isle, are
not his thoughts turned to freedom by
the following lines of Moore:
Mononia, when Nature embellislled the
tint
OF thy fields and thy mountains so fair,
Did she ever intend that tyrant should
print
The footsteps of slavery there?
Other poets, like Davis and Mangan,
may have sung in holder strains, but
no poet has ever surpassed Moore in
the quality of an Irish lyrist. Perhaps
he has no equal as lyrist in English
literature, except the bard of Scotland,
the immortal Robert Burns.
The Irish Melodies" have been trans
lated into the principal languages Of
Europe, and the late Archbishop Nc
Hale rendered them into the melli1uous
language OF Ireland. Besides his
poetry, Moore wrote several prose
works. His Captain Rock" is a pro-
duction which drew the attention Of
British statesmen to the condition of
ireland in the early part of the present
century. His History of Ireland" and
can Irish Gentleman in Search of Re-
ligion" are productions which show that
he was true to nationality and faith.
Though the associate of the British
aristocracy he always warbled for Ire
land and defended the ancient creed of
his race.
Daniel O'Connell often embellished
his speeches with stanzas from Moores
melodies when addressing his country
men in open air meetings during his
agitation for Catholic emancipation and
the repeal of the Union. He was a
friend and college mate of Robert En-
met and has embalmed his memory in
