r—i 'NonwALKmGAZEm1 “truth above or.“ things.’ Entered in the Post Oflice as a Newspaper FRIDAY, OCTOBERB, 1897. Moore and His Poems. The following is taken from the Phil- adelphia Times and perhaps will prove of interest to_our readers: “With all appreciation of the Irish Melodies, .the most of which, with much else of his verse, has the true lyric gift, one would -.hesitate to insist . upon Tom Moore’s enrollment among the world’s great poets. that. he ' is not among those whose names. are especially insc1ibed in the Congressional Library and that the Ancient Hibe1nians have taken um- brage at the omission. “If.the-H.1bernians want to commemor- ate Moore on: what may be called polit- ical grounds, as an Irish nationalist, it will become necessary to consider his attitude in American politics also, and the author of the ‘Poems Relating to America’ would not cut a very fortu- nate figure in our particular national pantheon. He was a sentimental pa- triot and a kind of theoretical humani- tarian; but Tommy, as Byron observed of him, ‘dearly loved a lord,’ and was justabit of a snob. And democracy .2 did not please him. “No doubt American society in 1803 was more disordered, the manners rougher, the politics more violenththan we can now imagine; yet even now there is something grotesque in the ravings of this dear little man against The ills, the vices of the land where first T115156 rebel fiends that wreck the world were nu1 Bed. “With the exception of ‘the sacred few whom late by Delaware’s green banks he knew,’ and whose ‘manly polish and illumin’d taste’ alone con- soled him ‘mid the melancholy, heart- less waste,’ MOOIe found only vileness in America, ‘the brute made :ruleI and the man made brute,’ and he declared he’d ‘rather hold his neck by. doubtful tenure from a sultan’s beck-,3. than thus to live ‘where bastard Freedom waves be." fustian flag.’ The evils that he found were not even such as time and experience might cure. ' ‘ Ah, no; ’tis heartless, speculative ill, Allyouthfs transgressions with all age’s chill; The apathy of Wrong, the bosom’s ice. Aslowaand cold stagnation into vice. ‘Moore was a gentle poet, but he em- ploy ed all the strong language he could muster in his objurgatiou of this ‘fac- tious race.’ Those vaunted dernazognes who nobly rose From England’s debtors to be England’s foes, Who could their monarch' In their purse fer- get And break allegiance but to cancel debt, and boldly pr oclaimed his conviction that Columbia, ‘blasted in her prime’ was destined to calamItous decay. It is all rathe1 amusing as we 1ead it over now and perhaps not worth recalling seriously. No doubt Moore’s Federalist friends in Philadelphia shared his feel- ings—or he theirs—and ‘ smiled" at his pictuie of the new capital, whe1e ——nauz_ht but woods and Jefferson they see, Wham streets should run 11nd sages ought ‘ tobe. “And pe1haps his feelings weIe not withputjustificatiom. For all that his Americangrecord is not that of a man who need be especially commemorated in‘ the AmeIican capital to-da1 His ha1p may hang on Tara’s walls and he may be appreciatively 1emember ed on the banks of theSchuylkill, but it was I just as well to omit his name f1 om the mosaics in the National Library.’ We a1e inclined to_ag1ee with the Times, for while we admit ,that Moore wrote some of the sweetestpoems, and exp1essed some of the tenderest thoughts and by the beauty of his mel- odies and his exquisite 111 ical sty lefl has made his name immortal we cannot I consistently admire Tom Moore from an American stand because of his avowed disapprobation andi‘aversion to our. dearly loved count11y,and his offen sive way Ofexp'ressing it. ,. ————<o’Qr—.+—-‘——‘ A War Upon Pennies... The only places. where pennies are never unacceptable seems to be in the contribution boxes and in juvenile hands In all other places sooner or later the ”copper, falls into disrepute and becomes an unwelcome tender; and I in some instances proves to be a source of distraction. Atrolley conductor got so wild cor.-~ cerning the disposition he should make of his pennies at Orange, N. the ot1er dayt that he thI ew a faI 8 given him by a lady into the sheet and her complaint cost him. his place. The It appears _ trolley company of that-town does not think that pennies, were specially de- it declines to accept from conductors more. than four separate cents in any one return of receipts. This rule of the road forces the con- ductors to fight shy of pennies, and they become very expert in keeping down the supply; but the cOnductor who lost his place could’t keep his pockets clear, and he had ninety-one ‘in his pockets when the woman gave him five more. Between ,the patrons and the company the conducted did not knowwhat to do, so he glared at the Woman and threw her pennies into the street. Between the ruleof the road and the prejudice of passengers against receiv- ing many pennies at a time these Orange conductors are having a bar- rassing time, and if they are not skilled in the art of getting rid of them they would be obliged to abandon the busi- ness. " Considering the situation perhaps the conductor was not to blame for re- ducing his stock of cents by a free dis- tribution. The only trouble about that is that they are sure to return to harrass him. AA; ' V'r —All the Successful Merchants or this City Advertise in THE GAZIWZ‘TE. AA; er FEMININE CHAT. The afternoon tea table is now get- ting dressed up in its prettiest china and napery. N o matter how flattering a photo- graph may be, it never quite suits the one who sits for it. The silk shirt waist yesterday did most active duty. The plain skirt looks almost as re- markable as the parted coifi'ure. Headaches may never kill us, but they can make a really interesting play appear as dull as ditch water.

I The all-fur jacket is not deemed half as modish as the cloth o1 velvet one t11mmed fancifullv with fur. To find out just who are youI f1 iends needs only a long spell of illness 01 a short spell of financial depression. *VVith the rage for violet stationery there is a. jarring note in the red stamp which has to be used on the envelope. The autumn and winter modes are so 101 ely that not to want almost every- thing we see is to argue ourselves truly unfeminine . One of the clever things said by De Angelis in “The Wedding Day” is this: "There are three things I have always loved, but never understand —- girls married women and widows.” There is no use talking. The woman who wears her hat flaring 01f her face has a sort of brazen look, though, on the other hand, th : one wearing a tip-tilted affaiI is undeniably flirtatious in appeaIance as she glances up from beneath the rim of it. .
