THE SHAUGHRAUN" AND It's RRCEPrIoN-j
Our readers have noticed that during last week
R the available fences and waS were plAcArded with
bills that announced the appearance Sunday even
ling, 10th inst OF dramatic troupe At the Academy
lOf Music, who were to produce the 'ShauShraun" al
drama supposed to represent the of
Irish people, and hold up to nature the embodiu Onts
of their customs On the first evening of its nterpre
tAtion very large audience assembled witness ths
pAy-the maj orty of those present being irish or of
Irish descent The plot Of the play its action and
imaginable trait of Ishmen that they determined to-
give unmstakAble evidences OF their dsapproval of
the play and the actors. They reflected that although
1rIshman wrote the play tho actors, account of
their make up and style Of acting were objects of
deserved cOntempt they reflected that other people
had rghtS to be at any performance which 1t
pleased them 70 attend but they ALTO reflected that
NO nationality or creed should be burIesqued and

Two Parties.

The division of political parties into
black and white is unnatural, for the color
of the skin has no known influence upon
the purely intellectual operations of the
mind. On any question of policy, colored
men, prejudice aside, are as apt as white
men to Disagree, and, therefore, each party
espousing a different side of the contro-
versy, would naturally embrace men of
every color.
Why is it, then, that the Democratic
party of to-day, in this State, is expected
to include all the white pOpulationf Have
the white people of Louisiana always been
unanimous in their Democracy Certainly
not. The Wing party was formerly very
powerful here, sometimes even controlling g
the State. Is Democracy any better now
than then in any degree more pure more

The spirit of American Democracy il
simply this: The least possible amount OF

The Memorial Ceremony.

On Wednesday next, weather perm itting,
New Orleans expects to make a public
demonstration in honor of the great and
good man who but lately filled 30 important
IA place on the stage of human affairs under
the title of Plus TX. A detailed programmed
1of the arrangements under the supervision
'of Gen. Beauregard will be found published
lin this number of the MORNING STAR as
we'll as in all the daily papers. The wis
dom of the Committee of Arrangements in
securing the services of Gen. Beauregard
in such a capacity is happy omen of sue.
cess. In fact, as an organized display the
success of the demonstration is assured in
advance. In addition to this, however, the
|selection of names for subordinate POSITIONS
indicates universality Of interest in the
occasion hitherto unknown in this city.
In fact the demonstration though origin ]
|ally intended to be Catholic, in the reli- !
Igious sense, bids fair to be Catholic in the
Iordinary sense. Numbers of prominent
Icitzens who are not Catholics are taking al
decided interest in the preparations and
intend to take part in the demonstration.
L ue llIc duO CuAEdCtCT OI our ueCeAS6O
pontif were such as appeal to the univer-
sal human heart. Independently of his
grace of Christian charity, he was by ma
lture gifted with an inexhaustible fund of
human benevolence. Kindness and con-
federation for others marked every pulsa
ltion Of his heart, and all men of every
sect and every color were his brothers.
The best proof of this is the kindly feeling
with which nearly all men, even of reli-
sgous views the most antagonstic to his
faith, regard his memory.
Thus it is that the coming demonstration
has grown out of its character of strictly
religious one and developed into universal
tribute of human affection and human re-
lspect for man who was one of the best
and grandest representatives of his race.
The world cannot lose anything by paus,
ing one day to mark it's respect for virtue
as pre- eminently embodied in the person Of
him who 80 long stood on the topmast pin
acle of human affairs, and whom the world
will now see no more.

Objects of Taxation.

Men expect to live first and then support
the government. This is natural enough
that they can, after a fashion,
get on without civil government, but not
without something to eat. 1t follows, then,
that the support of government must bel
expected to fall and ought to fall on those
who have a surplus. Let US start them
from the point that taxation should be laid i
mot on the necessities of life, but on super
Ihuities and luxuries. Thus, by way of
example, bread is a necessity; coffee is not.
If this principle we're recognized as the
basis of taxation and could be practically
applied, much of the hardship of tax paying
would disappear. Many poor man whose
little property is assessed at, say, Sl0O0l
ands it very difficult to pay his annual tax
of $50. In fact he gets into arrears for it,,
and finally the tax collector sells him out.
He never could save the money; but in the
meantime he has been spending twenty
cents day for whiskey, which was S73
a year, or more than double his tax.
Whiskey and it's kindred of the bottle
are not the only opportunities INDUCED in,
There are tobacco, tea, coffee, silks, fine
fabrics of wool, linen or cotton, jewelry,
gold and silver ware and many other
luxuries without which people can do very
veil. If it could be 80 arranged az to
collect percentage OF the consumption Of
all such things and nothing else, nobody
would pay any tax unless he chose to do it,
and it would become certain that the bur.
den was falling on those only who were
able to bear it without suffering. The tar
would really be voluntary. But this could
not be said of tax laid on any kind oi
property apart from its consumption. A
man may own blocks of empty building
and be without any income. With what
then, shall he pay his taxes. He may hav,
no money, while it is cure that he hal
come if he is able to live luxuriously.

THE PALLIUk ON ARCH
BISHOP GIBBONS.

BALTIMORE, February 1o.-The ceremony of
bestowinR the Pallium upon the Most Rev.
Archbishop Gibbons to-day was attended
with most imposing ohuroh rites aud interest
ing features. The attendance Of reverend pre-
lates from all parts Of the dountry was larger
than has ever been known ct any church oere-
mony in this county, and the presence Of q
large number Of ecclesiasticS, BsminarlRns and
clergy lent additional attraction to the ocoa-
sion. Archbishop Gibbons, who received the
Pallium, was appointed last November to ali
the vacancy caused by the death Of the late
Archbishop Bayley. Although the Church
law requires that the prelate should receive
from the hands ofthe Pope direct the holy robe,
exceptions are made in cssee where the re-
|clpient cannot personally visit Rome, in which
contingency the Pallium is placed in the
handle of . special messenger, who, vested
with high powers, travels with his charge TO
the prelate who is to receive it. The PaIIium
conferred to-day is the hrst that has ever been
bestowed by the proxy of the Holy Father in
this country. Cerdnal McCloskey, as Arch-
bishop, journeyed to Rome to receive his, and
wheR the higher distinction Of Cardinal was

But the great problem OF reform In tnis
direction 10 how to collect the tax on luxuriesl
lin proportion to their use. The difficultiesI
lin the way of this have always been so great
that people have generally preferred to lay|
the chief burden of taxation on real estate
which cannot be concealed from either the
tax assessor or the tax collector. So far as|
bar room indulgence is concerned the|
|problem seems to have been solved by theI
ingenious Moffet law. Public drinking is!
taxed in exact proportion to its extent il
the tax is most profitable ono and it is|
paid without salary to the collector and
without jadicial process on the tax payer.
Now it 10 in order for some equally shrewdl
legislator to levy self collecting tax onj
billiard tables and cigar stands. When i'll
comes to tea and coffee we pause. We canI
hardly expect this generation to produce al
genius equal to the tack of collecting al
on their consumption with theI
gentle suavity of the bell-punch and with
out the impertinent inquisition which
makes special taxation so intolerable.
Still we live in hope. The great barden|
of civil government is taxation, and that
burden will become almost imperceptible|
III it can be made voluntary; that is, if i'll
can be shifted from objects of which all
must make use to dSjects with the use of
which any body can dispense when crampedI
for means.

The two following items we take from last
weeks Catholic Rerietc of New York

The two following items we take from last
weeks Catholic Reriesc of New York:
A few days ago the authorities of the town
Hun ntingdon, Pennsylvania, became alarmed by
the discovery that small pox was prevalent in
the place, and they passed an ordinance pro.
|hibiting "all public assemblies" This was an
Extremely arbitrary and most probably an un-
constitutional aot; but the authorities insist
led on enforciD e 1t, and notified the people that
they must not even assemble in their churches.
The Protestants, with the exception of the
Methodists obeyed the Methodist meeting
police closed and looked it before any Of the
people arrived. The Catholics, who must
lobey God rather than man, and who know
from Holy Mass on Sunday without lawful ex-
ouse, went as usual to their church many of
them entered "before the policemen arrived"
but those who came later were not allowed to
enter. The next day the priest, Father Muir
ply, was arrested and fined $40 ior violation
of the city ordinance. To prevent people
from coming together to worship God, on the
purely in6del notion. If the authorities Of
Huntington were we'll instructed they wonld
know that it is exactly in times of public
aud most useful Many city has been saved
from devastation by plague, famine, and war,
Through the prayers of it's people and it's
don MS is closed by force, and the " people are
prevented by force from entering it,, they
must submit, we suppose; but more foolish
ACT than This on Ghe part OF the auGnorlLleS
could scarcely be imagined.
A Diocesan item in another column chroni-
cles an eveut too peculiar not to deserve
more than passing notice. The Protestant
Ministers lawyers, doctors and judges of an
entire community assembled on Sunday after
noon in Catholic church to listen to 9 tenn
perance address, and to repeat after Catho-
lie priest the words of 9 solemn pledge to
avoid Intoxicating drinks, in honor of the So
cred thirst and agony eof our dying Lord
present . scene which has probably no
parallel elsewhere. But that iG what occur-
red last month in st. Patriok's church,
Chatham Village, N. z, where Father James
j. Moriarty, the pastor, delivered On address
on "The Temperance Question, Socially ana
Theologically Considered" On that occasion,
the Rev. Messrs. Van Arsdale, Stevens and
King, Protestant Olergymen, accompanied by
some OF the prominent members OF theH
churches, Judge Cadmsn, Counsellore Brown,
Strait, and (that his sponsors in baptism may
live to hear it y j. Wesley Jones, Drs. BarnsS'
Sohufelt and Wheeler, and many other we'll
known Protestants were present and took the
pledge. That happened at Chatham-but in
Brooklyn we hear of two Protestant physl-
oians attending Dominican mission every
evening while it lasted, and reciting the
rosary as attentively as any OF the
audience. There is more likelihood ZOE
