EYictions in Ireland.
Nation, March 8.

Dublin Nation, March8.
A parliamentary return issued on Tues
day shows the terrible havoc that was
wrought among the homesteads of Ireland
last year by the crowbar brigade. The re-
turn gives the number of evictions which
came to the knowledge of the police during
the year 1882, as well as the number of fami-
lies readmitted either as tenants or care
takers. The number of families evicted
reached 5,201, this figure representing SO, 1856
persons. OF this total 1893 families, or 1888
persons, were reinstalled in their old homes
as tenants, while 9. 1881 families, or II, 33S peo-
pie, were readmitted as ~caretakers. Taking
the evlctions by provinces, it is seen that the
number was reached in Munster,
which shows a total of LAY families evicted.
Connaught is exactly twenty below this
figure, with 1857. In Ulster 1,176. and in
l. einster 1,091 families were rendered home
less. In the last quarter of the year there
were 709 cases, as compared with LAB in the
previous quarter,

The result of the star route trials can

would probably prevent conviction,

no more doubt in the public mind that
great frauds have been committed than

so vast they seem to involve interests
which make conviction almost impossi-

Monument to the Confederate
Dead.

/ CAMDEN, S. c., June 20.-The mon
ument erected by the women of Ker.
shaw county, in memory of the con-
federate dead, was dedicated to-day
There was a grand military demon
stration in which twenty companies
comprising more than thousand
men, participated. Col. q. B. Cantry,
of Camden, acted as chief marshal,
and Brig. Gen. Richardson, of Sum
ter. commanded the troops. The
crowd attending the ceremony was
estimated at 5000. Senators Hamp-
ton and Butler, Governor Thompson
and other distinguished men were
present. The ceremonies of unveil-
ing consisted of an artillery salute, d
dedicatory prayer, ode by the ladies
and addresses. The veil was stripped
from the monument by group of
young ladies.
The above press dispatch suggests
the inquiry, What is being done, OF
what is proposed to be done, in re
ference to the erection of n monu>
ment to the Confederate Dead in our
cemetery or elsewhere in the city.
We know that the funds accumulated
in many patriotic ways, have been
well invested, and that their growth
has been steady and healthy, but we
think it is full time that steps were
being taken to rear the contemplated
shaft. How much money has the
Memorial Association in hand, to the
credit of this monument fund, and
how much is needed for the work?
We are not actuated by idle curiosity
in asking these questions, but by
feelings of devotion to the memory
of the dead, and considerations and
affection for a generation that has
come to us since the believing guns
were hushed, and to whom the con
templated shaft will be constant
reminder of the heroism, patriotism,
love of State and home, and the self.

enterprise born of our love in the
days when our dead were nearer to

Internal Revenue Taxation.

After the first day of July,,the only
important source of Internal Revenue
will be from liquor and tobacco, and
il there is any means Of collecting
money for public purposes, by the
United States, or the State, the
county or the municipality, that will
bear less heavily upon the people
than this, we cannot imagine what it
is.
The tax laid upon whisky and
tobacco is of course, like all other
taxes,paid by the consumer; but then
it is tax that the individual con-
sumner himself, in every instance,
assesses. 1t is with the consumer
and not with the collector to say
whether the tax paid by the individ
ual shall be much or little, for it
goes in due proportion upon every
drink of liquor,every quid of tobacco,
every pinch of snuff and each cigar
or cigarette, aud those who consume
most pay most, while those who alb
stain altogether do not contribute a
farthing Of Internal Revenue.
To do away with the collection of
Internal Revenue altogether as is
proposed by most of the Protective
Tariff advocates, is to set whisky and
tobacco free so far as Federal taxi
ton is concerned, and thus throw
away over a hundred millions of dol
lars of revenue; but in doing this
they have no idea of crippling the
resources of the Government OF
hazarding a treasury deficiency-If q
hundred or hundred and fifty nils
lions are lost by the absolute repeal
of the Internal Revenue laws, the
deficit can only be made up by the
imposition Of custom house duties
upon imports now free, and the
maintaining of the heavy duties upon
articles of general necessity and util'
ity, of which the consuming classes
have so long and bitterly complained
Such shallow game as this should
not deceive any Of our people, and
they should not be deluded by the
hypoclitical pretence that in repeal
ing the Internal Revenue laws they
propose TO rid us of the army OF
spies, and informers, and inspectors
and marshals who have haunted our
hills and hollows ever since the war.
There is no use of this army of spies,
at all 1t is not the Internal Reve
nue. itself but the system Of collect
ing it that is harassing, expensive,
intrusive, and generally objectiona'
bic. Let every still be taxed accord
ing to its capacity, and every manu-
facturer of tobacco taxed according
to his average annual business or in
such other way as will give reason.
able guarantee against fraud, but
maintain the impost upon these
great sources of goIuHtary taratjon,
and release us "gradually but stead
ily," from the heavy custom house
burdens that are upon us and that
we must pay whether we want to or
not.
In any revision Of the internal
Revenue laws that is undertaken an
effort should be made to release from
Federal taxation all liquors made
from fruits and the tobacco grower
should be set entirely free in the
matter of the disposition of his crop
in the leaf, and also be permitted to
and sell, without reye-
nue. tax, the tobacco from his own
field.
