Coming ThIa WAY.

From Philadelphia. where "Superba,"
the big fairy pantOmime of the fam Gus Han
Ion Brothers, is now playing, the organiza-
ton will make rapid strides to this Coast
Playing in Baltimore the week ending Jan
uary 9th. and opening In San Francisco
February 22d is fairly big travelling. Every
thing will be carried as seen in the produc-
ton in the East. 1t will undoubtedly prove
a novelty here, as il is a radical departure
for the HanlOn Brothers and is totally I'M
like anything yet seen in the spectacular
line. Ii represents years OF labor on the
part of the celebrated brothers, who have
introduced so many wonderful specimens
Of stage magic that they are said to have
shown themselves such adopts in inventing
mechanical devices as to equal in results
nearly as inexplicable illusions as the great
magicians have dOue by their legeTdemain
The performance in Philadelphia is alluded
to as the Christmas pantOmime, and the rage
to see it makes it impossible TO accommo-
date more than tw0-thirds of the corners.
One Nail Drives Out Another.
What, asks the New York World, has
become OF the numerous stars of min
strelsy. who, only few years ago. af-
forded so much innocent amusement to
the theater-going public Of the day? Since
farce-comedy has taken such a strong and
apparently lasting hold upon the affections
OF the people the burnt-cork entertainers
have gradually lost ground, and to-day
minstrel show of the best class would fail to
attract half hUusefull of people. And
yet a dozen years ago "Billy" Birch and
Charley Backus drew crowded houses at
every performance in their Broadway-street
Theater, and there was good reason for the
applause which they received. Many OF the
most successful comedians in this form of
amusement are dead, but there are cons sid
cradle number of them still alive In the
prime Of life and eager to achieve further
success upon the stage. But the change in
the public taste has forced them out OF the
field Of their former successes and they have
naturally gone into the ranks of farce-com
edy actors. A certain proportion of the
amusement-seekers of every age demand a
form of entertainment whose only purpose
is TO amuse, and though the means by which
this result is obtained may vary at different
times, yet the requirements of this class of
| people are so apparent that those who cater

(2) Taxation, to be just and in accord
ance with the Constitution, should be
equal and uniform. We therefore demand
that our revenue system shall be regulated
in conformity to this plain dictate of JUS
tice and equally plain provision OF the
Constitution. Double taxation is obnox-
ious to sound principle, and the valuation
OF property should not determine the
emoluments Of its assessors. We pledge
our party to the reduction of the rate Of
taxation and the retrenchment of State
expenses rather than to exercise the pow
ers of government in searching out new
and unfounded sources of taxation upon
the people to meet extravagant expendi-
lures,
(3) Allpublic and quasi-public agencies
and corporations owe duties to the public,
and plain one is that they shall render
equal service and accommodations for
equal pay to all persons and sections alike,
