sfble to the suffering Of Cuba. Shall
this be allowed to go on forever? Shall
the burning Of plantations and the
trampling down of crops and the shoot

counters between two contestants,
neither Of which can entirely destroy
the other, continue without let or APP

We believe that, even in the eyes Of
the world, we are justified, as we ;are
commanded by considerations of hui
mainly and duty Of man to man, in
taking some active steps for putting in
end tc contest which has been con-
tinued long enough to demonstrate the
weakness of Spain, and whose future
contains nothing but an interminable
series of bloody, bootless reprisals. Let
the war in Cuba come to an end and
let the part of the United States in
that desired contamination be as prom
inent and as proud as N settling the
controversy between Venezuela and

TWO GREAT PARTIES.
With Wise Men in Each, Necessary
to Maintain Freedom

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The 18th anniver-
sary OF the evacuation of New York by the
British was celebrated by the New York
State society, Sons Of the Revolution at Del
monico's tonight. The principal speaker was
William B., Hornblower who responded to
the toast, American Common Sense" Dur
ing the response the speaker said: What
of the future? Suggestions made that
old party lines must be abandoned, and that
all men who in favor of sound currency
and of honest enforcement Of public and pri-
waite obligations and Of the maintenance of
law and order should become in one party
against the elements Of discomfort and dis
order and dishonesty. Such result would
be most unfortunate.
eff the day shall ever come when all sober
minded men are on one side and all eX-
ue1nists and revoluttonists the other side,
lined up in party alignments, the knell of
Republican institutions will have sounded.
Our form Of government cannot continue I'M
less there are two great parties who are
divided upon questions on which men of
sound judgment and honest principles can
fairly differ I believe that party lines will
be reformed. based on the same general lines
of division that have heretofore separated the
two great parties, and I believe that thus,
and thus only, can our institutions be pre-
served

the smallest technicality against q
pay rcll, or a claim Of any sort against
the city, he has not hesitated to compel
the claimant to go to any amount of
trouble. He has not hesftated at any
delay which would make all regular

ity of loss. In this instance, he. too,
az eagerly stepped aside from the plain
path Of his official duty. He knew that
this case was In the courts. He knew
that there was at least possibility, to
most minds a practical certainty, that
the law under which the commissioner
of public works was appointed would
be declared invalid He knew that any
payments of money made under that
law would, In such case, be as COM
pletely lost to the city as if he had I'M
locked the doors of his vault and pla
carded them with notice to the public

McCardy has audited these accounts

DEMONSTRATED FAILURE.

Not since the Instruction broke ont
In Cuba has the utter inability Of
Spain to deal with It been so publicly
demonstrated as by the last expedition
OF Gen. Weyler. He made the mistake
of proclaiming in advance what he in
tended to do. SpurredS to action, it is
believed, by remonstrances and threats
from Madrid, he took the field in per-
son, announcing that he was going to
make a campaign against the insur-
gents which would bring on decisive
engagement and clear them out of the
island. 1t was not hts first boast. nor
was it any better fulfilled than the
others. The famous troeha, about
which we have heard so much, has
been drawn across the island for
months past, and the revolutionists
pay about as much, attention to it as
they would to pencil mark upon the
map of Cuba. They go where they
please, do what they please and return
with little molestation. So VIEWERS
recent campaign amounted to about as
much as his familiar trocha. He set
out at the head of a force of men large
enough, probably to everbear any pa
trfot band that he might meet, and
after a short absence, he returned pre-
cipitately to Havana 1t is impossible
to ascertain any accurate reports Of
what happens in military engagements
In Cuba at this time But no man ever
proceeded as Weyler has done, who
went forth with big words in his
mouth and came back in such a. hurry
unless he was practically beaten and
making the speediest possible retreat.
OF course, the talk is renewed about
another expedition which shall accom-
plish what this failed to do, but the
demonstrated fact is that Gen. Weylar,
with all the enormous force at his
command, and a field Of operations so
only been unable to make Roadway,
but has actually lost ground. Gen.
Campos was able to make a movement
now and then, and to beat back the
patriot forces. Weyfer has either
been cooped. up in Havana during his
entire period Of command. or has ven
tured out of that province only to
turn tail and get back, to safety again
without delay. / "a

inability Of Spain to sreconquer Cuba,
and the futihty iandan1infamy of fur
Their military operations there. The
Cuban patriots may not be sufficient
in numbers to drive the Spanish forces
to their ships. Ito Keep out of the
island all the troops that Spain is able
to send there. They do appear to be
able to hold their own Indefinitely.
What this kind of-stubborn attack and

of one of the fatrest portions of the
world, and the complete destruction of
trade interests that are of Importance

Overtaxatfon of Ireland Discussed
by the Nationalist Leader.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25-John e. Red
mond, M. P. for Waterford City, Ire
land, arrived on the White Star liner
Ieutonic tonight. Mr.: Redmond has.
since he succeeded the late Charles
Stewart Parnen as leader Of the Irish
Nationalists, become prominent
figure in Irish and English politics. Mr.
Redmond in an interview said: my
present visit to America Is entirely
non-political in the sense that do not
intend to take advantage Of nv visit
to promote the interest of any political
party In Ireland. am here on a lecture
tour and will deal with political par
ties, for nobody can speak about the
British parliament without dealing in
politics. Irish controversial politics L
snail, however, eschew."
Mr. Redmond then referred to the
royal commission on the financial rela-
tons between England and Ireland. of
Which he Is member For the last
half century" he said, Representatives
OF Ireland have been insisting that Ire
land has been over-taXed. Two or three
parliamentary committees have re-
ported, but in vain. At last however
representative commission Of Eng
lish, Irish and Scotch members of all
political parties in the three countries
has investigated the subject in the
most exhaustive way. The commission
has unanimously reported that Ireland
has for the last forty years been over
taxed about SIS 1000. 900 year, Judged
by her relative capacity to bear taxa
ton with England. Certain members
OF the commission have believed that a.
certain proportion of this over-taxa-
ton was offset by the fact that the civil
and military administrations of Ire
land was very costly.
"A majority Of two-thirds Of the COM
mission has reported that, making full
allowance for every excessive eXDen-
dfture In Ireland, that country is still
overtaxed $12, 250, 600 a year This I re-
gard as the most important event In
the history Of Ireland since the union
ninety-sfx years ago.
eff the money that we have over-paid
be refunded to us, it will extinguish
taxation in Ireland altogether for an
indefinite time. Even if restriction be
left out of account and we get bare
justice for the future we ought to have
the latter sum each year hencef0rward
to enable Ireland to develop her in
duStrtal resources, and make her the
prosperous country she would have
been but for this fntolerable burden"

ISSUE OF PENSION BONDS.
Republicans Begin to Get Tired Of
Heavy Load.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-A scheme which
is Just now receiving considerable consider
alton at the hands of government officials
is one authorizing an issue Of popular loan
bonds for the payment Of pensions. The idea
is based upon the theory that the present
generation is bearing more than its share
Of the burdens of taxation resulting from the
civil war and that part of this load should
be shifted to the next generation. For some
years the item of pensions has exceeded
500. GEO 600. The proposition Is to pass gen
eral law authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury to borrow annually a sum equal
to the excess of pension charges over the
500, 900 mark. 1t Is the intention OF some
prominent Republicans to bring the matter
to the attention of congress early In the ap-
preaching session

anticipating future revenue, without
affecting in any way the total amount
of the appropriation, the Tribune says:
There is undoubtedly good business sense
