Tho Pharisee in Harlem.

Perhaps the most curious exhibition of
that p~retense Of moral superiority which is
a chief trait of the oligarchy of prigs which
calls itself the Citizens Union, was made in
Harlem Monday night. There was a "mass
meeting" consisting Of two hundred per-
sons of the Christian Citizenship Commit
tee. Mr.. r. FULTON CUTTING, Chairman of
the Citizens Union, held this language:
1.-THE Citizens Union Is organized to keep alive the
conscience OF the community. It is designed to show
whether the people have got common sense enough
TO take the Government into their own control. The
national parties haven't anything to do with tho
management OF local politics or Affairs. Honest men
have no chance 70 assert their choice In tho primaries
Of either party. and consequently ths oitiEsnS' Union

that "THR NEW York Sun has been

cious abuse which the New York correspond

Tho National Review on Our Duty
Toward Cuba.

In tho June number Of the London Ma
tional Revielo, which, as we have often
pointed out, represents more faithfully
than any other English periodical the
views Of the present Conservative Govern
ment, the editor again discusses at some
length the Cuban question in the article
entitled Episodes Of the Month" This
he does, not because the present deplorable
condition of Cubs or the future disposition
of the island materially affects any British
interest; but in the nam of humanity,
civilization, and decency he protests
against the further federation by the United
States of the inhuman methods Of warfare
practised by WEYLER, not only with the
connivance but with the defiant approval
of the Madrid authorities. He holds that
1t is for the United States alone to inter.
pose, since they have repeatedly warned
European Governments not to NEEDLE with
the Queen of the Antilles.
The National Revie,o Is alive to the sim
certify and fervor of the agitation In this
country for the deliverance of Cuba. 1t is
compared for depth and intensity to the
Armenian agitation which convulsed Eng
land last autumn, and is pronounced inf

Greek passion to liberate Crete. The
fact is noted that Cuba is the same dis
lance from Florida that Ireland is from
Wales, or that Crete is from Greece. Tho
review recalls with indignation that when
conscientious Americans AJAX, "How are
we discharging the responsibilities which
we assumed when we bade Europe hold
alooff" they have been told "You mustn't
speak too loud. or Your Consuls in Cuba will
be assa~ssinated." Such ar answer would
certainly not ave the effect of pacifying
E~nglishmen under similar circumstances
To this British observer, who has been
Mt great pains to acquaint himself with the
facts, 1t seems clear that, even II q mira
Gle happened, and Spain at the eleventh
hour triumphed over tho iDsurrection, the
island would be irretrievably ruined. 1t is
pointed out that Cubs would be saddled
with a debt, the interest on which would
be $500 600 per annum, and with an
army of occupation numbering, at least,
100000 men. which, even under honest
administration, would cost 1915, 600, 900
annually In fine, with other expenses, the
total budget of the island would be over
100000 900, for Cuba can expect no as.
slstance from the mother country, which will
have to repudiate her own obligations in
any case. How would 1t be possible for
the island to sustain such a burden, see
ing that 1t has never been able under
the most favorable conditions to pro-
duce more than $3O,OOO 900 a year In
taxes, and the war has utterly destroyed its
resourcesi As for the now reiterated
promise of reforms, this is recognized by
the National Revieio. no less than by all
Intelligent Americans, as a mere ruse ; the

big guns upon them. Then fell their stronghold

leader cut for the woods; then their fanaticism
was reduced. They fought like Turks, but they

ALEXANDRIA, VA, April 7.-Early
this morning Clem Dorsey, a well
known colored resident of the First
Ward, assaulted his wife with an axe,
inflicting. wounds which may prove
very serious, if not fatal. The woman
is terribly cut and bruised about the
head, and lies in an unconscious con-
ditioa. After his savage attack upon
his wife. and supposing that he had
killed her. Dorsey proceeded to an alley
across the street from his home, wher6
he nearly severed his head from his
body by repeated gashes from razor.
He was discovered few moments later
in a pool of blood, and died before eff
forts were made to remove him. The
couple had been on bad terms for some
time, and the attempted murder and
the suicide are supposed to be the out
come of a violent quarrel. Jealousy
on the part of the husband is said to
be the cause of the trouble. Dorsey
has always borne a good reputation
here, and well-thought Of At one
time he held q position under the gov
ernment in Washington. and after
wards was employed at the Exchange

Republican Defeat Due to DisappOintment 1T
The Democratic leaders in Virginia
are greatly rejoiced over the sweeping
victories won by the party in the re-
cent elections in the big cities OF the
Middle West. The defeat of the Re-
publicans is generally attributed to
disappointment in the realization of
the better times promised by the Nc
Kinley people in the last campaign.
State Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson, dis
cussing the western elections yester-
day, said: 1.-The masses in those cities
that have repudiated Republican gov
ernment had been led to believe that
prosperity would follow fast in the
wake of Republican victory. They had
given the victory with sanguine expec-
tations. and these expectations had not
been realized. Their condition, instead
of having been benefited. had grown
even worse after the election, and they
are now giving voice to their disap-
proval.
II believe" said Mr.. Ellyson, "that
unless Congress does something for the
country, and does it quickly that De
mocracy will regain possession by an
overwhelming majority next year"

The Democrats view the elections
with considerable pleasure. while
am not at all disposed to attach too
much Importance to purely local elec-
tions," said Senator Jones, the Demo
cratic national chairman, II do be-
lieve that the result in OHIO is largely
due to the dissatisfaction with the Ma
tionaf and State Government Of the
Republican party. Their is no doubt
in my mind, either, that the cause of
bimetallism has made tremendous
strides since last November, and I be-
lieve that more has been accomplished
for our cause by the very logic of events
than was done by all the campaign
methods. In Ohio, the result against
home rule is a very gratiis ing thing to

ones, among them three livery stables,
were destroyed. A number of people
were injured by jumping from win

The coming of the Illinois Central

vile Railway to Norfolk is Low believ-
ed to be reasonably assured. It is not
known over what route they will enter,
but although neither road may build
it's own tracks into Norfolk, they will
own their terminals. Options of some
$3.50. 900 have been secured on water
property on the Western Branch, and
it is the opinion of real estate men that
the deal is being negotiated in the in
terest of these lines. In view of the
recent formation of a Norfolk and

TENS will have to use Norfolk as a deep
