The Balance of Power in New York.

: IN II IFouIuk IV1lsT
1t has been demonstrated anew that the bal
snce of power in New York ia held by the In.
dependent voters, and that their support of
Cleveland last year was merely temporary
alliance with the Democrats, entered into for
the accomplishment Of a specific purpose.
When yesterdays full vote is received it will
probably be seen that the total is much smaller
than it was last year, showing that while
some Of the independents cast their votes for
the Republican candidates, q much larger
number Of them did not vote at all. For the
Presidential contest the independent vote Is
absolutely free OF both parties, and while the
bulk of 1t is unquestonably inclined at pros
ent in favor OF the Republicans, neither of
the great parties can count upon it surely next
year except by putting in the field such candi-
dates avowing such principles as will meet
independent demands.

Proposed Repeal of the Tax on Rank

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Itis the impression

tax on bank circulation, as at least one practi-
cal measure to prevent the evils of contraction
which must follow from continued calls of the
three per cents. Should this be done it is
thought the banks can continue to use the
higher priced bonds as basis for their secu-
rity.

The woman was old, and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill Of the winters day;
The street was wet with the winters snow
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone. uncared for. amid a throng
Ofhuman beings, who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance Of her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout.
Glad In the freedom Of school let out,
Came the boys like flock Of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep
Past the woman 20 old and gray,
FASTENED the children on their way,
Nor offered a helping hand to her,
SO meek, so timid, afraid TO stir,
Lest the carriage wheel or horses feet
Should crowd her down In the slippery street
At last came one Of the merry troop
The gayest laddie OF all the group,
He paused beside her, and whispered low:
"ill help you across II you wish to gO."
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that hts own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and we'll content
She somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's old, and poor, and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
10 help my mother. you understand,
III ever she's old and poor, and gray,
When her own dear boy IL far away"
And ''somebody's mother bowed low her
head
In her home that night, and the prayer she
said
Was: "fOd be kind to the noble boy
Who is somebody's son, and pride and Joy"
