The Interests OF New York.

The Mayor to be CHOSEN by the half mil
lion or more electors of the Greater New
York on the first Tuesday of November
will be at the head of a municipality the
annual running expenses of which will ex-
coed $75, O,OOO, while the roster of it's
employees will be larger han that of the
United States Army. The term Of the
Mayor will be four years, extending until
Jan. /, 1902, or nine months beyond the
present term of WILLIAM MCKINLEY, the
President of the United States.
The powers of appointment and removal
besto wed upon the next Mayor during the
first six months of his term are summary
and sweeping. No municipal officer in the
history of the United States has been per
mitted to exercise such powers before. The
Mayor, too, will be influential in organic
ing the new city government for all time,
many of the details having been left by the
charter makers for determination and ad-
justment in the establishment and subdi.
vision of city departments.
The voters of the enlarged city will be
more in number than nave ever partici,
pated in any municipal election in the
United States, and they will be called upon
to elect a Mayor who, whatever differences
of opinion may ave divided them in the
past, will come before them upon an issue
practically new and all-important to q sue
cessful administration of city affairs.
After Jan. l, 1898, New York will have
more than ever before, the control of the
financial affairs of the whole country
Whatever question there may nave been OF
New York's supremacy in commercial
manufacturing, and productive interests
will exist no longer. The Greater New
York will be foremost in all branches o.
manufactures, as has been we'll illustrated
In the documents published by the Mer
chants Association. 1t will be clearl,
and permanently at he head of al
American cities. Long the largest among
American ports and In the collection o.
customs revenues, the and in
creasing concentration and consolidation o.
financial interests here, of the interests o.
railroad companies, banks, bond and trus'
companies, savings banks, benevolent anG
fraternal orders, and the life insuranc,
companies and other institutions, will pu
New York so far at the head that there will
be no possibility OF rivalry.
For the safeguarding and protection O
all these interests, and Of all those who ar,
represented in them, 1t is imperatiy,
that the man chosen as Mayor shall b,
che representative and candidate of q
political party of principles justifyinl

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUS-Sir: have no inten.
tion OF questioning the poetic genius of the bucolic
greengrocer whose threnody. entitled. mo Soul TO
Save was published in THE SuS Of yesterday, with
the %nattering commentary that he was u dangerous
rival 10 the lyrist immortAliZed by Mark Twain. He
may be: and for all l care he Ia. greater than all the
poets OF the Victorian era combined, but l anrm that
he. nevertheless. is q rascally plagiarist. and that Is a
charge that can never. never be levelled against Mr..
Cutter.
The opening lines OF the poem you commend so highly
are stolen bodily from the school readers OF some
thirty-nve years ago, where they Introduce q Dialogue
in verse between . mother and her child over the
grave OF . sister. the opening line being:
"'Tis here. my child, your sister lies"

Tia a fact
That he lacked

That tho worst

Chairman JONES cannot see that business Ia

Chairman JoNEs's speciality is the ability not
to see the things that are. In 1896 he could see
nothing but BRYAN's election, and ever since he
has seen nothing but " fraud" and coercion"

BRYAN's election. In seeing what isn't and
in not seeing what is, the Hon. JAMES X. JONES
is singularly gifted. There is nothing excess

out that business has been improving. He

The Citizens Union HyInnal.

The tremendous energy and emotion gen.
Grated by the solicitations of the canvass.
ers who are struggling, at a satisfactory
stipend, to convince the Hon. SETH Low Of
F%orty-ninth street and Morningside that
he is n unifying force, have burst into
triumphant song. A series of Low but
tons, adorned with metrical legends or
posies, has been published to a waiting
world, and the happiness Of the Citizens
Union runs over. To be sure, the Citizens
Union, ever modest, denies that 1t is the
maker Of these singing buttons, and it is
true that the literary gifts Of the Union
have been exercised chiefly in the field of
fiction. Yet there are renowned poets in
1t: DIR. GLIDER, for instance, and the pas
toral WILLIAM PorTs. Not to them, how-
ever, but to the general fund of inspiration
and enthusiasm expended, in connection
with other funds. by the Union in its
worship of its idol, are the Low buttons,
these very buds of poesy, to be attributed.
The whole passionate surrender, the abso-
lutte belief, the boundless devotion of the
Citizens Union are expressed in this but
ton distich:
From head to too
i III OF seth Law.
Political admiration could not be ex.
pressed more fervently. From read to toe,
and on these matchless feet. Now let us
take another button:
my vote
bestow
On honest
SETH Low"
This is beautiful. but proleptic. The poet
and the wearer of the button may have
bestowed their signatures on honest SETH
Low, but a good many persons do not vote
as they sign. Observe the force of the adj
~jective "honest." Do not regard this as a
mere epithrfon ornuns. In the mind of
the Citizens Union Mr.. Low is the only
honest man in the world.
In the next button poem you learn not
only who SETH Low is but what he is:
An know
SETH Low.
Corruptions
Foe"
Corruption has made a formidable enemy,
as it appears again in this terse quatrain:
"Corruption's Foe.
BY name SETH Low.
Will bury the Tiger
Under the snow"
Whatever political fortune or misfortune
is in store for the Citizens Union, its fame
is secure. 1t has blossomed into divine
song. 1t has produced hymns worthy OF
its candidate.
