New York's Governor Innuguratcd

new lorE'S Governor Innuguratcd,
Frank S. Black, OF Rensselaer, coun-
ty, was innNgHratel as governor of
the State Of New York, in Albany,
Friday: The ceremoay took place in
the assembly chamber of tho capitol,
and was witnessed By large IS en-
blage. An Invocation by Bishop W.
q. Doane, Of the Episcopal diocese, Of
Albany. opened the ceremonies. Gov.
Levi P. Morton delivered an address
OF considerable length, in the course
OF which he reviewed his administra-
ton, the first under the new constitu-
ton, and the Legislation during the
same period. Ia conclusion, address,
ing bis successor, Gov. Morton said:
VI may be permitted to congratulate
you upon your accession to the Office
OF governor, heartily, by reason of tho
fact that the financial and administra.
tive affairs of the State are in a pros.
porous aud easy condition; that you
will have the support of the legislature,
both houses OF which will accord with
the will of the people; that there are
IN prospect no bitter contentious nor
controversies; no serious difference on
public questions, to be fought oat
through your administration" Gov.
Black responded briefly, speaking of
feeling of deep responsibility with
which he assumed the duties Of the
office to which he had been chosen,
and pledging his best efforts to execute
them faithfully and impartiaIly.

Finances for the New Year.

The New York Financier OF Satur-
duy says: The irst bank statement OF
the new Year is of. very favorable
character, although it covers but five
business days and the increase proba-
Dig represents arrangements to meet
the large dividend disbursements which
will be made this week and which
aggregate in New York inclusive of
government payments nearly $780,
900, 900 for the month. The actual
gain reported by the hanks for the
week was only s214,O which is very
much less than for any week since
election. The increase in deposits
reflects in part the movement from the
interior which is setting in toward this
center again, despite the bank failures
in the West; but the increase is also
connected with dividend disbursements.
The absorption of this money is plainly
shown in the loan expansion, the total
loan items standing at $t91 1915, 800,
which is 5,795,O0 higher than
reported one year ago this week. The
deposit expansion in the Same time has
been $3.50, III, 900, and the cash reserve
is also sl3,50O, 900 higher, SO that the
banks began tho new year in much
better shape than they did in 1896.
The plethora of money has had the
effect OF lowering money rates and the
present quotations of 1902 per cent.
on call money compare with 4@5 per
cent. rate during January, 1896. Com
merclal paper quotations have dropped
to 4 and 5 per cent, as compared with
q and 8 per cent. for january, 1896
But the money! market one year ago
was in far different shape than at pres
eat, as trade balahces since that time
have. resulted in pilipg up large credit
bslance III our favor, which has relieved |
the market from, an absolute. collapse.

CHARLEsroN, Feb.l21, 1897.


There is not much to write about
at this time, because the Legisla-
ture did but little business on Sat
urday. A few unimportant bills
were passed, but of no special in
terest to your readers.
The Governor was highly incens-
ed at premature publication in
the Mail Saturday morning, of
what purported to be a veto of a
certain bill. The Governor sent a
special message to the House and
Senate during the day, denouncing
the publication, and denying that
he had given it out officially. The
Governor is bad man for Re-
publican newspaper TO fool with.
All the crude legislation in the
world does not take place in Amer
lea. All the crude legislation of
America does not take place in
West Virginia; but it is safe to say
that as much crude legislation gets
through in West Virginia as in any
State in the Union.
The Legislature has passed the
bills reorganizing the Penitentiary,
Asylum and University and Nor
NAL School Boards over the Gov
ernors veto, and now Gov. Akin
kinson will be enabled to fill the
vacancies In these boards with his
own partisan friends.
In the House the joint resolu-
ton relating to the appointment
of Trustees to collect and turn to
its channel the $500 heretofore
appropriated by the Legislature to
aid in erecting monument at
Point Pleasant, in commemoration
of the Indian battle at Point Pleas
ant, in October 1774, was passed.
It will go through the Senate
with alacrity.
A communication was received
from Hon. j. M. Rowan, State
Treasurer, transmit ing statement
of names and number of State
depositories, and the amount of
State funds in each, and showing
5anozfts in the banks of State
funds aggregating Sl,I32, 922.03.

That he, the most partisan of all
