HOME MARKET CLUB BALKED.

Friends of the administration pre-
vented the Home Market Club from
adopting resolutions presented at its
annual banquet in Boston, vigorously
! opposing the annexation of the Philip
pines. These resolutions declared in
effect that very little commercial adj
vantage would accrue to the country
from annexation, while on the other
hand the political results and the tax
alton that would follow would be det-
rimental and burdensome to the peo-
pie.
The speakers who finally compelled
the withdrawal of the resolutions at
the suggestion OF the president, Coun-
cilor William B. Plunkett of Adams
made no effort to refute the arguments
against annexation. They contented
themselves with asserting that this was
matter with which the club ought not
to NEEDLE because it is outside of the
protective tariff; that the members
were not unanimous on the question;
that the club should not place itself in
antagonism to a republican president,
and that if annexation should prove to
be unavoidable, the club would have
to eat It's own words.
Eben w. Draper of Hopedale went SO
far as to deny that a majority of the
senate and house of representatives is
not going to favor the taking of the
Philippines.
The newspaper reports indicate that
Hon. Charles A. Stott, wooden manu-
fscturer of Lowell, a former president
of the club and former chairman OF
the republican state committee, was the
chief supporter of the resolutions
which were introduced by Mr.. o. H
Sampson of Boston. 1t was urged by
Maj. Stott, that it was proper to adopt
the resolutions, merely as an expression
of the sentiments of the club, especial
ly as President Mckinley is represent
ed to be desirous of learning the opin-
ions of the people. This argument
however, was ignored by the expan-
sionists, as the others had been.
Apparently the Diapers and Others
agree with Attorney General Griggs
that annexation has got beyond the
bounds of discussion, and all that re-
mains is to jam it through" At any
rate, these Home Marketers do not
propose to monkey with gun that may
turn out to be loaded. This is not the
spirit in which vital questions Of public
policy were wont to be settled in the
| United States.

The economy of the clearing house
system was illustrated yesterday when
the Bank Of the State of New York
brought to the clearing house schecks
upon other banks amounting to $15,-
647,5S3.S2, and other banks brought
checks upon it amounting to s15,647,-
40lS5. This resulted in business
amounting to $31 ,294 9S5,67 being trans
acted by the actual handling in cash of
only S1S1.97. the amount of the bank
credit balance.
1t was an excellent illustration of the
value of the system which makes it
possible for an enormous business to
be transacted with minimum of cash.
The exchanges of the clearing house
for the past forty-three years show
cash balances averaging less than .
per cent of the exchanges. 1t also illus
tf4ates the value to the business COM
munity of the banking system and the
use Of checks, as otherwise cash in bulk
would have TO pass. The exchanges of
the banks at the clearing house were
very heavy yesterday, amounting to
5000, 900, 900. On Tuesday they were
still heavier-$240, 100000 Their in
crease is reflection of the heavy bust
ness now being done in Wall street in
both bonds and stocks. The big eX-
changes of some of the banks in the
past few days have reminded old-tiln-
ers in the financial district of the era
of prosperity in 1881 and 1882.

FIFTH ANNUAL coNcERT.

The fifth annual promenade concert
and social of the Worcester Brass Band
In Mechanics Hall last evening was a
success in everything but numbers. The
unkind weather kept away the large
audience that has always hitherto at
tended these benefit performances, AID
hafdly more than 300 persons were
present for the concert which was
scheduled from 7.45 to 3 o'clock. but
was actually prolonged half an hour
later. Perhaps 150 young people sifted
IN N 1or the dancing, which lasted until
IL o'clock

Airs of all nations, with solos for

The band never played better in its
life. It's closing number was one of
the prettiest potpourris of old, familiar
airs that have ever been heard in Wor-
cester. Patriotic sentimental, religious,
they were alike given with admira-
ble taste and spirit. There We're two
encores. One fell to the lot of Mr..
Clement, and he responded with Il love

followed Mr.. Valva's solo, and was

DIR. DEPEW FoR THE SENATE.

The proposition to send Chauncey M.
Depew to the United States senate
seems to be growing in favor. The
genial doctor-of Jaws, we believe. and
he has well earned the title-should
receive something worth having at the
hands of the republican party, and if
his years of devotion to good govern
ment and good citizenship are to be re-
warded, the prize should be bestowed
without loss of time. No one will deny
that DR.. Depew would fill the office of
senator with credit to himself and to
the public. He has hosts Of friends
throughout the country who would be
glad to see him in a position where he
could occasionally address the whole
people. When the time comes for elect
ing a successor to Senator Murphy, it
may be found that DR.. Depew is not
the most available candidate, but there
is no doubt that his election would be
very popular. The Brooklyn Eagle,

Chauncey M. Depew and the senator

HAS GIVEN SECURITY.

(From the New York Tribune)
On every question which might threaten
the prospects Of business and industry for
some years to come the elections have
given complete security. There appears
nothing to hinder the continued improve
ment and increasing prosperity which the
state Of business faYors. In foreign mat
ters, also, the president has been so fully
sustained that he will be able TO act with
out hesitation, knowing that the patriot
ism OF the nation gives him full conf
dence and approval This fact alone
should sweep away much of the difficulty
which has hindered a settlement with
Spain and encouraged foreign powers to
consider the possibility of gaining some
thing by offering her encouragement One
days voting has thus yielded fruit which
will probably affect the future of the ma
fion, not only during some years of grow
ing prosperity, but for all time.

as it was affected by Reeds presence
in this city. Deputy Sheriff Scott is
already at work upon his statement Of
the affair, and as soon as completed it
will be sent to the prison commission.
The statements of Deputy Scott and
Court Officer Jenkins will prove inter-
esting reading before the prison COM
mittee, as it was these officers who re-
peatedly warned Abbott about his care
lessness in his handling of Reed the
first time that Reed was brought here,
and to whom officer Abbott made the
now famous remark, why Reed would
come here alone If they wanted him. -

ton, the Boston committee is energetic
in its project for forming an anti-ex.
pansion league that shall represent the
whole country. It may succeed in this
but there is little cause to suppose thai
is efforts will have any effect upor
congress or the administration. 1t is
very much to be doubted if 1t can even
persuade the Massachusetts legislature
to instruct Senator Hoar and Senator
Lodge to vote against annexation, and
if the committee cannot accomplish
anything at home, what can it expect
to do elsewhere?
Considerable opposition to annexation
is developing in the south, as is shown
by the utterances of the press but thai
section of the country is almost solidIy
democratic, and might be counted UP.
on to oppose the projects of a republi.
can president, anyhow. In the west, the
| annexation sentiment seems to have
taken firm hold upon the people
though for no well understood reason
1t is to that section of the country that
the administration seems to look fol
guidance in shaping its policy and il
was during his western tour that the
president became convinced of the pop
ularity of Imperialism.
In the east, particularly in New Eng
land, the opposition to territorial ex-
pansion is strongest and most influen-
tial. L is so strong, in fact, that il
might be deemed a serious menace tc
the party if a national election were
pending upon that issue. The north
or, at any rate, a large section of the
east, now finds itself in substantial ac-
cord with the south on a matter of far
reaching public policy. 1t is true, the
World is the only one of the New York
dailies that unequivocally opposes an
nexation, but in New England, on the
contrary, nearly all of the papers OF
standing and influence condemn the ex-
pansion craze, with persistency
and vigor. The Boston Journal, the
Providence Journal and Springfield
Union are the most prominent ones in
this neighborhood that have taken uI
the cudgels In its defense.
Common experience leads to the be-
lief that a canvass of the voters, par
ticularly the manufacturers and tax
payers. would show that the imperial
| lists are as few, if not as noisy. as the
imperialist newspapers in New Eng.
land. Yet there is no formal protes

is very Dutch, strong Bond district,

One girl brought her tifin in a piece
of newspaper on which was printed a
portrait of Mr.. Rhodes. The girls stuck
this UP on the wall and threw pellets
at it, There We're only two admirers
of him in the whole school, little and
a big girl. The big girl tore it down
and handed it to the little one, who
ran for her life (shes 14) with the pre-
cious greasy paper. When she found
the whole school after her, she tore it
up, and as they still pursued for the
pieces, she ate them. That night she
complained Of a pain, and you can inn
agine how astonished her aunt was
when, in answer to her anxiety, she
said: No. I don't think it's cold, L ex-
