PRES. A'KINLEY At BOSTON
IT is THE HOME OF LIBERTY.
The President Greeted with Cheera-He
Made "A speech ina the LegisIature--A
Brief Review OF the administration
A Banquet in His Honor.

Boston, Feb. l7--President Mckinley
was enthusiastically received by a great
audience in the legislative hall lie said;
Gentlemen: ] am glad to be in this
ancient capitol. Here great public ques-
tons have had free discussion discussion.
Here great statesmen, whose names live ia
their countrys history, have received their
training and voiced the enlightened opin-
ions OF their own countrymen. Here,
through the century, you have chosen
your fellow citizens to represent you in
the councils OF the nation through that
great parliamentary body, the senate of
the United States.
You have chosen well, and leaders you
have never lacked. What Alustrious men
have thus borne the commission OF the
legislative body of the commonwealth of
ssachusetts-AdaIns, Pickering, and
Webster, Choate and Everett, Winthrop,
Sumner, Wilson, and long list beside
illustrious in the ANNALS OF your state
and nation. And those later statesmen
Hoar and Lodge, honored everywhere Tor
distinguished services to our common
county.
1T was in the Massachusetts house of
representatives that John H. Andrew
made a speech for human liberty which
touched the hearts OF his fellow citizens
and made him your great war governor.
Nor do / forget that at one time the
speakers chair of this Legislative body
was occupied by your former governor and
representative III congress, now the able
secretary of the navy, Hon. John d. Long,
whose great department has added lustre
to the American navy and glory to the
/ American name.
Il am glad to be on this historic ground
| It reviyes memories sacred in American
lie. 1t recalls the struggles of the fouu-
ers OF Massachusetts for liberty and in
dependence Their unselfsh sacrifices,
dauntless courage, are inspiration for all
lovers Of freedom everywhere; their lives
and characters reach into every American
home and have stimulated the best aspir-
atoms OF American manhood.
In the beginning of our national ex-
istence, and even before, this was the
home and fountain of liberty. 1t is the
home of liberty now and / am sure what
those men of the past secured Nor IA they
would have MS transmit not only to our
descendants, but to carry to oppressed
people whose interests and welfare, by for.
tunes OF war, are committed to us.
!! I'VE may regard the situation before II
az burden or as an opportunity, but
whether as one or the other, it is here
and conscience and civilization requires
as to meet it bravely. Desertion of duty
Is not an American habit. it was not the
custom of our fathers and win not be
the practice OF their sons"

The tInancier

New York, Feb. 20. The Financiel
says:
The dopsits OF the New York clearing
house banks, according to their statement
of February Is are within small per
eentage of $900,0000O0. Their cash re
serve is $25S, 666, 900, the heaviest accumu
lation of funds ever reported by thest
institutions In fact, the cash balance OF
the United States treasury, including the
500, 100000 gold reserve, is only about
$l4,OO0,0O0 above this figure. Considered
as reserve it constitutes 1886 per cent
of the enormous deposit total, or $34,-
373,S25 more than the Is per cent which
ID arbitrarily held against deposit habili'
ties.
This is almost $lO,OOO,000 in excess OF the
idle cash reported for the same week last
year, and reveals the remoteness under
normal conditions of any probability that
money may go to an unusual figure, oW-
ing to the activity OF exchange transac'
tions and the sums required IN the tinanc
ing of new trusts.
The banks. to tell the truth, are ex-
hIbiting a degree OF strength IN the face
Of present demands upon them that Is
little short of marvellous. Within the past
week. despite the increase OF 50, ll3,lOO IN
deposits, necessitating enlarged reserve re
auirements of over S2,250,0OO, their sur
plus reserve decreased only little over
81 100000 The gain in cash was due to
deposit additions. Specie receipts were S3,
634 900, mostly from the Pacific, and the
losses of legal tenders were about $500,
600 This shrinkage was due to ship
ments to interior institutions. But that
the demand forecasts a continued loss /,
uncertain, as the interior banks are re
markedly strong in reserves and will prob
ably be able to supply their own need'
without calling on balances here.
The loan expansion OF $8,567 200, ludg
ing from known conditions ought to bt
traced to stock exchange sources, espec
tally with reference to securities returned
from abroad. But closer analysis OF tht
system indicates that special operations
involving two or three banks at the most
have brought about the increases and de
ereases. Thus the deposits of one insti
tuition have been swelled above 81 900
while its loans are at least $5,000,00t
heavier.

crier was an important parsonage. lie

lection generally carried with it oflie, s
OF beadle, Verger and gravedigger, and
his emoluments were fairly remunera-
tive. Day after day he was seen, either
in the town or surrounding villages,
dressed as a parish beadle, aud carrying
bell, which, after ringing twice or
three times, he began:
"Oh, yez. This is to give public nc
tice that Muster Gearge. will sell by

Knowing the gOings on and little town
scandals, he was welcome guest ey-
erywhere when on his rounds, and there
was no local public function, church,
chapel, election or any other meeting
but what he had finger in.
When the newspaper stamp duty was
abolished, and the local press sprang
into existence in all directions, the town
crier was gradually elbowed cut until
he became practically extinct.
In one place, however. the town crier
in all his glory is yet in evidence, and
that is in the pretty town of Bedford,
