STATESMAN OF NOTE.
Harcourt's Brilliant Record in Eng
Iish Political Life.

Harcourts Brilliant Record in Eng
lish Political Life.
Sir William Harcourt was born on
October IA. 1927. He was scion of the
noble house of Vernon and it was as
Vernon that he came into the world. In
his early childhood the earldom of Har-
court became extinct and his grand
father, the Most Rev. and Honorable
Edward Vernon, assumed the ancient
name. He studied at Trinity College
and graduated with high honor in 1851.
He was called to the bar at the Inner
Temple in 1854 and was appointed
Queens counsel in 1866.
In 1859 he was made professor of in
ternational law in the University OF
Cambridge. In November, 1873, he was
appointed Solicitor General, on which
occasion he was knighted, and held
the office until the resignation Of Glad
stones Cabinet the following February.
He made an unsuccessful stand for
seat in Parliament from Kirk -Caldy
burgs in 1858, but was returned to the
House of Commons for the city Of OK
ford in 1869.
He was Al years old when he entered
Parliament and he lost no time in let
ting himself be heard. In his maiden
speech he discussed a constitutional
question and drew a fiattering compli-
ment from Gladstone. Harcourt served
several times in the Ministry, Glad
stone retaining him as Home Secretary,
1SS0-S5; Chancellor of the Exchequer in
1SS6-S7 and 1925. In 1895 he was made
member of the royal commission an
pointed to inquire into the Jamison
raid.
After the retirement of Lord Rose
berry from politics Sir William Harcourt
was the recognized leader of the oppo-
sition. Though lacking the business
training of Goschen, his management
Of the finances of the British Govern
ment was brilliant. Brilliant also was
his leadership of the minority against
an overwhelming Conservative major
ity. But it was as an orator that he
ranked highest in English Parliament
ary annals. He was the last represent
ative Of the old school Of British states
men, which includes such names as
Peel, Gladstone, John Bright, Pelmer-
ston and Sir Stafford Northcote. After

BANKS REPORT
LOAN INCREASE
Expansion of More Than
Four Millions Leading Fea-
ture of Weekly Statement

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Financier
says: The official statement of the New
York Associated Banks this week
showed as the chief features the unex-
pected expansion in loans and reduc-
tiOn somewhat less than that estimated
in the traceable movements Of money
during the week. The decrease in sur
plus reserve carried this item to within
S10,375,OOO Of the lowest of the year,
which was recorded on Januaty 2, and
il made the reduction in the surplus
since August q $3S, ,699, 900. The loss of
cash in this interval was S36, 0S6 700, and
the expansion of loans was $43, ,976,799.
The cash decreased last week sc, ,659,-
100, or 1888, 100 less than that which
was estimated. The deposits decreased
/ 81, ,2S6, ,00O whereas the sum of the loss
! in cash less the increase in loans called
/ for a reduction of $2,13O000 in deposits.
The required reserve was diminished
! by 1921, 800, deducting which from the
] decrease in cash left $6,337 500 as the
reduction in surplus reserve to $19, 3d.
I 425. Computed upon the basis of de-
! posits, less those of $23, ,262, 400 public
! funds, the surplus was $25, ,729, OPS. The
/ loans were expanded by 4,529, 100, prob
/ ably the result Of corporation borrow
! ing and also the loaning Of funds tenn
porarily deposited with the banks in
anticipation of October disbursements
for dividends and interest.
The large loss of capital during the
week was principally due to transfers
! by interior public repositories of their
excess collections Of internal revenue

! their correspondents in this city. The
/ large excess in these revenue receipts
at this time appears to indicate in

Gladstone he was the greatest debater
of his day. AS a parliamentarian he
stood only next after Peel. Disraeli and
Gladstone. AS a speaker it was not
Gladstone whom he followed as a
model, but Disraeli, and with him he
was more often compared.
On leaving Cambridge Harcourt,
while studying law, drifted into news
paper work, which he kept up until his
entrance into Parliament. He was
among the earliest recruits of the Sat
urday Review, and as "Historicus"
wrote many notable articles for the
London Times.
According to one writer Harcourt
was one of the most cordially hated
Englishmen in America. That feeling
existed ever since 1860, when over the
pen name of "Historicus" he cOntribu-
ted to the London Times a series Of
letters on points Of international law
raised by the American Civil War
These articles were continued from

WELDED GREAT POWER.

The general opinion expressed in
the biographies appearing to-day is
that Sir William Vernon Harcourt
never quite got over the action of
Gladstone in selecting Lord Rosebery
instead of himself as his successor
and since Harcourt gave up the Lib
eral leadership in the House of Com
mons, after dispute with the younger
Premier, he had not taken open part
in the councils of the party, though
he remained a powerful inner influ-
ence, being as much feared as liked
personally.
The hospitality displayed by Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and his wife
to the latter's fellow countrymen and
the interest they took in all Ameri-
can questions have been proverbial in
England for many years.
