What have We done for Ireland?
Q English statesmen say.
What have We done for ireland
The year that's passed away?
Is she content with English ruler
That mild and gentle sway!"
What have ye done for Ireland?
Are all her sufferings past?
Have We Embossed her CALLING chains
And set her free at last?
Or do you with Draconic laws
And fotters bind her fast?
What have We done for Ireland?
Those seven hundred years?
Is she submissive to your sway?
Is she upheld by fears?
Or is she independent now,
AS Hungary appears.
What have We done for Ireland?
Have you not laid aside
The axe, the rope, and dungeon keep
AS blots upon your pride?
Have We not tried, as wise mon ought
To make her satisfied.
What have you done for Ireland,
Those sixty years and more?
1s she more happy with your law
| Than with her own before?
II not, did you. like honest men,
Her parliament restore?

The Capital a."

The use Of tho capital Il" is one Of
the oldest features Of the language
to a foreigner. II Frenchman writes
with reference to himself he makes
y" (the French equivalent Of "I")
with a small a. So with the Ger
man, who may use capitals to begin
every noun; he always uses the
small "i''' in writing "ich." The Span
lard avoids as far as possible the use
Of the personal pronoun when writing
it "yo,' taking pains, however, to be-
gin the Spanish equivalent for our
you" with a capital. In English it is
surely big az and little "you." as the
old saying has it.

weekly Clearing House Statement

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-The statement of
clearing house banks for the week shows tina
the banks hold $20,171, ,715 more than the re-
quired % per cent reserve rule. This is de-
crease of 81 95S. $50 in the proportionate cash
reserves compared with last week. Inc
statement follows:

The Financier will say: The principal fea-
ture of the statement Of the associated banks
for the week ending December b, taking the ac-
parison, was decrease of IS 002. 400 in loans,
decrease of $3.50. 500 in cash and decrease
of S2,SS9, 400 in deposits. The effect OF these
changes which were directly contrary to a
preliminary estimate, was decrease the sur
plus of the clearing house banks by S4,3oO, OO0,
making the present surplus reserve OF the clear
ing house institutions $40. 9.53072J, the lowest
reported since the banks began to recover early
in the year from the effects Of the 1907 crisis
1t is quite probable that the statement was af-
fected in all details by the adjustment or the
December l interest period. and IL is interesting
in this connection to note that the summary
Of state banks and trust companies in Greater
New York not reporting TO the New York clear
ing house SHOWS n remarkable increase for the
week of $50. .5S2. 500 in loans and increase
of SO, IT'S, 700 net deposits, while at the same
time cash holdings were expanded only about
$3.50, 600
The interior movement was very small The
clearing house banks at the present are only
slightly above the required legal reserve of -
per cent. the actual reserve on Saturday stand
ing at 26.03 cent.
