The ApprecIation of Poe.

SilO fTSe EEcos. H-st
 We want to know the name of the nan who wrote the. appreciation of Edgar Allan Poe, which appeared In The Advertiser of the 3rd inst. We would like to be friends with any man the cratic genius, the flaming bril- liance. and tender sentiment which and who can look with tender eye upon the weakness which so beset the Americas literary firmament and sympathize with the dire poverty and suffering which were ever his lot. Poe could never have been pot boiler-he was a genius. an artist. a lover and philosopher. a man who dreamed roseate dreams that touch a responsive chord in the hearts of his readers. That he was poorly appre- ciated by those of his time furnishes an incentive to us to love him the more. Grandma. tell us who wrote that appreciation.

As regards the singularly interesting development of banking in Japan dur ing the last forty years, papers have been specially prepared by Marquis Katsura, premier and minister of finance; Baron Sakatani. ex-minister of finance; and Baron Takahashi. vice. governor of the Bank of Japan.
 At the same time. leading authorities have been engaged to discuss the or
 ganizatlon history and prevailing GUS
 toms of banking in other important countries. notably Sweden. Mexico.
 Russia, Austria Hungary. Holland and
 Belgium.
 With regard to the United tsates, an especially comprehensive group of
 volumes has been gotten under way.
 A series of reports and answers to inquiries has been collected by the
 Commission from nearly 2S,000 banks throughout the country, a far larger number than have ever reported here- tofore to any government investiga- ton, and these reports have been carefully summarized. At the same time the various clearing house as- sociations of the country, the leading financial journals, such as the Com
 mercial and Financial Chronicle. the state bank supervisors and many
 other individuals and institutions have contributed material to a volume of
 statistics, which includes figures covering every phase of modern Amer ican banking. Another voluminous and useful volume will contain all of
 the laws of the United States concern
 ing money. banking. and loans passed by Congress since the foundation of the Republic. Two other volumes will contain the first complete digest which has ever been made of the laws with regard to banking current in the various states. The historical and de-
 scriptive volumes dealing with the United States include a monograph upon the first bank of the United States. by Dr. J. T. Holdsworth, of the University of Pittsburg; a monograph
 upon the second bank of the United
 States. by Dr. Davis R. Dewey. profes- sor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: history of state banking before the civil war, by the same
