As was predicted, the financial
situation at New York continued to
improve yesterday, and the day clos.
ed brighter and more promising
than any since the furry begun.
Money was easier, prices advanced
and the situation was generally re-
garded as more hopeful and favor
able. The news that come in from
all portions of the country shows
that the excitement was confined
almost altogether to Wall street,
and that outside of that financial
thoroughfare very little damage was
done. The effect of the present
furry will certainly cause bank
presidents, brokers, financiers and
others to be more careful in future,
will put an end to doubling up
speculations with bank funds, and
other financial advertisements that
have. lately crept into New York.
At the present rapid rate of prog
ress it is thought that New York
will be restored to it's normal finan'
oial condition. in a very few days
The prospects, are now that mum
her of the broken firms will be able
to resume business Nmes-Dem

IT IS said, most positively, that
Governor McLane, of this State, will
be offered cabinet position by Presi-
dent Cleveland. State, Interior or
Justice are the portfolios for which
the lightning may strike him.-Peo-
pte's Voice.
Governor McLane would gil either
position with dignity and honor, both
to himself and to his State; but it is
very questionable whether the Cover.
nor would accept a cabinet position,
to that of minister to England. He
has not intimated desire Tor these
positions, to any one, that we have

qualifications will no doubt press bis

The Lainburg RetSeW has started
q crusade against CASTLE soap, saying
that there is very little doubt that
even the very best brands of white
CASTLE soap are made from rancid
olive oil, which, being of too poor
quality for table use, is used for max
ing soap. The best imported CASTLE
soap costs the importers only from 10
to IL cents pound, all over that
paid by the public being profit to the
importer and retailer; and pure sweet
olive oil brings too much to enable it
to be made into CASTLE soap and sold
at any such price.

The NEW YORK health officials

had been analysed, the result show
ing that they had been colored with
rank poisons, including chrome yel-

of the firms thus missusing these
drugs were given DR.. Edison ex-
pressed the conviction that many Of
the ailments OF children could oe
traced to these poisons. 1t is said
the board determined to have The
guilty parties prosecuted. Three
tons of this colored candy were seized
and destroyed. We are happy to sag
that none of this poisonous candy
found its way into the confectionery
