HARRISON TOLEAD.

The recent delivery of President Fl AR
RlsoN to the party in the form of an in
teryiew with reporter of the New
York Tribune, who was introduced into
the inner chamber of the White house,
is accepted as the proclamation of his
candidacy for second term. The Trib-
une is BLAINE organ, and it saws in
connection with the publication that
the president will have the loyal sup
port OF Mr.. BLAINE as a member of his
cabinet, and that the secretary of state
Will not permit his name to be used IN
the coming contest" HARRISON stock
has appreciated in Republican quarters
OF late, and the drift is clearly in that
direction, especially where it is accepted
as definite conclusion that BLAINE is
not to be in the field. QUAY, FARwEIL.
and some other active leaders will OPP
pose, but that may be an advan-
tage to HARRISON. IL he has a
romantic theory that he is re-
former. he will have objects of differ
ent stamp to point to in opposition.
There is all intimation of leadership in
the assertion that sit is about time to
abolish the craftsmanship of the apollo
getics for the Republican party" Then
ne is able to discern ''strong reaction
IN favor of the Republican party He
outlines the Republican purposes, and
leaves no doubt as to the Moses who is
to lead the forces. The vindication of
his administration requires that he shall
be its candidate next year. AS his faith
in the promises is not probably very
largely shared by other leaders, they
will more readily consent to his nomi-

the aggregate rate over s per cent. But
there is no prohibition on the borrowers
hiring the seryiceskof anybody to assist
him in raising money on his property
and giving him such compensation as
may be contracted for. IL man wants
to borrow S1,000,000 on the security of
100000 worth Of real estate in st.
Paul, he can hire a man to go to New
York and undertake the task. He can
pay him a thousand dollars day,
too, if he cares to, and neither
party can be put in prison for The
crime. Mr.. DAVIS does not object to
this in his bill. and it would not make
any difference if he did. The money
brokers' business is a perfectly legiti-
mate one, and no legislature can pre-
vent his receiving the proper return for
his time and labor. But, If a man in
New York comes to st. Paul with
$1.000.000, which he tries to loan on
s2,0O0,0O0 worth of property, Mr.. DAVIS
says that he cannot exact his travelling
expenses and his employees wages from
the borrower, in addition to the maxi
mum rate of interest. This is very fool
lSh, Of course; but, at the same time. it
is quite & different thing from that
which is not forbidden.

BECOMING POPULAR.

The Democrats and other parties out
side of the Republican organization are
not likely to have monopoly of the
policy of electing senators by the peo
pie. In Ohio many Of the leading Re-
publican papers are talking favorabIy
OF the matter. a party controversy is
coming into view there in this connec-
ton between the friends of SHERMAN
and FORAKER. The latter has lost
none of his ambition on account of the
disaster TO which he led the party two
years ago. He would go to the senate,
but while SHERMAN is in the field if is
presumed that the Republican strength
in the legislature would be in his favor.
His frigidity does not prevent his hold
ing the first place when the decis =
ion is with the legislative pol
iticians. FORAKER takes with the
crowd that is stirred by hot speech and
radical partlsanship. 1t is stated that
he desires to go before the Republican
state convention OH this line. The
SHERMAN element cannot refuse TO ac-
cept the issue, but there have been III
timations that he Will retire from pub-
tic life at the end of his term. ANY
doubt as to his return would accelerate
this disposition. In New York and
Massachusetts, also. many of the leading
Republican papers are committing them
to this change, and little direct opposi-
ton to it is noted iii any quarter

NOT AS BAD as PAINTED,

The DAVIS usury bill is a bad bill,
and ought to be defeated. But it is not
half as bad as it is said to be- Mr..
STEVENS voiced the general feeling on
the question in MS speech in the senate,
when he called attention to the extreme
cruelty of enacting such law only
twelve hours before ST. Patrick's Day
IN the Morning. "St. Patrick's Day IN
the Morning." said he, ''is a great
American national holiday, the ami
yersary of all that is good and great in
our history. And yet, on its very
threshold, we pass bill which will
wreck our liberties and ruin our COM
monwealth." This may not have been
his exact language. but it fairly repre-
sents the idea which is quite prevalent
throughout the state. All this seems to
the GLOBE, which is as unfriendly to
the law as any one, to be somewhat ey-
aggerated.
We have very foolish usury sta tute
at present, passed by Republican votes
and approved by a Republican gov
ernor. 1t provides terrible penalties if
anybody shall get more than 10 per cent
for the use of his money. The DAVIS bill
IS another Republican measure. intro
duced by a Republican, and, if carried,
will be carried by Republican votes and
approved by Republican governor.
The only essential change which it
makes in the present ubiquitous law IS
to provide the same terrible penalties
if anybody shall get more than per
cent for the use of his money. One bill
is about as ipdefensible as the other.
Neither can be enforced. What this
legislature ought 10 do is to signaliZe its
career by removing all legal restrictions
on the contract price of money. This
is what will be done after awhile. But
the GLOBE does not believe that there
will be no more st. Patrick's DAYS
III the morning simply because this very
desirable reformation is postponed.
A large part OF the alarm about the
DAVIS bill comes from money brokers.
who think that their business is affected
by it. But it is not There is nothing
in the bill which torbids a borrower
from paying broker what he pleas es
for procuring him loan. The bill for
bids lender from eXaeting the charges
of his agent from the borrower in the
shape of commissions Which viii bring

THE INCOME TAN.

The Democrats and allied elements in
the Pennsylvania legislature are not
strong enough to accomplish anything
in the passage of measures not approved
by the peculiar interests that control
that state, but IN one of the branches of
the body they made an interesting
passage last week in the discussion of
what is called the grangers' tax bill.
One of the provisions was an income
tax. This was struck out by the major
ity In the face Of vehement opposition.
This was matter of course, and the
incident is only noted as indicating that
the farmers are taking that measure up
in the East as we'll as the West. 1t is
evidently to be one of the coming cues
tons. In Illinois the new senator agreed
with his farmer supporters in its advo-
