Is the DnnRer Point Passed.

Having settled the loan question for
try are already beginning TO think of
providing against any such troubles Is
have for long time oppressed the peo-
pie and depressed the business Of he
country. The New York Journal OF
Commerce leads on. IL the paragraphs
that paper brings good news indeed. 1t
says:
1.-The immediate danger point in the
financial situation Is now taken care
Of. The loan syndicate has made pro-
vision for the repair and maintenance
OF the Treasury gold reserve. and there
is every reason 10 expect that they Will
not retire from their work until adjust
ments have been made in the working ar
arrangements Of finance that win perma-
nentlf protect the Treasury against future
drains and give 1t a steady supply of
gold.'
II so be that the Treasury Is hereafter
10 be permanently protected against fu-
ture drains ana furnished with steady
supply OF gold" then We may proceed
to set in motion the wheels OF commerce,
confidently expecting that they will con-
tinue in motion until hard times shall
fee the country.
Our New York contemporary proceeds
70 forecast the near future-as follows:
1.-The gold reserve Will be raised TO
over $lO0,OOU0OO no further borrowing on
that account IL likely 10 be needed; the
foreign exchanges Will be 80 con-
trolled as TO prevent any material ex-
ports OF gold until affairs are put upon
q steady normal basis; and the relations
between the banks and the Treasury
Will be 80 far restored TO their former
condition as not only 10 prevent the &C
ton of either one from becoming en-
barrassing TO the other. but also 80 as
TO make them mutually supporting 10
each other
or course this forecast may not turn
out 10 be strictly accurate. But the In
dications are that the men who have the
will. and, like the British Jinzoes, ''the
money, too" are ready and willing &c
do all that the journal Of Commerce ex'
poets them--if they can. We quote
again:
1T IL not easy to overestimate the I'M

HAS HARRISON WITHDRAWN

The statement is going the rounds that
ex-President Harrison has decided to
withdrew from The race for the preslden-
tial nomination next year, and the reason
assigned is that he finds The Republicans
OF Pennsylvania and New York against
him, and thus deems the contest hopeless.
1t is stated THAT ne has made Governor
Mckinley his political iegatee.
There are no means Of ascertaining
whether this recltaa be true, unless Mr..
Harrison should see fit to enter formal
denial There is one fact In ft-thalt he is
not the first choice of the Republican Or
ganIzatlons In the two greatest states
in the Union. This is certainly a handi-
cap, but men have gone into conventions
and won the nomination, even with SIM
liar odds against them
Very few hsplraEts for presidential
nomination ever abandon the field until
some one else is put in nomination. The
prize seems In such cases too tempting
5o reianquish voluntarily.
