The Boston Herald congratulates
Grover Cleveland upon saving his party
from the evils OF free coinage crusade,
We are Inclined to think that the
Herald's love for the Stuffed Prophet
has led Ii to be Just tritle premature.
Iu the last Congress the Democratic
party presented pretty solid front for
free silver coinage. II its Eastern mem
bers were opposed to that fsllscy they
utterly failed TO let the public know it,
Indeed they seemed as subservient to
southern sentiment ~ they ever were at
any period In the history Of the party.
There Is every reason to believe that the
Democrats in the next Congress will line
up as party In support Of free coinage
with even more enthusiasm than they
displayed in the last, since they viii
have the endorsement Of nearly sill the
Democratic state conventions held in
the interim.

President Harrison has wisely deter

Congress before acting upon applications
for removal of charges OF desertion by

cal grounds without real guilt 1t is only
such cases that should be allowed par

Gold Imports are steadily improving
the position OF the New ork banks, but
the treasury has begun to lose gold and
greenbaeks and accumulate nted States
notes. This Is without doubt due to a
cessation OF the movement westward or

imports, which increase the specie and
dislodge currency in the New York
banks. The revenue continues to shrink,
