A good governor of New York
would be very apt to make 4 good
President. After Grover Cleveland
has proved himself to be a good Gov
ernor. there will be plenty Of time for
his enthusiastic admirers to push him
as a candidate for the Presidency. n
He was a most efficient Mayor Of
Buffalo. He can also congratulate
himself that, on every occasion since
his election when he has opened his
mouth to address, an audience. he has
shown q most admirable cOmpreher-
sion Of the principles Of Democratic
government.
But for all that, he is still but a
colt. He has gone comparatively
short distance in the race of life. He
is only a little more than forty years
Of age, and is still a bachelor.
When 1884 dawps. Gov. Cleveland
will be tried servant, an older man
than he Is now, and We hope he will
be married. He can then be brought
forward much more appropriately as
a candidate for the Presidency than
a; the present time. Do not hurry

Physicians, Fees.


Fifty years ago physicians in New
Bedford, Mass, were paid fee of 1-2
cents per visit. A few years later the
price rose to 25 cents a visit, including
free medicine. In 1880 an advance was
made to so cents, which brought forth
an outburst of indignation from the
people, and the medical fraternity were
Obliged to explain that II they received
pay from all Of their patients they might
be able to gain q livelihood, and some
thing besides, from their old prices. By
the time people became reconciled to
this advance another was made to 81,
and then again to 81, and in some cases
more. This is the history of the pro-
fession in nearly all of the Msssachn-
sets cities and towns, and Is said to &c
count for the favor with which patent
medicines are regarded there, people
preferring to doctor themselves rather
than to submit TO what they term ruin.
