Fair Trade. Not Free Trade.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem)
The Republicans of Maine style President
Cleveland's message "a free trade manifesto,
when it is only suggestion for fairer trade and
a reduction of the war .taxas, unnecessary in
time of peace. Anything in the way OF re-
duction Of taxation beneficial to the masses Is,
in Republican logic, free trade"

Unfavorable accounts of Mr.. Cleveland's
health are beginning to appear in some of
the newspapers-Republican newspapers,
of course. A gentleman is represented as
saying that there has been a startling
change in his appearance since he went to
the White House. He has gained consider
ably in flesh, takes no exercise, and is liable
at any time to be stricken down. Fortu-
nately. a good many people have seen Mr..
Cleveland in the last few months, and they
know from his appearance that his health
is excellent. The Republicans had better
settle the question of Mr.. Blaine's health
before they begin to discuss that of Mr..
Cleveland's

The bill which DR.. Simmons has rendered
against the Tilden estate for medical serv-

out of all proportion, but the doctor is
going to itemize it, and he has no doubt
every cent of it will be allowed. 1t amounts
to $3.50 For eight years Dr. Simmons
had been Mr.. Tilden's physician, and dur
ing that time he was in very frequent at
tendance upon him. No doubt, much of
his time was taken up in trying to prolong
the life of the Sage of Grammacy yet
$751; 900 year for medical services is pretty
steep, and if Mr.. Tilden took all the med
icine that must DO mentioned in the bill,
the wonder is that he did not die within the
first SIX months.

Ex-Policeman Rickerd, of New York,
who was transported to Sing Sing, the other
day, twelve hours after he had robbed a
store, has not had time to realize his
changed surroundings, but he tells reporter
the story of his wrong-doing. He says the
primary cause of his theft was that he had
been for several years gambler, and hay
ing lost considerable money, was hard
pushed at the time. If the mercantile firm,
however, had been more careful to keep its
basement door locked, he would have kept
out of mischief. AS it was, he knew the
door had not been locked in a month, and
while it is policeman's duty to protect un-
guarded basement doors, the temptation to
steal was too great for him to resist in his
cramped condition. Doubtless if Rickerd
had obtained money without being detected,
he would have lost it at gambling. The
penitentiary Is the proper place for him.
