ton for women are feeling tride uncomfortable.
DR.. Buchanan, speaking at Glasgow University the
other day while still maintaining that the en-
trance OF women into the profession was viola
ton Of the laws of political economy, admitted
that IL was desirable to train them " for Zenana
practice" But people will ask, il women may be
NJ. DIS in Bombay, why not in Glasgow? And
they will notice that the old argument that
women are not physically able to bear the strain
of medical training and practice, has been quite
abandoned by Dr. Buchanan and his colleagues,
as we'll as the plea of mental incapacity, which
is abundantly refuted by the statistics quoted
above.
The Hon. Tim" Campbell has been admitted to
practice at the bar of the Supreme Court of the
United States The Court is not what ii was to
be sure but this will be a severe blow TO 1t.
1t is unnecessary to say that Tins first appear
ance before the Court in his new capacity will
be little short Of sensational But think Of his
client.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward will see the propriety Of
apologizing for writing Robert Elsmere' and OF
promising never to do so again. How can it be
otherwise, seeing that Dr. william Everett writes
to " The Boston Transcript that he has not read,
and probably shall not read,' Robert Elsmerc.'
And probably shall mott verify, it looks
though the good Doctors temper had not been
improved by the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland
Renewed agitation in favor Of the payment Of
salaries to members of the British House of Com
mons calls attention to the fact that Great
Britain stands almost alone in requiring her legis
lators to serve for nothing and pay their own
expenses, thus practically excluding poor men
from the popular branch of the Government
Spain has exactly the same system. Italy pays
salaries. but lets her Deputies ride free on
all railroads. Every other country with an
elective Parliament pays salaries to the members
thereof. France pays $1,000 year Prussia
pays So day, and by law compes the acceptance
of it. Republics are more liberal. Mexico
pays go, 900, and the Argentine Republic $4,000.
The salaries of United States Congressman are
probably the largest in the world. With the
great advance made by democracy in England
IN recent years, the demand has increased for
salaried system under which other than rich or
subsidized men can afford to enter Parliament,
ard it will not be surprising if such change
is made ere long
The who has brought suit to assert his
right to wear hat in box in theatre must
be sort of human mosquito. He should be ex-
terminated.
Very few candidates get as much glory ont Of
being elected as Warner Miller has out of being
defeated Ever since election day he has been
the recipient of a series of ovations until OBJ
server, who was not familiar with the situation,
might suppose that it was Mr. Miller who had been
successful at the polls, and not Governor Hill
The most noteworthy of the demonstrations will
be the reception Of the Union League Club in his
IN
mind US that it is better to be beaten with prin-
ciple than to win without any.

as Grover Cleveland was killed and chewed up by his
associates The deceaso Of this particular hound un
worthy Of notlce.-CThc Rochester Union
The appearance Of this paragraph in Z" The
Union" must be regarded as merely palpable
oversight. For certainly SO true-blue Demo-
cratic journal and so devoted a friend Of David |
b. Hill cannot in common fairness be supposed to |
hold that Cleveland, the Presidential candidate
however it may have been with Cleveland the |
hound-was " killed and chewed up by his asso-
GATES" If the appearance of the item in The |
Union" was not unintentional, then that paper |
owes it to the cause of justice to be more specific.
Which one of his associates killed Cleveland, |
tne HfcSlUentlhl Is Nlr Hill suspected
And by which one was he subjected to the ndig-
nifty Of being chewed up" Does the crcum-
stantial evidence point to-but we will not hazard |
a guess Let THE Union" explain the u" phe-
General Sherman is not in favor Of annexation. |
" We have enough poor land already he says. A
good many people are OF the same opinion. At
all events, we have so much land already that
we need to be very careful in buying any more
A. A. Hopkins, in letter to "The Rochester
claims that the tlrd-party Prohi-
bitionists have elected their issue' This is
about clear would be the assertion that the
third-party folks had elected the binomia theo-
rem or Bunker Hill monument However, con-
'idering how badly Mr.. Hopkins and his friends
got left the first Tuesday in November, no gener-
ous heart will wish to deprive them of the comfort
Il it be a comfort of contendng that they elected
heir issues
The intelligent foreigner is always inter-
.sting. He turns up now in the Office of The
Christian World" This is one Of the most widely
circulated of the religious journals of England,
md still it remarks in editorial article on The
American Presidency that the thirty-six elect
)rs Of New-York, on many of whom President
cleveland counted, voted for General Harrison,
. On many of whom" is particularly good. The
intelligent foreigner seems TO have positive genius
or msinformation about American politics.
