Mr. Writ. of Cecil county. intro
tluced bill in the House OF Delegates
on Wednesday to change the law with
reference to the admission of attornevs
to practice law in Maryland. The bill
was prepared by the committee on le-
gal education of the Maryland Bar As
ISOLATION. and is also in line with the
suggestions OF the American Bar As
ISOLATION. The bill aims to raise the
standard of admission to the bar and
make the requirements uniform
throughout the State. Its main fta-
ture is the vcsting exclusively in the
Court of Appeals the power to admit
to practice. 1t provides for State
board of law examiners, to consist of
three members of the bar of ut least
ten years standing, to be appointed by
the Court of Appeals. The expenses
of the board, including the compensa-
ton of the members. shall be paid out
of the fees received from applicants for
admission. Mr. c. C. Maeruder. of
this town. is member of the commit
tee of tie Maryland Bar Association
on legal education.

While the election of Judge Nc
Comas tC the United States Senator
ship may be very .distasteful TO many
Democrats vet it must be acknowledged
that in point of ability and character
he is a type Of the best citizenship of
the State. 1t is not probable that he
will attain to the degree OF national
prominence and influence, enjoyed by
the distinguished Senator whom he
will succeed but it is safe to believe
that, in the Senate, Judge McComas
will reflect honor upon his State and be
respected and esteemed 10y his col
leagues.

TIL; SEN-ATOR-ELECT.

Louis Emory McComas was born in
Washin gton county on October 2Sth, 1917
He was educated in the schools at Will
Transport, at st. James College, Hagers-
town, and at Dickinson College, from
which he graduated in 1866
He studied law under the Hon. II. ii
Alvey row Chief Justice of the Court of
Apps - of the District of Columbia, and
in 1868 was admitted to the bar of Wash
ington county,
Since 1876, when, at the age of %, he
was the Republican candidate for the
Forty-tifth Congress in the Sixth district,
Mr.. McComaS has been prominently iden-
tilted with the politics of the State. In
that campaign he was defeated by the
small majority of II votes by the Hon.
William Walsh of Allegany county.
In his next campaign, for the Forty
eighth Congress. Mr.. McComas. again
the Republican candidate, defeated Mont
gomery Blair, then one of the ablcst and
most experienced Democratic leaders of
the State, by majority of about 700. lust
twice the majority, it is said, which Mr.
Blair had confidently predicted for him.
self. Having once established himself in
Congress, Mr.. McComas became popular
with his contemporaries and his cunsttu-
cnts; diStin gui,hcd himself for thorough
good sense. good taste, industry and eff
cheney in his relations with his fellow
members.
For four successive campaigns Mr. Nc
COmas fought successfully retaining his
seat in the House of Representatives from
1882 to 1890, though it was hardly contest
ed for by such Democrats as Mont gomerv
Blair, Frederick J. Nelson, L. Victor
Baughman and Henry Kyd Douglas The
last contest, in 1890, like the first, in 1876
brought defeat. The passage of the Nc
kinley tariff and the agitation of the force
bill were the forces which in that year
rejected Democratic landslide, beneath
which Mr.. NcComas, with no lack of com
pany, was for the time being buried
General William McMahon Mckaig was
elected to his seat
Mr.. McComas, however, still stood high
i'll the counsels Of his party. \ significant
evidence Of that was his being selected
secretary of the National Republican Com
mittee two years after his defeat, in the
Presidential campaign Of 1899, in which
capacity he proved cminently efficient.
On the bench of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia-t which he was
appointed, by President Harrison, shortly
after the election Of 1S92-Mr McComas
has won universal commentator for his
uprightness, ability and conscientious
care. Politically, to-day, Mr. McComas
not only has the backing of an extensive
and ardent constituency but he was the
choice of the Administration for the Mary
land Senatorshlp. Socially, he has wide
and influential acquaintance and i thor
cughlv liked and admncd

pany:
On Board Transport City Of
Para, Manila, Philippine Islands,
Aug. 2, 1S98.-Dear Friend: I write TO
let you know that we arrived here all
right. The climate is very warm. and
rain falls most all Of the time. There
are some very fine battleships in Dew
ey's feet. There are other battleships
here from England, Germany, France,
Russia, China and Japan. The Span
iards and the Americans are fighting
every night, and we can sit Oil deck
and watch the fash Of the cannon all
night. We expect to land tomorrow,
and then we will have a hot time OF
1t, as we will have to wade ashore in
about four feet Of water, for about a
quarter Of a mile, and where we are
going to camp the mud is four feet
deep, so I am told I don't see any
fun in the prospect, do you?
Won't 1t be glorious, old man, to see
Old Glory floating over Manila, and I
should like to be the one to run the
flag up. The Thirteenth regiment is
going to do outpost duty, the worst
kind, as we go in advance Of the rest.
We are waiting for the Monterey, so
the city can be bOmbarded. This will
be done some time next week. We
will have to check the insurgents, as
they want the city. Keep out Of the
army, Herman, I have had enough Of
it, but things may be different when
we get into action, but it is tough to be
penned up on boat for six weeks on
tropical sea, without any exercise.
will close now, but will write to you
after our first fight and tell you how
many Spaniards I kill.

are now entering the bay Of Manila.
There is an island on our left from
which was fired the first shot. We have
just passed a small sailing boat, the
first seen in tWenty-One days.
The transport Morgan City is 50 slow
that we have had to wait an hour or
two every day for her to catch up to
us, and we running only at about half
speed. We. have now arrived at Ca
vite and can see Manila right across
the bay. We have seen the wrecks of
several Spanish ships sunk by Dewey
at the great battle Of Manila. We are
now at anchor in the harbor of Cavlte,
protected by Dewey's fleet. There are
many transports Of other expeditions
on the bay, United States battleships,
ETC., etc.
We have just received news from
shore that the American army is
n 2rching on Manila, and that the ad-
vance guard is only about one mile
from the city. 1t is said that Gen.
Merritt will now advance with the en-
tire army and take that city and
stronghold by force.
We are just aching to get ashore and
get right into the middle of the fight;
and I, for one want to get whack at
those Spaniards after coming almost
5000 miles. We at least want to get
shot at them. We expect to go ashore
today. But talk about water here!
Why, it comes from above, 1T Is in
front, behind, on both sides and below.
We have all been supplied with forty
rounds of ammunition today, and that
means something. Besides all ammu-
milton has been removed from the hold
and piled UP in the dining room. Camp
utensils are being removed. So guess
we will have the pleasure Of shooting
few Spaniards before thirty-siX
hours. You will not hear again from
me until Manila and the Philippine ISL
ands are captured.

HAD A MOCK TRIAL.
One of the Bright Incidents of the
Long, Tedious Trip.
written for The Globe.)

(WTlLIen lot Inc GlODe.)
Perhaps the most amusing entertain
ment of the trip to Manila was fur
nished by Company D on the evening
of Aug. 2, while lying in the harbor
anxiously awaiting orders to land. The
affair took place in the main saloon,
and consisted Of jury trial, complete
In every particular. The desire for
equal representation in the distribu-
ton Of food has by this time so thor
oughly become part Of the compost
ton Of the boys that an arrangement
for the offense Immediately suggested
the idea of grub, and no difficulty was
experienced in finding a man who late
ly had a biscuit stolen from him. The
crime was at once fastened upon
Charles OdeN, by reason Of his some
what abnormal appetite. Court was
opened at 7:13. Company d, the prose-
cutor, was represented by c.. w. Ney,
an attorney we'll known in st. Paul.
The defendant was represented by G..
A. O'Reilly, also a ST. Paul attorney,
Counsel for the plaintiff was assisted
by Martin Few, late Of the law de-
partment of the University Of Mime
sofa, and for the defendant by Pey-
son Colwell, also of the University Of
Minnesota.
az The chair was very ably filed by
Judge Kelley, of Company D. After
the usual scrapping a jury consisting
OF thirteen men was impaneled and
the trial commenced. The plaintiff
showed by an unbroken chain of evil
dence that O'Dell stole the biscuit. The
defendant then, by an equally strong
chain Of evidence, proved habitual
drunkenness on the part of one of the
plaintiffs witnesses; insanity on the
part Of another and criminal intent on
the part Of a third. In this condition
the case was sent to the jury, after
brilliant addresses delivered by Attor-
neys Ney and O'Reilly.
The jury returned a verdict Of gull
ty, but recommended mercy on the
ground that a man capable Of stealing
a biscuit from William Perrine was too
valuable to spend his time in prison.
The sentence of the court, very SOL
emily delivered, was that OdeI be
obliged to battle three times each day,
and in addition eat the biscuit, which
portion Of the sentence had already
been ably performed by the defend
ants attorney.

It is a humiliating state of things, but
in the light of recent events there is no get
ting away from the fact that the Sixth dis
trict Republican committee hopelessly
disguised with Page Morris
His high-soundng words In Washington
and his funking in the face OF fight in Min
nesota is a positive proof Of what the st.
Paul Dispatch says, that "a man with long
hair is no better than a. Populist," phrase
which the Dispatch evidently aimed at the

John Lind will carry Douglas county this
fall with larger plurality than he did two
years ago. The total vote of the county
may not be any larger than that of 90 on ac-
count of the number the new election law

Lind Is more popular in this county than he
was two years ago when he received 1886
votes to Clough's 1,6S2. 1t must be remem-
bered that '96 was a presidential year, and
also that the gold Democrats worked against
Lind. There no Gold Democrats now
most of them will be found voting the Peo-
pies ticket this fall. We have heard Re-
publicans say that the why Lind car
ried this county at the last election was be-
cause Of Clough's unpopularity, but this can
not be so, for Clough received 1876 more votes
