JUDGE Mccor1As. SENATOR.

Judge Louis e. McComss, of Hag-
erstown, Nd, has been elected by
the Legislature of Maryland, U. S.
Senator, 30 succeed Hon. A. P. Cor
man, whose third term in that ca
pacity will soon expire. Judge Nc
Comas is we'll and favorably known
ia this community, and his election
will he hailed with pleasure. He is
thoroughly educated, an sstute and
brilliant lawyer, the peer of the best
men in his district, loved by his
people, the hero in many political
contests with the best leaders of the
Democracy, in oratory and political
science, wherein he tasted the pleas
ure of victories and the bitterness of
defeat, possessing excellent knowl-
edge OF state craft and legislative
wisdom, by reason of three terms of
hard labor in Congress, to which, is
to be added several years of judicial
experience on the Bench In Wash
ington, and therefore, is eminently
well fitted to perform the arduous
and responsible duties of Senator.
We believe his election to be an
admirable and worthy selection by
the representatives of the indepen.
dent and Republican people of
MARYLAND.

Speaker Reed and Leader Bailey on
Question of veracity.
Thursday of last week there was quite
q spirited controversy between Speaker
Reed and Mr.. Bailey. leader Of the
Democrats in the house, on a question
of yeractiy. Mr.. Bailey openly declared
that he had an understanding with the
speaker that a vote should be taken on
a motion to recommit the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. Mr..
Reed positively declared that he had
made no such agreement, though Mr..
Bailey reiterated it, and the eontro-
yersy created sensation. The senate
took up the Teller resolution author
izing the payment of government bonds
in silver
On Friday an agreement was reached
in the senate providing for a final vote
on the Teller bond resolution next
Thursday. In the house the urgent de-
ficiency bill was sent to conference.
On Saturday in the house the con-
troversy between Speaker Reed and
Democratic Leader Bailey was renewed,
each reiterating his previous statement.
The statements and counter statements
We're enthusiastically cheered by the re-
spective sides. In the senate amend
ments to the Teller bond resolution were
offered, one declaring it to be the duty
of government to maintain the parity
of gold and silver and the other de-
claring for gold standard until an in
ternational agreement can be secured.
Monday of this week in the senate

1t is reliably reported that Mr..
Alex r. Clohan will, in February
next, become Postmaster of Mar
tinsburg, to succeed Mr.. G. W. Boy
err, whose term expires by limitation.
1t is rumored that very practical
and accommodating force will be
placed in service, and that Mr.. Clo-
han intends the clerks shall receive
the full amount Of pay allowed them
by the Department. This would be
proper, and we presume was the Gus
tom Of the outgoing official, the fund
actually being for their benefit. Mr..
Boyer and his force have been very
agreeable and accommodating to the
public, and so far as we know, COM
plants have been few.

Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great

urinary passages. It correcls ina
bility to hold urine and scaIding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and oyercomes that unpleasant NEG
essity of being compelled to get up

Senator Elkins seems determined
to present some aspect of the finan-
cial question that may be looked up
on favorably by the silverites. The
bill, restricts the issue by the Treas
ury of all notes under five dollars !;
allows National banks to issue cur
rency to par value of their bonds de-
posted !; reduces tax on circulation
to one-half of one per cent. and pro-
vides for chartering National banks
with $25, 900 capital in towns of 5000
population. This would require sill
yer for use in exchange on all sums
