The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune has the fol
lowing to say of the election of Judge
McComas as United States Senator
and his opportunities in that office:
Judge McComas resigns a life place
on the bench here for a seat in the
Senate and the uncertainties of poll
tics. The rule is rather for men to
leave politics for the life place on the
bench. But Judge McComas, in the
opinion of all his friends, has made a
wise choice. He achieved success in
politics early in life and demonstrat-
ed unusual qualities for that field of
activity.
AS good speaker and an equally
good mixer" he took a position in
the front rank of the younger men of
the South who were trying to free
their section from the deadening grip
of Bourbonism. He made some head
way and SO much reputation for him
self, that when he was defeated for
Congress by the cutlery against the
so-called force BILL" which he had
supported, President Harrison APP
pointed him to place on the bench.
He has filled that place with signal
success, addressing himself to his new
duties as diligently as he had done to
| the old.
1t is natural for his friends to sup
pose, however, that he has found the
courtrooms as compared with the
halls of Congress a little SLOW 1t is
not unlike keeping school to sit all
day listening to the recitations of ad-
vocates and the examinations of wit
nesses, whereas in either house of
Congress the variety of the topics
discussed affords constant interest.
Then Judge McComas is a compare.
lively young man-only 52-Of fine
health and great energy, and, back
in politics again, will undoubtedly
enjoy life more. 1t is considered here
that he has an exceptional opportu-
nifty not only to serve his State we'll
but to become national quantity.
AS border State. Maryland occu-
pies II prominent position, and for
some years her course has been shap-
ing toward the policies which Judge
McComas represents. He is a better
speaker than Mr.. German, does not
labor under the arrangements about
bossism, which did so much to carry
Mr.. German down, and, on the
whole, will enter on his new duties
with tlattering prospects. His home
while he was a member of the House
was at Williamsport, an old town
near Hagerstown. He is now to be
come a citizen of Baltimore, and that
it is thought will increase his useful
ness and prestige.

Maryland Must Have Good Roads.

The Baltimore american in discuss
ing the question of better roads for
Maryland, so aptly expresses our
views that we re-publish the same
The american says:
"At a dinner recently given in In
dianapolis, Governor Mount speaking
of development in indianapolis, said:
During the last twenty years more
than twelve thousand miles of free
| gravel roads have been constructed.
The toll roads, with but few excep-
tions, have been purchased and made
free. Good roads being absolutely es-
sential to higher developments, social
INTELLECTUALLY and financially, there
fore, road improvement is indicative
of substantial growth The governor
told his hearers that hundreds of
miles of dirt roads are being made into
graveled turnpikes every year. This
is not true only in Indiana. Kentucky
has hundreds of miles of fine roads.
The fact is, all the progressive states
are recognizing that the states cannot
be developed properly without good
roads. Farmers must be able to get
their products to the railroads or the
ward. Investors are willing to pay
more for land if the country roads are
good for the simple reason that the
land is worth more.
maryland needs stirring up in this
matter. The state can never attract
settlers and investors unless there are
good roads. People in the West and
in Europe have shown that they are
| favorably disposed toward Maryland,
as is proven by the new additions,
notably on the Eastern Shore. The
climate here is good, the waterways
are unsurpassed for convenience, the
soil is good and the markets are close.
The railroads and steamboats, are do
ing their part in development, and
| the state must take hold of the mat
ter of providing good roads, if the
farming lands are to be made more
valuable. 1t would be feasible to
compel each county to levy a certain
tax, the income to be spent on the
roads in the particular county and
nowhere else. The amount should be
sufficient to provide for so many
miles of roads every year. In few
years the whole state could have ex-
celent turnpikes, after which the
yearly cost of maintenance would be
small. Those who paid the tax could
see every year exactly to what use
their money had been put"

THE free-silver orators who insisted
in 1898 that farm products could not
advance without the free coinage of
silver would do well to look up the
prices at which wheat sold in Chicago
last week before they attempt to use
their old manuscript in the campaign
of 1898. Wheat at $1.10 in a country
which has rejected the free coinage OF
silver as this one did in 1896 is not a
very strong argument in favor of the
theory which they attempted to force
upon the farmers in the last Presiden-
tial campaign.

division in this great religious body
on Il question that has long since
ceased to be sectional issue, so far as
political lines are concerned, was
about to be healed, and thus contrib
ute to a more complete reunion of all
elements concerned in an unfortun-
ate period of the country's history.
1t is not to be presumed that the
southern Methodists will quietly sub
nit to the protest, whatever may be
the final action of Congress-; and
whether the northern branch of the
church succeeds in showing that I'M
der the law the Nashville claim can
not be granted, or not the old ami
mosities of abolition days that are
awakened by the charges and coun-
ter charges between the two sections
of the church cannot fail to postpone

There still remains soc, 900, 900 acres

her distribntive share, then the pub

IT MUST be an edifying spectacle to
the average democrat of the country
to see Popocratic Chairman Jones,
who holds his position through the
influence of the silver-mine owners
wing of the democratic party, waver-
ing between opinions as to whether he
shall or shall not decapitate the man
who led the democratic party to vic
tory in 1892. The silver-mine owners
and their allies in the democratic
party, so called, are demanding the
removal of William H. Harrity, the
Pennsylvania member of the demo-
cratic national committee, because he
does not subscribe to the free-silver
doctrine. 1t was Mr.. Harrity whose
splendid management led the demo
cratic party to success in 1892, and to
see the element of the party which
led it to defeat in 1896 now demand
ing the political scalp of the one sue
cessful warrior of that party is a
touching spectacle.

Echo of War Times,

The bill which passed the House of
Representatives appropriating $685.,
900 for the war claim of the Method
list church South has reopened the
animosities of the war between the
northern and southern branches of
that denomination the former branch
bitterly denouncing the southern
brethren as having aided and abet-
ted the effort to destroy the Union.
AT the time the measure passed the
lower House of Congress it was thought
that no opposition existed among the
northern Methodists to the claim,
but now some vigorous protests are
being made-so vigorous, in fact,
that it is doubtful if the bill will be
favorably considered by the Senate.
The basis of the claim was that the
Southern Methodists took no part in
the rebellion, and throughout the
war were as loyal as possible to the
federal government. On this ground
they asked reimbursement for their
property destoyed at Nashville. In
reply to this the northern branch of
the church, though it's writer's for the
press, declares that the southern
church was not only used as an agen-
cy to promote the disunion of the
states but adopted methods not con-
sistent with Christian profession.
Coming at a.time when the move
ment for the reunion of these two
branches of Methodism, divided so
many years ago on political and
slavery questions, is well under way,
it is probable that this incident will
reopen the old wounds and render,
for the time being at least, its success
next to impossible. This is regret
able, since it was hoped that the
