DISCUSSING THE nomination of Mr.. William
Tyler Page for Congress in the Second district
Senator McComas, of Maryland, said in Wash
ington on Wednesday II have known our
nominee Mr.. Page. since his boyhood, when
| found him in the Forty-eighth Congress as
page in the House of Representatives. He
had been appointed by Hon. Edward McPher-
son, who predicted for him a useful career.
Page and one other of the boys impressed me
as most promising of all the force. Since then,
in various places, as clerk of committee, in the
file room and in the Office of the journal clerk
ofthe House, Mr.. Page has gathered knowledge
and experience which admirably fit him to be
useful to his constituents. More than that he
has won the esteem and confidence of the lead
ers of the House on both sides and of many
other men in public life"

Government of the United States in an inn
portant and prominent consulship in foreign

A DISPATCH from Belair to the Baltimore
Sun says: Hon. s. A.. Williams of Hartford
county, is looming up strongly as the possible
Republican nominee for Governor Of Mary
land. There was talk for some time of sched-
uling him on the ticket for Attorney General,
but later developments indicate that he is
rather to be reckoned with as the head of the
ticket than as in the second or third place. AS
Senator Mr.. Williams ably supported Gov
ernor Lowndes, and contributed greatly to-
ward much of the best legislation which was
undeniably the outcome of the Lowndes adj
ministration." Senator Williams would I'M
doubleday make avery strong candidate He
is well known throughout the State and the
party would not make mistake in selecting
him for its standard bearer.

THE FARMERS of Walla Walla county, Wash
ington, are trying the experiment of laying
their roads with straw to improve them. The
county will have its second annual straw day
next month. Every fall the highways became
deep with DUST making travelling hard on man
and beast. Heavy rains meant mud, and the
dust could not be removed without destroying
the roadway. 1t then occurred to an enter
prising individual that if all of the farmers
could contribute straw, and all hands assist in
laying it on the roads most travelled, there
would be great change for the better. The
experiment was a decided success. The farm
ers turned out in force, plenty of straw was
offered, ready hands laid it to the depth of
foot or more on the main thoroughfares of the
county, and travelling became easy.

GEN. MILES has his wish granted. On the
permission of the President he is to go to the
Philippines and take look over the situation
there. The General made request for leave
to go there for this purpose last. winter, but it
was not granted. He is more fortunate now.
Gen. Miles is the only man now on the active
army list who made much of a reputation dur
ing the civil war. The country will be inter-
ested in knowing what he thinks of affairs in
its great dependency on the other side of the
globe.

from Westminster that Hon. A. A. Blakeney
had declined the denomination for Congress,
and that Mr. William Tyler Page, another
Baltimore county man, had been named
in bis stead. Some extra smart people said
they knew a week before that this was to
be the outcome, but the knowing ones guar
ded their secret carefully, heEce the surprise
when the thing actually took place. The first
appearance of Mr.. Page in Baltimore county
politics was when he came as delegate from
the 18th district to the convention held here
on Monday. He was selected as the presiding
officer of that body and so well did he dis
charge the duties of the position as to leave no
doubts in the minds of those present that be
is a gentleman of education and one to whom
such matters were by no means new. He
made most excellent impression and bis in
PRODUCTION to the Republicans of Baltimore
county appears to have been most propitious.
1t is plain to be seen.that Mr.. Page will inn
prove upon acquaintance, and that he will be
a standard bearer of which his party can feel
Justly proud and satisfied.
