The President has chosen for Coram
aioner of Internal Uevenue an honest a
intelligent* umn, a capable oflicer and c
of tho most genial yf gentlemen. 'J
Miller has all tlie qualifications to inst
a successful administration of his impc
ant office, lie will take pride in his wo
and the public interests will not suffer
his hands.
He is an expert politician of the bet
class, aud while serving his party with x
has rnado many strong friendships on I
other side. Through all the fierce ct
troverey over the policy of the State i
ministration with which he was so proi
nently identified, Mr. Miller persona
lost nothiug of tho kiudly feeling of tb<
who knew him. Nothing could mi
plainly show how he is esteemed at no
than tlio very general approval of his i
pointment.

Wilson administration consult ato

suppose the Senators were invited to pi

though tho consultation is cxpected tc
like the handle of a jug.
