SOME WEST WReINIANs APPOINTED.
Special 10 the Re0tsta.


WASHINGTON, June ll.-Commlsaoner
of Internal Revenue Miller, has nearly
finished with the Collectors. More than
two-thirds of them have been appointed. He
will now be able to begin little hcme work,
as it were, and look into his Office in the
Department. He haa had q hard time OF 1t.
Papers were piled up mountains high.
Many applicants fled as high as a hun.
dred endorsements. Some had twice that
number and occasionally man sent on q
bushel basketful of papers.
The Collector of Revenue for West Vir'
ginia gives two bonds, one as collector and
one as disbursing officer. The first is for
100000 and the second for $4,000. All
bonds of Collectors are approved by the
Solicitor of the Treasury and fled with the
First Comptroller. This latter Office has
final adjudication of Collectors accounts,
and Mr.. McGraw's affairs will be adjusted
by Judge Durham.
Bossing Bosses.
President Cleveland is making it very
uncomfortable just now for the would'oe
bosses. The few men who think they know
more than the Administration and feel sure
that their advice ought to be accepted are
finding that the President does not agree
with them at all times. The noble army OF
"kickers" which has been and is led by the
Senators from Kentucky is gradually re-
ceiving additions to It's ranks. There has
been a disposition on the part of the South
ern Representatives and Senators to dictate
rather than advise, and in this they have
been followed by considerable number OF
gentlemen from the North. President
Cleveland does not as a rule relish this sort
of thing, especially az the men who presume
TO dictate are not as rule the ones to whom
he feels that he owes anything in particular.
So he rather takes delight in giving them
sundry raps over the knuckles by emitting
to do things they demand. This has been
especially notable in the past few days. In
the case of the Cincinnati Marshal, the man
demanded by the coal oil gang was left at
home, as was also the man demanded by
the dictators from Chicago This was nota.
bly, the case with the recent appointments OF
Internal Revenue Collectors from Kentucky,
in which the Beck.Wstterson crowd was
given back seat and the whisky ring OF
that State given to understand that they are
not to dictate the men who are to watch
over them.
Personal.
Congressman Sayder is in the city look
ing after the interests Of his district.
Prot. r. Rsndolf McMshan, of the Sec
one Congressional district, has been most
favorably recommended to Secretary Man
ming for promotion by men Of distinction
irrespective of party, Among them are
Senators Camden and Kenna, Gov. Jack
son, Congressman Goff and Wilson, Judge
jackson, ex-senator Francis Herman and
Hon. George Raines, of Rochester, N. Y.
ex-Speaker Randall and many others. Mr.
McMshan has been law clerk in the de
psrtment for several years. he has worked
very hard and has made good record. His
advancement will be mainly due to that.
The U. S NIarshalship.
The U. S. Marshal for West Virginia re
ceives $500 year salary and fees not tc
exceed $4,000. The Office has not paid any
incumbent the latter figures. 1t is worth
from s., 500 to S., COO year, but under the
fee system no figures can be given with &C
curacy. As western marshal once said
1t depends upon how she's worked"
