ocrats, with MIR. Randall at their head,
to secure the appointment Of Joseph ).
Miller, Of West Virginia, as Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The Pre-
sident has not yet come to decision
with regard to the filling of this place,
and it is not likely the nomination will
be sent to the Senate before the end of
the week. Mr.. Miller, who is thought
10 be Congressman Phil. ThompSon's
strongest competitor for the position,
has been Auditor al West Virginia for
the past eight years.

Christmastide.

Christmas is prominently the
festival of childhood. The great
congregation of little people in their
white night-gowns who go to sleep
tonight very close to the pearly
gates OF the heaven of expectation,
will parade tomorrow through
chamber and hall decked in all the
bravery of tin trumpet and wooden
ware in an ecstacy of enjoyment and
content which in the years that are
to come to them, will help dull the
edges of the sharp task-work which
life sets US all. A merry Christmas
says the Banner to all the little rev.
elers, in this Christmastide. And
may the lights last long, and the
music of merry voices float longer
still on to-morrow's sweet charity.
The elders too, should take leave
to go a long way back toward youth
and refresh the waste places of lives
too often under shadow, with the
Christmas sunshine, so full is it of
childIike thoughts and tempers.-
Remember that s'a little child shall
lead them" A merry Christmas
says the Banner to those who are
looking toward the sunset of life.
And since love grows cold, some.
times with unwise arrangements,
this Christmastide ought to send
many out to regather and grasp
the clues of ancient friendship. To
those who clasp hands again after
the long chill, and forgive, it should
indeed be merry Christmas.
