A viotorx for West Virginia.

Ex-RepRsentatiye Phil Thompson, Jr.,
OF Kentucky, did not get the office OF
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. 1t Is
a very good office, and pays $4,000 year
Mr.. Thompson wanted it very much, and
a good many very influential Congress-
men wanted him to have it. The Fresl-
dent was urged by Senators and Repre-
sentatives 10 give the place to him, and
Morrison, of tariff reform fame. is report
ed TO have telegraphed TO the President
that he would ask for nothing more of the
administration than Mr.. ThompsOn's ap-
pOintment.
The fact that the President resisted all
requests in Mr.. TOmpson's behalf shows
that he has a very considerable amount
of backbone. Why're declined to appoint
him is not stated. The reason is proba-
bly, that he was atraii that the Kentucky
whisky men would lave too much in
fluence with him. 1t vas said that Mr..
Randall opposed Mr.. Thompson, and
there were some who claimed that the re-
suit in the Thompson case would show
whether Mr.. Randall or Mr.. Carlisle had
the more influence with he President.
Mr.. Randall himself, however, put an
end 10 that phase Of the contest by stating
that he was making no efon to defeat
Mr.. Thompson.
The successful aspirant for tie place IS
Mr.. J. ;. Miller, of West Virginia, late
Auditor of that State. he is about a
years old and has the reputation OF beirg
a man of above the average in ability and
without a blenish on his record, either as
a citizen or public man. His character
and ability justify the conclusion that he
will administer the internal revenue
bureau in a way that will reflect credit on
the administration.
HIS appointment is due probably Il

The seney Collection.

Early next month one Of the most i'm
pOrtant sales of pictures that ever took
place in this country will occur. The
pictures belong to Mr.. G. l. Seney, gen.
tleman well known in Georgia on account
OF his liberality to Georgia educational
institutions.
The reverses with which Mr.. Seney met
in business a year or more ago is the
reason Of this sale Of his pictures. When
he was prosperous he was not only
liberal promoter of education, but was
also liberal patron of art. His collec-
ton OF pictures cost 100000. Some of
them are represented to be very fine, but
the critics say that good judgment was
not displayed in making purchases.
The impression is that the collection
will sell for something near what it cost.
In this statement the TACT
is considered that duties on
works OF art are about copper cent. higher
now than when Mr.. Seney's pictures
were purchased.
1t is thought that some of the finest of
the collection will go to Corcoran Art
Gallery in Washington. The statement
is made that the trustees Of that institu-
ton have determined to expend $4,000
in purchasing some Of the choicest of the
pictures.
Mr.. seney visited this State few
weeks ago and spent some time at the
institutions of learning which owe SO
much Of their prosperity to his generosity.
OF those who sympathize with him most
deeply I'm his business misfOrtuues many
doubtless reside in this State.
