portrait, tor both OF which wa are in
dcbted to the ready courtesy of the
editor Of that paper:
Daniel #. Miller sr., the Nestor of the Iowa
bar, is of German descent His paternal
grandfather was an officer of position in the
army of Frederick the Great, of Prussia. He
cmgratcd to the American colonies and
settled III Virginia ON Il farm near Mount
Vernon, the home of General Washington
shortly before the commencement of the Rev
oluton The parents of ID. f. Miller, ST.
were, when hc was born, residing on farm
on the west side of the north branch of the
Potomac river, some five or six miles from
FroNb"rg otHe Stdtc Of .Ndry'aHd, on October
lth, 1914. His parents, with their family,
moved to Ohio in 1873, and he lived there
with them until 1880, when he went to Pitts
burg to secure better opportunities for educa-
tlonal purposes. Before he went to Pittsburg
he had entered into an engagement with an
ONO newspaper proprietor and editor to learn
the printing trade, and had worked at that
business nearly a year, when his father tan
old democraD came into the printing office,
and peremptorilv ordered him to take his
hat and leave that office. Young Dan remon-
strated and the proprietor of the office re-
monstrated, but he had to leave and the only
explanation the old man would give for his
conduct was that the editor had published an
abusive article against General Jackson, and
if his son remained there his politics would
be contaminated. Uncle Dan (as he is fa-
milIarly known) remained in Pittsburg eight
years, and while there was for IL time Il stu
dent Of a celebrated learned man and teacher
n. X. Smith, the father of J. +. Smith, Of
Fort Madison. Mr.. Miller, also himself
taught private school there one year, and
was employed rs a teacher of public schools
several years During the last three years of
his residence in Pittsburg he was employed in
the study and practice Of the law. In April,
1889, he came to Iowa territory, which then
consisted of II strip OF land along the west
bank of the Mississippi river, fifty miles wide,
and abont 300 miles long; with a white pop
ulatiOn all told not exceeding forty thousand
and some thousands of Indians roaming over
the country. Mr. Miller selected the then
little village Of Fort Madison for his residence
and soon had reasonable share of law prac-
ticc and ho has been in continuous law
practice ever since, almost eyer to be found
III his law office, or in ATTENDANCE at some
court, except the winter OF 1910, when he was
three months absent asa member ofthe Iowa
territorial legislature, and portion of 1919
and 1850 when hc represented the First dis
trlct of Iowa in congress He has been in

In one of its usual egotistic aSser-
tions the Cumberland Times says las
matter of course the centennial will be
held in Cumberland" This paper has
not the courtesy to await the action of
the convention upon this matter. No
doubt the low tricks and questionable
merhods by which the Cumberland
politicians have controlled conventions
in the past, has led the Times to the
natural conclusion tina: it is only nee
e8sary for them to announce what they
want, and. as usual, the "hogs up the
creek" will coincide. And Just such
thoughtless, ungenelous actions upon
their part has caused revVlsion of
feeling on the creek toward Cumber-
land.
Will the Times tell us what induce
meht Cumberland holds out other than
beng the county seat is it il visit to
Shantytown, ,hat iiucntiOus, lccher-
Gus ceSSpOOl, or Il prOmcnad" down
Baltimore street with its many res
taurants, saloons and gambling hells,
that are SO literally patronized by
men who would he ashamed to be seen
shaking hands with II miner.
The Times cannot offer aS an in
ducement Cumberland hospitality or
sociamlity.
tell you the feeling on the Creek
is that Cumberland never wants us,
only when they can use us to elect her
people to spend our money. ~

I'Ostofice History. - Charles II.
Walker, incumbent, was last Saturday
named postmaster of this place by
President Harrison. and an Monday
the Senate confirmed the nomination.
Mr.. Walker was first appointed
postmaster May Is, 1869. December
l., 1872, the Office was made presiden-
tidl, Mr.. Walkers commission dating
therefrom. In 1881 his rc-appolnt-
ment was several days delayed. After
having been sent in tho Senate did not
act upon it until January 26. 1888.
His last commission, therefore, eX-
pired January 26, 1889. Again some
delay followed, when president Cleve-
land appointed Albert Hole, hut the
Senate failed to confirm. The new
president came in March t, who, being
in accord with the new Senate, Mr..
Walker WAS easily re-appointed and
confirmed, as stated.
He has held the Office continuously
from his appointment by postmaster
general Creswell in 1869. He was
twice appointed by Gen. Grant,
once each by Gems Hayes and Arthur
and now by Gen. Harli ison.
Mr.. Walker is one of the very few
men in public life to whom delays have
not been dangerous. In the eye of
the politician he has been ''lucky."
He will soon begin the twenty-frst
year of his postmastership, and while
in the gross sense he may be fortu-
nate, it Is to be said also that he has
"won his luck" by an official career of
exceptional fidelity to the trust com
mitted to him. Always at his post,
he has given personal supervision to
every detail Of the business. tn
tlrlpg and patient, the public has been
served with no intermissiOn of con-
stancy or abatement Of urhanity, Tie
has long been an expert handler of
mails, and very few people regret that
he is to wait upon them at least four
years more.

TUE LABOR COMMISSIONER,
A New Plan Chosen by the legislative Conn
nlittee to Select y Man.

A New Plan Chosen by the Le sislRtiye Com.
nIttee to Select n Man.
The Legislative Committee Of the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, OF
this city, which was instructed to select
candidates for the office OF State Com
missioner Of Labor Statistics, an office
created by the Legislature during Its
recent sessionat theinstance and through
the efforts, mainly, Of the Trades Assem-
bly, and its representatives, was TO have
met Saturday evening for the purpose Of
making selections. The original idea
was to select a Republican and urge his
appointment in case General GolF Sc
cures the office OF Governor, to which
he is so Justly entitled also to select
Democrat aud recommend his appoint.
ment by Governor Wilson or Judge
Fleming in case either OF them have
their false claims backed up and euchre
General Golf out Of the office, and also
to select a candidate whose appointment
would be acceptable to Bob Carr in case
he should by some one OF the strange
freaks that have OF late characterized
West Virginia politics, fall into the Gu
bernatorial chair and remain there,
The idea has, however, undergone a
change. The committee did not hold a
formal meeting Saturday night, but in
stead met with several OF the leading
members Of the Assembly and talked
the situation over informally, and praC.
tically arrived at this conclusion: No
candidate will be selected because he Is
u Democrat, or n Republican, or Labor
man, but one will be chosen as Trades
Assembly man. In other words, the
probable recommendation Of the com.
mittee will be that the candidates for the
office be allowed to make canvass OF
the members OF the Assembly and
that then an election DO had and that
whoever receives q majority OF
the votes In the Trades Assembly
be Endorsed by that body as Its
candidate for Commissioner. There Is
but little doubt that u candidate SO SO.
lcCted would be appointed TO the office
no matter who is Governor, for the rea-
son that the Assembly was so active in
suggesting and having the office created,
that 1t is justly entitled to the office.
The plan OF selecting candidate that
shall be an Assembly choice irrespective
Of politics is n more sensible one than
the other and will undoubtedly give
more satisfaction,

building in this city to-day Bishop Kain,
OF Wheeling, delivered IN address in
which he severely denounced the public
sChoolsystem Of America. In the course
Of his remarks he said the public school
system was a divorce from moral and

derstaud how 1t was just for the

compelled to pay u tax to help educate
the son and daughter OF the millionaire,
The State has no more right to tax the
poor man for the education OF the rich
mans children than for the support OF a
rich mans family, He denied
that the Catholic Church was OPP
posed to education, and said;
'The great problem that Conironts
us to-day is the same as that which con-
fronted the people in apostolic times.
There were schools then, but they were
pagan schools, and the only way to
counteract their effect was to establish
Christian schools, That is what the
