time. the President said he would have
the appointment made at once and
asked the Senator 10 have talk with
Secretary Carlisle In regard 10 II, which
he did, and the Secretary Informed him
that be would make the appointment
immed lately.
Mr.. White, the present collector, has
sent in his resignation TO take effect on
the appointment and qualification Of bis
successor.
lis understood that Mr.. Gilkeson
does not desire 70 take charge Of the OF
fee until the end Of the fiscal year,
Jnne 3Oth. He wishes TO examine thor
oughly into its working, and become IA
miliar with its duties before the reSpOn-
sibility OF the office is placed upon him.
IL understood he will spend cOnsid-
erable time doing this between now and
June 30. IL is also reported, upon good
authority. that the appointment oy Mr..
GlkesOn, of his SubOrdinateS, will be
made In June, so that he and his APP
pointees can go into office at the same
time.
This afternoon, Mr.. Gilkeson, who
was in town, received his commission
as Collector Of Internal Revenue for
West Virginia, and put II 10 his inside
vest pocket with great satisfaction.
This settles the contests, II they can
be called contests where so much good
feeling prevailed throughout for the
three important federal Offices In West
Virginia.
The Senators and members OF Con-
gress have worked together harmoni-
ously from the first and the result has
been that the appointments are all made
in good time, and little, il any, hard
feeling has been aroused over them.
The men appointed as Marshal, District
Attorney and Collector are those who
were announced In the REGISTER as
likely to get the places, fully three
months ago. In this connection IL can
be said that the administration has not
: vet done all IL means 20 do In recogni-
ton OF the sturdy Democracy OF West
Virginia. Some other good places viii
be given TO West Virglnians before long.

EFFECT or THE PRESIDENTS ORDER.
One effect OF the Presidents order
closing the executive mansiOn( to Office
seekers has been TO cause the |crowd TO
change their point OF attack I'd the cab
inet officers. There was pdrceptible
Increase In the number Cf cal ers and a
good deal OF time was CONSUMED. IL
this continues, all the members OK the
cabinet will adopt precisely similar
rules. The same reasons apply 10 the
mem bers OF the cabinet. Ia thb State ana

the President instead Of theH time being
consumed in making pressed btations OF
politicians, recOllectiOns OF FhOm fade
