THE President last Saturday nomi-
mated Mr.. Joseph S. Miller Of West
Virginia to be commissioner of inter
nal revenue We hope Mr. Miller will
make the offensive partisans vamoose
and surround himself with good Dem
ocrats, among whom there will be
many West Virginians. His appoint
ment is not one that meets with great
appreciation in this State, but he has
it in his power to compel the approval
of his party. We hope he may pur-
sue such course.
