LOOKING TO THE FUTUREl
what Some Government officials VIII DO
After March nth.

After March nth.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2S.-There
were several things found in the Christ
mas stockings this year Of a number Of
the Tromicnt Government officials that
gave the recipients a good deal Of salts
faction. Perhaps In some cases the know
ledge Of what the stockings contained
was not kept a profound secret from the
owners until Christmas morning. In spite
Of that fact, however, the Christmas joy
was more complete when 1t was based
on the knowledge that after the 4th Of
March they would be able TO step down
and out from official position into a good
desirable berth in private life. Gifts OF
this sort nave not been generally distri-
buted, but enough AVE been sent around
to enable a good proportion Of those out
side Of the civil service to look forward
to the coming change in administration
with not only equanimity, but a feeling OF
relief.
This is especially the case with several
of the heads Of the departments. Post
master-General Wanamaker, for example,
is an XiOus to get into the traces again
and assume the management of his large
business IN Philadelphia. His first pri-
Vate secretary. Marshall Gushing, has
already made arrangements 10 engage in
UNINf paper NOihs VIII HfdA'iutl lt4H
in this city. He will also be interested
in one or more publications. and has one
or two literary irons in the fire, which,
I'm all probability, will work out into some
thing Shapcly. AS MI. Cushing's salary
came entirely from the pocket OF Mr..
Wanamaker and he receives nothing
from the public Treasury his connection
with the department Will cease when
Mr.. NanamaIer r%etires.
The first assistant, Colonel Whitfield.
has already left the public service fof
private business. The second assistant,
Mr.. Eel. has made Eo definite arrange
ments as yet further than he intends 20
take a rest for a few months before
goirg into anything else. The third as
sistant. Mr.. Hdzen, has also not formed
any definite plans, but he will probably
continue to make his home in this city,
Whre he has lived for 50 many years,
and where his interests Ire. MIR. Rath-
bone, the foul tn assistant, intends to de-
vote his attention &c his private affairs.
lie Will remain here until The early sum
lner, then he viii go 10 his cottage al
Oakland, Nd. and then return TO his
home in Hamilton, O. The assistant at
torney-generai, Judge Tyner, viii resume
the practice Of his profession In this
city, which was interrupted by his APP
pointment to his present position.
In the Interior Department. the Secre-
tary, General Noble, has already had the
desk in his law Office in St. Louis busted
off. and the rooms cleaned and made
ready for his Use as soon after the 4th
Of March as he can get there. The first
assistant secretary. Judge Chandler. in
tends TO so 10 his home in Missouri to
resume the practice OF law. The assistant
secretary, General Bussey. is making pre-
parations 10 form a law partnership I'm
this city. which will be his future home.
The Commissioned of Patents. Mr..
Simonds. is going back to his hone I'm
Connecticut and 10 his law practice. 1t
is quite probable that when the question
OF the election OF a successor TO General
Hawley in the Senate comes before the
State Legislature. that Mr.. Simonds' name
will be prominent. The Indian Commits
%sioner, General Morgan. has already ac-
cepted the position OF corresponding sec
rotary OF the American Baptist Home
Missionary Societies. one Of the largest
organizations OF the kind In the country.
Ex-Governor Stone, the Commissioner Of
the General Land Office. has made no
definite plans for the future. The assis-
tant commissioner. Mr.. Rose, will proba.
bly, open a law Office in this city and will
utilize the knowledge gained in his Of
hcial career by making a speciality or
land cases.
