LEAVING CAPITAL.
Find Washington an Expensive Place
While Waiting for Plum Tree
to Shake.

Washington, March 19.-Every train
leaving Washington, going in south
ernly direction, carries on its lists of
passengers many disgruntled and
much disappointed office seekers. Some
of these came to Washington just af-
ter Christmas, when Congress as
scmbled; others came to the inaugura-
ton, and still others have arrived
since. They are going home because
they have become thoroughly con-
vinced that the national capital is a
very expensive place in which to live
while waiting for the plum tree to
shake.
The home-goers are not from any
one State, or from any one section of
the country, for that matter, although
it is true that fo1 obvious reasons
more of them are from the south than
elsewhere.
But here is something else the job
hunters have recently discovered
They have become convinced that it
will do them no good to remain in
Washington. Once having placed their
interests in the hands of their respec-
tive congressman, there is little else
that can now be done. Secrtary Bryan
will not return to his Office for some
time from his western trip, and sew
eral of the other Cabinet members ex-
pect to be away more or less during
the early spring months. Added TO
this is the friendly advice handed out
ITO the weary walters by the congress-
men that longer tarrying here would
not only be of no avail, but in many
cases probably useless.
There is much dissatisfaction among
some of those who have been disap-
pointed, but this was to be expected.
1t was never contemplated by those
well informed that the new administra-
zion would summarily turn out former
employees and officeholders to make
room for others, but this fact appar-
emily does not suit many of those now
turning their faces homeward. Many
of them will go back to their people
with alluring stories of what they
did in the national capital while wait
| ing for something to "turn up" glad
! no doubt, that after all they are at
home again. Many appointments are
going to be made, but now just now
In time the plum tree will shake fol-
keeps, but that will come with tn.
extra session of Congress.

MoNcuRE FOR COLLECTOR.
Senator From Stafford! County Will
Probably be Appointed.

According to gossip among Vir-
gin;ans in Washington the collector
shin of the Internal Revenue of the
Eastern District will in all probability
90 to Senator r. c. L. Moncure, of
Stafford county. brother of Robin
son Moncure, of this city. Mr.. Mon
cure is the only applicant for the
position and his claims are being urg-
ed by prominent men from all parts
of Virginia.
According to press dispatch from
Washington the official heads of M.
X. Lowry and B. F. Bailey, collect
ors of the Internal Revenue for the
eastern and western districts of Vir-
ginia respectively, are in danger.
Late last evening Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo told sew
eral senators that while the admin
istration did not intend to vacate the
office filled by republicans for definite
terms, this policy may not be invok-
ed in the cases of those Offices filled
by republicans appointed at the pleas
ure of the President.
Collectors of the internal revenue
are officials whose offices come with
in the term of "at the pleasure Of the
president" The collectors are gene
rally regarded as being named for an
indefinite period and are subject to re-
moval at any time that the president
may ask for their designations.
Charges do not have to be preferred
against them or other reasons given
for tha action by the president. The
Office is filled, under the law, "at the
pleasure of the president"
No definite action along this line
will be taken until the United States
commissioner of the internal revenue
is named. This man will succeed
Royal E. Cabell, of Richmond. AS
soon as the Democratic commissioner
takes charge of Mr.. CabelPs desk,
Secretary McAdoo will then discuss
with him the policy of the internal
revenue division and the question OF
the Offices of the collectors.
That such policy is being contem-
plated by the treasury department is
not generally known in, the revenue
districts. 1t is only IN a few states
that many applicants for these plums
are coming forward. For Mr.. Lowry's
lob there is only one known applicant
so far as Washington can learn. He IS
R. C. L. Moncure, Of King George
and is backed by Congress
man C. C. Carlin, Of the Alexandria
district.
The western district of Virginia,
however, is an exception. There are
no less than a dozen applicants for
Mr.. Bailey's job. These jobs pay 3d.
500 year.
