EXAMINATION.
BUT 1T is NOT FREE

Sweeping changes in the Office Of
the collector of internal revenue for
the Eastern district of Virginia are
expected next month, when. in all
proba bility, a successor to Collector
Lowry will he named by the treas
ury department. This new collector
can name his own deputies. and as
he will he a DEMOCRAT, II takes no
seer to see that the present deputies
will not he retained, for they are Re
puhlicans.
In other words. August will prob
ably be the month for the turn of the
hungry Democrats of the Eastern dis
trict of Virginia at the counter
which they have eyed for so many
months with greedy looks,
Not Easy Sailing.
But--and here ia sad news for faith
full workers--the deputies named by
the new Democratic collector will be
named for short while only. Their
appointment will be temporary Civil
service rules stand In the way. and
unless those named for a period can
stand an examination, they must 60
out of Office, even as the Repu blicans
departed before them.
Only Republican deputies, under
]
office as deputy collectors. and to meet
this condition 1t has been arranged
to hold examinations In Richmond
and other cities to provide a list OF
Democratic eligibles. If during their
long sojourn in the wilderness any
Democrats have retained enough sense
to pass the examination. they can
get on this list of eligibles, and will
have a chance with others to be APP
pointed to permanent positions II
will make hungry office-seekers feel
better, and at the same time will
violate no condolences to say here that
In all probability a good Democrat
will have sense enough to pass the
examination.
Where Exams VIII be Held.
The examinations will be held on
August 10th at Richmond, Freder-
cksburg. Petersburg. Norfolk. New
port News, and Alexandria for the
Eastern district and on the same date
at Roanoke, Lynchburg. Danville
