he can find no particular ground for prefer

Indianapolis have old Government
buildings which can he adapted for the
purpose OF mint and thus save the expense

building. The old United States Ar
senal building at indianapolis il now
no longer required for that purpose
and can be converted into a mint in six

can not be made available for the purpose
until the new building is completed, which
will not be within two or three years. DR..
Lindernann therefore recommends the for

Philadelphia Letter.
A Fat Take.

The Philadelphia Navy.yard (more
properly League leland, I Supposed,

years, has been Orderly Sergeant Of
the Marine Corps at this station. His
salary is less than twenty dollars per
month, and yet he has managed to
buy number Of brick houses, dimes
and wines in the best style-his cuisine
is said to be unsurpassed anywhere.
All these on nineteen dollars per
month. How does he DO it? This way:
He is in favor at the Navy-yard,
and keeps the csnteen ,or storehouse.
He loans money to the marines at
the highest percentage. charging it to
their account (; be has every marine
shipped to sea who does not spend his
money freely in the way OF buying
tobacco and extras, and borrows
when he is free Of cash. Whole
squads are allowed q days leave OF
absence at q time, and their ratjons
60 into the Sergeant's pocket. In
this and other ways this man has
been kept at this station for
nearly q quarter of century, sucking
the life out of these poor fellows over
whom he holds 8 petty sway. 1t Is,
indeed, time for Congress to look into
this matter. PeeulAtion and fraud are
the warps and woof OF its manage
ment at this navy-yard, and in these
days Of economy, 1t is time it was
stopped.
