An Office of Which George Moore Wishes
to be Relieved-A Splendid Opportunity
for a Moss-Covered Stalwart.
Yesterday Gen. NJ. D. Flower got into official
harness as deputy United States collector of
customs of the port of St. Paul. Title enough.
He filed his bonds, took the oath of office, and
entered upon the discharge of his duties by
writing an official communication TO some sea-
port or another. Meanwhile the ex-col-
ector, George Fl. Moore, t. remains in
the Office. He occupies very
anomalous position. He is custodian of the
custom house, without the usual emoluments
attaching to federal office.
Several years ago Mr.. Moore was appointed
by the secretary of the treasury, custodian -
The appointment was followed by an applica-
tion for salary. Then the constitutional diff
Guilty of one person drawing two
officers salaries interposed. This
was circnmvented by increasing
the collectors salary from 81 200 per annum tc
50, 900, and making the "custodianship" an ad.
junot of the other Office.
Nevertheless the original appointment and
under which he has been acting, was regular in
form and made George II. Moore Gus, odian
without reference to his other Office. The ap
pointment of Gen. Flower as deputy collector
gives him the $2,0 900 without the Office of Gus
todian, and allows George H. Moore to retai1
the office of custodian without tho $2 900 or an,
part of it. How long?
