MONEY FOR THE STATE.
Treasurer Lemcke Thinks that He Will Be
Able to Secure Furds in New York.

Governor HOvey yesterday received a let
ter from Treasurer Lemcke, in which the
latter, after stating that New York bank
ers other than the German Savings Bank
had made overtures looking to the purchase
of the State bonds issued under the new
loan act, expressed his belief that the Ger
man Savings Bank would take the bonds at
the figures bid by it provided the Supreme
Court of Indiana would declare them valid.
The latter plan seemed to strike the
Governor most favorably. ut would be
an easy way of settling the question" he
said, ''for some citizen of this State to file
a petition in one of the lower courts for an
Injunction against the Governor, Auditor
and Treasurer. asking that we be enjoined
from negotiating the bonds already issued.
A decision pro fOrma could be entered in
the lower court. and an appeal taken at
once to the Supreme Court. The latter
court. IN view of the Importance to the
State of the matter to be determined, would
give it immediate consideration, and a final
decision would probably be promptly fur
nished."
In the event of an adverse decision by the
Supreme Court the question of maintain
ing the State institutions from the ordinary
revenues would still be, an interesting one.
Deputy Auditor Coons, on a basis of 81, 4OO.-
600 of revenue, figures out a balance of
$4,000 after allowing $500. 900 to the benevO-
lent institutions and $50, 600 as interest on
the State debt. This sum he thinks, would
be sufficient for salaries. State-hOuse ex-
penditures and incidental expenses, but
the outstanding warrants and the special
appropriations, amounting to S1,O29,O0O,
would still remain unpaid.

THE NEW POSTOFFICE REGIME.
Mr.. Wallace Waiting for His Commission as
Observation-Disclosures Men Needed.

Postmaster Wallace isdaily expecting the
arrival of his commission as custodian of
the federal building, and as soon as it
comes there will be changes in the force of
janitors. In the meantime ex-Postmaster
Jones will continue to be supervisor of the
janitors. There is no salary attached to
the Office. 1--WE are making no changes
yet" said Mr.. Wallace yesterday in regard
to the force of clerks and employs in the
pOstofice. Il will lave to move slowly.
We are getting in good running. condition,
and everything so far has worked like a
charm" Assistant Postmaster Thompson
says some people have a wrong idea about
the work in the office. 1.-The men who
handle mail must be experienced" he re-
"A new man cannot be of much
value. 1t requires at least six months for
one to be able to handle the mater with
quickness and accuracy. 1t is of the
highest Importance that a single letter
shall not be mislaid. The wrong handling
of a single letter may bankrupt a firm, or
wreck a family. The work must be done
with exacting care. Here. for instance, are
two boxes, one for the reception of
New Orleans mail, and the other
for New York. They are side by side.
Now, suppose a clerk throws a letter di-
rected to New York into the New Orleans
box. Such a thing is possible, and if he did,
he would probably delay the letter for six
weeks

this afternoon, is not yet eighteen years

that he is going to do splendid work this
season.
Glasscock. Denny. Hines and Buckley
were the only men in the indianapolis team
who outranked GetZein as a batter last

Esterbrook seems to have regained his

this season.
