WOULD-BE COLLECTORS NOT SCARCE.
A Local Federal Office of Growing Importance
Light Work and Good Salary.

This Office is getting better from year
to year." remarked the deputy collector of
customs to the reporter, probably with a
view to inducing the latter to join the in
Vulnerable caravan who are now after that
Office. Some of the hard-worked officials in
the federal building say that Collector
Kuhn has the nearest a sinecure of any
government official in Indiana; that he gets
only seventeen or eighteen minutes work a
day out of the office, while the pay is near
ly 5000 year. In this respect it differs
from the late Sims COlley's definition. "a
sinecure," remarked Mr.. Colley, lis an
Office in which it is all work and no pay.n
YES" continued the deputy col
lector, "this Office is getting bet
ter all the time. Five thou
sand dollars is the maximum in fees
and salary, that the collector can make in
one year, the government having limited
the emoluments to that figure. The pay of
the clerks comes from Washington direct,
an appropriation being made for that pur-
pose. Our fiscal year ends June 30, and on
the 30th day of June, 1885, this office reached
its maximum and turned over to the govern

THE CITY'S LITIGATION.
All the Papers Complete and Argument Is to
Begin Thursday Next.

The last of the papers in the litigation
over the Bigham and Curtis bills were filed
yesterday. BY agreement the con-
stitutionality of both bills will be
argued before Superior Court Judges
Howe, Taylor and Walker next
next Thursday. The cases will be sent to
the Supreme Court speedily, and the ar
rangement is to argue them there ON the
2sth. the same date on which the Governors
suit will be heard. Messrs. Gall. Me-
Cutcheon and jameson qualified before the
county clerk yesterday morning. so that
they might sign their complaint 1t is
brief, merely citing the proceedings by
which the three gentlemen were
elected members of the board by
the Legislature, and complains that
Mayor Denny has refused To receive their
bonds or recognize them as constituting "a
legally-elected board. The answer, which
is brought in the name of Mayor Denny, is
practically the same as the one to the suit
for possession of the police and fire depart
ments. It says that by an act of 1869 the
Board of Aldermen and Council were given
power to control the city affairs, and that
they have done so unhindered ever since.
About 500, 900. il is stated. is expended an
nualy for light. water. streets bridges and
sewerage, etc., and this money has to be
raised by taxing the people.
The new law, the Mayor further states in
his answer, would give the Board of Public
Works and Affairs unlimited power To-
create expenses, and would deprive the peo-
pie of any will in the matter. The law is
claimed to be unconstitutional on the
ground that it was not signed by the
Speaker of the House and the Lieutenant
governor: because it is class legislation,
Indianapolis being the only. city in the
State with population of more then
10000, and because il discriminates IN favor
of two political parties in stating who shall
be members of the board. In conclusion,
the answer says that the State can have no
direct interest in the management of tho
affairs of Indianapolis, and that for the
Legislature TO assume control of such
affairs Is in direct violation of the Consti-
tion of the United States, of the Constitu-
tiol OF Indiana and the true principles of
republican government

Infantile Skin and Scalp Diseases

Boy nine years old. Bad hurnor all his life. Small,
red biotches, with dry, white scab, from head to
feet Two physicians fail. Cured by Cutcura.
My boy, aged niIe years, has been troubled all
his life with very bad humor, which appeared
all over his body in small red blotches, with n
dry white scab on them. Last year he was
worse than ever, being covered with scabs from
the top OF his head to his feet, and continually
growing worse, although he had been treated by
two physicians. As last resort, 1 determined
TO try the Cuticura Remedies, and unhappy to say
they did all that could wish. Using them ac-
cording TO directions, the humor rapidly disap-
peared. leaving the skin fair and smooth, and
performing a thorough cure The Cuticura REM
edies are all you claim for them. They are
worth their weight in gold to any one troubled

INpIANA.S MILITARY STORES.
A Collection Of Guns and Other Things that
Do Not Promise Formidable Defense.

Col Joseph p Pope, Quartermaster-gen-
eral, is getting the war material of the State
of Indiana, so that. in case of necessity. it
can be brought into use with as little delay
rs possible. Indiana is often spoken of in
the halls of legislation as a grand and glo-
rious commonwealth, but very little is said
of her grandeur as a military power. the
amazing profusi0n of her equipment in can
non. sabres, rifles and viIlainous gun
powder. Very few persons know that in
the vast subterranean chambers of the Cap
ital are stored the State arms, together with
other equipments necessary TO set her
squadrons in the field to arrest foreign in
yaslon or subdue domestic treason. Under
the dome of the State-house, In the subter-
rene vaults before mentioned. are nearly
guns enough to arm one entire regiment of a
thousand men, and the arms are several years
more recent than the flint-locks with which
the revolutionary fathers fought from
Lexington TO Yorktown, though they GER
tainly are old back numbers when CON-
pared with the repeating rifles OF to-day.
Here are stored coo Springfield rifles and
400 Sharpe's rifles, breech-loaders. with all
equipments complete. OF muZZle-lOaders
there are. of all kinds, about 500. and there
are Do carDlneS- 1lere - one Eating gun,
four three-inch rified PARROTS. and one
brass twelve-pounder. Here are limbers
and artillery harness enough to bring the
guns into action. and 200 or more cavalry
sabres. Of tents, there are 200, about
enough to shelter a regiment.
When Colonel Pope became Quartermas-
ter-general he found guns and sabres scat
tered all over the basement of the State
house. as though the schOOl-boys of the
town had been diverting themselves with
a sham-battle, land the guns owned by
the State are admirable for that
purpose, and for not much elsel but
he has been getting them together,
having them cleaned and repaired so
that whatever the State owns, whatever it
is worth in a military way. will at least
be in good order. There is a considerable
number OF guns scattered over the State,
the military companies that used them hav-
ing gone TO pieces and neglected to return
the States property. These guns are now
being inquired after. 1t is said that 1ndi-
anas military equipment is the feeblest of
any State that makes any pretension to
militia at all. The little State of Rhode
Island, which has to borrow some ground
from Connecticut whenever her militia has
a general muster, is said to be far ahead of
Indiana in munitions of war.
Another change in the new regime applies
to tho Quartermaster-generap personal
appearance. Few of his lifelong friends
now recognize him without special intro
duction. The barber did it. For over forty
years he wore a full beard, which curled
over his vest down TO the second button
from the bottom, giving him venerable
the first time in forty years. he allowed
razor to touch his face. His beard was sac
rihced, but the mOustache, large, long and
intensely military, remains.
