LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
No Arrests-Circlo Park.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
You deserve the thanks of our citizens for
calling the attention of our vigilant police to
the numerous burglaries and other depreda-
tons recently committed in the city. As
many of the members of the TO rec are new
men, they may not have learned all of their
duties, and it is well to remind them that it
would crafty the public to learn of an &C.
casional arrest being made when crimes have
been committed.
The depredations of host of young can
didates for the penitentia ry who spend their
time prowling about the outskirts OF the
city and stealing fruit from yards and gar
dens, with boldness and effrontery seldom
surpassed by hardened criminals, might
properly claim some attention at the hands
of these peace preservers and property-pro-
tectors. In many instances that have re-
Gently come TO our notice, these abandoned
juveniles have driven the chill
dren into their homes and then helped
themselves to all the apples, grapes, etc, they
could stow away, returning volleys of oaths
and obscene epithets in answer to the remon-
strances of the ladies of the family. They
have become a terror to the quiet people in
some parts of the city, but no arrests have
In reference to your suggestions regarding
the proper disposition of Circle Park, allow
a word of dissent. 1t should not certainly
be used as public lounging place, and yet it
would be almost a cruelty to remove the
seats The few that are scattered about I'M
der the trees are almost always occupied,
during the noon hour at least, and by quiet,
respectable-looking people. The park, with
its seats, is a convenient resting-place for the
numerous excursionists who visit the city
from some direction almost every week
seats, there should be more, but
lounging sleeping and stretching out
at length upon the grass should be strictly
forbidden. Perhaps our green policemen
might learn how to make arrests by begin
ming on violators of an ordinance against
lounging on the grass and seats of Circle
Park. Instead of the pump, the park should
have large and handsome fountain, which
should stand in the center of tall iron
frame observatory, like that at Cleveland
which should be surmounted with an cleo
trio globe TO light the park and streets cen
tering there at night KY.

Senator Sherman at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 3L-Hon. John Sherman
was introduced on Change and made brief
address, speaking of the bounteous crops,
the basis of all wealth as an encouragement
to business. Referring to the railroad fail
ures, he said over-production had checked
the income-paying power of some, but in his
opinion this would be rectifed in two or
three years. Concluding he referred to his
action in the Senate in favor of relief to
holders of bonded whisky. He said he ia
vored no abatement of taxes, but would not
vote for a course that amounted to confisca-
ton. In this matter he looked upon whisky
as property entitled to the same protection as
any property.

CHICAGO, Aug 31-The executive COM

controlling all distiileries north of the Ohio
river held conference here to-day with the
Peoria distillers, one or two of whom de-
clined to sign the agreement limiting pro-
duction during the coming year Some con-
cessions were made to them, the nature of
which has not TRANSFERRED and an agreement
was signed. This agreement goes into eff
feet tomorrow, and H. B. Miller, president
of the association, telegraphed to all the
distillers in the agreement to limit produc-
ton to 25 per cent of their capacity. Under
this arrangement the combined production
of the association will be 10000 gallons
daily, consuming 43, 600 bushels of grain.
