ANDERSON Oct. ia fight with fists and
pistols occurred here to-day, shortly after
noon, that was the continuation of a fracas
last night and the beginning of what prom
ises to be an ugly feud. For long time
there has been bad blood between the deni-
zens of whisky row." disreputable quarter

OH the new courthouse. Last night num-
Der of the whisky row" party met crowd
of brick-layers and a general knock-down

medately followed, and Early, after knock

Civil-service Classification.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-It is understood the
Civil-service Commission have asked the
President to direct further classification of
employees in the government service, so as to
bring within the operation of the civil-serv-
ice rules the class of employees now receiv-
ing less than 5000 per annum. The Presi-
dent is believed to favor the proposition, and
it is thought he will soon direct reclassifica-
ton of the employ es receiving less than ST.
200 which will include number of those
receiving less than 5000, and who are not sub
ject to the regulations of the Civil.service
Commission. 1t is not thought, however, that
employees receiving less than $500 will be
included in the classification.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-The published
statement that the President has directed
that the annual reports of all bureau officers
of the different departments be withheld from
publication until after he shall have sent his

whether or not their contents shall be made
public in advance of transmission to the
President and by him to Congress in the reg
ular official routine, as the documents are to
be printed with the Presidents message.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Timely Protest Against Burning Leaves.
To the Editor N the Indianapolis Journal:
Indianapolis is city of trees, charming
garden plot, and trees are beautiful. Nothing
so much adds to the beauty of streets or resi-
dences as the rows upon rows of lovely trees
that grace the roadwavs and shade the lawns.
And the leaves What are trees without
leaves? Leaves have their time to fall"
and there is still beauty in falling leaves. But
beauty, poetry, sentiment, all vanish when
they are gathered into mass and burned
on the street. 1t is sport for the little boy,
and one is willing to suffer reasonably for bis
amusement But for each household to
gather their respective share and burn them
Tor radiance, is a nuisance too unbearable to
endure without protest. 1t makes our lovely
autumn days burdensome; it converts our
beautiful Indian summer into a veritable
gehenna; and while it is such a source of
unpleasantness to people in health, what
must it be to those who are afflicted with
throat and lung troubles! One cannot go out
for an evening walk, or sit out of
doors to enjoy the beautiful twilight, but
eyes and lungs are instantly filled and You
go choking into the house; but you cannot
shut out the hateful odor by staying indoors.
1t penetrates everywhere and you are at
last driven TO distraction aud bed, hoping to
find Lethe in sleep. But alasl you pass the
night gasping for breath, and arise unre-
freshed, sore chested, only to go through the
same experience at another sunset.
We earnestly protest. Permit us to enjoy
the lovely autumn evenings without this
entirely useless vexation and suffering. Let
us bride the small boy to desist, and hire our
leaves carted off LIRIs.

Prohibition Not Political Question.

Ilpton AuNocages
Prohibition will never win through polit-

There is too much hypocrisy among the
professors. Too many talk prohibition,
preach and argue for it, but when it comes
to voting they walk arm in arm with the
saloon-keeper, the manufacturer and the
drunkard and vote the same ticket. Prohibit
ton is problem that will never be solved
in the political arena. They must take a
shorter cut, and get in their work in the
