Their Grievances.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-In commenting on
the anti-revenue plank of the platform
adopted by the moonshiners in the Demo-
cratic convention assembled in Lynchburg,
yesterday, General Green B. RGnm calls at
tenton to the fact that the Virginians have
no cause for personal grievances, as the Do
minion does not pay one-half as much tax
on tobacco as Kentucky, and producess less
whisky than either Kentucky, Indiana Ohio,
Illinois, Pennsylvania or Maryland. The
abolition of the revenue laws he says, means
the cutting off of $11O Oo0, 600 of revenue an
nually, which would put stop to further
reduction of the public debt or else necessi-
tate the increase of import duties. Commits
sioner Evans says he will go right on collect
ing the revenue taxes in Virginia, and Ma
hone says he will carry the State.

THE STRIKE A FAILURE.

Pointing Out Some Mistakes Made by the
BrotherhOod's Committee.
Electrical Review.
The indications already point to a failure
of the great telegraphers strike. A variety
of causes easily foreseen, have conspired
against the Telegraphers' Brotherhood.
The ill-advised action of their committee in
precipitating the strike without even for q
day or two awaiting till the action of the
grievance committee of the Western Union
could be ascertained has largely alienated
the powerful support which might other
wise have been found for the movement in
public sympathy and interest In con-
templating so reckless an action where
the delicacy of the interests involved
is considered, the conservative public will
naturally feel more of alarm than
sympathy, and this with the natural
result of losing sight of whatever
merits the case and claims of the telegraph
ers may have. Again, it required to assure
success that the rush of outgoing employees
should be patent enough to make a clean
sweep, or at least enough to greatly pert urb
if not wholly dsconcert the current business
Vi tue lIHe-UnlS not only 10 give eclat 10 the
movement and confidence to the wavering
but as we'll to create that great public incon-
venence which would react in a pressure
upon the employers. But no decided result
of the kind appears, The companies appar-
emily keep up to and dispatch their ordinary
business without fragrant delay, and find in
the greatly decreased volume of business
which offers no more than their remain
ing or hastily secured force of oper-
ators can in one way or another dis
pose Of That the companies are helped
by a decrease in the public business is
natural result of the arguments made by
the strikers themselves. for of course one
otherwise using the telegraph freely will
stop and think before he ntrusts business
message with Its involved risk to the mis-
chances which the latter predict and
have made possible. All these things being
considered, it is not difficult to hazard the
prediction that the operators will soon again
be at their desks and the telegraph business
of the country restored to it normal condi-
ton. However useless, then, it may be to
regret the unnecessary expense and waste in
volved to all parties by the strike, il should
not be forgotten to accord the fullest SYM
pathy to those OF the unfortut ate operators
who have been rushed into the doubts diff
culties, and hardships OF strike by design
ing men engaged i'll promoting their own
selfish ends"

disappearance occurred here on Sunday even
ing. On that evening Col. James O. Churchill
vice president and manager of the Western

daughter Mary about II years old. On their

has yet been discovered. She was last seen
standing alone, about Z o'clock, at the front
gate of the family residence, No. 2737 Morgan

working on the case since last night and
every effort has been made by them and the

heard of her. She was a quiet, grave girl,
studious, devoted to music, and cared nothing
for male society. Abduction is the only

On adjacent farms, owned by Capt, Seamen, who
has large herd of cattle, one of which has died.
Both herds are in quarantine by order of the
