800, 0o0 workingmen; some authorities put it
as high as 100000. The knights contribute
ten cents per week for the benefit of the

the lnemen, without whom the telegraph
companies will soon find themselves involved
in hopeless entanglement There are
probably 2. 900 linemen in the employ of all
the telegraph companies Their duty is to
string new wire and TO keep the lines in
working order. In cities especially, where
hundreds and sometimes thousands OF wires
are strung, they are continually getting
tangled, currents breaking, and disturbances
liuemen very soon locate trouble and
straighten Things out but new men would
be working in the dark. Let there be storm

delphia Chicago, or any other important
news or commercial center, and the wires
could not be put in working order again with
out the help of trained linemen in two week,
and the result would be entire suspension of
busness-an interruption that would amount
to entire suspension. Let the strike contin-
ne until both sides get fighting, and as they
are liable to do after awhile a single vicious
lineman could do 100000 damages in a
night, and destroy wire that could not be
replaced in two or three weeks. | look TO see

desperate effort to make their big bluff win

monopolist is confronted by organized intel
ligence, as well as organized labor, and he
has met his match. He has got under West
ern Union stock to keep it up and he will
doubtless keep it up to the last. but if the
strike is maintained long, rival lines will get
the business, and he will have to sacrifice his
other holdings to take care of his telegraph
company. We have him at a disadvantage,
and we are going to keep him there"

Of all the varieties of winter radish that
we have tried the most acceptable is the
Chinese rose-colored winter" This. when
well grown, forms a root about five inches
long and two inches in diameter at its broad
est part, the lower end. The skin is OF a
bright, clear rose color, aud is marked with
transverse lines of white The flesh, though
somewhat firm, is, when well grown, crisp
and tender and i'll this respect as well as in
flavor, more nearly resembles the early
radshes than do any other winter varieties.
If properly kept they have a freshness and
crispness that make them welcome to all
who like radishes Winter radishes are

THE STRIKERS PROGRAMME.
The Reserve Cards, and How 1t Is Proposed
to Play Them

Boston Journal
1t is now evident that there will be long
fight and test of endurance The Brother
hood proposes, therefore, one by one to bring
its reserved forces into the struggle. The
proposed moves in brief are as follows: A
strike of the cable operators will soon be
ordered These men are all enthusiastic
members Of the Brotherhood, and, it is
learned, that for a very excellent reason
they have been directed thus far to remain
at their posts, but they are ready to go out
at an hours notice. The railroad operators
may at any time be ordered out This
has not yet been DONE because the Broth
erhood has no desire to injure the rail
road service or any interest outside that of
the telegraph companies, unless compelled
to carry their point. Again, there is danger
of an order to the most skillful band of oper-
aters in the country to quit work-the men
who man the Associated Press and other
news wires. These men are all members of
the Brotherhood, and are paid good salaries
by the concerns leasing the wires. 1t is
stated on the authority of the executive
board that these men will be ordered out
only as last resort and in order to still
further deplete the small Western Union
force which would have to supply the men
TO take their places Telegraphic news would
he meager, indeed in case of such an order,
for there is no doubt that every man would
promptly obey the mandate. Operators on
private brokers' wires for the same reasons
would be included in any such order to the
press operators,

COMMISSIONERS EVANS.


The Report that He Is To Be Removed
Purely Sensational.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, July A-There is nothing
whatever in the report set afioat here yester-
day, and telesraphed to some Western papers,
that Commissioner Evans is to be removed
and the place given to General Veach. or any
other many. The story is purely sensational.
Commissioner Evans got wrong start some
how with correspondents and Others, and he
finds himself unpopular, with an enemy that
has caused him great annoyance, and will
doubtless continue to make it unpleas-
ant for him in the future. 1t
is not at all unlikely that dead
set will be made to defeat his
confirmation next winter. His relations
with the President remain quite friendly
however, and there is the best authority for
saying that the President does not dream Of
making change i'll the office. His critics
find amusement in the failure of the reve-
nue. bureau to detect the frauds perpetrated
on the government in gauging ten-gallou
packages of whisky under the new law, q
fraud exposed by the distilIers themselves
and one which would have cheated the gov

Indications that Mr.. Randall Is Response
BILE for the Agitation.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGroN, July 4-Tnere are good
reasons for believing that the old ticket
boom was started by Sam Randall to draw
attention from the tariff issue, which will
defeat him for Speaker, if anything. 1T is
one of Randall's tricks" said friend of
Carlisle. About the time Watterson tele-
graphed his paper concerning Tilden's re-
business and agilits as a stair-climber, there
appeared in the Philadelphia Times and
Judge Hoadly's paper in Cincinnati an in
terview with Bill Sect Tilden's financial
manager in 1876 confirming Watterson' $
story of Tilden's surprising coltishness, and
very strongly limiting that he was in the
field for a denomination. The interview was
in the form of a telegram from Sara
toga, and pnrported to be- the views
of Tilden's financial hacker. SCOTS
name was not given as authority
but as the telegram closed with a detached
paragraph to the effect that he was in Sara
toga, there could be no mistaking the person
meant The next day both Watterson and
Charles A. Dana denied the authenticity OF
the interview; but, strange to say the denial
failed to travel us fast or as far as the inter
view, and it is being generally accepted that
Tilden is candidate. Dana and Watterson
keep right GA denying that their patron is a
candidate, but it is assumed by common con
sent that the artful old dodger is fooling
them, and it is recalled that precisely the
same tactics were employed in 1876 and 1880.
Within the past few days Dana's deniils OF
| Tilden's candidacy have been growing less
emphatic, and hts sketches of the lusty sage's
vigor are couched in stronger language.
He is getting ready for flop is
the comment heard on every side 1 heard
a man offer to bet to-day that Tilden would
be seen on horseback on Broadway in less
than a week, and shouldn't be surprised if
he would make that play. even though he
should have to be strapped on his horse or
glued to the saddle.
There is other circumstantial evidence 1
am not at liberty to state that convinces me
that Randall is at the bottom OF the whole
business. What he probably intended as a
play to drive public attention from himself
and his methods for the moment has panned
out better than he could have wished, and if
the cry is kent up much longer free trade
and protection will be lost sight of in the
excitement over the old-ticket ISSUE"
