II TIE FORTY thousand, or any large
number, of the textile operatives in Phils-
del phia who have petitioned Congress for q
reduction of the tariff on the necessaries OF
life. and for its entire removal from the raw
material npon which they work, live in Mr..
Raadalls district, that gentleman's OBJ
lection TO Mr.. Morrison's low tariff bill will
aba.e considerably but it is feared they
live in other parts Of the city. The petition
referred to demonstrates the fact that pro-
tect,ou does not protect labor. The only
conceivable reason why disinterested demo-
cratic Congressman should vote for high
taril would be that such tariff would
enhance the value of labor; and how they
can vote for it, as Mr.. Randall does, when
they know that such is not its effect, is what
they only can tell.

THE ELECTIONS.

The returns from elections held in the

by Independent or citizens tickets.
In Richmond, at midnight the democrats
conceded that the coalition ticket had been

THERE BEING no opposition to the regular
democratic ticket at tho election in this city
yesterday, tho voters did not deem it at all
necessary to turn out The vote, therefore,
was exceedingly small; but the whole demo-
cratic ticket was elected, az was the case in
Danville. In Lynchburg and Norfolk there
were strong contests, but the democrats
carried both cities The so-called reformers,
supported by republicans negroes and
knights OF labor, defeated the democratic
ticket in Richmond--as was to have been

Anarchists Interviewed.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Aoarchist August
Spies was seen in the county jail last night,
and upon being asked what he thought Of
his case now, said II don't think anything
about it excepting as n hoax, and | think
The capitalistlc papers ought to be suppress
ed Fit will do the capitalists any good, l
am satisfied TO lei them hang me now. My
sentiments, in tic past so freely expressed,
are less incenGiary than those Of the capt.
talistic press since the reccnt labor troubles
began. YOU must know that / don't care
for my life. They may take my life, and
they may take the lives iany ofmy friends,
but revolution nc nlar can hold down, and
If revolution breaks out, you will not be
able to suppress it. See the great French
revolution and other revolutions. Rsvolu-
tons pass over human laws and human be-.
ings, and their efforts. They don't care for
human beings and human power. So we
don't care for anything. Every revolution
has its great sacrifices, and if you want to
take my life you can do it. We did not
throw tue bomb. am quite sure that one
of the capitalists threw the bomb in order
to get rid of us--in order 10 have chance
TO jump on u.s." Spies further said if he is
hung it will only demonstrate what he has
always maintained-that the laws and con-
situation arc worthless. Eielden was next
seen, and declared that he was martyr.
He was not guilty, but would not be sur
prised if the police trumped up lot of evil

pie OF his own State, with obtaining his seat

by committee of the Senate, and that
though acquitted, it was only by a Scotch
