SPIES PERJURY.
A FALSE STATEMENT ABOUT THE
FATAL BOMB.

CHICAGO, August IO,--The Daily News charges
Spies, the anarchist with having committed wilful
perjury during his testimony yesterday. In its
leading editorial the News says: If the remainder
of Spies testimony is as false as that relating to
the age of the bomb which he gave to the reporter
of the News last January, the whole is as audacous
piece of perjury as was ever uttered In court of
justice. The bomb was brought direct from the
hands of Spies to this Office. The writer handled
and examined it, and enquired IA the circum-
stances under which it was obtained Any testi-
mony that such bomb had laid in the Arbiter
zeiung office about three. years, as sworn to
by Spies is absolutely, Enthusiastically perjury. 1t
bore upon its leaden sides the proof that 1t was
fresh from the hand that made it. II was com
posed of the same mixture of lead and tin az the
bomb exploded at the Haymarket massacre. Such
bombs come from mold in which they are cast,
with rough dull colOred exterior.
In the case of the one given to the News reporter
by Spies, this rough rind had been raeped or filed
away until the whole shone with the brightness of
newly cut metal Its sides bore traces of where the
teeth of the file had bitten into the metal. For any
man to pretend bomb bearing such palpable evil
dence of recent manufacture had been knocking
about in an anarchist newspaper Office for three
years, is to insult intelligence. When he goes fur
ther, and swears to such a pretense, he commits
willful perjury.

The Globe Democrat correspondent
who telegraphed the account of the
mass meeting at Hillsboro last Mon
day is evidently the hired henchman
of the Thomas faction. He mixed his
"facts" in a wonderful way. For in
stance, while claiming the Thomas
men were in the majority, he says
that the Emerson men were "caught
in trap" when they voted for the
motion to let the matter be settled by
township primaries at some subsequent
time! IF the Emerson folk were in the
minority how could motion postpon-
ing the time for selecting delegates be
q trap" set for them? The fact is, the
Thomasites were afraid to "count nos
es," and hoped to make a better show
ing at later day. If they can make
votes at the same rate they have been
manufacturing slanderous lies for the
past two weeks, they will no doubt
drum up majority at the primaries.

THE GREAT MEETING AT HILLS
BORO.
Great Excitement.

We learn that the meeting in Hills
boro on Monday, the Sd, to elect dele
gates to the Judicial Convention, was
the most immense gathering that ever
convened in Southern Missouri.
1t was estimated that there were be-
tween 1900 and 1000 people present.
The crowd filled the courthouse yard
and the streets; they were on the fenc-
es, horse-racks, and on houses, so that
it was believed to be impossible to d.
vide it or tell who had the majority,
though an attempt of half an hour was
made to do so by Col. O'Fallon. He fl
nally adjourned the meeting and the
delegates will be elected on June 18th
by primary elections held in each town
ship.
The immense crowd was supposed to
be nearly evenly divided between
Judge Emerson and Judge Thomas,
though Judge Emerson IS friends insist
ed they had $50 to 200 majority if a bal
lot could have been had.
1t is alleged that the /. NJ. r. r. Su-
perintendent, KEENAN,, was present
with a Thomas badge on, and had as
many of his men with him as he could
control, working for Judge T.; that he
ran two trains to carry Thomas men
free; that the Crystal City Glass Co.
shut down and sent out over 400 of
their hands, under their foremen, in
structed to vote for Judge T.-many of
them unnaturalized foreigners and
many of them Republicans. Rankin,
hburn, and other rank Republicans
of De Soto, we are assured, were con-
spicuous leaders of the corporation
forces. Notwithstanding all this, the
free and unfettered Democracy-the
masses of the people-were in the ma
jority, and in all the vast crowd, we
are told, not quarrel or disturbance
occurred. Law and good order prevail
in Jefferson county, even though the
corporations do make this open bid to
get control of the judiciary of our State.
Hands off, gentlemen! you may have
captured our Supreme Court largely,
but we must have Circuit Judges free,
impartial and independent-frien of
the people.

Labor and Capital.

But little real progress can be made
in social economy, or i'm improving
our present social conditions, until we
get rid of the idea of any conflict be-
tween labor and capital. If we study,
but little while, we shall see that
both are one and the same thing, and
hence their interests are the same. OF
course the man who has a great deal
of capital seems to have an advantage
over the man who has little or none;
but when we come to notice closely the
