Rioting Ln Lisbon;
 Troops Mow DolDn People.

London, June 21.-Dispatches from Lisbon via Madrid to The Daily Mail announce that serious rioting has oc- cured in the Portuguese capital, in which many persons were shot down by the soldiers. The dispatch is un- dated, but the iiot referred to is one that was reported two or three days ago as rather insignificant affair.
 The trouble which grew out of the act of the King in dismissing parlia- ment and instituting government by decree, occurred on the return to Lis- bon of Senor Franco, the premier who had made journey to Oporto in the hope of securing popular endorsement of his policy. A furious riot, it is said occurred outside the railroad station in Lisbon during which the cavalry charged the mob and the infantry fired

To Open Rifle Range.

Col. R. R. DuMont and Captain John Callahan of the 1st Regiment have been appointed a committee to formu- late a program for the formal opening of the South Alabama rifle range near Daphne. July 4.
 The program is in course of conn pletion and while 1t includes the Mo- bile battalion Of infantry. there is no doubt that other companies in the regi- ment wil send large teams to the event. There is little doubt that the range will be in readiness. in fact. 1t was said by Captain Van Alew, regimental quar- termaster, that It would be completed and ready to turn over to the regiment by July 1st. three days before the time set for the opening ceremonies.
 There will be target practice by company, team and individuals, and it may be that small prizes will be offer ed

URGE CELEBRATION
PREss COMMITTEES CONFERs WITH | COMMERCIAL. CLUB.
Directors Of Business Body Heartily Receive Recommendation For More General Observance
 Of Fourth of July.

The Board of Directors of the Com mercial Club met last evening at o'clock in the parlors of the club on Court Square and had an interesting and entertaining discussion on ques- tions of Montgomery's interest
 Nearly all of the directors were pres ent at the session, which took up about three hours of time.
 One of the first matters to be pre- sented to the ,club was furnished the directors by a committee from the Montgomery Press Club, who urged that the commercial organization par ticipate in the endeavor to make the Fourth of July celebrations In this city one of the greatest events of the year. The Recommendations of the commit tee was given a hearty hearing. though the club, in view of the fact that the celebrations would be at the time of the annual meeting of the commercial clubs of the State. could take no deff- nite action at this time.
 Special cognizance of the secommen- dations, however, was taken by the directors, who thought that idea of a general observance of the day good one and one likely to prove productive of good results. It was thought that the custom should be more generally adhered to of observing the day of the declaration, and with this icea in mind 1t is looked upon as quite likely that next year the celebration will be par ticularly boosted.
 Much of the time of the directors was taken up last evening. also, in discussion of the visit of the Alabama Press Association to Montgomery, which Is to come off in July Tho mat ter was referred to committee for con- sideration. to report back on Thursday of next week.
 The following members were elected to the club: D. V. Larkin, James D. Haralson, w. N. Barefeld, Thomas s. stephens. Henry c. Crenshaw George M. Powell, Jr.. H. A. Clarke !. H. Fried, c. c.

 The people fought with stones and held their ground bravely for hours. Women with their aprons filled with stones supplied the men with the mis- siles and urged them on.
 The dispatches say that on Thurs day there was public mourning for the dead.
 Thursday night there was a renewal of the trouble, and the troops again fired on the people, injuring many.
 The situation is reported as grave. as the spirit of revolt is widespread. A censorship is said to have been estab- lished.

said In substance "Can any one explain
why our merchant marine commenced to
fade away from the seas about the year
1860. when prior to that time it had been
such an important factor in commerce
upon the high seas?
The question is not difficult one to an
swer. Prior to that time we had free raw
material for ships. because prior to that
fine ships were built out of wood. and
our forests were full of material free 70

the last century they commenced to roll
iron in England, and as soon as they did
that persons and firms engaged in that
business In this country insisted upon a
tariff against the rolled iron Of England
in order that they might continue ham
rnering out iron until their establishments
fell into decay.
They got tariff that was exclusive.
and they continued to hammer out iron
until. In 1855, the first iron Cunarder
plunged across the Atlantic ocean, and It
became apparent at once that the ship OF
the future would be an iron ship. But our
factories, protected by protective tariff,
had been hammering iron. They were not
prepared to roll iron, and SO. with our
mountains fun of iron ore We were un-
prepared to build iron ships. For sixty
years England had been rolling IRON and
she commenced to build iron ships, and
our supremacy upon the high seas COM
menced to fade away at once It was on
account of the fact that we had no free
raw materials for ships. It was on &C
count of the pernicious effect of the pro-
tective tariff. We are building today more
wooden ships than any other nation In the
world We are building today more wood
en- ships than we ever built but wooden
ships are obsolete on all the seas Of the
world except in our coastwise trade and
these benevolent navigation laws, supple
menting the high protective system OF this
country, exclude from competition with
our own vessels the iron vessels owned by
citizens of other nations. So, as result
of the fact that we We're not prepared TO
roll iron in 1860 and that our navigation
laws keep the iron ships Of England from
competing in our eoastwise trade, we
have in our coastwise trade feet OF
worthless vessels. wooden vessels nearly
all of them. adding nothing to the COM
mercial Importance of this country and
doing us no good in time of war

oiIIespie's Opinion.


Everybody familiar with Washing
ton affairs knows that Texas has one
Of the strongest delegations In the
house. One Of the growing Texans is
Oscar w. Gillespie. He is young. ca
pable. courageous, industrious and ag-
gressive. So far as know he is
the only man that ever caught Hon.
John Dalzell of Pennsylvania mapping.
Gillespie's resolutions Of investigation
into trust matters brought him into
much prominence during the last con-
gress. This dispatch shows that he
knows how to use vigorous English:
Washington April Representative
Oscar w Gillespie of Texas. member Of
the house committee on banking and cur
rency. speaking of the action of Secretary
Cortelyou in coming to the aid of Wall
street in its two recent fiurries, said:
IF any other president except Roose-
welt had turned the treasury over to Wall
street as Secretary Corteyou has done, 1t
would be denounced from one end Of the
country to the other. Wall street IS now
claiming 1t wants the government to pay
SIS 900. 600 government bonds, due July l.,
on the ground that this will ease the
money market
my deliberate prediction is that just as
soon as the panic IS past Wall street will
demand that refunding bonds be issued;
that this debt be not paid, but simply re-
newed. OF course the debt ought to be
paid With a surplus of $3.50 600, 600 in the
treasury this debt and all others ought to
be paid This surplus is ample enough to
pay for the digging of the Panama canal
as we proceed and when finished not owe
one cent on ii If Wall street would per-
NIT it.
"Instead of such sensible plan we re-
uuire the secretary of the treasury, as
soon as he makes payments on the canal,
to issue bonds to recover the money paid
into the treasury.
THE Aldrich bill passed at the last ses-
sion Of congress turning over to the banks
the customs receipts, as well as internal
revenue receipts. as heretofore practiced,
was at the demand of Wall street. This
takes out of the hands of the government
the control of the gold supply.
They say we need no such control, be-
cause all Of our money is upon a gold
basis This is true in theory. but not in
fact We have declared by statute for the
gold standard. but have not provided any
gold supply for meeting the gold obliga-
tons of the government, except the $780,
O00, 900 to pay upon demand the $3a6 COO
in greenbacks. But under the ruling of
the secretary of the treasury, from Mr..
Carlisle down, every silver dollar is re-
deemable on demand In gold, as we'll as
every national bank note.
Nobody will have any difficulty in as
certaining what Gillespie is driving at
His statements are clear as crystal.
He might have added that the treasury
department has been run as an adjunct
TO Wall street for many years.

Bitinu Their Thumbs.

Alack and alasl The lord of Skibo
castle has fallen afoul Of the wielder
in chief of the big stick and if he does
not keep both optics skinned is liable
indeed, quite likely-to be clapped into
the Ananias club or something equally
bad. Andrew Carnegie made bold at
the great peace powwow in New York
to take issue with President Roosevelt.
which is certainly case of leze mai
esty and calls for condign punishment.
Now Andy and Colonel Roosevelt bite
their thumbs at each other as they
pass by. Too bad that these palpitat-
ing patriots should come to the parting
Of the ways. for were they not cheek
by jowl on the great and burning ques-
ton of simpl5fied spelling? On that
subject they were
Two souls with but a single thought.
Two hearts that beat as one.
No doubt it was Andy who inveigled
the president into issuing that celebrat-
ed order to the public printer which
the congress turned down good and
hard.
BY the way. the dove of peace did
not spread her wings to any consider
able extent over that New York assem-
bIage in the interests Of peace. Two

Bav state Politics.

The fact that Ex-Governor William
Z. Douglas of Massachusetts, has an
nounced his willingness to accept a
Democratic nomination for governor
next fall undoubtedly indicates that he
believes he can be elected. and his
faith seems to be cheering the old Bay
State Democrats amazingly 1t will
be remembered that in 1904 while
Colonel Roosevelt carried Massachu-
sets by nearly 100000 majority Doug
las carried it by about 10000. In 1905
and 1906 he declined to be candidate
for the gubernatoria nomination. Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, Jr.. who is now
serving his second term and who IS
said to covet the Republican vice pres
idential nomination, will unquestiona-
bly, be nominated for third guberna
torial term, as that is the habit In
Massachusetts So that II Douglas
and Guild make the race the prize Will
be not only the governorship, but a
vice presidential nomination also, for
If Douglas wins in the fall the chances
are that he can have the Democratic
vice presidential nomination by saying
that he viii accept 1t, and II Guild
loses the governorship he will be out Of
the running for the vice presidential
nomination.

An Eye Opener For Stand Patters.

The shouting of the Republican cap
tains in the Roosevelt Foraker feud.
the Roosevelt Hartman feud and in
other feuds in which Republican big
wigs are INDUCING has somewhat OBJ
scured the questions of tariff revision
and reciprocity temporarily, but never
theless and notwithstanding these
questions, like the poor, we have with
us always and will have until they are
settled right Even so stanch stand
patter as Hon. John DalzelI of Pitts
burg is beginning to sit up and take
notice. He recently stated that while
he could see no reason for revision of
the tariff himself. there is such wide
spread demand for it that he supposed
something In that line must be at
tempted just after the Inauguration Of
a president March 4, 1909. Even that
is wonderful concession from Broth
er Dalzell.
The following dispatch may set other
stand patters to studying the situation
in new light:
Chicago, April 1S.-Tariff revision along
the liHCS VI IcS4pf0IltJ Will S<dli1uH dlid
the countries of South America was IA
vorably discussed at the convention of
the Millers' National federation today.
An amendment to the pure food law re-
quiring that the weight of each package
of food product offered to the public be
printed on the outside of the package was
also favored. Yesterday the convention
reelected the twelve directors whose
terms had expired. Today, however, this
action was rescinded and a number of
new directors were chosen. This action
was taken because it was held that the
association might become unprogressive
on account of the constant service of the
same directors.
Now, the sort Of revision which Mr..
Dalzell and his coworkers would bring
about would not scare the stand patters
out of a years growth. Quite the. con
trary, for his plan is to conf1ne reci-
procity to reciprocity in noncompeting
articles. which is next to nothing, while
the millers' convention mentioned in
the foregoing dispatch is in favor Of
reciprocity in competing articles. So
wags the world, and so are issues TAX
ing shape.
