BarCelOna'S Uprising

The natureof the very serious dis
turbances among the Galatians, and es-
pecially in Barcelona, their beautiful
and chief city, is imperfectly under
stood to this day. All Geographic re-
ports from the Catalonian city were
closely censored, and now when trains
begin to arrive from 1t bringing BARGE
Iona newspapers the facts begin to
come out.
The uprising was no doubt brought
about by radical refugees working
upon the excitable temperament and
discomfort of the local people, and it
seems to have been directed against
both the state and the church. The
newspapers already received in Paris,
published in Barcelona, show that 35
churches and converts were burned
between July 26 and July 30. BARGE
Iona has long had not only a repub-
lican party but an anti-clerical party,
and it has been difficult, perhaps, to
tell the one from the other.
The government dealt with the rev.
olutionists with an iron hand. 1t drove
them into a central square, and then
artillery was freely used until surren-
der and dispersion were secured. The
surrender was followed by a drum
head courtmartial and the hangman
did the rest. The number of killed and
wounded was very large-how large
will not be known until men who were
on the spot arrive in some uncensored
news center.

What The Consumer VIII Get

The tariff bill, with all its bargains
and jobbery on its head, is now law.
It has been signed sealed and deliv-
cred. The benef1ciaries of the transac-
ton will be, of course the manufactu
ing trusts, for they are the inner circle
of protection and the republican party.
Let us see for a moment what the
consumer will get. He will get at least
dearer clothing. The rates in the
wooden schedule were not decreased,
and the duties on cotton goods were in
creased. In the depths of a star cham
Der conference the worsted crowd bar
gained with western wool-growing In
terests, and the common people are to
foot the bill. Clothing has already
been advanced in prices in anticipation
of the passage of the bill, and further
advances are expected in the trade, for
the interests are securely protected by
the rates against imports.
On articles of food, as well as of
clothing, the new tariff affords to the
people no relief at all. Perhaps the
most vicious changes relate to coffee
and gloves. Under the maximum and
minimum joker coffee will be In
creased at least cents a pound, sim
ply because Brazil levies export taxes,
and she cannot afford to change them.
An untaxed breakfast table, therefore,
disappears. The House rates on gloves
and hosiery are to be retained. They
are Littauer rates, and the plain peo-
pie will be called upon to pay increased
prices in order to enrich few manu-
facturers
The long and short of the matter is,
the cost of living under the new tariff
will continue to go up. The new tariff
will prove more and more unsatisfac-
tory each passing year, and a demo-
cratic House to be elected next year
will pave the way for the election of a
democratic President In 1912, and a
real downward revision soon after

IN UNION SQUARE.
I'D watson Glider.

BY Richard Watson Glider.
The birds comedy were playing,
In Union Square, this very eve,
And men and maidens homeward strayinS
Stopped at the fountain, could not leave,
AS back and forth the swallows dashed,
Into the leaping waters flashed,
Then flung away,
But to return and cut the spray
With crosswise wing In endless play
And II they rest
Momently on lily pad,
Where rise the waters to each Dreast'
OFF they wing on journeys mad
North south. east. west.
AS IL self-conscious in their giee
And glad that human eyes could sect
AS II they said, Awhile be glad!
Forget. We mortals, all ye may.
Forget last night, forget today,
Forget tomorrow.
Forget the blood stain on the pave,
Growing merciful'y dim,
Just outside the fountains rim.
Where O dazed boy in murder soiled
The passion of the souls that toiled;
Forget the haunting sorrow;
Forget the demagogs that rave
Forget the starvelings-all the pain
OF this strange world; forget 1t all;
Forget the thunder and the rain;
listen to the birds that call;
Get Joy from the glisten Of their wings;
Be happy with all happy things;
Just for a little time
Listen to the ailuring rhyme
But not too long, o. not too long

That We may grow more sure and strong.

Judge Mann, the prohibition candidate
Tor the democratic nomination In Vir-
ginia, may have won in yesterdays pri-
mary, but If so his majority will be very
small. A Virginian now living in Biz
mingham said last night:
Il am against prohibition and have
been hoping that Tucker, the local option
candidate. would win the nomination; but
Mann, the avowed prohibitlonist, Is
backed by the democratic machine, and
the fact that a considerable percentage
OF liquor men lined up with this prohibit
ton candidate at the close of the cam
paign makes it look as II the machine
leader had promised that in the event
of Mann's election the saloon interests
would be taken care of. In other words,

Women In the Schools

The public schools of the country
now have 358,ss4 women to 11s,354
men teachers. No one should assume
that the women teachers are to be
found in the kindergarten and the
lower grades only. They teach in the
grammar schools, in the high schools,
and principalships are not beyond
them. The election of Mrs. Ella F1agg
Young to the highest executive posi-
ton in the public school system of the
second city in the union Is not there
fore surprising. What Chicago has
done other cities may do as the occa-
sion arises. At any rate, the election
of Mrs. Young opens all positions In
public schools to aspiring and compe-
tent women.
There are those who win say that
boys who are passing from boyhood to
manhood hould not be nodded by fem
inine ideals-that boys natural aspi-
rations cannot be brought out in that
way. Critics who think in this way
say that manly qualities cannot be de-
veloped under feminine rule.
This Is, however, an academic prop
osition only. There is no evidence "
support 1t. The critic who would push
aside women teachers would logically
dtslodge the mother, who, after all, is
tho chief trainer of the growing boy.
It is safe to say that women teachers
nave come to stay, and the election Of
Mrs. Young in Chicago will promote
the elevation of women to any position
in the public schools that she can sat
isfactorily fill. The work of the future
will take no harm through the training
of boys by women in the public schools.

Trucking In Jefferson.

There is a good deal of truck farming
in Jefferson county, but not as much as
there should be- said DIR. Arnold Mas
berg of the Jacobs pharmacy. II bought
IA acres of land just outside of North
Birmingham last winter. 1t lies well for
plating, but l will hold 1t for few
years before turning 1t into building
sites and will in the meantime raise veg
etables on it. A house stands on the
property and truck gardener who works
the farm for me lives there. OF the
IA acres II are under cultivation and
truck crops are being raised this sum
mer.
Jefferson county is one Of the best
trucking counties in the state, and If

business enterprises are more profitable
when conducted intelligently and with
reasonable industry. it will pay here. The

Whisky and the Deficit

The increase in the number of "dry"
states and dry" counties is beginning
to be felt in federal receipts. The re-
port of the commissioner Of internal
revenue covering the last fiscal year
will show a consumption Of 100000
less gallons of whisky and about $780,
900 less barrels Of beer. These reduc-
tons resulted in less revenue by about
IS, 100000. 1t must be remembered,
however, that the increase in revenue
from the liquor tax for the year end
ing June 30, 1907, was a record break
err. In that year there was gain of
about $50, 100000, whereas the normal
gains had been at the rate of not over
Sc. 900 900 a year.
The falling off this year In part &C.
counts for the fact that the deficit In
July was s13 100000, despite the rush
In importations to anticipate the new
tariff. The customs receipts in New
York alone were $4,000 larger than
they in June last, and $4,000 900 in ex-
cess of the receipts Of June, 1908.
The truth seems to be that losses
of revenue due to prohibition In
the south and west are neutral
izing gains in customs revenue,
and that this will go on until the def
cit is increased to point where a
bond issue will become imperative. 1t
seems to be questionable whether a
bond issue can be postponed until Con-
gress meets next winter, for the work
ing balance of the treasury Is now
down to $35, 739, 900. To this should be
added s3s 1000, 900 still on deposit with

The Iron Market.

Iron makers are feeling Jubilant over
the strong tone of the market Tne
price is upward and It Is generally be-
lieved that a $14 level will soon be
reached. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Gin
cinnati report for the current week
says:
THE time-worn expression 'midsum-
mer du1lness. finds no response In the
iron situation at the present time.
The market is active and strong; the
southern producers are more general
" together on the same basis of mini
mum figures which are in advance OF
over two weeks ago, and are still very
slow in Offering for any extended de-
livery
The number of furnaces withdrawn
from the market is practically I'M
changed, and the strong position OF
southern iron is emphasized.
Sales of northern iron in this ter
ritory have been good and confined al
most entirely to spot transactions or
the taking care of consumers needs
up to January l. Prices are sitter, and
in some instances are in advance of
those OF a week ago. 1t is now gem
orally admitted that. with conditions
as they are and the agricultural out
look practically assured 1t will be
case of general advance all along the
line, with good late-summer and fall
business.
THE first half of the year being
over, and in retrospect the reports
show that, during that time produc-
ton was 100000 tons which is al
most twice as great as the first half
production of last year, and 1t Is pos
sible to figure with some degree of
accuracy on the probable total produc-
ton during 1909. Tho second half of
1908 produced 100000 tons more than
the first half and the first half of 1909
is slightly more than 100000 tons
excess over tho July to December
period of 1908 Another 100000 tons
gained during the last half of this
year would be close to the best half
year yet, and would make our total
output 100000 tons.

Cooke is strong without change, and
