Pioneer Condenser Borden.

| Concerning Gail Borden, who invent ed the process of milk condensing in ! 1856, W. E. Curtis writes as follows in
 the last issue of the New York Farmer: Gail Borden, the inventor of condens- ed milk, was a remarkable man, who de- l voted the most of his life to riding the hobby of food preservation. He invent ed pemmican, the dried meat biscuit, which is carried as food by whalers, Arctic explorers and others who go into either the frozen or the torrid zones be- yond the reach of natural supplies. His idea was to prepare food i'll com pressed form, so that it could be easily carried by travellers across the plains of Texas without being spoiled by heat or dampness. He was the inventor of beef extract, and was engaged in manufactur- ing in Texas when he was driven out by the outlaws and greasers, who burned his buildings, shot his men and drove off his cattle
 Mir. Borden was native of Norwich, N. Y, where he was born in 1So2. lie moved to Indiana, where he lost hls health, and went down into the plne woods of Alabama, and afterward to Texas, where he became assoelated with Sam Houston and Davy Crockett in founding the republic of Texas. His family were the first white settlers upon the island now occupied by Galveston; he started that town and was the trst collector of taxes there under the repub- lie.
 He invented condensed milk in 1856, and had much difficulty in obtaining patent, because the examiners in the patent office at Washington insisted that milk could not be evaporated in vacu- um. He finally got his papers, and went into the business of manufacturing in Burrville, Conn.,, where his partner was Jeremiah Milbank, afterward asso- ciated with Alexander Mitchell in the construction of the St. Paul Railroad.
 The factory at Burrville was afterward abandoned, and new one established ill Wassaic, N. T., which is still rum buG SSCUllu WdS HI D1CWStCA N. Il . and the third factory was started in FL gin, Illinois, in 1865.
 The Civil War was a lucky thing for MT. Borden, because it created de- mand for condensed milk and advertised its merits. It was soon adopted on the ocean steamers, and was carried into mines, forests and construction camps, and is now used in every corner of the world.
 The industry in the United States con- sumes 600, ,000, ,000 pounds of milk year. ly and makes 5,000,0 900 cases of AS cans each There are more than 200 fac tories in the United States, all using the Borden process, and about 70 of them belong to the Borden company, situated in different parts of the country.
 The largest condensed milk plant in the world is in Dixon, H., which uses 300, 900 pounds of milk day; the sec ond largest in New Berlin, Chenango county, N. Y, and the third ill Elgin, which consumes about 100000 pounds of milk daily

Capitalists from a point near Boston have been investigating proposed route for an electric road which would extend from Great Harrington through North and South Egremont in this state to Green River, Austerlitz, Spen- eertown and Chatham, all New York state villages.

A Big Contract.

The O'Rourke Engineering Construc- tion Company, of which John F. O'Rourke, of Poughkeepsie Bridge fame, is the president, has been award ed the contract for all the excavation and foundation work of the New York Central tunnel improvement. It is something like a five million dollar contract, but we have not seen the exact figures. Mir. O'Rourke's great energy and ability have put him at the very front of New York's engineers and contractors, and it would not be surprising if his company should also obtain the contract for the great Penn syivania Railroad tunnel.-Poughkeep- sic Eagle. #ssa

NO ONE SiOE0 TARIFF.

II We are 10 have "protecuou" the
policy should be general aud no
tavoritism should be shown. Because
oranges, lemons, lines, pineappIes,
etc, are not grown in Massachusetts,
or Connecticut, and are grown in
Florida, that is no reason why Cuba
should ship them in free. All or none
should be fed with the protecting
spOOn.-Ocala Banner.
That is good logic, but the trouble
seems TO be that the oranges, lemons,
etc, have no friend at court to speak
up for them. Besides, isn't the Ban
ner conceding that protection is Il
good thiug.--Pensacola News.
1t does not appear that the Banner
cOrcedes that protection is a good
ing, but rather that if protection is
to be given on articles of produce.
which the consumers in Florida have
to buy, why should not the burden be
lessened by protective tariff on pro-
duets which Florida has to sell?
Hon. Frank Clark makes his posi-
ton very plain on this point. While
he does not surrender his views or
concede that protection as a policy is
a benefit, yet he declares that if he
goes to congress and finds that there
is to be no change in the policy he
will act in the capacity of friend at
court" and insist that Florida pro-
duets should not he placed at dis.
advantage. This is good logic and
good sense.-St. Augustine Record.

NOT a PLEASING PICTURE.

Tue ralIrOau commission OF fIOTlOa
has had a legal existence for con-
siderable number of years.
During its life all interior to gns in
the state-stretching along 700 miles
OF territOry-have been sacrificed to
/ the building up of few seaport
. cities.
The development of these Interior
/ towns into cities is impossible on ac-
count OF unfair freight rates.
For long time the commission ex-
/ cdsed itself on the ground that it did
not lave judicial power, and hence
was unable to enforce its DEGREES and
il asked the Legislature to strengthen
its hands 10y giving to it this power,
which was done, but complaints are
made against it just the same.
Under existing freight rates, which
have the approval of the commission,
merchants say that il is a matter of
impOssibility for any interior city in
Florida to do wholesale business IN
competition with seaport cities.
One after another that has attempt
ed it has either had To 90 out OF bust
ness or else pull up stakes and move
bag and baggage to one of our sea-
port cities.

freight rates against which our iD-
terror cities have to contend We re-

commission II ia full force and all
our candidates for office have declared
in favor Of lis continuance in power
What right has il to public favor and
why should it not be abolished?
What protection is it giving the in
terror cities?
Our phosphate shippers, our vege-
table shipper, our lumber shippers,
all make complaints of one kind or
another about our unfair freight rates,
SO why should people living ia the in
terror favor the continuance of the
commission?
Every merchant in the interior,
with whom We have cOnversed on the
subject, does not hesitate 20 say that
his frelghts are higher now than be-
fore the commission wa established.
SO why should We in the interior
tear OCr shirts hAllOahiug for it?
When our candidates for office
come around and with II grand
flourish of trumpets say that they
favor the continuance of the railroad
commission, ask them on what
grounds aud for what reasons?
1t is our judgment that the candi-
date for office who will boldly declare
that he favors the abolition Of the
railroad commission will b. a wiz
ner.
The commission has been a failure
and a disappointment.
