A DANGEROUS Combine.

The rivalry in New York between
the Republican factions is SO mixed up
with railroad and trust domination of
the G.. o. P. that 1t becomes of ma
tional interest. The frenzied finan-
ciers and the politicians have Joined
hands to control the political desti-
MES of the nation, but there is a con.
test between the two centralized
groups Of Wall street for supremacy.
On one hand are the Rockefeller-Har
riman group, with Odell as the politi-
cal leader, and these hope to see Fair
banks nominated for president; op,
posed to them are the Morgan-Van-
derbilt group, with Root and his
friends expecting to dictate a succes
sor to Platt for United States senator
and the control of the delegation to
the next national convention. No
wonder the voters of New York repu-
dated both factions at the last cleo.
tion and are looking to the Democ.
racy to preserve them from the cor
ruption and grating that naturally
follows the association of corporations
and political leaders.

Ownership Of National BANK.

The ownership Of the national
banks Of the United States is not in
the hands OF the rich few, as is com
monty supposed, because fully one
half of the banks have a capital of
less than 100000 each. Twelve per
cent. have capitalizations OF from
100000 to $260,o0o, while only seven
per cent. range between $3.50, 900 and
81 1000. 900.

pettv Graftinn.

The Republican machine that runs
the state Of Connecticut must con-
tain the most consummate set of graft
ers In the Union. Gov. Woodruff In
his inaugural address delivered before
the two branches of the state legis-
lature called attention to the big ex.
pense to the state for gratuities in.
Guiding those to newspaper men. The
item for knives and fountain pens for
members OF the assembly of the last
legislature amounted to $15,531 and
for representatives Of the newspapers
$1,000. 1t must be presumed that
there was 4 big steal in the knife, and
pen items and probably in many other
things and that the graft to the news
paper men was to act as a bribe to
prevent exposure. The people Of Con.
necticut, with ali their Yankee thrift,
are certainly an easy mark for the
grafters. which shows that eternal Wig
ilance is the price Of low taxes.

BORAx IN THE DAIRY.

milk from stale" utensils as there is
between milk. and chalk and water.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used In connection with
milk and cream selling. and butter
making. has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint OF staleness left
in a can, tin or churn may ruin whole

The farmer has learned that hot ga

due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue OF its own which is, II any
thing. worse than the milk or cream
residue. and 1t is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few Of the largest creamery estab-
lishments have called experts into con-

with this scientific aid hit upon a prod

bill-Borax.
Scientists have long known Borax az
