DIVIDED AS NEVER BEFORE

Not for many years have the republic
cansin both branches Of congress been
so widely divided as today. The breach
between the insurgents and regulars in
house and the progressives and regulars
in the senate is so wide as not to he
healed by ordinary means. The predic-
ton is freely made that unless eXtraOr-
binary measures are employed, the next
house of representatives will he
democratic.
In the house the insurgents appear to
be q constantly increasing body. The
vote on the tariff bill did not develop
their maximum strength. Then only
twenty republicans, representing eight
states voted with the opposition. The
actual insurgent strength is nearer
forty. On the other hand. the progress
sives i'll the senate do not seem to in
crease in numbers. The regulars there
are too firmly intrenched. Besides,
not by the people. Consequently it is a
foregone conclusion that the regulars
will continue to hold the upper hand.
The house pliItl the tariff bill by
twelve majority. Hll the republicans
six votes less they would have failed to
do so. With republican majority Of
fiftyfive they had Il margin altogether
too narrow for comfort. They are
somewhat concerned. too because the
insurgent strength comes from States
which must be Carried in order to con-
troll congress. Indiana, Kansas, Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin have fifty
two members in the house, more than
the present republican majority. If one
half these members should be lost, the
house would be democratic. These
states are extremely dissatisfied with
the new tariff bill.
fractional differences have been ex-
tending. They began in the last con-
Sress with the committee on rules.
They continued with the reelection
of speaker Cannon, which. it will be
remembered, was effected by the aid of
Democratic votes They now extend to
the new tariff law, which brings the
whole matter back To the people at the
polls in 1910. fractional differences
make the great middle west the battle
ground i'll the congressional elections
next year.--PennsylvaniaG Grit.

The milAmen of Washington hold a
meeting on the second Wednesday of each

decided that any advance in the price of
milk in bulk would be met by the retail
ers with the usual increase to the con-
sumner. Speaking of the matter this morn
ing. w. A. Hartranft. president of the
retailers association, said:
lit simply means that the winter price
to the family will be in effect one month
earlier than usual. Somebody has got to
furnish that money, and the increa Sc
means a lot to US Any one who pays
only cents a quart for milk after Octo-
Der / runs the danger of getting inferior
milk-or the milkman will run the danger
of not being able to pay his bills
From the 1st of October the milkmen of
the city will have to pay the farmers %
cents q gallon for milk and 80 cents a
gallon for cream. 1t is said by officers of
the retailers association that every dairy
