THE AUGEAN STABLES.
How Secretary BristOw is Cleaning
Them Out.
Washington (July 81 Special to the Cincinnati

Washington duly 81 Special to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
Before taking his departurefor Ken
lucky to day Secretary Bristow gave
directions to Chief Clerk Avery to clean
ont the Treasury stables, about which
so much has been written. Up to the
time Of the exposure of the Williams
landaulet affair nearly every Govern
ment official was either riding In a We
hiclepurchasedw with Government money
or boarding his team at the expense
Of the National Treasury, and using
Government employees for drivers and
footmen. At one period last winter
the large stable on Fourteenth street,
owned by the Treasury Department,
was found too small to accommodate
the teams belonging to Treasury Off
Gals, and it was found necessary to
lease the adjoining premises for the
accommodation of the stock. Every
head of a division. or as they like to be
called, Chief of Bureau, had his car
rage and pair boarded at the Govern
ment's expense, and driven by a Gov
eminent messenger disguised IN livery.
When the story about Williams came
out, some of the more timid of these
bureau chiefs removed their teams
from the Treasury stables, but the
cheeky ones failed tOtake the hint, and
continued to steal up to date.
Secretary Bristow is every day dis
covering and stopping up leaks through
which Uncle Sans stamps have been
disappearing for years, unbeknown or
encouraged by preceding Secretaries.
When he entered upon the duties of
his Office, Mr.. BristOw found that one
bureau chief was absent travelling in
Europe, his salary going on at the rate
of five thousand dollars per annum,
while, at the same time, he was re-
ceiving for some sort of business as
signed him by Richardson an extra
compensation of twenty-five dollars a
day in gold and mileage. The new
Sccrctary's second official act (his first
being to examine Mullett On the sub
ject of architecture was to cut off this
European tourists remuneration and
order him home.

A WESTERN BLAST AT BEECHER.

strip from the most successful politico-
religious character of his age the flimsy
DISCUSSES under which he has so long
and so prominently figured. Mr..
Henry Ward Beec''-r is as logical an
outgrowth Of the current stateof society
as Pomeroy and Colfax were logical
products of the prevailing condition of
politics. His ministry is a queer mix

His religion is an odd compound of
dramatic godliness and attractive her.

ment. His congregation is body of
people who pay an enormous pew-rent
for the sake of being shocked every
Sunday, and, incidentally, to bein style.
AS for the man himself, he is one of
those preachers whom Carlyle would
call Gospel jugglers; proficients at

NEGRO SCHOOLS IN KENTUCKY.

All the expenses Of the common
schools provided for negro children in
Kentucky are paid direct from the
taxes collected from that class of pop
ulation. Even the white mans dog cs-
capes contribution. The negro school
fund is made up of the following items:
/, the proceeds Of the Is cents State
tax on property owned by the blacks;
,, the poll tax on voters of that color;
,. all taxes collected on their dogs; I,
all fines, forfeitures and penalties, col
lected from them, deducting the usual
fees Of officers; ;, all State taxes on
deeds, lawsuits and licences of that
class. In other words, every cent of
money raised from the negroes is set
apart FOR the education of their child
ren, and they do not contribute i nickel
To support the State government. The
whites are called on 10 educate their
own, and at the same time maintain
the blessings OF government Tor black
as well rs white. This is a liberal ar
rangement, but Tennessee has been
much more liberal, making no distinc-
ton, but Jumping all the school moneys
together, treating white and black
alike The Latter get their share in
proportion to scholastic population,
without regard to how little they con-
tribute to the fund from which they
draw. In view of the hard times in
town and country, brought about
mainly by the legislation of the party
with which the colored voters affiliate,
Trnnesseeans are certainly doing quite
enough Just now for negro rights.
