Mr.. BRIsTow, the new Secretary Of
the Treasury, begins well. He means
business; and unless he Is cneckmsted
as Secretary Cox was, he will soon de-
rrive the Treasury Department Of it's
reputation as " den OF thieves" The
latest exploit OF this modern HERCULES
is the cleansing OF the Treasury Depart
ment stables. A Washington special
says that up TO tbetime OF the exposure
OF the WILLIAMS landauiet affair, nearly
every government official was either
riding in 8 vehicle purchased with gov
ernment money, or boarding his team
at toe expense OF the National Treasury
and using government employees for
drivers and 'ootnen. At one period
last winter the large stable on Four
teenth street, owned by the Treasury
Department, WAS found too small 10
accommodate the teams belonging TO
the Treasury officials, and it was found
necessary to lease 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 carriage aud pair boarded at Gov.
eminent expense and driven by Cow
ernment messenger disguised in livery.
When the story about WILLIAMS came
ont. some OF the more timid OF these
bureau chiefs removed their teams
from the Treasury stables. but the
cheeky ones failed to take the hint, and
continued the g eal up to date.
Secretary BRIsTow has visited these
stables with his new broom and has
made clean sweep. Hereafter there
ill be no Iandsulets maintained at
overnment expense while BRIsTow has
te supervision OF accounts. The only
dncer is that, as in the
re OF Secretary Cox, the thieves
ny prove too strong for the Secretary,
al may thus shorten his term OF serv-
ic Already the Republican advocates
o''etorm are limiting that the bundle
of.ronss may heat be broken by taking
oustck up at time, and are caution
inMr. BRlsTov against too sudden
an sweeping attempt at reform
attn ADD honesty. The ides
sees to be that the present admlris-
traOD will not couuteDauCe q sudden
reitmation; complete swearing off
froi corrupt practices; and that the
tapping process is the only one that
can safely pursued in harmony with
the huences that govern at the White
Hop and at Long Branch. We shall

BUTTER IN FRANCE.-If our darymen
need spur, an eye-opener, lesson which
speaks volumes in three words, here is one
at the head of this article. Butter is actually
brought from France and sold by the New
York dealers. And this is thus because
there is an actual scarcity in the market of
good butter put up in attractive shape for
small consumers. When we know that one
dairyman gets s1.15 pound for his product,
another 81, and another IS cents the year
round. at his dairy door, it is easily seen that
it will pay to bring butter across the ocean
from France, if it is only good and shapely
enough to suit the fastidious purchasers who
will have nice butter whatever it may cost.
All this butter is made from choice cows,
choicely fed on clean sweet food, and the
milking is done In the cleapest manner.
The milk is handled as carefully as though it
was nectar; the cream is churned with the
utmost care by clock and thermometer. the
butter is worked with skill, and made up
into shapely cakes which do not require to
be cut when brought to the table. Compare
then, this cake-hard, OGDEN yellow, sweet,
fragrant and tempting to all the senses-with
| an unsightly chunk which is cut out Of a
| greasy keg, and smell of old and rancidity,
| and is made from ill-kept cream, from cows
! filthily lodged and carelessly MIXED, and Is
| churned anyhow, and the difference Is easily
| accounted for.-N. Y. Tribune.
