THE DAIRY FAIR.

Many people are interested in cheese almost
everybody il interested in butter, which is one
son why the late OlcOmargarine invention did
so come home to the business and bOsOms
of mankind. The International Dairy Fair at the
American Institute Is interesting to
GOOD hOusekeeDer as n mcnagerie or circus to a
child. IL has been judiciously, and we may add,
iudicially said that of butter there are but two
kiuds-the good and the bad. But of the good also
there are various 'bavors to suit various
tastes. In the dietary OF mankind, butter
long aao won and it has kept a distinguished place.
Grahamites have inveghed against 1t; Economists
have shown that ii Is an expensive luxury which
we could do well enough without; It's fuc-
tuating quality and the difficulty of securing
the finest have been against II; but it has
held its own both at the table and in the
kitchen while all the cpicures have admitted that
when it is at its best, sweet aud golden,
there is nothing like it. Bread and butter
are inseparable, and have passed into con-
iunct and affiliated phrase OF table which
gives both in PERFECTION 1t can justly be said
that it is i'll spread Some countries have won great
fame by the excellence of their butter, Holland and
Ireland. for instance others, like Spain, have
established bad reputation for an inferior
article. Here at home there are States andcounties
of States which have given their names TO brands
of butter Of supreme excellence. As for
cheese, we need not say that it Is a
very ancient edible. A Greek proverb as old as

TBR NtTJON1L SURVEYS.

The last ten years have been marked by a
great activity amcng the organizations de-
voted to Western geological and geographic
cal surveys. Professional ardQr, personal am

covery have driven the several corps to ex-
traOrdinary efforts and to incessant rivalry
Each one comes home, driven III before the
Winter snOw-stOms, with half dozen real
discoveries with calons in one pocket, gla-
cial ranges iii another, and books full of the
topography Of alps and deserts. Naturally
the spirit Of emulation among the different
parties has begun to change into one OF bit
terness and hostility, and we see already among
them the first demonstration of a death
struggle for supremacy. The Engineer Corps
of the Army points to its long record of
services, to the honor which belongs to it as
the pioneer in scientific exploration, to its un-
stained honor, It's economy with the public

The Democratic Senators have sOlemnly de-
termined not to oppose investigation into the
Southern frauds and Outrages. This is most
patriotic decision; also a wise One-it Is al
wavs wise to get off the track before the cow
catcher tosses you of. But they propose
that this investig cation shall not be One-sded,
but thorough and fearless; they want the
atrOcious frauds and Outrages committed III

the horrible intimidatOns to which office
holders were subjected during the last cam
pmgn shall be exposed. But alas not

The Afghans having evacuated Jelalabad,
the way is now open for the British troops,
from the mouth of the Khyber Pass to within
sevenly-eight miles of Cabul, the AmeerS
Capital. General Browne must feel strongly
disposed to advance from Dakka to
the deserted town, but as he would
in that case have to defend Inc
of eighty miles in order to maintain commu-
nIcatIon with his base at Pcshawur, he may
determine to halt until the Spring campaign
opens. The lighting in the Pelwar Pass
where General Roberts. with about 5000 men,
Is advancing in the direction OF Ghuznee Is
now of greatest moment inasmuch as
defeat would entail the destruction of his
small force, which, in defiance of military
axioms, is making a daring movement on its
own account. The evident intention of the
Ameer to abandon the frontier posts, how
ever, assures the British arms success III these
preparatory movements.
II any month in the existence Of one OF OuT
Boards Of Aldermen can be called the worst
the last month seems to attain that bad eml-
ucuce, just as the last session OF Congress
is always noted for the number and size OF
lis jobs. The majority of the present Board
puU their characters IN the clearest possible
hight before the public when they rejected,
some months ago. the highest bid for yalua-
bic franchise which ought not to have been
sold at all and then sold it to the lowest bid
der. But now, in the closing days or the
Board they seem to be very busy IN
doing something that bears suspicious
resemblance to the making of the largest pos
siDe amount OF hay ia the short time that re-
mains. General SpmOa's steam-heatng scheme
which they have tcrated before with peculiar
favor was the recipient of further extraOrdi-
nary attentions yesterday. The Mayors veto
OF the project was defied by the adoption OF
another bill TO the same effect, and, by an
other resolution, it was virtually decrced that
General Spincla should have no compcti-
tors unless the Board chooses to create
them. Then the Forty-second Street Railroad
was granted the right To run cars on the
Boulevard and the demand of the decent
minority of the Board, that the Company
should at least be required to pay a moderate
license fee, was rejected. The quantity Of
hay in all this must be something prodislous.

We might go into the poetry OF the subject il

low fever question in earnest. Not only has the
President given the topic q prominent
place his Message but even before its re-
ception resolutions had been submitted to the
Senate ordering joint committees for considering
tine best methods Of preventing the introduction
and spread Of epidemic diseases. The President
recommends National SANITARY Commis-
sion. with power 20 control quarantine
and 10 supervise internal commerce in times of
epidemcs. ANY doubt of the constitutioualJy OF
National quarantines is surely met by the ex-
igency of the demand for such legal regulation.
When it comes to 100000 cases Of yellow
fever and 10000 deaths, and the loss
of hundreds OF millions of dollars, the
National Government should more quibble
about the constitutOnaiity Of quarantine laws
than it did about a hundred petty Objec-
tons of a like nature raised during the
rebellion, Extraordinary troubles demand ex-
traordinary remedies. Any scruple about
the invasion of State rights is met by
the Presidents suggestion that the Ma
tional Sanitary Commission should hold
advisory relation to the State and Municipal
health authorities supplying whatever they are
unable to accomplish. There is a wide difference
Of opinion IN scientific circles respecting
the efficiency of quarantnes, some able
men holding them to be of little value
on a careful scale, while the Joint Committee pro-
vlded for by the resolutions before the Senate
might accumulate knowledge and evidence which
would be decisive upon the point.
And now it is the cotton fund in the Treasury
which is to be sequestrated by the paternalsts for
the purpose of providing " education for the Deo-
ple." Congress is always infested and infected with
statesmen " hose controlling idea is to transform
the General Government into general and spe-
eial providence, and " fund.- which isn't
chained fast to something very heavy is secure from
their annual attacks Hitherto the National edu-
Gators have been reaching after the net proceeds
of the public iands.' so long there were
any net proceeds and the Patent Office
surplus, which really belongs 10 the in.
yentOrs of the country and the interest
on railroad bonds, whenever any was paid.
OF course, il is well known that all these
would only furnish annually hundreds Of dollars
for thousands Of pupils But this would suffice tor
a small divide, and what is of more importance it
would be beginning-an establishment OF the
principle of central interference with the educational
machinery of the separate States Several bills Of
this purpot were introduced during the last session.

Secretary Sherman's request for prompt
legislation authorizing the issue of ten-dOlar
certificates Of deposit, is followed already by
the introduction in both houses of bills
to that effect. A limit is placed upon these
certificates, which the Secretary did not sug-
gest in his report they are to run from
SO up through multiples of that sum, but
not above 500. These certificates will afford
an easy means of investing small sums safely
they will bear interest at 1865 per cent, and
are convertible into certain classes of four per
cent bonds. It will be strange if they do not
prove popular.

The destruction of twenty villages and the
massacre of large number of people by
Turkish marauders will warn Europe that the
pacifcahon of Turkey is still distant As
the Bulgarans are now free, and armed,
they are not likely to regard these out
RACES with indifference. When next year they
have regularly organized government, they
will be able to speak and act on behalf of
their Macedonian kinsmen with still greater
emphasis.
