Old "Rosy" in Luck.

The approaching marriage of the daughter Of
Gen. Rosecrans to Gov. Toole of Montana, says
the New York Sun, recalls attention to the fact
that Old Rosy is still member of the Harrison
administration. Although he is a brigadier
general of the United States States army on the
retired list, Gen. RoSecrans is still register of
the United States treasury, and is likely to hold
that place until his four years. term has ex-
pired. 1t is very easy berth, with salary of
$4,000, and there are consequentlya host of ap-
phcants for it. President Harrison does not
consider that it would be wise thing to fly in
the face of the soldier influence
by removing the old hero and so he continues
to act as register and draw the salary He
has made very good Official
much better than it was predicted he would
make when appointed, and nobody seems anx-
ious to get rid of him, except the men who
want his place. There is some sort of law on
the statute books preventing man from draw
ing two salaries, and the court of claims has
recently decided that Gen. Adam Badeau who
is retired officer. forfeited his right 20 such
rating when he accepted the consulship from
President Grant; but Gen. Rosecrans escapes
on some technicality. On state occasions, when
army officers are expected TO appear in public

in the full uniform of his rank and when the
festivities over he dons his citizens clothes

luck, and the general himself does not com

government official ceases he viii return to the

Bullock on the Election sills.

Ex-Gov. Bullock, Of this state, has been
talking TO some Of the New York news
] papers about the bills in congress which pro-
vide for federal control of national and
congressional elections. He does not ap-
prove Of that feature of the bills which re-
| quires that before the proposed law
can become operative in any congressional
district a federal judge must authorize it
10 be enforced upon the request Of certain
number of voters. He favors Speaker
Reeds idea, which is to separate national
and congressional elections from state,
county and municipal elections, and place
the former wholly under federal control.
1t is probably true, as be points out. that
the Hoar and Lodge bills are intended to be
operative in the south and not in the north.
In the north the number Of voters neces-
sary TO enable federal judge TO place the
election IN any congressional district under
federal control could not be obtained be-
cause public sentiment would strongly
favor local control of all elections. In the
south, however, republican agents could
easily induce any number Of ignorant
black voters to sign pstition asking for
federal interference, and hence the south
alone would be subjected to a law that
really applied to the whole country.
If the country is to have national cleo
ton law it should not be lett optional with
the voters of any congressional district
whether or not it should be enforced in that
district If such a law is enacted it will be
by the votes of northern members of con
gress, and the north therefore should not be
given a chance to avoid compliance with it.
But why does Gov. Bullock want a
national election laws Does he not know
that even if national elections should be
separated from state elections the national
elections under federal officers would be a
source of trouble and dangers They would
be managed wholly by the agents of the
party in power, and it would be impossible
to make the people believe they were fair.
There are good reasons for saying that they
would not be fair. Returning boards,
wherever they have existed. have always
caused trouble. During the carpet-bag
period in the south they were responsible
for innumerable deeds of violence, and only
recently the returning board of Montana
deprived that state of its rightfully elected
senators.
Returning boards can hardly be otherwise
than strongly partisan. They are the in
struments Of the dominant party for keep
ing itself in power. If national election
law should be enacted the black vote would
be counted whether it was put into the
ballot-box or not. The Republican party
would justify itself for counting it by as
sorting that it was suppressed. even though
no evidence of its suppression existed.
Then there would be trouble, and very Sc
rioustrouble. The southern people would not
tamely submit to being robbed of their right
full representatives. If Gov. Bullock wants to
do his state and the south service he will
talk against, not for, national election
law, when the New York newspapers in
terview him.

His Appetite Disappeared.

ALLOW me to remark" said prominent citi.
zen to St. Paul Pioi.eer Press reporter the
other day, as he was showing his appreciation
of q cnoice piece of roast beef, THAT | once
put in six weeks in the city of Paris Nothing
remarkable about that, is theres But haven't
come to the point. In all that time never
succeeded in getting plain beef. There was
beef cooked in every possible way, beef dressed
with every kind of sauce. but no plain beef for
a change. Do you know had the same feeling
they say traveller in the tropics has-the tropi-
cal fruits may be luscious, but one longs for the
taste of an apple now and then-I wished for a
taste Of the roast beef hof hold Hepgland. How
do you explain its absence?"
Don't know, Judge, unless you lived on horse
meat, said companion.
The judges appetite for the beef in front of
him disappeared, aud soon after he was trying
to forget his feelings in the taste of tobacco
smoke.
