The approaching marriage ot the
daughter of General Rosecrans TO Coy
ernor rooic OF Montana, recalls alton
ton to the fact that "Old Rosy is still

tion, as, altiough he Is q brisldicr gen
eral OF tho United States army ON tho
retired list General RoseCrans Is register
OF the United states treasury. and Is
likely to hold that place until his four
year term has expired, 1t is a very easy
berth, with salary of 5000, and there
are consequently host of applicants for
1t. President Harrison does not consider
that IL would he q wise thing to
hy in the face OF the soldier influence by
removing the old hero, and SO ha con
tinues to act as register and draws the
salary. lie has made n very good oiii-
cial; much better than 1t was predicted
he would make when appointed, and no
body seems anxious to get rid OF him ex'
cept the men who want his place. There
Is some kind OF law ON the statue
books preventing a man from drawing
two salaries, and the court has recently
decided that General Adam Ba-
deau, who is retired officer,
forfeited his right TO such a
ting when he accepted the consulship
from President Grant, bu, General Rose.
Grams escapes on some technically On
state occasions. when the army officers
are expected to appear In public, the
general is conspicuous among them,
dressed in the full uniform of his rank,
and when the festivities are over he dons
his citizens clothes and resumes his
work at the desk al the register Office.
No one seems to bcgrudgc him his good
luck, and the general himself does not
complain. 1t is understood that when
his term as n government officer ceases
he will return to thc West that he loves

The Western members expressed their
opinion OF the bill In the following in
terviows;
Senator Dolph-I have not read the
bill yet sufficiently to venture an opin..
ion upon 1t, but will say that there Is
no question about the passage OF a tariff
bill before the adjournment of this scs-
sion of congress.
Senator Mitchell - There arc some
features Of the bill which may require
changing, but, generally speaking,
think it is n wise measure, and one that
will receive the approval of republicans
in both housei. We were sent here

will redeem our pledges. The agrioul-
tural classes in Oregon are delighted

industry.
Representative Hermann - / am in
favor oi tho bill as II stands. II Is
especially protective OF the interests of
the Pacific Northwest in particular. IL
embraces largely the principal produc-
tions and exports of Washington and
Oregon. and largely of Caliiornia--the
wool and the lumber. think we arc in
earnest in the desire to pass the bill.
Senator Squire--l am In favor of es-
tablishing the tariii. am not pre-
pared to speak definitely about the Nc.
kinlcy bill. ! certainly think that the
republicans are in earnest IN their pur-
pose TO revise the tariff, and that 1t will
be done pom sound protective basis.
Every body may not he satisfied with tho
new duties but that Is unavoidable.

than they are by the Mckinley bill.
think the republican party arc most
earnestly In favor OF prompted legisla-
ton upon the tariff, and are desirous Of
bringing IL on for speedy and decisive
action by congress- do not think tho
