SOCIAL LIFE in WASHINGTON.


To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN
writer in Saturdays Star reviewing the social
life Of the Capital for the past winter, estimates
the success of the season az depending on
the number Of matrimonial engagements
accomplished. Now, when we remember
holing which men do in society for other men, of
whom they are seeking favors, we must protest
that the idea that society exists mainly for math-
monial ventures Is quite n mistake. But to make
this mistake Is perhaps forgivoablo, while another
statement which the star writer makes IS not. He
represents that young ladies come or arc brought
TO Washington, especially II they have money, for
the purpose Of going into society and getting hus-
bands, especially for the purpose Of getting them
from officers In the Army and Navy, whose posi-
tons always give them the entree into society, and
therefore such positions become an equivalent for
the lady's wealth.
SHADES OF cHGsus AND MOTHER EVE,

world, and sent them here TO govern the youths
and maidens Of our beloved Capital? II youhave

in spite of the sacrifices that country demands Of
the families of the Army and Navy. As for the
young ladies' who, according TO the writer in the
Star, visit Washington for the purpose Of getting
husbands, We hope they will not be as indignant
MS they might be ut this statement Especially do
we hope they won't stay away, for We can assure
them that Washington has q great deal that is
worth coming for besides getting husband aud,

TO tnc Eulloi OF lHE lNAFlbLlCANi
Having CHANGED to sec in THE REPUBLICAN,
some time ago notice of Colonel Ingersolls last
reception, at which discussion arose about Bacon
and Shakespeare, desire TO add single incident
One Of the gentlemen asked the Colonel what he
thought Of the Baconian theory, "ob," said he,
"that question was settled by u man In 81. Louis,
who, after reading Miss Bacons and Professor
Holmes books on the subject, came to the eonclu-
sion that the plays were not written by shaRs.

Now, Mr., Editor, allow me 10 give In your paper
the reply that did not think Of in time 10 make II
on tho spot The anecdOte related by Colonel In
geIsol is not original. IN 1862 Bishop tolenso pub
lished u book claiming to prove that the Penta-
touch was not written by Moses, hut probably by
Samuel, Nathan, Cad, and jeremiah. Many
were convinced Of the truth Of the theory
But one Biblical student said he was
not satisfied about Samuel and the other fellows
having anything 10 do With II, and, though y
could not have been Written by Moses, who led
the children OF Israel through the Wilderness, he
believed II was written bya man Of The Same

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT.
To the Editor of,rur RErunL,cAx:

To the Editor of'TuE REPuBucAN:
A dispatch of the Associated Press in the New
York Iapers states that the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations Is inclined to strike
out of the Army appropriation bill the provision
requiring officers to retire az the end OF forty years
service, and had discussed the poprlety Of chang.
ing the age for retirement from sxty-two to sixty
five. Now MS far as the forty-year provision Is
concerned, 1t seems eminenty proper that it
should be eliminated, MS it would affect between
two and three hundred officers disadyantageously,
retiring those who entered the Army between the
ages ofsixteen aud twenty two before they reached
the age of sixty-two while all Others would not
retire before reaching that age. There are
NUMBER or OFFICERS
who would be retired ut fifty six and UPWARD
As far as the age at which retirement should take
place ~ concerned there seems to be no good rea-
son why the Army and Navy should be ON a diff
ferent footing. The Army has Il law permitting
the President TO retire officers on their reaching
the age of sxty-two. This power is discretionary,
and what the Army officers now petition for Is a
law making this compulsory like that now exist
burnings.
OFFICERS WILL FEEL
that they retire because It is the law. and not be-
cause their place i wanted by some one else whose
friends have brought their influence 10 bear to
have him make place for him. II will relieve
the President of all this importunng and will in
fuse new lie and hope into The Army. There are
about one hundred officers of and under the grade
Of colonel who during the late war held COM
mnnds from that OF brigudier- general TO lieuten-
antgeneral. Are these men never TO get pro-
motion?
1T is TO De HOPED THAT SENATORS,
for the House has already answered the appeal OF
the Army by an overwhelming majority, will not
be influenced by the selfish opposition of those
who are not Gctuated by motives of good to the
service, but that they Will deal with the mat
ter upon It's merits. Many of the officers in the
higher grades OF the service, including all the
heads of the bureaus of the War Department ex-
cept two and majority of the officers of the
Army, ns for this enactment, and 1t is to be hoped
that the Senate, where its fate is soon to be de
cided, will ratify the action Of the House and re-
ieye the Army Of the stagnation in promotion
which now exists. Y
