Hold to the Old Custom.

at Washington.

WASHINGTON, jan New Years
opened bright and clear, with more snap
and crispness in the air than during the
holiday week. The day is more observed
here than in other cities throughout the
country. and while the custom of keep
ing open house is falling into desuetude
with the more fashionable act, official
society observes the custom, and in
many houses parties We're made up to
receive all callers. These receptions,
however, do not begin till afternoon, and
the event in the morning and early
afternoon, was the presidential recep-
tion at the White House. The executive
mansion had been made especially at
tractive for the occasion. The floral
decorations We're tasteful, but not elab-
crate.
The official programme for the presi-
dents reception was as follows:

THE RETIRED LIST.
MT. Bailey of Texas VIII Try to Have 1t
Abolished by Congress.

AuOhsntW ny cobSEcS&e
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Three bills
which were introduced by Representa-
tive Bailey OF Texas may never be re-
ported from the committee to which
they were referred, but will be offered
to different appropriation bills. and will
no doubt cause considerable discussion.
They are those to abolish the retired list
of the Judiciary. the army and the navy.
1t is not thought probable that these
bills may by amendments be made a
part of the judicial, army and navy ap-
preparation bills, b-,t they will be
offered and the argument made that the
retired lists cost the government about
O, ,0O0. 900 a year.
No Good Reason For 1T.
1t win be asserted that there is no
more reason why the officers Of the judi
ciary, the army and the navy should re-
ceiye pay after their service with the
government ceases, than other officials
who do not receive any larger, and in
the case of government clerks, less sal
airy than is now received by the judges,
the army and navy officers.
The retired list, it is claimed, was a
war measure. At the breaking out of
the war there were number of officers
both in the army and navy who were
not fit for the great commands that the
country demanded. 1t was not expedient
to dismiss them from the service because
their services had been con-
spicuous, their connection and friends
large and influential. and then a
| retired list was created by congress, a
list which retained these men in the pay
Of the government, and subject to army
and navy regulations, retaining them in
honorable positions and giving no Of
Tense to them or their friends. After.
wards this same recognition was ex
tended to Judges OF the United States
court. While the effort is being made
by Mr.. Bailey and others to abolish the
retired list, many other congressman arr
endeavoring to ascertain some method
to increase the efficiency of the navy BY
providing a means OF more rapid re
| tirement

says if the men can convince the re-

fairly they (the receivers) may join the
men in petition to Judge Jenkins of

schedule to conform to their ideas.

adjourn!

MAUDLlN LEGISLATION.

Gov. Flower of New York is vigor-
ously pruning the so-called reform leg
islation of the late Republican Legisla-
ture of that State which, upon its clos
ing days, rushed through a sheaf of
acts which only few of the leaders of
the 2. o. p. knew the purport. The
rest of the members did not know
enough about them to vote for or
against them, their condition being
quite maudlin.
Some say they were intoxicated with
delight but there are those who say
they were in that conditions by the aid
of more substantial liquids.
Sober legislation is to be commended
and it is to the credit of Gov. Flower
that he is vetoing legislation secured
in such questionable manner.

pressed his sympathy with him. He had
told him that his men were willing to ac-
cept all his doctrines except that OF rein
carnation, which he thought might as
well be left out when so practical ques-

fronted the people. Coxey urged them to
