Busy Congress.

Editor Ed. L. Givens, of the Bates vile Guard, who for many years has held clerkship in the United States Senate, writes in his paper among the other interesting things, the following:
 More than 5000 bills have been in troduced in this Congress. and more than 10000 of them have been pri- vate pension bills. More than two- thirds of the bills passed have been bills of this character; and this Con- gress has passed twice as many such bills as any Of its predecessors. Then, the other day, as a crowning measure of this sort, the Senate pass ed service pension bill, giving to every soldier who served as much as ninety days, pension of SIP at 62 years of age, Sl5 at 70 and S2O at 75. It is estimated that this bill will add .SIO,OOO,UcO year to the annual ex- penditures for pensions, making the total Si5O GOO, 900; but it is not pos sible to foretell, with accuracy. just what the increase will be. Twenty five years ago Gen. Garfield. then a member of the House, expressednhe opinion, and it was generally accepted at the time, that the pension expen- ditures of the government would never exceed SIS, 100000 a year; and now the amount is times larger It has estimated the dependent pension bill would add but a few millions year to this expenditure, and # has added slo,oooooo.
 Bending the passage Of the service pension bill, the term "the war of the rebellion" was changed 10 5"the civil war, wherever it occurred in the oill. The time will come when that will be the term generally used when refer- enee is made to that war.

WILL ZEE AMERICA WHITE HOUSE AIDES
YOUNG MEN IN WHOSE HANDS
 SOCIAL FUNCTIONS REST.
Are Selected from Among Army and Navy Officers to Carry Burden of Official Entertainments for
 President.

Not the least of the White House activities and burdens are the social entertainments which must be given. It is quite out of the question for the president, or even Mrs. Roosevelt, to be burdened with the details of these affairs. and so it has come to be the custom to select young officers from the army and navy qualified to act Tn the capacity of social aides. At the present time there are ten sucn persons serving in that capacity, the pick of the military and naval set. Their duties require enormous amount of tact delicacy and quickness in help ing entertain the various official sets in Washington, visitors to the capital and dignitaries from other lands who come to this country.
 The office of social aide was created several administrations ago, when one or two men to serve in this capacity were considered quite enough. But during MT. Roosevelts occupancy Of the presidential chair social functions seem to have increased in number and in attendance to such an extent that it has been necessary to assign a corps of andes large enough to cope with their increased duties. When a public reception is gwen at the White House there is frequently line of vis- itors two or three blocks long, all eagerly and as patiently as possible waiting for their turn to grasp the presidential hand. Of course, some- body must introduce each visitor, and here the social aide comes to the res cue, presenting each person with due ceremony. Other aides are distrib- uted along the line, chatting here and there, suggesting ways to prevent con fusion and crowding and making themselves altogether useful to the host and his callers.
 Four large public receptions are usually given each winter at the White House. One falls upon New Years day, when the home of Presi- dent Roosevelt is thrown open to the public, and every man and woman who desires to may call upon the pres ident. Then he receives the diplo- matic corps later on, and receptions are given to congress and to the army and the navy Besides these official annual crushes, at which the military aides are much in evidence, there are innumerable small functions-dinners, banquets and receptfons-the success
