The subject OF old age pensions has
been q subject OF discussion and lok!s-
iatIon for years In Europe. In Ger
many the matter was long ago taken
up by the imperial government. In
1889 an old age and inyalldlty bill was
passed by the reichstag. under which
In ls9? total OF 100000 people In
Berlin alone-nearly on.-thlrd the en-
tire population-wcrc insured. There
has always been much dissatlsfnction
with tho working Of the scheme. how
ever. In Germany. as In every other
country where II has been tried. In
Australia IN old age pension law, with
government support. has recently gone
into force. Already grave defects
have been found in Its practical ap-
piication. In England Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain has been for years an
earnest advocate OF n national measure
for old ngc pensions. The debate over
the pension bill introduced by him
vas one Of the features Of the parlia-
ment now In session. In most cases
these old age pension schemes have
been practically compulsory lie insur-
ance laws. the state guaranteeing the

Sir Lewis Morris has written an ode
on Queen vlc,oria's birthday. probably
for the double purpose OF showing his
loyalty to his sovereign and demon
strating that II he had been appointed
laureate he could have been depended
upon for an ode or an clegy or any
thing else in that line at any time
when circumstances seemed to call for
II. Sir Lewis was one OF the most
prominent candidates for the laureate
ship before Alfred Austin was appoint
ed. and II was the opinion OF a great
many people. at the time the choice
was made. tha. the former would have
been n much better man FOR the place
than his successful rival.

Judge Read Withdraws.

Two weeks ago the CALIFORNIAN
stated that Hon. l.. NJ. Read, of Bel.
lows Falls, was in the Second dis
trict's congressional race and in.
tended to stay in until the voters
made their choice.
That was precisely the situation at
that time, and the CALIFORNIAN had
only the best OF authority for saying
what it did. But Judge Read, in a
letter dated November l, has taken
the matter out OF the hands of the
voters and withdrawn entirely from
the contest. The letter, which ap-
peared in the last issue ofthe Bellows
Falls Times, reads as follows:
Since the last congressional convention

Justin S. rIorrilI's Successor.
[From the Bellows Falls Times


In it's issue of December 81, last,
three days after the death of the la
mented Senator Morill, the Times
said: "A seat in the senate has
been Gen. CIRCUITS ambition for years
and to crafty his ambition he has
devoted every energy. Such an am
bition is noble one and the general
has a host OF friends in Vermont,
both political and personal, who
firmly believe that he would make a
creditable seuator who will serve his
constituents faithfully and do honor
to the state" We were then OF the
opinion, and see no reason to change
that opinion, that Gen. Grout is the
logical successor of Mr.. Morrill,, and
believe that if Gov. Smith had
had the courage OF his convictions he
would have given the appointment
10 the general instead of offering it
to two gentlemen who were in no
wise candidates. Gen. Grout main.
tanned becoming and respectful ST.
lence regarding his own candidacy
for a reasonable length of time after
Senator Moril's death and funeral;
but no sucn question of propriety
seems to have troubled some of the
other candidates, that is, it the can
didates are to be held responsible for
the acts OF their supporters.
In due time, however, Mr.. Grout
let it be known he would not again
be a candidate for the house, and,
though he did not say he was a can
didate for the senate, it was plain to
all that he would be glad of the posi-.
ton. 1t was also plain that il he
did not go into the senate, he would
go out of public life; and from that
time on his candidacy has been rap
idly gaining strength all over the
state, so that on Dewey Day at
Montpelier it was the opinion of
those we think best informed that he
has good lead in the race.
The Times has taken no part
whatever in booming General Grout,
but the least it can do as a news
paper is to present from time to
time what seems to be the trend of
public opinion regarding the incum-
bency OF this honorable and import
ant Office.
