The Legislature and Mardi Gras.

Will the Alabama Legislature go to Mobile to attend Mardi Gras?
 This is the question that is being asked in many quarters, because of the evident desire of the city of Mobile and its representatives in the two houses of the Legislature to have the solons make the trip.
 The trip, if it were taken, would come about the time the lawmakers were preparing to adjourn for few months, if, as expected, split session Is decided upon. It might be, or course, that adjournment could be ar- ranged to be taken just before the trip to Mobile. which would give about twenty five working days for the legis- lators, if full weeks are given to the work until then.
 Unless some such arrangement as this can be made, however, there seems little Likelihood the trip will be made as there Is hardly enough general sup port of the plan, at the present time at least to warrant an adjournment Of the two houses for two or three days to take the trip.
 Lieutenant-Governor Gray. who is re- garded as something of a prognostica- tor on what the Legislature Is going to do and what 1t isn't going to do. said the other day he hardly believed the legislators would vote to go to Mobile to Mardi Gras.
 "As far as I am concerned" he added, q should, like to take the trip. And if 1t came< up to me on a tie vote in the Senate, I would vote to go. But, then, I hardly think there is much Likelihood of the members voting to F take the trip
 The Mobile delegation is a unit in favor of the legislators going to Ala bamas Gulf City at the time of Mardi Gras to enjoy their hospitality, and to attend the festivities.

OLD.A0E PENSIONS.

The principle Of old.age pensions has
been fully accepted by the present Lib.
eral government Of Great Britain. The
Chancellor of the EXchequer, In his
budget speech last month, "earmarkcd"
a million and half pounds of next
years surplus as the nucleus Of fund
for the purpose. 1t Is estimated that
not less than ten million pounds will be
required annually for comprehensive
Old-age pension fund. The plan which
will probably be adopted in Great Brit.
ain differs radically from the systems In
France and In Germany. In Germany
both the laborlng man and the employ
or are required 10 contribute certain
sum every year to an insurance fund.
small sum weekly, ana when he be.
comes old an annuity Is paid to him.
Although the government supplements
the fund thus raised, the system was
originally one OF mutual Insurance
against sickness and against need in
old age. The French old-age pension
law, passed last year, Is based on that
In force in Germany. The Liberal cab
met, following the lead of the British
experts on poor relief, has rejected the
compulsory Insurance form OF old-age
relief, and has adopted the principle of
the laws Of New Zealand. In that col.
ony no contributions are required from
working men, but an annual approprla.
tion Is made by the government, out Of
which pension Of ninety dollars a
year Is paid 10 every worker who has
passed the age Of 60 and has lived In
the colony twenty-five years. The New
Zealand plan Is appealing forcibly to
the advocates Of the pension system In
other countries, for In Germany the
abolition Of the payment Of premiums
for the Insurance Is urged. and II Is
demanded that the government endow
old age itself rather than strive 10 en-.
courage men In their yigor to insure
against poverty In their declining years.
