THE REORGANIZATION
OF.THE UNIVERSAL

a reorganization of the Universal Tobac-
co Company is imminent. q
X Transa otions In the stock OF the COM
pany have recently been very few. but
during the past week two hundred shares
were sold on the curb at New: York at
!21-2 apiece, which is nearly ten points
lower than the former price OF the stock.
1t is said by some that this purchase
was by parties who contemplated COM
plete reorga nization Of the company and
that In all probability some OF those in
control at present will drop out. Some
OF the most important constituent firms
OF the Universal have passed from under
Its control, SF 3 81

Mlschlevous War Tnlk
From the Hartford comm Times

From the Hartford Comm Times.
We have in mind MO less than three
recent declarations by high officers OF
the United States Navy which had
much better have remained unuttered.
All these officers say that we need to
greatly enlarge our navy in order to
be prepared to engage in warfare with
Germany upon the ocean when the in
evita0le time shall come. What. it
may we'll be asked. is the effect of all
these warlike utterances by our high
naval officers upon public opinion in
Germany? The answer may be arrived
at by asking what would be the ef-
feet upon the minds of the American
people if prominent German officers
were constantly telling the world that
"a war between their government and
ours were certain to occur at no distant
day. and that It is the duty of Ger
many to be ready for the conflict?

the matter was allowed TO drop.

AN ENERGETIC START

In the Legislature yesterday there
were indications OF activity and indus
try. The committees Of the two houses
were announced and notices OF num-
Der Of important bills were given.
Among these we notice an act to repeal
the voters assistant law by Senator
Sparks In the Senate, and by Mr. Rose
in the House; an act providing for per-
manent registration Of voters, by Sen
ator Harrington, and two good roads
bills It is well that these important
measures should be considered early
the session, as there will be no ex-
cuse for dropping them because OF a
lack Of time.
The voters assistant repeal bin
should pass without a quihble. 1t is
an alDomination, and has served no puI-
pose but to expediate vote buying. No
man can defend it on reasonable
grounds, and unless it is wiped of the
statute books we had about as well
stop holding elections We hope it
will be passed, and we cannot think
that Governor Hum after seeing its
iniduities would dare interpose his
veto.
Good roads measures are very popu-
lar just now. and consequently the
legislature win probably be flooded
with bills aimed at Improvement Of the
highways. The farmers are practical
in their suggestions. They say that
they are more interested in good roads
10 the railway stations and the steam
boat landings than in a State road. This
carries the interest into the network
OF public highways that covers each OF
the counties, and probably the Gov
ernors plans will have to be elaborated
