Just before the war with Spain, Con
grcss passed a bill authorizing the
President of the United States to eek
pend in his discretion for the national
defence and for each and every pur-
pose connected herewith the sum Of
$50, 100000. \ bill identical in lan-
guagc aud specifying the same amount
was introduced in the Senate yesterday
and referred to the committee on mill
tary affairs. Does this similar prelimi-
nary action forcshadow another war ?
The President said in his message to
Congress yesterday: But | earnestly
hope that war is not now in ques-
ton, and further along he adds: Il
come to ask your approval that / should
use the armed forces of the United

news service. which has been received
heretofore over the wires of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, is now
transmitted direct from Boston by tele-
phone. a special wire extends to the
private office of this paper, and at
three stated intervals in the afternoon
the Associated press in Boston calls up
and gives the news, which is taken di-
rect upon a typewriter or in shorthand.
The receiving telephone apparatus is OF
la type used exclusively in newspaper
Offices.
The Reformer is on circuit with 4
other afternoon daiIies, all of which re-
ceive the news at the same time. The
other papers are the Dover On. II.)

| the five newspapers named will receive
| more thah double the amount OF live
afternoon news that has been sent to
them by telegraph. Another great ad,
vantage will come in getting the later
news, as the last connection with Bos-
ton is made more than an hour after
the time when the last telegraphic des-
patches were formerly fled
This change was made by the manag.
ers of The Reformer in accordance with
their promise that the paper would - be
enlarged and improved as fast as its in
creasing patronage makes growth and
Improvement possible.
The change comes at Il very oppor

The Boston papers announce that two
citizens Of that city have made public
their intention to move their legal
residence to a nearby town where they
have 4 summer residence. The high
assessment of their personal property is
the reason assigned, 1t seems, too, by
the same accounts that these sufferers
by over-taxation have lately inherited
the property which they guard so zeal
ously. Presumably they will be able 10
maintain = winter home in the city
which drives them out, but they will
not have to pay for maintaining the
privileges they enjoy. This is kind
Of public spiriteduess that is harmful in
any community. On all sides we see
men guided by selfishness, whose only
thought is what they can get, not
what they can do to help. We see this
spirit stick out its bristles not only in
public matters, but in church, fratcrnal
and social circles.

Something altogether new in horti-
culture has been tried successfully i'm
New Orleans. where a tree was cut off
at the roots and planted in the middle
OF the city for a Christmas tree, last
winter. Recently it was proposed to
make it permanent. and the roots were
grated onto the stump. and an electri-
cal current kept running up the tree
through the roots. TO start the sap.
The tree joined and grew, and is per

ing along the streets. We have
heard of no serious accidents result
ing therefrom, but several have
sustained slight bruises and con-
siderable discomfort.
