Congress will meet on Monday. 1t
being the short session, nothing is likely
to be done more than to pass the appro-
priation bills. The Presidents message
IS awaited with interest as be will doubt
less have much to say on the events Of
the late war, aud Congress may act up
on some ofhis suggestions as to govern
ment and management of our newly ac-
CURED territory. The return Of the
Peace Commissioners will be made in a
short while and submitted, and that too
will be likely to provoke some action.
A number Of Congressional solous will
doubtless ventilate their views on Tin
Perialisn' aud its consequences, and
then Congress will adjourn sine die.

Continued DEVELOPMENT.


There is a consensus Of intelligent
opinion that the next great American
development viii be the covering Of the
Pacific Ocean with aeets Of steamships,
and that it will be followed by the re-
sumption Of our old-time position on the
high seas, when the flag Of the United
States was seen in every port This
change is freely predicted By English
and other foreign writer's, their observs-
ton being predicated upon the assump-
ton that we will hold the Philippines.
II eau only be verified, however, BY
adopting a course which the Democrats
are opposed to, namely, the extension OF
our coastwise navigation laws to our
new possessions If this is not done the
trade between this country and the
Philippines aud the interislsnd naviga-
ten will fall to British and Japanese
tramp steamers.
But if we have the wisdom to adopt
the Republican policy we will hold the
trade for ourselves and concurrently
build up an ocean marine which will
dwarf into insigni6cance that Of all
competitors. Back Of the Protection
