Porto Rico has no barns, we are told
by an American visitor, and the vision
OF harmless region, 80 far ms senti-
ment is concerned. is not welcome.
How much the children Of that island
have lost! No haymow sports; no hid
ings in fragrant recesses; no leaps into
friendly depths OF the harvest OF the
meadows; no rainy-day delights, shar-
ed with swallows darting in and out;
no memories OF such hours to give
their pleasant sadness to later years!
American children will regard their
contemporaries in Porto Rico as fair
subjects for sympathy. A typical barn,
duly stored with hay. with children to
illustrate its capacity for giving space
and suggestion for fun. would be an
Importation which boys and girls OF
the Island would appreciate.

The situation is very much the same
In the Philippines MS In Cuba. order
is less completely established there,
and the people have had an even short
or experience In partial self-govern-
mcnt. Under present conditions they
must be dealt with by the executive
department. and unless the provisional
report OF the Philippine commission
IL made the text for temporary laws,
there is no special need just now of
further action by Congress.
The case Of Porto Rico. like tfiat of
Hawaii. is one that demands more Inn
mediate attention. No provision has
been made by the Congress for an ex-
tension TO this island OF our revenue
laws; 10 that the exports OF the island
have to pay duties at our ports. like
those OF foreign country. The island
is ripe. nlso, for n provisional govern
ment. mainly under civIl instead of
military officers, and the Congress will
no doubt make some provision for this

The new Congress which meets on
the lrst Monday In December has some
important legislation before II. The
principal torics which are now visible.
In addition to the passage Of the neces-
sary appropriation bills, nre a financial
hill and bills for the government Of
our new dependencies.
The important financial bin bns nj
ready been adopted by the Republican
caucus committee and given to the
press. Its main provisions are these:
ReIternfing the declaration OF 1873.
that the gold dollar shall be consld-
e-ed the standard OF value In CONNER
cIal transactions: providing by law for
gold rcscrve--n reserve which has
hitherto been kept mp by the treasury
department without express warrant
In law; giving to the secretary OF the
treasury the power to issue bonds, IN
cases OF emergcncy-n power hitherto
exercised by virtue OF an old law, the
pcrtinence Of which has been some
what open to question; giving to na-
tionni banks the power to issue notes
to the par vniue Of the United tsates
bonds held by them, and allowing ma
iIonnl banks OF capital OF $4,000 to
be started In communities OF two thou
snnd people or under.
These are nil matters OF business.
and concern chiefly the business men
and the banks. The proposed law is
mainly the enactment OF n policy
which has already been pursued with
advantage for several years.
The legislation which will nttrnci
most attention. and cause most discus
sion, Is that which IL made necessary
by our possession OF new territory
During the last Congress law wns
proposed for the government OF the
Hawaiian Islands. but II failed TO re-
ceivc the assent OF both houses. Hn-
wall has since been In the anomalous
position OF territory which has been
formally annexed TO the United States,
but which Is stili governed by the laws
Of the Hawaiian republic, which In
some instances conflict with those OF
the United States. The early passngc
OF bill to extend the constitution ana
tho laws OF the United States to the
Hawaiian islands Is therefore probable,
ms It Is highly desirable.
New legislation In regard to Cuba
will doubtless be proposed. but the nf-
fairs OF that island arc so unsettled
that until order is completely restored
and the people have had some oppor-
tunIty to show what they can do with
the measure OF sclf-govefnment which
already has been granted TO them, 1t
would be premature to attempt any
final and definite legislation.
