controversies have been bitter and con-
illusions have been reached the wisdom
Of which may be questioned but i'm
partial history win pass on that and
even the mistakes, when seen in their
true light win be for the avoidance Of
future assemblies.
Among the most notable acts OF the
session was the passing Of the currency
law which placed this country among
the gold standard nations Local gov
ernments were established for Hawaii
and Porto Rico. and legislation was
enacted for the benefit OF the Territory
Of Alaska. Appropriations were made
for the addition to our navy Of several
new war vessels. among which were FIVE
submarine boats.
on the other hand, the legislators
failed to provide for the construction Of
the Pacific cable and the Nicaragua
canal. The problems involved In these
enterprises viii be- taken up In the fu-
ture and solved one way or another.
A measure, providing Tor a Constitu-
