The decision of the cases now under
consideration by the supreme court will
settle the status of the newly acquired
outlaying territories. Let us hope the
decision will be unanimous, and so we'll
reasoned as to settle the question once
and for all. There can be but little
doubt that the court will hold that the
constitutional provisions do not extend
to the islands; in other words, it will
hold, as the administration and con-
gress do, that the constitution does not
apply to the islands in the same sense
that it does among the states in the
union Madison lWis.) Democrat.
