The republican leaders in the Senate
are determined to avoid an extra SEES
sion of Congress II such thing Is In
anyway possible. For this reason they
are preparing to adopt some legislation
for Cuba at the present session, proba-
Div az an amendment to the army ap-
propristion bill. Senator Piatt, of Con
necticut. the chairman of the special
committee on Cuba, has prepared the
first draft of resolution, the text OF
which is reserved from publication for
the present. There will be several con-
ferences among the Senate leaders and
with members OF the administration be-
fore 1t is finally introduced. As now
drafted it provides that when Cuba
shall consent 10 the establishment of q
United States naval station on the isl
and; agrees to place its relations with
foreign nations under the supervision
Of the United States, and pledges itself
to make no loans to any European
power, then the President shall be au-
thorizsd to withdraw the United States
troops from the island. II the pro.
grsmme as here outlined is accepted il
will practically amount to the exercise
of suzerainty by the United States over
Cuba. 1t is probable that the time
during which this arrangement is to bs

A You've woULD.BE BRrDE.-The most
youthful prospective br de 10 Virginia is IL
yesr-old Miss Clements, Of Goochlsnd. THIS
young girl last Monday applied to the clerk
OF Goochand for license TO marry young
man named Hodges, % years Old, which
that officer declined to grant. The pretty ap.
plicsnt 6uslly, through her parents, sppesled
TO the Judge OF the County Court. Under the
circumstances, there being no legal barrier,
the court, though evidently against hrs viii,
ordered license to be Issued. The troubles
OF the young couple had not ended. Up to
last reports all effects to induce minister in
Goochlsnd to celebrate this cbild's marriage
have been nnsuccessful. IL is, however.
quito certain that young Hodges and his child
sweetheart will find someone who will per.
form these offices for them, as there is no sge
limit fixed by law for the female or for the
male, where the conseat ofpsrents or guard
ian hss been obtained.

rnU TREASURY STATEMENT

The statement u Treasurer Lansing
ON the condition of The Territorial
treasury ought to be convincing cyl.
dence TO the people " the Territory and
legislative members that the situation
demands prompt and positive action.
According to this showing II will be
but a short time before the treasury Is
practically bankrupt
It is not a political question unless
II becumas so by reason Of continued
inaction OF the Legislature. Cold figures
that deal with dollars and cents do not
lie Some new source Of supply for
Territorial expenses must be provided
and that Immediately or else not alone
the officials Of the departments but the
legislators themselves will be without
funds. The effect Of such condition
on the whole business system Of the
Islands is at once APPARENT to every bust
ness man.

eminent and decision Of the courts re-
garding merchandise licenses. The
draft on the revenues has been increas-
ed as 1t necessarily must be during the
session Of the Legislature and the
empty bottom OF the treasury is In
sight.
Immediate legislation to provide rev.
enue is mandatory. This may
be temporary or permanent as the
Legislature sees Mt. The drain on the
treasury may he shut of through re-
duction in salaries or delaying public
work. 1t makes little difference how
the result is accomplished. No gov
eminent can exist on credit and unless
the Legislature moves promptly the
treasurer will have nothing but promi.
ses to pay to offer. These may or may
not he accepted. The chances are they
will not be.
1t is a condition and not a theory
that confronts the law and revenu,
givers Of the Territory.

EMPLOYING CITIZENS.

The measure requiring the exclusive
employment of Territorial citizens on
public work carries out an idea the
Public Works department has endea-
vored to fulfill on all public construc-
ton done under its direct supervision.
The principle involved Is OF the best,
particularly as private contractors are
prone to draw upon the low priced
Asiatic labor supply that will put in
days work at figures impossible for the
average citizen of the country.
The objection raised by country mem
bers to the ultra exclusive features of
the measure are worthy of cOnsidera-
ton but il is certain that the bill
should not be so amended as to leave
the question Of the character of labor
discretionary with the private cOntrac-
tor. Should this be done. the chances
are that all or every other con-
tractor will discover shortage Of
Territorial citizens who want to
work" On the other hand the legisla-
tors cannot afford to take any action
that may serve to retard the progress
OF any public work on account of the
scarcity of labor
Under the circumstances It would
seem advisable to give the Superinten-
dent OF Public Works discretionary au-
thority giving him power to void con-
tract II the claims of contractors as to
inability to obtain citizen labor are
manifestly without foundation of fact.
Holding his authority practically from
the Legislature direct, the Superinten-
dent of Public Works has every cause
, to be watchful Of the citizens interest
and hold the contractor to strict ac-
count. There is every reason why he
would strictly enforce the regulation,
while If the statements of country
members are well founded, the law
would work a manifold injury II is
the sparsely populated districts where
tine public work, principally roads, are
most needed. The roads will bring the
settlers and given the main avenues,
the population Of these outside districts
bids fair to increase with sufficient
rapidity during the next two years,
that the Legislature will find no bar
riers to the enactment Of exclusive fea-
lures throughout the group.
The point made by Senator Ka-
lauokalani in connection with the effect
on plantation labor is a good one. The
