In conversation at his car yes
terday afternoon, Jeff N. Miller,
vice-president and general man.
ager of the Gulf Coast Line,
informed a HERALD representative
that almost phenomenal progress
was being made in the construc-
ton of the extensions toward Bay
City, Galveston and Houston.
The weather, with few exceptions,
has been extremely propitious for
railroad building during the past
several weeks, and it now seems
quite probable that trains will be
running regularly between Browns
vile and Bay City within the next
sixty days. Asked as regards the
international bridge across the Rio
Grande, Mr.. Miller said there was
absolutely nothing to give out on
the subject at present. The mat
ter has not come to final adjust
ment yet, and nothing could be
said just now. He was frank TO
say that as soon as there was any
thing to give out, the people of
this section should be thoroughly

future of the section has not one
whit abated. OF course conditions
last season were not all that might
have been desired, but with in
creased facilities and a knowledge
of the soil, acquired by experience,
will result in improved conditions
and also benefit newcomers, who
are liable to make the same mis-
takes which our first year farmers
made.

| ly, let me admit my inability to give
such a statement. I am not competent
to pass on the legal aspect of the ques-

sentiment of the voters, they at least
seem to be willing, bv the abortion of
additional burdens to undertake still
greater obligations. So serious a prob

It is my belief that each center of

, standing Of our own conditions by com
pairing them with those OF other com
munities similarly situated.
There has been considerable private
discussion comparing our condition, a.
a Territory. with that of an insular pos
session, and the matter has received
consideration from the public press. 1t
would appear, however, that some opin-
ions have been given without thorough
investigation or a sufficient knowledge
and consideration of the facts.
The subject of Territorial or Insular
Government touches the very fOunda-
ton of our local affairs, and is of pro-
found interest so that an intelligent I'M
derstanding on the part of the people
is necessary before any correct cOnclu-
sion can be drawn. 1t should be faced
squarely-the is nothing to be gained

them for action, if action may be deem
ed advisab BILE.
OF the insular governments establish
ed as a result of the Spanish War, the
conditions of Porto Rico more closely
resemble our own than do those of the
Philippines.
Porto Rico, as possession of the
well populated with cultivated and in
telligent people who, for generations,
had sustained social and political sys-
tenn as complete and. in some respects,
more complete than that of any State;
both are isolated in a far-off sea; Meth
err can have the enefits of intimate geo
graphical proximity nor the close con
tact in commercial activities of those
contiguous areas heretofore acquired by
the United states; and the economic
conditions of both are vastly different
from those of any State or Territory
in the Union.

The foregoing statement must lead
any one who studies the form of gov

the Union previous to Hawaii, to the
conclusion trat IN no other case in the
history OF tae American Government
has the new accession been granted
such extensive privileges, nor has Con
gress, previously, ever shown more lib
erality toward new territory than to-
ward US. But it is also evident from
comparison of conditions that Porto Ri
co, acquired subsequent to our anneX1-

own course OF development unburdened
by national exactions, and is, in fact,
at liberty to work out its own destiny.
