THE relations of the continental territories of the United States with the national government have suffered a neglect which may indicate that they are unimportant, or, again, that they are so organic a part of national development that abstraction has seemed unnecessary. Max Farr and Legislation of Congress for the Government of the Organized Territories of the United States, 1789-18951 provides a convenient outline of the general framework of territorial government. Most later works on the American dependencies have emphasized the insular possessions,2 which constitute a distinct problem. In this work an attempt will be made to describe how the territorial and national systems of government functioned at their several points of contact, and to suggest some of the effects of the national connections on the territories themselves.
