Mr. extraordinary
and apparently unaccountable
friendship for China, which has
been so plainly shown from the
beginning of the trouble down to
his abandonment of the allies

American troops in to the
Philippines, has caused a lot of
thinking. Attention has been
called to the fact that the
platform failed Io say a word
about the continued exclusion of
Chinese laborers from the f
States although it must have been
well to the makers of that
platform that the present Chinese
exclusion law will expire by
1902; and that unless it
is by our ports
will then lie to Chinese
laborers. It has noted
that Minister to the Unit-
ed States has done considerable

mention of the Chinese exclusion
was purposely left out of the re-
publican platform, in order to
