A very wise and thoughtful man one who is a close student of pass- events remarked recently there is too much antagonism be- tween the people in the towns and cities and people in the country. The city and people do not take as much interest the people as they formerly this in turn has caused tin country people to feel indifferent towards town people. By some means the country ill sonic places have come the belief that the town people are on and the town people have also come to believe that the people do entertain the best of feelings towards them. This is all wrong. The city and town and are mutually de- pendent upon each other. When A Few Applicable In Present Day and If yon can't fool one way try another. even in a fool.

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 ; talking of late about the of the friendship be- tween his government ours re- in the removal of lions That large em- of unskilled labor this country, not to mention the sugar planters trust of Hawaii, are to see the restriction Chi- immigration removed is well i known.
