The loss to the nation, from the re-
tirement from Congress of Speaker
Reed, is appreciated when one con-
siders the men suggested as his sue
cessors. 1t is difficult to name man
who can be depended upon to possess
the same power of resistance and
force.
Mr.. Reed has sto cd for resistance to
extravaganza in expenditures and
imperialism in governmental policy,
and he held his ground when the pres
sure to yield was very strong. He is
a man Of character, ability, and the
capacity for courage, and he is sure
of permanent remembrance as one of
the few great speakers.
Mr.. Reed has had a long legislative
experience. He served in both Houses
of the Maine Assembly when he was a
young man, was attorney general of
the state, and has been in Congress
since 1877. We have no more ac-
complished presiding officer than he,
and few men of ripper public expert
ence. But the very force of his per-
sonality may be said to have stood in
the way of his political advancement.
His talents are large and conspicu-
Gus, and the practice of law, to which
profession he goes, will afford him OPP
portunity for their renumerative ex-
ercise.

THE EXCLUSION OF THE CHINESE.

Washington, Aug. A-The State Department does
not fear that any international complications Will
arise from General Ots's course In excluding
Chinese from the Philippines. as this Is said to be
only temporary military expedient, leaving the
general question TO he determined by Congress
Moreover, II seems that the exclusion OF Chinese
comes about through the adoption Of military regi-
latons following the lines OF United States laws.
and not by the detailed enforcement Of the United
States statutes relating 10 Chinese exclusion.
While the same end Is attained yet the distinction
ia made that Congress Is the only body which can
apply a United States law TO the Philippines, al
though the military authorities may adopt tenn
porary measures conforming to these laws.
It appears that General Otiss exclusion policy
was put into operation some months ago. although
the Chinese officials were unaware Of 1t and were
proceeding on the theory that the question still
open for adjustment between the two governments
Acting Secretary Adee has addressed letter TO the
Chinese Minister who is now at Hot Springs Va.
explaining the affair What further steps, II any.
he will take have not been made known. although
the opinion prevails IN Chinese official quarters that
though It Is a temporary military expedient. War
Department officials will not discuss the matter.
but II Is understood that the operation OF this ex-
clusion under General Otis has not been attended
with any difficulties.
