DIRECTORY Glued 20 a Hoard.

Lying on the counter in q city busi-
ness Office where there are many visit
ors was q directory whose open covers
were glued on the back to a piece Of
board that was not quite so long as the
spread of the covers. It was thus pos
sible TO reach under the edges of the
cover on either side, and so the book
could be easily lifted. The book could
be moved about freely on the board to
which Il was glued, and its leaves free
ly consulted, but it could not be closed.
In this widespread form and with flap
ping leaves, It would be rather bulky
and inconvenient thing to carry off. II
was, indeed, with a view to prevent ii
from being taken away by some absent
minded person that the book was glued
to the board.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Action of Gen. Otis Will Likely Fin
ally BE Rescinded

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-The Chinese
minister called at the state department
today and held a long conference with
Acting Secretary Hill, respecting the ad-
mission into the Philippines of some
Chinese. The case is an exceptional one,
and it is said that the general question
of the validity and propriety of Gen.
Otis extension of the Chinese exclusion
laws to the Philippines was not en- is
sue in the conference. Senator Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, happened to call at the time
and was a participant in the discussion,
giving the department the benefit of his
views Of the attitude that would be as
sumed by his committee, and, perhaps,
by congress, respecting such questions
as that presented. There are some indi-
cations that the adoption of a more
elastic policy in the matter of Chinese
exclusion will be suggested to Gen. Otis,
but nothing has yet been done in that
direction.
AT the cabinet meeting today the sub
ject of Chinese exclusion III the Philip
pines was discussed at some length. It
was decided to ask Gen. Otis for definite
information as to what had been done,
and especially in regard to a particular
complaint from the Chinese minister
that one shipload of Chinese had been
stopped. Gen. Otis will he asked to give
reasons why this action WIS taken.

PARALLELS GRANT.
Politicians Do Not Want Dewey, but
the People Do.


New York World, Sept. 20.
Nine times out of ten presidential can
didates are chosen by the politicians. The
tenth time the people nominate their own
president by atmospheric acclamation'
and the politicians accept him.
Grants nomination in 1868 was made
that way The politicians did not want
him. lie Cid not want them-nor the
| presidency. They had other candidates
| picked OUT. When he was frst men
| toned as a presidential possibility they
could not classify him with certainty as
Democrat or Republican. They doubled
and Gistrusted him.
But the popular voice was persistent Tor
Grant He was the heroic man of his
| time. The prestige of supreme success
| was his. He was the nations captain
j who conquered The people saw In hlm
| the great representative American OF his
! age He was the commander who mad
| never. been beaten in war. They felt he
never could be beaten In peace AS the
fore1. est figure in the nation, the people
called him to it's foremost place Of honor
and service The politicians merely rau-
! fed the call.
Dewey's position today closely parallels
/ Grants in 1867. The politicians do not
want him He is not seeking them-nor
/ the presidency. They have fixed upon
other men. They have it all settled on
both sides-for Mckinley and for Bryan
They are unable to classify him. They
! are afraid he might not suit them.
But the people feel sure of Dewey. he
! is their hero, their idol, their man of the
victorious flag. He is their admiral VINO
| swept through the Eastern seas In tri-
umph and strewed the waters of Manila
bay with the debris of SPANS naval
power. They hail him as they nailed
! Grant in 1868, as the never-beaten and
neyer-to- be-beaten American leader of his
day.
Nor Is it in the least doubtful that Dew
ey, nominated, would complete the paral-
lei. His election would be the foregone
i conclusion OF a campaign in which the cp-
posing candidate would be hghtlng
against the stars in their courses.
