The Doctor win no doubt attend to this
conundrum when he returns The Milwaukee
Senfind follows up the s'bulbous' controversy
with killing sarcasm in this fashion,
Nobody objects 70 the quotation that 1t is incor-
rect. but several people are wondering where the
write writer got his acquaintance with the contents Of
after the original Dr. Livingstones disappearance
II may be that liberal quotations from the poets
we're Included among the other things with which
stanley rtveted his (LivingstOne's) attention for
days together" But we guess not.
The Sacramento Record sniffs the battle
from afar and rejects the hypothesis of the
Livingstone letters being genuine with scorn:-
ao ane man Of science may have fallen into his
uo.age tnreugn long association with Ujijian
IscE E ous hcswHpstandng % the imputation OF
must CONFESS that we hnd 1t difcuit to accept the
letter attributed to the explorer as genuine
We cannot go through them all, but the
above are fair specimens. Some Colonel San
ford, who had travelled round the world, was
interviewed, and this second edition of De
Quinoeys great walker had grave doubts also,
and the Thomases all over shared them imme-
diately. We shall close these elegant extracts
of ''reliable" doubts with an echo of dubi-
tableness from the Royal Geographical Solo
mon aforementioned. This is found in the
columns of the Pittsburg Commercial, under
the head ''Is 1t Imposture ?''-
Sir Henry Rawllnson. who from the first has re-
fused to believe In the discovery Of Livingstone by
tells US. At least that seems to he the inference
which Sir Henry wishes the world to draw from the
emphatic announcement he makes OF the fact that
explorer.
The sensible Commercial does not, however,
believe at all in Sir Henry and his rufaed
mightiness.
In the midst of all these little paper houses
of doubt the letters of Earl Granville and DIR.
Livingstone's son to the HERALD, attesting the
genuineness of the communications, fell and
knocked them to pieces. Henceforward the
exchanges bring us notes of an entire disap-
pearance of all doubts on the matter. The
Troy Wing says:-
and the strange wording OF the Livingstone letters
the doughty correspondent seems to have proof
enough OF his adventures and OF his claims to the
discovery OF the great explorer.
The Springfield Republican comes bravely
out: -
tire credence to the reported discovery OF Dr. Lv
ingstOnc by the NEW YORK HERALD'S correspond
ent, Mr. Stanley, and even since the atter's return
from Africa not a few have questioned the genu-
ineness Of his story and the authenticity OF the
letters he claimed to have brought from DR.. Liv
ingst0ne. But there Is no longer the slightest
ground for any such doubt or cavllling.
The Philadelphia Ledger speaks its mind
The doubts that have been entertained in refer
ence to the truth OF the report OF the discovery Of
Dr.; Pr David LILY Livingstone by Mr.: henry N; Stanley,
trey dispeled by the certificates Of Earl Granville
the British Minister OF Foreign Affairs, and Of Mr..
plOrer. fns
The Worcester Evening Gazette is gladdened
The authenticity OF the Livingstone letters is at
last assured, for despatch from London Of today's
date states that the travellers son, Mr.. s. Living
with Lord Granville, the English Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has written Mr.. Stanley to apprise him Of
the fact.
The Philadelphia Age wonders how anybody
could have doubted it,
Our telegraphc dispatches from Europe on Sat
doubts as to the authenticity OF the NEW YORK
HERALD's account OF the finding Of DR.. Livingstone.
II has received the fullest corroboratlon and 1t
always entitled to the fullest credit
The Buffalo Courier parts regretfully with its
incredulity:-
ticity Of the letters purportng to be from Dr. Liv
ingstone published In the HERALD, there can be
as to tine fact that Mr. STANLEY ms
him to England.
The Paterson Guardian satisfies its longing
for the right
The NEW YORK HERALD this morning summarily
dsposes of the ingenious cavils of cnvious rivals
by publishing certificates from Earl Granville the
British Minister OF Foreign Affairs, and DR.. Liv-
ingstones SON. fully suthsntcating the letters and
nous African explorer.
This, we imagine, is enough. The HERALD
troubled itself not ut all about the cavillers
and hair-splitters while all the great leaders
of thought on this Continent and Europe ac-
cepted the success of the expedition not merely
as a fact, but as material aid to civilization
and progress. There we can leave it. To the
insignificant or self-suficient beings who
amused themselves in nursing their doubts we
can in the best of humor and in the spirit of
Mr.. Greeley apply the language of Goldsmith
in his elegy on mad dog-the rabid canine in
this instance being their incredulity-
But soon wonder came to light
That showed the rOgues they lied;
The man recovered OF the bite,
The dog 1t was that died.
