THE POSITION OF THE "DEsERET
NEWS.v


THE "DEsERKT News has on several
occasions defined It's position In refer.
enoe to the Church Of Jesus Christ OF
Istter.day Saints. II becomes neces-
sary TO repeat this definition. The
views OF this paper on the questions OF
the period are by some persons i'm
properly attributed 10 the Church or to
its leaders.
This mistaken notion arises from the
fact that the DEsEnEr News Is the
official organ Of the Church whenever
the Church authorities have any
public announcement TO make by
means Of the press. The discourscs
OF the Presidency and leading Elders
also appear In this paper. IL advo'
Gates the doctrines Of the Church
and defends It against the assaults of
Its opponents. II announces meetings
Of the various councils and quorums,
and publishes Church news generally.
But the DESERT NEWS Ia also a
newspaper, public journal, and has
opinions on public questions. These
are its own, and tho Church ie IN no
way responsible for them. The DIES
ERnr NEWS Is not owned and pub
lisbed by the Church, but. ~ appears
daily at the head Of the editorial coll
umns, by the Deseret News Company
corporation Of shareholders organized
under the laws Of the Territory.
When this paper expresses la views
on political questions II ought to bc
known by Its readers that these are not
the enunciations Of the Church, for
that institution is out Of politics. Part
Of its membership belong to the Re
publican party, part Of II 10 the Demo
cratic party, and portion remain yet
unconnected with either party.
In politics the DEsrREr NEWS Is
IsDErESDEST. II Is not Republican
organ. II Is not n Democratic organ.
II expects to form opinions on public
questions which will be Us own, aud
will not ask either party or the leaders
Of either party permission 10 express
them.
Let II DO distinctly understood that
the DEsEaEr NEWS Il not aud does
not intend to be neutral, NJ some per-
sons wish II TO be. II will not DO silent
on political questions, whether local or
uatisnal, IL will not be muZzled. IL

Sorry Now That fe Didn't Go Himself.

A gilded youth who was too lazy or
too occupied to pay due attention to his
duty visits" and who yet felt it was
incumbent upon him to make personal
visits at houses where he had incurred
social obligations, concluded to take his
chance of finding his friends oat, and Sc
lecting a tempting afternoon sent a
messenger boy around with his cards.
This modern Mercury, however, with the
peculiar obtuseness of his race, insisted
in every instance upon having a receipt
given him for every batch of cards deliy-
cred, and brought back with provoking
honesty to his enraged employer a dozen
or S o of signed papers testifying that the
cards had been received.
What was still worse, a couple of his
fair friends, rather quickly approaching
the situation, took the opportunity of
sending him back the following: "Mrs.
A has received from Mr.. B one
visiting card in payment Of dinner
given" and another had scrubbed across
the paper Full satisfaction for all social
obligations incurred. New York Tri.

The Evolution of the Razor.

Does it eve occur to YOU to wonder,
when you complain Of the torture of
shaving, how men managed to keep
their faces clean before the exquisitely
tempered steel razors of today were in.
vented!' said a scientist.
"You have only to observe the ancient
sculptures to see that shaving was prac-
ticed in the earliest times. The faces of
the old Egyptians are represented in
their statues and basreliefs as clean
shaved, except for the beard on the chin
What sort Of Tazors did they use: No
body knows: bat something is known
about the evolution of the razor in IA
general way.
"The first razor was ii pair of clam CT
mussel shells, with which u savage
ancestors pulled out the hairs of his
head by grasping them as with pincers.
In the course of time it was found ont
that by sharpening the edgesof the shells
they could be ground against one another
so as TO saw off the hairs. Two keen
edged flakes of stone could be employed
for the same purpose, as the Mexican
Indians utilize bits OF obsidian. As a
rule the straight haired and scant beard
ed races today, like the North American
Indians, pluck out their boards. The
Polynesians get rid of their superfiuons
hair with chloride of lime, which they
manufacture by burning coral.
when the bronze age arrived razors
were made of that material, which has
since been superseded by tempered steel
The latest razors are fire and electricity.

Jim and Ginger.

the full significance of the sight burst
upon him. Great heavens. | can't

TANKS heaving with the sudden strain,
and o aecked with the flying foam
from his mouth, which mingled with
the blood drawn by the madly driven
spur OF his rider. But in vain. The
chance was too great, and Jack Ford
ham closed his eyes and his senses
reeled at the thought Of the horrible
thing which he saw that he was power
less to prevent.
Meanwhile Jim had missed his steer
and, riding near the edge Of the bank in
his search, heard Goldy's cry at the sight
Of her approaching father, and peering
over took in the situation at a glance.
Measuring from his eoign of vantage the
relative position Of the actors III the
scene below, he wheeled his horse and
galloped back a few yards, then head
ing him toward a point which would
bring him between the child and the in
furiated animal, which was so rapidly
nearing her, he gave a significant shake
to the bride.
"We.ye got to do it, Ginger he said.

a crash that put an effectual stop to the

himself from his painting horse. and
with difficulty dragged his half eon

Few Gold Coin Counterfeits.

Nearly all the counterfeit coins afloat
are silver pieces. As the whole process
Of making gold coins is more expensive
than making silver ones, so it is more

REBUFFED.
Kentucky Democrats Refused to In
struct Delegates.
HENRY WATTERSON'S WARNING
He Says q New Yorker Cannot he Elected
And II the Party Goes There for Can
didate IL VIII Walk " Trough sIaugh-
ter House Into an Open Grave"

LOUISVILLE, KY. May 26.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met here yester-
day. District delegates were chosen to
the Chicago convention.
The Cleveland element nominated Chas
j. Bronston for temporary chairman.
The anti Cleveland or anti-instruction
men nominated Charles l.. Long. Long
was elected by a vote OF 427 to 800. The
result, which was a surprise, was greeted
with cheers by the anti-Cleveland men.
Chairman Long congratulated the Democ-
racy on the successful effort made TO
uphold the principles OF the Democratic
party as above any one man. (Applause.)
Mr.. Bronston also made a speech. He
said his friends had fallen in great
cause and that the people OF Kentucky
were for Grover Cleveland.
Henry Watterson, who was given an
ovation, spoke next. He said the party
was between the devil and the deep sea,
and the prospect was becoming more and
more uncertain. But he was comforted
by the fact that the opposing party was
in Just AZ bad predicament. He thought
there was something more than good
fighting chance to nominate a national
Democratic ticket which could be elected
next November. But he could not be-
lieve that such a ticket was to be found
where factions reigned among Democrats.
Referring to the split in the party in
New York state, he remarked: at seems
TO me that IL we go there for a nominee
we shall walk through slaughter house
to an open grave" (Applause.)
Congressman w. &. =. Breckinridge,
the leader of the Cleveland forces, then
spoke for nearly an hour. He asserted
that the Democratic party of the union
wanted Grover Cleveland nominated for
President. (Applause.)
Congressman James B.McCreary was
elected permanent chairman. He made a
brief address, predicting victory. He
named Cleveland, Carlisle, Morrison,
Governor Flower, of New York, and 9TH
ers as possible presidential nominees.
Each name was cheered.
Henry Watterson was elected delegate
at large.
The platform indorsed Cieveland's ad-
ministration but did not instruct the
delegates.
