The idea Of mere handful OF people,

DEFENDING THE TRUTH.

We are pleased TO see the efforts Of
many Of our missionaries abroad, TO
v.ndicate the Church and It's members
from the attacks OF It's enemies,
through the public prints In times
past the press has been virtually sealed
up against the advocates Of Mormon
i.m' while the open door has been Of
farei TO their opponents. Lately how
ever q more liberal spirit has been
manifest and there has been q DISPOSE
zion TO permit something Ike fair play
The inquiries that are being made as
TO the doctrines and purposes Of the
Mormon Church have something TO
DO with this change Of front on the part
o' some newspapers. In spite Of the
misrepresentation which have been
tta chief ammunition OF sectarIan min
iaars in their fusllades against the
M0mans' there Is a growing interest
boo tha world toward the strange peo-
p.a who flourish in the midst OF so
much antagou.sm, and the idea i'm

Ex.pREsDENTs FOR PEACE.

President Mckinley has requested ex-
Presidents Harrison and Cleveland 10
act as members Of the international
board OF arbitration, which is to settle
differences between nations as pro.
posed by the peace congress at the
Hague The selection is certainly a
most happy one, and It is to be hoped
the gentlemen viii accept the appoint
ment a greater honor can hardly be
conferred upon any American citizen,
and the two Presidents are pecun-
arly adapted for the duties Of that
board owing to their experience in in
ternauoual affairs.
The outlook Is not bright for the
practical usefulness Of such board.
because the world seems at present to
have been thrown into a spasm OF war,
but the reaction will come. perhaps
sooner than expected. and the existence
Of q board Of arbitration composed Of
the worlds distinguished statesmen
would materially aid the establishment
Of an era Of peace, and prevent the
recurrence OF arbitration by force.
The great idea Of which the Hague
conference was the embodiment Is des-
tined 10 live and 10 spread no matter
what obstacles Il may have to over
come. In the meantime the appoint
ment Of peace commissioners by our
government proves that this country
Is in earnest about the matter II
proves that It IS on the road to take
the lead In a world movement which
Is In perfect harmony with it's history
and traditions For after all, the des-
tiny Of the American Republic is not
to excel in military glory, but In the
establishment OF peace and equal rights
to all members OF the human family.

A few weeks ago the advocates Of the

banging away at Russia, and demon
stratlng. 90 their own satisfaction az
least. that she was ass.duously paving
the way for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the
Chinese empire. the Interior object OF
such course being 90 shut out the
rest Of the world from the trade on
that part Of China which might fan to
her. These critics were all sure that
Great Britain would prove am unyleld-
ing opponent Of Russias policy Of DIS
memberment and that the United
States would stand shoulder TO shoul-
Der with the British IN their efforts 10

empire. Why they should have reached
such a conclusion in the face Of the cold
shoulder which Lord Charles Beres-
ford received from salisbury on his re
turn from China Il would be difficult
TO tell. But that they did hundreds OF
newspaper and review articles abund-
antly attest.
