Emphatic Denial.

Two letters from Grover Cleveland
have been published this week in which
the former President denies most en-
phatlcally the stories recently circulated
that he entertained negroes at the White
House." said an old democrat. We'll in
formed men among the older set recall
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was always
particularly careful not to encourage in
any way social equality of the races and
never to go counter to the sentiment of
the south.
mo matter what faults Mr.. Cleveland
may have had as President he was always
in line with the white people of the south
on the race question not simply as a matter
of policy for his convictions were strictly
on the white side Yet Notwithstanding
the denials to the false statements, these
stories fabricated by enemies of the ex-
President will find their way into print
from time to time as long as Mr.. Cleve-
land lives"

HENRY NJ. STANLEY.

With the death Of Sir Henry NJ STAN

ON the 10th Of this month, the most
famous and successful Of modern ex-
plorers has passed away It was he
who opened the door Of the dark CONT

was he who filled out with lakes and
rivers, and villages and countries and
tribes and nations the white sheet OF
paper that before his travels represent

of the great African continent
Stanley was born at Dcnbigh, Wales,
1874, lie went TO America in 1857, and
took part in the Civil war, first on the
Confederate side, then on the other side.
Later he engaged In newspaper work,
As correspondent Of the New York
Herald ne accompanied the British
army through the Abysslnian war.
When pubic sentiment was worked
up over the fate Of the celebrated trn-
Weller and missionary Livingstone, from
whom no word had come for two years,
Stanley was detailed TO 90 and find him.
He accomplished this mission In the
face of many difficulties.
When he. later. learned Of the death
OF Livingstone. he determined to con-
tinue the labors OF that devoted pioneer
of civilization, The London Telegraph
and the New York Herald equipped
MIN for the most remarkable eXplora-
ton Of modern times. He left Zanzi-
bar in 1874 when 74O miles from the
coast Stanley discovered the magnih-
cent Lake Nyarza. A thorough eXplora-
ton Of this great inland sea was made
and Stanley visited Mtesa, the great
Central African monarch, who main
tanned an army OF 10000 soldiers.
Thirty battles with natives were fought,
and Stanley In short completed the
work OF Spoke, Grant and Livingstone.
Untold suffering from sickness, hostile
tribes and starvation was a part OF the
trip. on August g. just $50 days after
leaving Zanzibar, Stanley looked upon
European faces once more.
Several times he returned to Africa
each time bringing the interior Of that
continent nearer to the civilized world.

tinent. For In the future, when rail-
roads and telegraph lines shall cross

THE LAW OF LIBERTY.

upon portion Of the testimony given
before the Senate committee in Wash

populi. vox Dei"--the voice OF the peo-
ple is the voice Of God s the cardl-
nal feature Of Mormonlstc teaching "
That Inference Is not correct II Is not
warranted by the testimony given The
characteristic teaching Of Mormon
ism" is that mans duty is to obey an
the commandments Of God without
obedience to divine law there can Ice
no order; without order there Is chaos
and confusion,
But obedience, to be a virtue, must
be voluntary and therefore IN the
Church where the Spirit OF the Lord
rules, all things are done by common
consent" No one is forced to obey
God. The Lord does not 'draft' peo-
pie into His service they are free 10
accept or reject His word, and TO take
the consequences. To that extent eve
~ human soul, TO whom the Lord
speaks, has veto power
And this doctrine Ia not new 10 the
