IT IE MORMON PRESIDENCY.
Only the l ; ft: of a fct-ble old man,
according to the latest advices from
Salt Like City, is between the Mor
mon cliimit at d a crisis aftVcting the
succession to its presidency Lorenzo
Snow, tin: pr> si nt head of the church,
is 8G years c.f nge, and the, state of Lis
health gives his jji’Ople frequent up
prehension and cm* * ’lie cottsidera
tion of tin: q testion of a successor
Non since the time of Niuvoo,
when Youm* ini rcaint! jival
ry and lu’came the In-anl of tin- 1 cliurch
after the killing or Joseph Smith, has
there b en any doubt as to the right
of succession. The tlrory of the
Mormon cliurch is that the Lord in
spires tin: tvv< Ive sipostles in the naip
ing of the clnticlt pit sident, but in
variably the presiding apostle has been
‘chose: , and the presiding apostle has
been the senior one in term of service
in the quotum of the twelve, a» tin
apcstcnic orgfteizition is called. So
100 motor., it ha - been simply a formal
matter to designate u new head of the
twelve or a new head of the church.
But Apo lie Richards, the president
of t lie twelve, died afe v months ago,
and bequeathed an ecleastical problem
to his brethren.
IhepMsiitent of the church has!
two counselors. Their apostolic func- j
lions are suspended wlnle they act as j
counselor 1 !, but if when their chief j
dies his successor does not retain them j
they go back to tin ir seats among the
aposths. Hedge Q. Cannon and
Joseph F. Smith are the counselors of
President Snow. Cannon became an |
ipystle in 1860 and Smith in 1867.
But BtigUain Young, son of the pro**
pin t, was ntdaiued an apostle by his
father’s favor in 1855 although he did
not become an actual member of tin*
apostles’ quorum until 1868, after
Oum.o:i and Smith had taken seats in
it, and he claims seniority, with the
tight of succession, on the ground of
his ear 11. r ordination.
When the apos'les were confronted
with the. duty of selecting a chief on
be death of Ri ha"us, they evad ’d a
decision of the question of succession
involved by leaving the position of j
president ot 'he twelve vacant. To
take the place George Q. Cannon
would hn» e been compelled to resign
Irpin his present position, in which lie
is regarded by many as virtually the
bead of the church. On the other
hand the elevation of Brigham Young
would be a concession, according to 1
; . ft
precedent, of his claim to the church j
presidency. So the failure to s lect a I
cliiff apostle is regarded as on the |
whole indicating ihr preference of a
r i
majority -of the apostles in la half of J
Cannon. But Young and his adner |
eats liopt: that Itis name lias not y2t j
lost its power to conjure, and that the
favc riisni shown him by his father
will jiavc a strong influence in com
pelling lecognition of his churn.—Re

ARIZONA GRANGES SAFE.
Nature stole a march on Jack Frost
and California when she arranged
that the Arizona orange crop should
ripen and be gathered several weeks
previous to the extreme western crop.
Close investigation made Friday and
Siturday by members of tlie Orange
Growers’ association elicited the fact
that none of the orchards in this val
ley have been materially injured by
the late ve-y severe weather, q trst
which Salt River valley oranges may
not have to again uiubrgo in years to
come. Mr. G. W. Mu dis, who keeps
a close wa eh on fruit conditions, said
j yesterday that the Arizona growers
i would suffer virtually no loss, while
California orange men are damaged to
the extent of many thousand dollars.
Only a very fuw of the younger trees
jin Arizona groves wpte damaged, and
! virtually al. the f uit had been picked.
A large part of that left on the trees
was there for exhibition purposes and
will serve just ns well frozen. Unlike
other fruits, oranges do not fall when
nipped by frost and will likelp remain
on the trees for weeks. Small quanti
ties of the oranges that were frozen
are being peddled about the sheets.
It is the impression among many pro
pie that i’rosu d oranges are poisonous,
but notwithstanding this fact the In •
dians and Mexicans devour (he frozen
fruit with great gusto. Private re
ports from Riverside, Cal., state tha r
the orange crop there is ruined and
the losses will approximate several
thousand dollars.
It is likely that the test to which
local orange groves have, just been ex -
pos-d will give a great impetus to the
industry in this valley The fear of
frosL Ims been next to the fear of a
« it:
shortage of water, and since the grov. s
have flourished through one of the
drye3t seasons ever known here and
survived a record-breaking cold spell,
t.hre should be ro hindrance now to
the steady and rapid growth of the
orange business in Arizona.

THE ALGODONES GRANT.
The Algodones land grant will be
opened at once for settlement. This
news came over the wire fiom Wash
ington yesterday, and, although no
official confirmation has been received
at the Tucson land office, yet the news
is regarded as true, and notification is
expected at the land rflice this week.
The bill, which was introduced by
Delegate Wilson provides for the
opening of this immense grant to
homestead entry, giving those who
have already settled upon the lands of
the grant, six mouths in which to
make entry at the Tucson land office
of tin ir lands. This protects them
against any logs frorq jumpers,” and
gives them ample protection.
The news of the passage of the
Algodones Dili was received at Yuma
with j >y which found vent in a great
celebration on Saturday night in
which the people of Yuma joined with
the ranchers in recognizing the great J
fortune which has befallen the Colo*- \
rado river country. The opening of
the grant to settlement means much
to Yuma, as the lands of tho grant
are remarkably rich and productive.
A rush is expected at the Tucsod land
of ce when the first day citues for lo
cation of lands upon the grant. -Tuc

A. P. Shewman, editor o| the A£b*a
£hre Press, has been dangerously
sick with quinzy and heart trouble for
the past two week?. The forepart of
the w<ek he seemed to oe doing 9plen
did I y, and his frienns were greatly en*
eouraged over his condition, but
nesday evening he showed symptoms
of heart affectation, and since, only
the best of care and the most efficient
skill lias kept him abve. Dr. Hawley
of Mesa has been in attendance, and
Wednesday Drs. Wiley and
of Phoenix were summoned and the
trio did everything possible for his,
relief but could not give much hopes
for his recovery. His mother came
Wednesday, and his brother arrived
this morning, and although he passed
quite a good night last night, yet his
friends are desparring of his recovery.
Just before going to press he was re-
F 4 i.' * .
ported sinking quite rapidly, and those
in attendance have just about given
up all hope, but are doing everything
in their power for restoration. ■
