In the death of George III. Smith second
president OF the church OF latter day saints
OF Jesus Christ" which occurred at Salt
Lake City yesterday, the Mormon church
loses one OF its most prominent able and
active members. Mr.. Smith was a member
OF the little band Of explorers which first dis
covered and occupied the then desert spot
where the flourishing city now stands, and
as " historian" Of the organization, religious
and secular. he kept a record OF every event
and incident which occurred in the expe-
Tienee OF its people from the founding of the
church 10 the day Of his death. His I1nOwl-
edge, therefore, of the people, history and
resources. not OF Utah alone, but of all the
adjacent country, was something wonderful,
and perhaps exceeded even that of Brigham
Young himself, which has always been
counted quite remarkable.

church, Hon George q. Cannon, the present
delegate in Congress, viii doubtless ill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr.. Smith
and many persons think he will ultimately
DC called TO the place now occupied by M
Young, when the time 20 provide a successor
for the head or the church arrives. Whether
Mr.. Cannon will also be chosen 10 succeed
bir. Smith IN the Office OF 50 historian" is M,
stated, but more competent person for the
place can hardly be found in the territory.
