Asiatic seat of war is most con
licting as to the presumed move

to which the Ervon column were

may be in themselves utterly un
important, they show that the
Turkish right is operating on
Russian ground, and though the
Turks may never advance a stel

Good Times Ahead.

Mr.. JENNINGS, the London cor

quite enough TO be sure that the

ly diverted from these shores. 1t
is to America that England must
look for the supplies requisite TO
make up her own deficiency in
food. 1t is evident, too, that the
war will not be over as soon as
some people supposed. Russia is,
at the time | write, in Il position
Of great peril, and | have heard
some military men express an
opinion that another defeat such
as that at Plevna would cause
the whole campaign to collapse,
and compel the Gar to make
peace on any terms. Nothing
short of such a contingency as
that actually happening would in.

that Russia will 30 on "pegging

DEATH OF BRIGHAM YOUNG.
He BreatIles his Last Among
his wives and COnCubineS.

Brigham Young, the Great Nor
mon Apostle, died in Salt Lake
City, Utah, on the goth Of last
month, among his wives and con-
cubines. 1t is only another case of
"cheating the gallows." Wheth-
er the Church has any successor
for the High Priesthood capable
of filling his shoes is a matter Of
doubt. He has proven himself Fl
matter Of great executive ability,
and the New Zion owes to him
much Of the success it has achiev-
ed. Brigham was born in Yer
mont, in 1901, and was conse-
quently rs years old at the time
Of his death. Though his mental
and physical faculties seem to
have been unimpaired up to a
very late day, it is not impossible
that the trial and execution Of
Lee, and the alleged exposures
which grew out it, have had much
to do with fastening his decline.
The State Of Ohio was the scene
of the great Mormon's first debut
in public life, he having joined
the Church in 1882, when it was
in full sway at Kirkland. In 1911,
on the death Of Joe Smith,, he was
chosen President and Prophet,
and led the emigration from Nau-
VOC to the far West in 1916. Hay
ing peopled this "Promised Land'
with wonderful rapidity, he or
ganized the State Of Deseret, in
1919, aud demanded admission to
the Union-an honor which Con
gress very properly declined, or
ganizing the Territory Of Utah in
lieu thereof. Late in 1850 Willard
Fillmore appointed Brigham Gov
ernor Of the new Territory, which
place he held until ousted, at the
point of the bayonet, in 1858, by
Buchanan's appointee, Alfred
Cumming. Since then he has
been content with his spiritual
rule, though frequently endeav-
oring to secure the admission Of
Utah as a State; in which case the
Mormon's would, OF course, have
secured the Government, and
