THE COAL QUESTION.

A gentleman who has before had
something TO cay in these columns
concerning the coal monopoly under
which the c,tJ Ia suffering, again
treats on the matter this morning.
His plan nov is to have the Leeisls-
tlre Authorize the municipal corpora
ton TO borrow money upon low
interest-5earing bonds, with which 10
construct a naTroW-gauge railroad to
the coal fields of Pleasant Valley.
The question Of coal is one that has
bothered the people of Salt Lake a
good deal, and it looks as If it would
be a source Of constant annoyance for
q good many years to cone. The
Union Pacific Company have control
ofthe eituation. and how to change it
without 6 greater struggle than can
well be made just now is not clear,
The construction of the Utah Eastern
Railroad to Coalville promises some
relief, but it may be asked if it will be
permanent? The history OF railroad
construction hereabouts is by no
mesns reassurisg to these who hope
to reap tie benefits of fall in the
price OF coal by the opening of this
line through the Park. As before
stated in the HERALD, il it shall be-
come necessary to do SO in order to hold
the coal monopoly the Union Pacific
will make the Eastern so unproft-
able an Investment to the builders
hat the latter will be forced to sell the
road to the U. P. or form d combins-
ton to keep up the price Of fuel.
That was how the thing was man
aged with the Utah and Pleasant Val
ley road. The U. & P. V. folks
found upon the completion of their
line that one end OF it was in an I'M
mense coal bank, ami the other end
might as we'll have been there too,
30 far SIS any profits from the gale OF
coal we're concerned. Without the
consent of the Utah Southern only an
inconsiderabls market could be OF
tanned. Under the circumstances but
one of two things could be done
either sell the road to the Southern,
Dr. what would have been practically
he same thing, to Jay Gould and
associates, or enter into an agreement
o keep up the price of coal. The
after vas done, and nobody, except
be shareholders, has received any I

A GENTLEMAN SEEDS the HERALD
note saying: "In this mornings
issue you announce that you were in
favsr of General Murray for Cover
nor. This surprised me, as had re-
garded Emery as the HERALD's
choice" Our correspondent couldn't
have read ms Alright. The Herald
has never said Emery was ia choice
for Governor. We preferred him by
long odds to any Of the numerous
candidates and applicants mentioned
for the place; but whsa we heard
that the "handsomest man in Ken
t1eky" wanted the Office, that de-
cidei Us in favor Of General Murray.

ways gone good deal on pretty"

benefits from the opening of the new
road. Will not the Utah Eastern,
which now seems certain to go
through, prove g repetition o! theI
Pleasant Valley history?
Our correspondent discovers again
that even if the Utah Eastern shall
be able to win in the contest in which
it is about to engage, full relief can,sc:
come from it. The Weber coal Is
only suitable for household uses, and
cannot be employed successfully as a
heating agent for blacksmithing and
other Industries. Heretofore the
Rock Springs coal has been the
almost sole reliance OF blscksmiths
and smelters; but it is roR rumored
and the scarcity of the article in
the market gives an air of truth to
the story-thst the Rock Springs beds
are being worked out, or at least eau
net be operated at a profit. If this
be true, toe only other resource is the
Pleasant Valley and Sanpete veins.
It is already seen how unsatisfactory
it would be to rely upon them under
the existing circumstances and con-
ditiens.
But when we come to talk of Salt
Lsks City constructing a railroad
to Pleasant Valley, q serious question
arises. It is easy enough to say
borrow the money, and it would per-
haps be easy enough to actually boz
row what is required, but it would
have ID be repaid sometime. II
view of the faos that Salt Lake is al.
ready incurring pretty heavy obi
CATION for water, the propriety of in
creasing the load, even were the
legislature willing to grant the re-
quired extra power. may be CUES
toned. 1t is perhaps true that with
such a railroad as is suggested, the
inhabitants OF the city would gain in
the reduced price OF fuel 8 muct
larger sum than the interest charge
on the money invested in its CON
structioD; but the property owner
would hardly ike to have their take
increased proporti0nately with tn
other reduction. It would be q diff
cult matter to make the masses &c
how taey were benefited, though
might be plain enough to the reason
ing statistician. The undertaking il
too great, ard would find very ieV
influential advocates in the city
! Some other Plan will have to be pre-
scented.

ton by the Democratic party who
possesses more, or IN a higher degree,
of the elements of a good judge than
E. M. Hughes, Esq, of Montgomery
county. He is "native and to the
manor born," is of the people, of ripe
years, well educated in the law aid
otherwise, of large and valuable ex-
perience, without a suspicion upon
his private n professional character,
singularly free from prejudice Or
passion, all the elements Of whose
mind are eminently Judicial, a calm,
methodical, logical thinker, a careful,
critical and unwearied Investigator,
and an admirably we'll balanced
mind and sound Judgment.
He is now, and always has been, a
Democrat of the straightest sect

their wants and their interests, and
sy%mpathizes with them; educating
himself while supporting a mother
and her family Of little ones; after

profession with success and to emil

fellow-citizens, and IN supporting him

valuable element for a good judge of
a circuit court that Mr.. Hughes does
not possess to a conspicuous degree.
He is cautious, deliberate and digni-
fed in any position, and in those re-
spects none excel him. Mild, yet
firm; calm, yet bold; modest, yet
vigorous he would grace any bench.
He is a firm friend, and his county
has shown its friendship for this
county as it stood solid, as l under

State convention at its last session.
Should not their efforts be 1ecipro-
Gated by Audrain delegates in the
judicial convention? Has not locality
something to do with this matter?
Ought not rotation of counties to be
