We ARE not surprised at the
hearty manner in which the sugges-
ton that Mr.. E. W. Tullidge write
and publish the history of Salt Lake
City, has been seconded. Many of
the leading men and women of the
place have endorsed the project by
their signatures to the petition
to the council, and it is quite likely
the matter will soon assume def
mite shape. 1t is clear to all that
the history of the city should be
written at this time, when all
the facts can be gathered and veri-
fed while those familiar with s cit
Lake from the first are yet here.
An no person is better qualified for
the task than Mr.. Tullldge, who is
not only personally familiar with
many years of the city's history,
but is well acquainted with the
chief events of the earlier years of
the towns existence. We under
stand the matter is soon to be pre-
sented to the city council, and hope
that it will receive the favorable
consideration necessary to the sue.

The NEVADA journals are assert
irg that Senator Jones is already at
work laying plans for reelection.
His term will not expire for two
years, but as political matters are
somewhat uncertain in the Sage
bush State, he is taking time by the
forelOck, and making his path as
certain as it is possible to make it
beforehand. Some of Jones friends
have lately been given federal
offices, and the impression is pre-
valemt that Jones men are to be put
into every place where it is posi-
bic to get them, and where they
can be of service to him either
in the way of organizing or
influencing. AS a matter of
course the fight against
him has also set in, and will wax
bitter as the gentleman shows his
hand and the time for election ap-
breaches. When Jones entered the
Senate as the successor to Nye, it
was with the reputation of hav-
ing bought his way in by the laYish
expenditure of money with the leg
Islators. The charge may have
been true Or false, but 1t was gener-
ally believed, Nobody, however,
felt grieved over the matter, as the
country at large recognized as fact
that, in Nevada, all the offices were
for sale, and the largest price usu-
ally received the highest "honors'
In the east, and in Washington, the
circumstance that Jones was under
stood to have bought and paid for
the senatorship, was somewhat
against the gentleman, the very
natural popular belief being
that his chief qualification
FOR the place was no qualification
whatever, being simply a big bank |
account. What Tabor, of Colorado,
s, is what the country thought
Jones was; but the latter was not
ong in reversing the popular esti-
nate of himself. He soon proved
hat he had brains as we'll as money,
nd that the elements of statesman
hip were not wanting 10 him. He
las served ten years, and for at last
tx years Of that time has ranked
mong the ADLER members of very
body of men. The
entleman has been a pronounced
9publican, it is true, but has gene
ally held broader and less par
san views than the average mem
Or OF his party. He has proven
lmself to be careful and con-
legislator, and some of his
oeeches have shown deep research
nd keen perception and apprecia-
on of the necessities. Mr.. Jones has
specially been a friend to the west
nd its great industry, silver min
lg. He did more, perhaps, than
ny other man in Congress for sill
er, his famous speech in favor of
Istice to the abused metal being
he of the most mastery and ex
austive arguments ever delivered
the halls of Congress. Whatever
lay be said of Jones and the man.
er Of his successive elections, he
as been a true friend to his state
nd the far west. Nevada has
ever had a better man in the SEN ;

better to replace him should there
