Short Line railway, 146 miles west of
Granger, the junction of the Union Pa
eific. and 6S miles east of Poeatello. the
junction of the Utah Northern Railway

mineral springs in its immediate vicin-
ity, among them the famous Hooper
and Ninety Per Cent" and because of
the already aseertained medicinal pro-
perties of their waters, in connection
with magnificent climate and scenery.
good hunting and fishing, in forest and
stream near by, will in the near future
make SODA the most noted health and
pleasure resort in the west, If not in the
whole country.
The town contains a population of
about five hundred; all branches of bust
ness are represented, including four
stores carrying general merchandise.

cities. have already determined to erect
cottages for the occupancy OF their fam

New Church for Bellevue.

The Idaho Presbytery which was in
session at Malad City last week donated
$1,000 toward the erection OF Presby-
terian church at Bellevue, providing our
citizens raised a like amount for the
same purpose. This is a generous offer
which certainly will not be lost by our
people whether religious or non-retig-
ious. For $4,000 very substantial and
attractive church can be erected which
will prove a credit to the city. It will
surely be erected during the coming

the duty of the committee specifically
and affirmatively, setting forth it's powers
and privileges, and distinctly marking the
lines, passage beyond which will be
deemed usurpation. These two things
accomplished, the party will be knit
together more firmly than ever, and
unity will be accomplished that is now de.
pendent altogether upon the possible
action of the central committees in every
county in the State, and keeps the party
continually in a state of doubt and uncer-
tainty.
For instance, we know that it expresses
the best sentiment of the Republican party
to say that no central committee in city or
county has or should have the power to de-
fine the policy of the party, or promulgate
platforms for it-as has been done. Nor
to search for candidates, or put them for
ward, or use the machinery of the party or
the influence of committee membership in
the interest of any ambitions has been
done. Nor to chose from the party ranks
delegates to conventions that have it in
their power to bind or loose the party con-
scieuce or announce the party faith. Com
mittees, in short, are the servitors, not the
masters of the party.
If this is not clearly understood to be the
law of the party now, the sooner it is en-
acted into party law and written down so
unequivocally that there can be no mis-
take, the better for all concerned. If the
men who assume to be leaders have the
wisdom that should characterize such, they
will do their utmost to bring and keep
party government as close to the ranks as
is possible II the men in the ranks do
not then respond to the call to formulate
party declaration, no blame can be laid
upon the leaders,

TIE TROUBLE III MANITOBA.

To-day the Legislative Assembly of the
province of Manitoba is to assemble. The
Importance of the event is found in the
attitude of the agriculturists of that vigor-
GUS little provincial State toward the Cow
eminent OF the Dominion. 1t promises to
be a session in which TIE first serious pro-
test against Canadian rule will be entered
accompanied by threat OF secession, or
rebellion against constituted authority.
Manitoba sincerely desires independence.
That is at the bottom of ell the recent
agitation in the Winnipeg region. As we
have heretofore remarked, there is no
probability OF Manitoba successfully re-
sisting the Government. However, should
the province make the attempt, it will in
volve the Government very seriously.
Nothing more unhappy for it could come
about than the necessity of using force.
The federation is not a very strong bond !;
the people of British Columbia have very
little sympathy with the Government.
Those upon the border are animated by the
example of the Northwestern States of
our own Union, and desire thai freedom of
action which they witness in their Ameri-
can neighbors daily. Manitoba desires to
construct railroads on plans of her own
and secure transport for her incoming
goods and outgoing products of her own
choosing This demand the Government
resists, declaring that Manitoba must be
bound by the Federal railroad laws, and
pay the tariff on supplies, to which the
Government gives its assent. Against this
declaration the people are very largely op-
posed, and the opposition takes a violent
form. Il must eliminate very shortly,
and the probability is that at the session
of the Legislature now to be held there
will be advanced measures that will lead TO
an open rupture. That Manitoba will,
however, declare her independence, we do
not anticipate. So small a number of peo-
pie must realize, when brought to the
climax Of the situation. that resistance
by force of arms will be useless. Their
wrongs are great enough, to be sure; but
not all wrongs are righted, and not all
States are able to shake off obnoxious
authority
