Major Wilkes leaves to day for the
scene of his railroad surveying oper.
atoms IN Idaho; q railroad that pro-
misses for Salt Lake as much as the
Deep Creek scheme, a direct line be-
tween this city aud Haley, reducing
the distance to 278 miles, whereas by
the Union Pacific It Is 355 miles with
transfers at Pocatello aud Shcshone.
Major Wilkes says the grades are not
over one per cent, while the curves
are OF no account until the mountain
country is reached, when the shortes.
curve is twelve per cent. The new
road will run from this city via the
south shore to Lucine on the Central
Pacific, l26 miles. Here. Salt Lake
sleepers and passengers can be switch>
ed Oft and taken direct to Salt Lake.
thus saving the heavy grades of Ter.
race and Pronontory and fifty>seven
miles of travel, to say nothing of time
saved. The l26 miles ought to be
travelled in three hours. From Lucine
the lines can be run up Grouse creek
and down Goose creek to Twin Falls,
about one hundred miles. Thence
tho line is direct to HALEY via Sho.
shone Falls, 278 miles from this city,
OF saving of seventy>sevrn miles.
The road will cost $4,000 a mile,
this sum covering evervthing-roling
stock and all. Major Wilkes says the
matter Of bonds has been arranged in
the East satisfactorily, responsible
parties are behind the scheme, and
that in less than eighteen months the
grade will be under way. The road
can be easily extended west to meet
the Idaho North & South road, thus
opening direct communication be-
tween this city and the already famous
Seven Devils mining camp. The
proposed road will also tap the Smo-

WORK 10 BEGIN WITHIN Sixty
DAYS.

As is generally known, . number Of
residents of this city have, during the
past few weeks, taken the preliminary
steps to have = new railway route sur.
veyed between this city and junction
Bar, by way Of the Gold Belt. They
organised. incorporated, and had the
preliminary surveys made, aud
the route located, and thus 10.
cured the right. Of. way. All this was
done At their own private expense,
and solely for the public benefit, as
they knew that they could not expect
to secure any personal profit from the
mere location or even the building OF
the road, except such as every property
owner i" this region would share in.
They have done so we'll that the
route from HALEY via the Gold Belt
has already been accepted by one of
the strongest financial syndicates of
the United States, and this scribe has,
among other evidence. read q letter
from the home manager Of that syndi-
cate, in which this sentence occurs:
The funds are in our hands, and We
wish the arrangement completed
within sixty days, that We may begin
building the road at once.
As above stated, the promoters
here have paid eli expenses so far,
with the understanding that they
would be repaid their outlay on the
beginning of work. But they mus.
now "tis" their survey from Haley to
the Twin (>hoshone) Falls, where the
Salt Lake and Haley Railway survey
ends. They mus. also secure the
right OF way through to the Idaho
State line, except where the route is
over the public domain.
To do this they need more money
than they cans pare. They have there.
fore concluded to appeal to the proper
~ owners for subscriptions amounting
to $500. These subscriptions will
be on exactly the same footing as the
advances already made by these gem
tlemen. and will even have the pref.
erencs in the order of payment. That
is, they will be paid first. Immediately
the. syndicate binds itself to begin
building the road ut once and to !
it from Salt Lake City to
Junction Bar within two years.
The people of Haley will doubtless
respond with their accustomed LIBERAL
ty, and thus assure the beginning of
work on the road within sixty days.

TOO MUCH FAT.

Grover Cleveland and John L. Sullivan
are alike afflicted. Both have developed an
unpleasant tendency to accumulate more
flesh than is consistent with physical health.
Neither seems to have an abnormal tendency
to brain development. Nature has not
made them that way. Both are readily
distinguished from ordinary men. but the
marks of distinction are clearly physical.
Mr.. Sullivan recently had to decline fistic
encounter with young man whom he de-
clares is not in his class as pugilist be-
cause of an abnormal stomach development.
1t is now said that Mr.. Cleveland is going
into training, though the name of the an
tagonist he proposes to meet is not mem
toned. He probably wants to be in fighting
trim on general principles. There is man
in New York named Hill who is always in
condition and always ready for a set-to.
Possibly Mr.. Cleveland regards Mr.. Hill as
his Corbett The public will watch the
progress of these distinguished Democrats

ton with interest May the best man win.

BRITISH sEALERS.

The British Columbia sealers are said to
ridicuie the action of the American Gov
eminent in sending a force to Behring Sea
sufficient to accomplish its avowed purpose.
They say they Will pay no attention to any
action on the part of our Government to re-
strict their sealing until negotiations now
pending decide the question whether
Behring Sea is an open or closed sea, They
propose to send their sealing schoonerS to
the sealing grounds as usual and take the
chances. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no repetition of last years proceedings
on the part of the American Government.
Ii force is used in the capture of sealers,
enough force should be employed to make
the capture effective. Taking a sealer, put
ting a man aboard of her and letting the
captain sail into British port and there re-
main without being called to account is
enough to provoke the ridicule OF our north
ern neighbors. The President has declared
sealing Illegal and a sufficient force should
be employed to make the proclamation good.

srEEKER REEDS RULING.

The Alta saws in reference to the failure of
the Democrats to test the constitutionality of
Speaker Reeds decision on the quorum prop
osition: Reed himself saved the Democrats
the trouble of constituting the constitutional
point, for, when in the minority, he de-
clared the constitutional theory of a quo
rum to be mot the physical presence of
majority, but its presence and participation
in the business of the House. " Admit
ting that Mr.. Reed advanced this theory it
does not follow that it is binding upon Con-
gress. MI Reed is not the Supreme Court.
The Democrats announced their intention to
appeal from MIR. Reeds decision as
Speaker, not to Mr.. Reed as a member of
Congress. but to the Supreme Court. Their
failure to prepare case for submission is
an indication at least that they are not GER
tain Of the ground on which they proposed
to stand. Quoting Mr. Reed against him.
self does not establish either opinion which
MIR. Reed may have expressed. In regard
to constitutional authority the first clause
of the fifth section of the first article of
the Constitution says that "a majority of
each (House) shall constitute quorum to
do business; but smaller number may ad-
journ from day to day, and may be author
lied to compel the attendance of absent
lNihbNLSs III ouCu HldIlUtI anu uuutI Sutl
penalties as such House may provide"
If this is not giving the Speaker power to
enforce the attendance of members of the
House it certainly authorizes the House to
give him such power. The A{ta says that
instead of establishing majority rule in the
House Mr.. Reed and his party have estab-
lisbed minority rule. This position is based
on the fact that measures have been passed
which did not receive the votes of a ma
jority of the House. When 4 legislative
body is nearly evenly divided into two par
ties a measure rarely receives majority of
the whole. If the minority in such cases
vote solid the majority must have about
every man in his seat TO pass bill. This,
we know, is impracticable. II the House
must wait for quorum composed Of one
party it might do nothing but adjourn from
day to day during an entire session. But if
minority is as constant in attendance rs
our contemporary held that the majority
should be, no bill could become law with
out receiving very nearly the entire ma
jority vote. If two States have been ad-
mtted by 100 votes OF the $50 which COM
pose the House it is because so many Demo-
Gratis were absent or refused to vote that
129 was majority Of those voting

A UNION OF IDEAS.

The engagement of Miss Winnie Davis to
MIR. Fred Wilkinson is typical of the
changes which have Tor the last quarter of
century been going on among the people.
Miss Davis is the daughter of about the
only leader Of the Confederacy who did
not accept the verdict of the war His
daughter doubtless shared his political
sentiments to an extent, but fate would
have it that her wOman's heart should 90
to grandson of one of the old abolitionists
%hofT9,6r father regarded with adherence.
There was period along before the war
when an abolitiOniSt was held to be a.
greater enemy TO society than common
law-breaker. Samuel j. May, the grand
lather Of Miss Davis chosen husband, was
one OF the pioneers in the agitation which
resulted in the war and final abolition of
slavery and overthrow Of the Confederacy.
II anybody had told jefferson Davis when. as
aSenator from Mississippi he was the most
extreme champion of the constitutional
rights OF the shareholders, that daughter
VI his would marry the grandson OF one
OF the hottest abolitionist leaders the Sena-
tor would have regarded the prediction as
impossible Of fulfllment. But the North
and South have been coming together in
this way ever since the war ended
