word by Load-r John Redmond of
tho Irish party, has plaod him In a
nUuatlon wliei ho must cither bo
denounced by all conservatives a a
wild-eyed aua-rbUt or by all lib
erals as a reactionary tyrant. Mon
archy's utand'ii" in Enclaud is nono
too secure Just now, at beat, and to
earn tho enmity of Hdwnrd either
great party might easily mean Its
complete overturning. Edward real
izes this and doesn't want to figure
In politics at all. Hut tUero Is no es

have always done It confldontlally.
So long as It was between thoso two

It has become public property.
Ho lias also other troubles In sight,
Premier Auqulth may resign. It then
will bo necessary for tho king to ask
Conservative Leader Balfour to form

decline, but It bo accepts ho will bo
voted out of office on tho first bal

liouso of commons. Upon this, his

Jacksonville wants a railroad to tbo
Dluo Ledgo copper district, and wanta
It bad enough to make a determined
effort to get It. Having offered John
R. Allen a right of way to build to
the Blue Ledge mine, residents ot
Jacksonville hive appointed a com
mittee, and this committee has al
ready raised several hundred dollars
with which to send men to interview
property holders and obtain rights ot
way. Jacksonville has taken Lold of
tbls proposition as alio has never
taken hold of such a proposition be
fore. Tho mistake ot 30 years ago
in letting the Southern Pacific get
away from them is not to be repeat
ed. The following U the otf.'clal com
mittee to securo a right of way for
a railroad from Jacksonville to the
Blue Ledge: Jeremiah Nunan, chair
man; County Judgo J. It. Nell, "W.
C. Kitto, Lewis Ulrlch, Dr. T. T.
Shaw, Frank Cameron, Miles Caa
troll, Charles Dnnford, Sr., G. N. Low
Is, D. W. Bagshaw, Frank Edwards,
J. M. Dewee and J. Hartman.
Mr. Allen met with the residents
of Jacksonville on Tuesday orenlng
to tako up the matter of building an
electric lino through tho city. To
wards this tho greatest interest wa3
shown, and Mr. Allen was assured
that Jacksonville wanted an electric
road and would give, him necessary
franchises. Following this a road to'
tho Blue Ledgo was proposed, and
Mr. Allen was asked it ho would con
struct such a road should a right ot
way bo given. Mr. Allen replied that
he would most favorably consider
such a proposition, and would In all
likelihood do so, whereupon tho res
idents of Jacksonville promised Mr.
Allen that thoy would get him such
a right of way.
Tho committee lost no timo In get
ting busy.
Realizing that a certain amount ot
monoy would be needed for prelim
inary expenses so tho coramlttco
might go out and Interview laud own
ers, tho first stop was taken to raise
the coin. By noon thoy lad sevoral
hundred dollars subscribed and now
tbo committee plans to go out and
get the necessnry rights of way. There
Is no doubt in .ho minds ot tho com
mitted but that thoy can portuade
oach property ownor to come across.
A road to tho Bluo Ledgo from
Jacksonville would be of great bene
