But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1888 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was rs. 10 columns, or 7779 columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 2s.75 columns, or s22s columns in
the aggregate, being total gain over the pre-
vious year Of 444 columns! And this, il must
be remembered, consisted exclusively of the
ordinary everyday business advertising nothing
in the way Of tax sales poll lists, election returns
ETC., such - occasionally swell the business Of

large proportion is supplied regularly to per.
manent residents of the city living in lodgings,
DC mot householders) so that its whole circula
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a distinctive and e,ariaJs
position in modern journalism, the fullness OF
its home circulation, the extent to which
1t is relied upon by members OF the
household, and particularly by the pur.
chasing portion of the community, are
the marked characteristics of the paper,
to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish parallel.
This is 10 idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter
prising business men of Washington, who seek
and know where to find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the
growth of The SrARs advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate the
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face Of adj
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story on this point:

inti-union Reasons Of the Commits

For the purpose of obtaininga con-
census of the live stock commission
dealers opinions why they were OPP
posed to union stock yards, and why
they had signed petition against 1t
the LIGHT rustler visited number
of them, and their opinions are given
below:
Emil Meyer.-If thew succeed in
getting monopoly on the stock in
terests of this city, as they propose to
attempt. it will result In losing
to this market the Mexican trade. If
they run the yard on monopolistic
principles.
Mr. O'Banion.-I am opposed to
them, and would prefer to DO my
business where | am now, but If l
found that | could do better in union
stock yards | would 60 10 them.
w. H. Steele.-If they secure exclu-
sive favors from the railroads, they
will injure everything in the stock
business TO the benefit OF three or
tour men.
Major Ben Darlington.-It will
scatter trade, instead of concentrat-
ing it.
Mr.. Inscho.-They talk of con-
trolling the trade by concentrating
it This is all bosh, as they can no
more concentrate the live stock in
terests than they can all the
business houses of this city under
one management. There are some
eighty commission dealers III this
city and they are solid IN their
hostility to any such scheme
as proposed. a. it is gotten up for the
avOwcd intent to mOnOpOliZc tn" trade,
and the announcement of this purpose is
sufficient in itself to array the other deal
crS against them. In numbers. influence
and invested capital. the commission men
far outweigh the union men, and it will
be seen that the heavy end always tells
Union stock yards cannot be established
without Il true union of the stock inter
| cStS. which is far from being cOnSumatcd
and the SO-callcd union stock yards are
merely another one of the numerous
| places of business. As to their offering
| superior facilities to the business. they
cannot do more than is already done. Tn.

| stock yards are failures. as witness the

WAS TREATED NICE
And Wants to Tell the DrummerS
Were the Best Looking.


A guest at Houston and Gal
weston has just returned from the
above twin cities an is full of praise
of the entertainment extended him
and friends by the citizens.
The bankers, the press, and the
drummers were royalty entertained,
but the drummers came out ahead in
numbers, in appearance and in hav-
ing the best time. The parade was
the largest and in it's ranks were the
finest set of men ever seen in the
state. The banquet was the grandest
and lasted the longest, until o'clock
in the morning when the toast, Good
Night" was responded to.
At Denver, on June End, will be
held the National Drummers' cOnven-
ton, where full attendance of Texas
drummers are requested to attend.
Among the new officers elected for
the next year Mr.. George BarthOlo-
male, of san Antonio, was hOnOred
with the Office of second vice-presi-
dent, recognition for the interest he
has shown at the last two fairs in San
