REILLY FUNDING BILL AGAIN.
The MCGOWAN substitute for Bledsoe;s
resolution on the Reilly funding bill
which was adopted by the Senate, was
read, and Bledsoe spoke in opposition to
1t, scoring Senator McGowan and SAVING
that he could rise superior to personal
anlmoslty In measure so Important to
the people OF this State and country, He
opposed IL Tor the reasons that it was I'M
lntelllglble and vague, that it was q
Southern PaclIlc scheme on It's face and
replaced clear and inIelligible resolu-
tion. The other body of the Legislature
had, without waiting for the concurrence
of the Assembly, telegraphed it to WASH
lngton as concurrent resolution. The
Secretary of War cannot contiscate tho
road. There Is only one way for the road
TO pass into Government hands. and that
Is by foreclosure. This proposition to
connScate is an absurdity, and he hoDed
the Assembly would refuse to concur i'm T.
he hoped the Assembly would readopt
its own resolution and send it to WASH
ington.
Brusie did not conceive this to bs an oc-
caslon where q member had a right to in
dulge IN lihelouS attacks on an honorable
member OF the other house. or an a1nbi-
tious politician could bolster up the
views OF party that he may win his way
to notice. There is no division between
the houses. lie did not believe in a
iheEnoer Dldding Tor cheap notoriety by
revlllng other members who were lust
as honest and honorable as he ever dared
TO be. lAnpiause. The substitute con-
talns the GeslrcS of the people, aud he
hoped 1t would be adopted without split
ting hairs and without considering
whether the gentleman from Humboldt
desires little cheap notoriety or the
Senator named has any personal differ
ence with him. We should not permit
one man to build himself up from the
standpoint of contemplate politics. ZAP
