PACIFIC RAILWAYS.
Defeat of the Reilly Funding Bill
May BE IndOrsed.

Defeat of thc Reilly Funding Bill
May BE Endorsed.
CHICAGO. July 6.-The California rail-
road issue is to play its part in the con-
vention. A plank which indorses the ac-
ton Of the Fifty-third Congress in defeat
ing the Reilly Pacific railroad funding bin
will be presented to the committee on reso-
lutions, and its Incorporation in the plat
form asked for.
There was talk Of a plank committing
the party against any plan for funding the
Pacific railroad debts to the government.
but the California men concluded that the
chances of securing such a plank were
smaller than for the less comprehensive ex-
preston.
The western and southern democrats
were nearly unanimous against the funding
plan. however. and they seem to be in con
troll. SO the Californians are very hopeful
that they will carry their point. Ex-Con-
gressman Caminetti and Congressman Ma
guire declare that the adoption of their
proposed railroad plank will prove a
stronger card for the party on the Pacific
coast than the free silver declaration even

The Essential Point,

Shrewd and successful adver-
tisers know that bogus, fake
circulation, given away or sold
at a nominal figure and predes-
tined to the gutter, ash pile and
garbage dump, does not bring
results.
Advertisers pay for profitable
results and to get them they
know that a home circulation is
essential. That's why the ad-
vertising columns of The Star
are a daily directory of the Sue
cessful business men of Wash
ington.

the Missouri farmer today. Bland bands
followed by marching clubs besieged the
corridors of all the hotels and little crowds

We are the Bland Club from K. C.
We're hot stun.
That's no bluff.

to what will come of 1t Is Indicated by
Altgelds reluctance to take sides. The

Bland base their opposition on the ground
that he will be weak in Cook county, and
cannot carry the state. The question OF
finding means to carry the state Is what
is to decide how the delegation will stand.
