THE WORLDS FAIR APPROPRIATION.

1t is now authoritatively announced
that State Controller Colgan has con-
suited with private counsel and been
advised that the law appropriating $780,
900 to the worlds fair is unconstitu-
tional There is not the slightest doubt
of the soundness of this advice. The
legislature is clearly inhibited by the
constitution from making appropriations
of this character. Some people have
very queer ideas of fundamental laws.
They seem to think that because con-
gress has appropriated money to the
worlds fair, so can California. What
ever may be the limitations in the con-
stitution of the United States upon
the power Of congress to make
appropriations, it does not follow
that because congress has made such an
appropriation the legislature of Cali
fornia can do the same. The people Of
this state had long and severe struggle
to limit the power of the legislature to
the passage of bills restricting the ex-
penditure of public money alone to the
support of the state and the institutions
directly under the control of the state.
The legislature had carried the subsidy
principle Of authorizing appropriations
of money and bonds to railroads and other
corporations blythe state, the counties and
every municipal subdivision of the state,
until it seemed as if there was no limit
to the principle. When the constitu-
tional convention met, this was
one of she burning questions it
was called upon to take into considera-
tion. 1t did so. Perhaps it went to
the other extreme but that is not the
question. The action it took became by
ratification of the people the funda-
mental law of California, and it can
only be changed by the same power
that made it. This constitutional prin-
ciple may be defeated by indirection,
but that will prove nothing against the
fact that any such legislation is viola
tion of the supreme compact. Until the
plain principle of the constitution is
changed by amendment, it is the
duty of the state officials in po-
sitions of trust to see that it is not
violated by their acquiescence or con-
nivance. We may regret that it is i'm
possible under the constitution to spend
$500, 200 at the Chicago fair. But it is
far better that we should forego this
qualification than to set the bad example
of ignoring the mandates and restric-
tions of the fundamental law of the
state, 5y breaking down the barriers
that stand between the rights of the
people and the ambition or greed of un-
scrupulous individuals or combinations.

SHE COMMENCED TO TALK,
And That of Course Ended the Scrim
mSOa

mage.
A big colored woman stood in the
middle of Washington street just west of
Pico, yesterday afternoon, throwing
stones at negro man. The man was
scared andthe woman was angry, very
angry. He had long cut extending
across one side of his head, and the
blood was dripping down on his neck.
He was an artful dodger, for his person
was, as to the stones thrown by the
painting woman, as the flea was to the
Irishman's finger. Traffic was stopped
altogether, and people came out of the
neighboring houses to view the fray.
At last man came up and asked the
big woman why she was throwing the
stones. She stopped to explain, and the
man she was throwing them at climbed
into his wagon, from which he had been
driven, and drove off at full speed. The
woman threw aparting missile and went
home.
The affair was caused by family jar.
The man was the woman's husband as
might be supposed only his wife would
dare to throw stones at man. 1t seems
he had left her last Tuesday, and yester-
day hired wagon, and foolishly after
escaping went back to get some of his
things. Then the wife got mad. She
took a piece of hoop iron and hit him
over the head, inficting the cut spoken
of, and he ran for his wagon and made
for Washington street. She took short
cut across some lots and caught up with
him and comm enced hostilties. He
was forced to retreat from the wagon
and had to dodge stones until the man
who is always in a crowd, and knows
how to meet an emergency, got the wom-
an to talk
