BL-hN TON DUNCAN.

Ho IL Aroused to Wrath Over Alleged
LsbsIous Utterancss.
The Evening Express has gone and
done it. 1t has aroused the wrath of
Col. Biantou Duncan, W no has been fig
uring somewhat prominently OF late in
the public press. This time it was in
connection with the singular flight of
Mise Alma Floyd from her home in East
Los Angeles, to escape from a supposed
impending tidal wave which she ex-
pected would destroy the city.
Colonel Duncan says he has been
grossly misrepresented, and that those
who informed the HERALD reporter that
he had made the prophecy, gave false
Information.
He called at the HERALD Office last
evening and stated that he had filed a
100000 libel suit against the Express
comp pany for publishing articles in
which it is stated that the young
woman's mental excitement was in part
caused by predictions Of his. The COM

plaintiff further snys that the defen-
dant irt1ssue connecting hiB name with

parading so strcoiously her absence
from home, and charging that her mind
was unbalanced because of words wris-
ten by plaintiff in his paper, the Peoples
Union. malicouely sought to diminish
the plaintiffs reputation for respectable.

injuring plaintiff, to impair his condi-
ton by exposing him to disgrace, and
representing him as charlatan. sell
constituted seer and 'soothsayer,' and
as reckleBsly frightening good and estim
able girls by his prophecies.
Plaintiff further says that he made
no learned dissertations On Psychology,
peychometry and psychomaChy,' and
that he did not publish any prediction
that on August 80, 1894. an immense
tidal wave would sweep over the country
and submerge the city OF Los Angeles.'
Plaintiff says that the words ueed by
defendant, and the article as q whole,
were false and defamatory, and we'll
known to be 40 by the defeudants.
Plaintiff says that in no Issue OF his
paper up to the time of Miss Floyd'e de-
parture on Thursday last" (Aug. 8,
1889 was there any statement as to q
tidal wave to ''submerge Los Angeles"
Plaintiff says that by reason OF the
said false and defamatory words and
articles concerning him he has been
damaged in the sum OF $40, 900, where
fore plaintiff demands Judgment against
the said defendant in the sum of 500 900
and for his costs in this suit expended,
and prayH for such other and further
order as may be just.

From the extremely harsh anti.
Chinese measure brought in by the
Executive a short while ago, from
which it ignominiously backed down
at the glimmer OF the Mongol teeth,
to the refusal OF the Executive with
its sugar majority to close the door
against practically unlimited Chinese
immigration, in the guise OF "domes.
tic servants" is q long leap. The

BLOOD WILL TELL.
The Supreme Court Decides a Cues
ton of Inheritance.

An interesting question OF inheri.
tance was settled by the Supreme
Court in a decision briefly reported
yesterday. A woman was married
twice, having one son by the FIRST
husband and three children by the
second. The first son died leaving
issue. One Of the three children OF
the second marriage, a woman, had
a son who inherited land from her,
and this son died in his fathers life
time. Then the father died. The
mother in the first instance and her
two husbands had died in the mean
time. judge Cooper of the Circuit
Court, in a decision filed on March
z, held that the two surviving chill
dren by the second marriage should
take all OF the estate inherited, as
stated previously, by a father from
his infant son, and that the issue of
the son Of the half blood by the first
marriage take nothing. This deci-
sion was made under the provision
OF the statute that the children of
the half blood inherit equally with
those OF the whole blood Of the
same degree, provided that, where
the estate came to the intestate by
descent from someone Of his ances-
tors, all those who are not of the
blood Of such intestate shall not in
herit.
The decision Of the Circuit Court
reverses the decision Of Judge Coop.
or, holding that the children OF the
son by the first marriage are of the
blood Of the child of their fathers
half brother. Mr.. Magoon fought
the case for the ultimate winners,
being opposed by MIR. Hartwell.
The case caused much interest in
legal circles.

The papers from the United
States received by the Mari
posa" contained more news of
a bloodthirsty character than
has been read here in a de-
cade. From all parts of the
world came accounts of dis
content, uprisings and blood
shed. From California to
Maine regiments of the UNI
employed are. forming and
marching to Washington for
the purpose Of placing their
grievances before Congress.
Never, perhaps, in the history
Of the Great Republic has
there been such a demand by
labor on capital. Can anyone
see the ultimate RESULT The
increased population in the
United States has placed the
bread. winner in excess of the
demand; there are not enough
places to GO around. In the
mining districts men have been
thrown out Of employment
through national legislation;
in the manufacturing districts
overproduction during the past
year has been the cause of
mills closing down and throw
ing the operatives out of en-
ployment. Poverty begets
crime, anarchy and socialism.
The anarchist war cloud that
has hung for years like a pail
over Europe has separated
and a portion Of it casts a grim
shadow over the Western
Hemisphere. The laws of ma.
ture are more oppressive to
the poor man than the laws OF
government, and with the ra
pidly increasing numbers to
the unemployed something
must explode. Public i'm
provements must begin so
that work may be given the
idle and willing workmen or a
bloody war must follow, not
one OF supremacy in politics but
a rebellion with the poor on
one side and the wealthy on
the other. What a blest place
is Hawaii AN oasis in the
desert Of strife. Having few
manufactures, overproduction
has not thrown men on the
streets; being far away from
the main land it does not pre-
sent the same attraction to the
wanderers who do only
enough work to keep body
and soul together, and being
free from that class of society
we are less liable to the trou.
BILE which usually follows their
arrival in a community. An
other and more probable rea-
son for the existence Of peace
in Hawaii is the fact that we
sell goods to meet the condi-
ton of the times.
Everyone needs a stove but
the trouble has always been in
the price. 1t was not until we
appeared OH the scene that the
price Of stoves and kitchen
utensils were brought down
within the reach OF the man of
small or even moderate means.
The celebrated "Pansy" stove
costs less money, burns less
fuel and will last longer than
any other stove in the market.
The low price Of sugar in
creases the demand for a
strong fence for little money.
The Jones Locked is pre-emi-
nently the best for people who
have land and who wish a
fence strong enough to keep
in cattle. Eight cents for a
steel stay and five washers is
just half what you will have to
pay for redwood post. The
stay and washers will outlast a
half dozen posts and your
fence will be stronger and will
never sag. A sample order
