FIESTA De Los ANGELES,
Riverside Will Have an nOr-
ange Day" for the Ex-
CurSioniStS.
The Half Million Clubs Idea Widens,
North and South Shake
Hands.

The excursion to the Los Angeles fiesta.
under the auspices of the Half-million
Club, now promises an attendance of from
500 to 1000 people. Tickets are being sold
rapidly.
Chairman W. M. Bunker of the promo
ton committee last evening issued circu-
lar letter to be forwarded to mayors OF
cities on the route selected for the excur-
sion. The circular says:
The scope of the excursion project has
rapidly widened, and 1t is now apparent that
we may not only benefit the State by wiping
out all sectional lines but that there is an OBJ
portunity to achieve cooperation that will
hasten State development The movement in
this direction promises the greatest results OF
the kind in the history of California
In order that we may utilize for its full value
the gathering at Los Angeles we will form an
organization which will have for it's ultimate
object the promotion of California interests in
the Eastern States.
That the excursion may be all that we desire
in practical way, win you kindly name one
or two delegates from your city to represent
you in the executive committee of this new or
gan1zation and also to especially represent you
in the semi-official party at the fiesta? The
fiesta committee has asked of us that we send
to them the names of the gentlemen who will
constitute the executive committee not later
than thursday morning Please wire the name
and address OF your delegate to Max Meyburg
director-general of fiesta, Los Angeles Cal.
Please let us know the number of people who
will join the excursion from your place,
whether they will meet our train, what accom-
modations they will require and what portion
of the Itinerary they will take IN, SO that we
can make our arrangements accordingly. 1t is
important 10 have this information without
delay.
The fiesta will afford the people of the
northern part of California an opportunity
of seeing their State under the most favor
able auspices and in a most agreeable way
The movement is desirable one, even
from an educational standpoint, as the
people of San Francisco know very little
of the interior. and the excursion will be
run at such greatly reduced rates that any
one who wishes to learn more of this land
of golden sunshine, fruits and flowers will
hasten to take advantage of the trip.
The transportation committee has Sc
cured from the Pullman Car Company the
promise of the use of one OF their cars
during the stay of the excursion party in
Los Angeles. This will be gratuitous for

BARRON'S DARK NEMESIS.
The Colored Claimant Suing
for His Share of the
Estate.
A BIG SENSATION PROMISED
Chris Buckley VIII Be an Important
Witness at the Trial of the
Suit.

Next Friday General Dickinson will ap-
pear in the Superior Court at San Jose to
hear the case of his client, Edward Barron
(colored), who claims to be the natural son
of thedeceased millionaire VS.. Eva Barron,
the widow and administrative of the Bar
ron estate, set for hearing. This suit
promises to be sensational in the highest
degree.
The wretched story-of Edward Barron
nemesis cropped out in the recent trial
when the Barron will was broken, and
George Barron, the elder and legitimate
son, was awarded the amount he sued for.
T. j. Sullivan, Barron's agent, testified
how he had taken the negro mother of
Barron's alleged child to Louisville, KY,
bought her house there and given her a
sum of money, which, it was supposed,
would Danish her forever from Barron's
| presence. But, like Banquos ghost, she
would not down.
@She left the sunny South; she wearied
of the plantation and the society of her
race; she returned to California and be-
sieged the Barron residence; she camped
upon the trail of the weak and nervous old
man; she assaulted him when he left the
! house; she defied the special policeman
who was hired to warn her off, and she
| became the most irritating and persistent
nuisance in the closing days of the misera-
BILE millionaire's life.
| When first this dark shadow doomed
across his path Edward Barron made a
| supreme effort to purchase her absence.
| AT that period Chris Buckley was the
| supreme averter of trouble-for consider
alton. And it is claimed that said con-
! slderatlon for the decentralization of the
dusky Venus was $4,000 cash, and further
more that of this sum $4,000 found its rest
ing-place in Mr.. Buckley's jeans Howso-
ever these things be, Buckley will be
subpenaed, and ex-Agent Peter Sullivan
and Mr.. Davis, Barron's intimate friend,
will testify in regard to the amount of
money spent, why it was spent and who
pouched the major part of it.
Attorney PlllsburY, who testified at the
George Barron trial that he had received
a fee of $500 to defend the estate from the
colored boys demand, is anxious to push
the case to trial. Judge McKinstry, who
receives $4,000 year as attorney of the
estate, will assist Mr.. Pillsbury. Skeletons
will be dragged from the recesses of their
closets, and soiled linen will endure
publication in open court. For the widow
Barron is obdurate. She considers it her
duty to defend her husbands reputation,
and denies that Edward Barron (colored)
is the son of her deceased spouse.
The claimant is mulatto and a lad of
more than ordinary intelligence. His
mother is far from being comely, and even
in her youthful days must have been ex-
ceptionally i'll favored. She has already
drawn largely from the Barron estate, but,
like Oliver Twist, she wants more, and is
going to make hard fight for the Barron
dollars

Colo:
Dear Sister: Drouth has prevailed in this
section OF the country for the last two years,
which, together with the general stringency of
the times, has rendered 200 families in this
county destitute of the necessarles of life. Much
of their stock has died of hunger and extreme
cold weather. We had hoped to get an appro-
priaton from the State fund for seed grain
The bill passed both houses, but was last Fri
day declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. Seed time nearly at hand, the ground
IN condltlon never surpassed for a bountiful
harvest, and the condition of having neither
seed nor money confronts us. We appeal to all
charitable people to render such aid as thew
can to help these unfortunate families until
next harvest and thus save their homes

useful citizens. Wont you help us? Money

to reporter for The Star that never be-

years in practice before that court had he

From Justice Harlan's words it devel-
oped that the judgment Of the court was
that of but five Of the nine members of the
tribunal, thus being made the prevailing
opinion by a bare majority of one. Justice
Jackson read an opinion dissenting from
the Judgment of the court. 1t was JUS
tice Jackson's absence that caused the
rehearing of the cases, and it was general

MAJ. GEN. RUGER ARRIVES
He Will Complete the Revision of the
Army Regulations.
What He Says About This Work, for
Which He Has Been Specially
Detailed.

Maj. Gen. Thos. H. Ruger, who has just
been relieved of command of the depart
ment of The Missouri, at Chicago, by Maj
Gen. Merritt, reported at the War Depart
ment this morning for special duty under
orders issued at the time of the recent
shifting of commands consequent upon the
assignments of Brig. Gems. Bliss and Cop
pinger. He is accompanied by Mrs. Ruger
and Miss Ruger and has apartments at
the Shoreham. He is also accompanied by
Capt S. C. Mills. twelfth infantry, and
Lieut. Chas. G. Lyman. third cavalry, aids
de-camp. and by Capt. Chas. b. Hall, nine
teenth infantry. The last named officer is
specially detailed to duty under Cen
Ruger in the revision of the drill regula-
tions of the army, work assigned to Gen.
Ruger, and the completion of which is given
as a reason for his assignment to duty at
Washington, where he can have the adj
vantage of frequent necessary conferences
with the leading military authorities spe-
cially interested in the subject.
The Work of Revision.
The present drill regulations" says Gen.
Ruger, "are the work of boards which
completed their work three years ago.
They were given two years experimental
use, and each regimental commander was
given orders to note the drills of his regi-
governing his arm of the service. All of
these reports have been made, and, acting
on the suggestions made by the colonels,
We are revising the different regulations.
We have found many defects in several
things, and are changing the tactics gov
erning the use of the small arm, the old
regulations being written to cover the use
of the Springfield rifle. The new small arm
is SO different from the old that many of
the moves are Eholly impracticabla. Then
we are revising the regulations to keep
abreast of the times and other countries
who have boards now engaged in similar
work. l expect to be engaged in the work
of revision, and 1 find so much to do that
will hardly have time for anything else"
Gen. Ruger and his staff are temporarily
occupying Gen. Schofield's Offices at the
War Department until permanent quarters
can be secured

THAT was as I expected" said Post
master General Wilson, when the news of
the decision was carried to him by a Star
reporter. well. it is not so serious as the
general view of it seems to make it. If
trade revives and continues to improve as
1t has of late there will be revenue enough.
The tariff is yielding now at the rate of
$160OO0,OO0 year, and there is good pros
pect of an increasing aggregate of internal
revenue. 1t is an item seldom thought of
that the large amount of whisky taken out
of bond between the beginning of the fiscal
year-July l, 1S94-and August %, when the
new tariff went into effect, is about ex-
hausted.
From now on increasingly larger
amounts of whisky must be taken out un-
der the new tax, which adds 20 cents of
revenue from every gallon-$1.1O Is the
present tax per gallon-and this increase
will amount to over $15OOO,OOO year. TAX
en- with the increase Of revenue from Gus
toms duties the new tax on whisky will
make UP the deficit This month, you see
the internal revenue collections are S6OOO,-

raid out over $1O,OOOOOO for pensions. I
think times are improving aud the govern
ment will have all necessary revenue and

four bronze electric lamps in clusters of
three each. Partly up the shaft stand two
bronze statues, one of a cannoneer with a
rammer in his hands. On the side opposite
him is cavalrymah dismounted, with
saber half drawn and in a very spirited at
titude. On the base are circular bronze
medallions with the seals respectively of
the confederate states and of North Caro-
lima. There are two Inscriptions. One of
these is North Carolina to her confederate
dead" and the other is First at Bethel

leigh.

The Courts Opinion.

Mr.. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the
opinion of the court as follows:
Whenever this court is required to pass
upon the validity of act of Congress as
tested by the fundamental law enacted by
the people, the duty imposed demands in
its discharge the utmost deliberat,on and
care and invokes the deepest sense of re-
sponsibility. And this Is especially so when
the question involves the exercise OF
great governmental power and brings into
consideration, as vitality affected by the
decision, that complex system of govern
ment so sagaciously framed to secure and
perpetuate an indestructible union, CONF
posed of indestructible states" We have
therefore, with an anxious desire to omit
nothing which might in any degree tend to
elucidate the questions submitted, and
aided by further able arguments embody-
ing the fruits of elaborate research care
fully re-eXamined these cases, with the re-
suit that. while our former. conclusions
remain unchanged, their scope must be en-
consequences.
The very nature of the Constitution, as
observed by Chief Justice Marshall in one
of his greatest judgments, requires that
only Its great outlines should be marked,
its important objects designated and the
minor ingredients which compose those OBJ
Jects be deducsd from the nature of the
object themselves. In considering this
question, then, We must never forget, that
it is a Constitution that we are eXpound-
ing"
AS heretofore stated, the Constitution d.
vided federal taxation into two great
classes, the class of direct taxes and the
class of duties, imposts and excises, and
prescribe two rules which qualified the
grant of power as to each class. The power
to lay direct taxes, apportioned among the
several states in proportion to their rep
resentation in the popular branch of Con-
gress, a representation based popula-
ton as ascertained by the census, was
plenary and absolute; but to lay direct
taxes without apportionment was for
hidden. The power to lay duties, imposts
and excises was subject to the qualifica-
ton that the imposition must be uniform
throughout the United States.
Our previous decision was confined to the
consideration of the validity of the tax

greenbackers are fiatists, and they are op-
posing the silver movement"
An Authoritative Statement

The foregoing remarks of Mr.. Hinrichsen
may be accepted by the readers of The Star
as an authoritative statement of the plans
and purposes of the free silver democrats
of Illinois who will control the action OF
the convention to meet here June 5. The
Altgeld faction is in absolute control of
the machine of the party, and the machine
has dictated the state central committee,
the call, the primaries ana will rule the
convention.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon the
fact that, however specious the projects
of the political leaders may be, the plans
and intentions of the people are sincere and
earnest. They don't care what political
advantage may accrue to few politicians
by this movement or the benefit they will
receive from it. The one fixed idea of the
masses is that here is an opportunity to
make boom for silver coinage There is
10 trifiing in their position. They are 60
Ing into this movement with heart and soul
bent upon one idea, and they have arisen
as one man to the call of the politicians.
This is the feature that is alarming the
sound money people and the old-line con-
servative democratic leaders. They realize
what a powerful effect the movement is
sure to have upon the democracy of ad-
Joining states, and they see in the situation
elements of grave danger. n. o. M.
