1.-THE Common Sentiment"

The people of Sacramento have united
in an elegant testimonial to Mrs Margaret
L. Croker, as an earnest of the deep, heart
felt feeling toward her, which is the COM
mon sentiment of the entire community OF
the Capital City, for her many noble bene-
factions and acts of public beneficence,
among which may be enumerated the addi-
ton to the City Cemetery of large tract of
land; the erection of an extensive and
beautiful conservatory; the building and
endowment of the Marguerite Home, at
a cost of 100000, and lately the presenta-
ton 20 the city of Sacramento of the "E
g. Crocker Art Gallery" with its rich con-
tents and ample grounds, aggregating in
value nearly half a million dollars, which
is the browning work of her self-impOscd
busy life The testimonial will take the
form of Il free floral festival, at the new
grand Pavilion Of the State Agricultural
Society, Wednesday afternoon and evening,
May 9th. 1t is expected that there will be
present to do honor to this most noble and
self-sacrificing woman a galaxy of talent
and culture seldom gathered at any one
time anywhere III the world. Presentations
OF flowers by societies and individuals will
be one OF the principal features of the festi-
val Many of our citizens, as old Sacra-
mentans, are in the receipt of invitations to
be present, and we hope to see YolO county
well represented on that notable occasion

The floral testimonial to be given in
honor of Mrs Crocker at Sacramento on
next Wednesday is eminently deserved.

out her money in every conceivable chan
She has aided all public spirited enterprises
and has contributed without stint to adorn
and beautify the city in which she lives.
Her benefactions, which have known
neither creed nor religion, amount to
millions of dollars. Sacramento does well

monial by grateful people will mark an
epoch in the history of that city.-[San

A Grateful Tribute.

The people OF Sacramento, approaching
the many noble acts of charity of Mrs NJ
Il. Croker, widow of the late judge L. b.
Croker, have resolved to hold a floral fes-
tival in her honor, at the pavilion, on the

pecially all former Sacramentans. Contri-
buttons of flowers will be thankfully re-
ceived by the committee III charge of the
festival, and will be taken to Sacramento
by Wells, Fargo Il Co., free of charge. Mrs.
NJ +. CrockerS benefactions have been so
numerous, so broad, so practical, and of
such Unreasonable good, that her name
has become the synonym for unpretentious
charity. a woman of wealth, she has
taught the people, in the truest sense, how
worldly possessions can be made 10 adorn
a noble character. Modestly, quietly,
with business discretion and wise dis
elimination, she has these many wears
poured good deeds from her charitable
hand The poor have been relieved by
her gentle ministration she has erected
and richly endowed a home for aged, home

good work and effort there is no church,
asylum, school, or private or public charity
institution in Sacramento which is not in
debted to her for broad, material aid Her
purse has been open TO every public call,
and has never been closed to the appeal of
the worthy poor. She has sought out the
distressed and relieved them; the sick, and
nourished theEi the weak and feeble, and
lifted them up the orphans, and cared for
them. She has aided all public-spirited
enterprises led in all efforts to adorn and
beautify the city. and has contributed with

whole people. Her charity has known no
creed nor religion it has not sought pub

the half of it. Her beneiactions to the
people of Sacramento, among whom she
has lived for so many years, counts up into
millions; and hence this spontaneous tes-
TO her worth comes as a most
grateful tribute from her neighbors and

UTAH

All the Mormons now want-if they are
to be believed-is Commission, brand
new Commission, to consider the tribula-
tions of the Italians. The truth is, it is
but a device for delay All that is needed
in Utah just now is to enforce the laws as
they stand, and that is precisely what the
MormonS fear will lie done. A Commits
sion was appointed to aid in establishing
the supremacy of the law and it had
broad good effect. But the law is on its
feet to-day; the Supreme Court of the
United States has passed upon every point
possible to be raised by those who would
defeat and obstruct the operation of the
laws. 1t now remains for the polygamous
Mormons to obey the law. The whole
matter is in their hands if they wish it,
and simple obedience to the law will end
the whole controversy in Utah and about
Utah.

THE press in all parts of the Union now
discuss the precautions to be taken against
cholera, and thus far not single voice
has been raised or authority cited in oppo-
sition to the prime necessity of cleanliness
Of cities and towns, as one of the best pre-
ventive measures. If the people of Sacra-
mento are wise they will not await the
coming of warm weather to do that which
should be done now. As the New Orleans
States observes " 1t would be unwise to
wait until the appearance of disease before
the money is applied for health measures.
Now is the time to provide against the
introduction of cholera as well as yellow
fever"

A. L. Powell Defends himself.


WESTON, March s.
To the Editor of the LEADER:
Last week DIR. King of this place wrote to the
E. O., making certain statements concerning me
which were false and which he knew to be false
while writing them. l replied to that paper, but
its editor said he ''had to draw the line some
where" and so refused me space to defend my
self against charges which he had just published.
Any other paper in the United States would allow
person at least one chance to reply to personal
charges, but that is his idea of fairness. Howev.
er, DR.. King proceeded ito tell DR.. Williamson
and others why was led to conclude that cats
raw of his wrote the squibs about me in the
Pendleton paper The above is his language.
Further on he says that l am the 'catspaw.'
Allow me to say that the statement is false. 1
saw the item charging, him with calling rupture
dislocation Of the hip and his getting chlcro-
form and another physician to help him fix it,
but the other physician told him what it was in
time to prevent any damage, and while find by
investigation that the item was STRICTLY TRUE, l
| did not write it and have no idea who did. OF
| course a physician who makes such blunders in
| his practice can be excused for other blunders
| not sose1 ious, still don't think any GENTLEMAN
will publish names and charges without knowing
+; what he is talking about. Again. to state that l
was irving to get any of his patients for another
doctor is untrue, and would be terribly mean
thing if true But the idea of any of the other
physicians trying to get any of poor Kings little
practice is too funny joke for those who know
ANYTHING about it. It would be very nearly as
mean as trying to steal the money from the eyes
ot n dead man. But what has DR.. Williamson
cot to do with it, even if had written it! have
over thirty relatives and never ask any Of them
what shall eat, or write, or say. 1t might be &
rood thing for Dr. King to act differently, especi
ally when he finds rupture. Dragging DR.. VII
Hanson in this is simply eowardly attempt t
stab him in the back over my shoulders DR.
, King, as '.Rex," may continue advertising him
self in the E. Q. as before; he may sweat all hi
pleases over his battery as he exhibits it to al
aimiring groupof awe-stricken country boys; HI
may stand half day on the street corners witt
his saddle bags over his shoulder after visit {.
the country, but trust he will learn to leave MT
! alone when am not guilty. Now let him pitei
into some one else, and he may bsunder on +
''Copa-Nica" yet. A. L. PowELL-

will move it still further down Willow

of this part OF old Umatilla did not
want a new county, save few in Hepp-
ner. But as there is one made we will
have to make the best of it, and that IS
to put the county seat at Penland's
