IT is one Of the beautiful features of
the fame of the late General Sherman
that it was acquired without exciting
the envy or the enmitv of any one. His
greatness was universally recognized,
and no military man in our history has
been nearer the people than this dead
hero. One thing that endeared him to
all classes was the fact that he kept
himself abreast of and on level with
the people. He disdained politics and
had contempt for mere self-seeking
politicians. He might have been pres
ident had he desired, but that high
Office could have added nothing to his
fame, whilst it would have brought,
as it did to Grant, bitter
fruit His delight was to mix
with his fellow citizens on basis of So
cal equality, to enjoy intercourse with
clever men and to keep himself closely
in touch with the brave comrades who
had fought and bled with him. Not a
town or city in the land but has done
spontaneous honor to his memory. The
memorial services solemnized in Los An
geles yesterday as tribute to his worth
and in recognition OF the great loss the
nation has suffered in his death, is only
one of thousands of similar tokens of
popular respect that have gone out to
him from every place in the land.

We ARE getting rain sure enough. 1t
has at the present writing fallen, with
very slight intermissions, for thirty-six
hours. At times it has come down in
torrents, and it now threatens to swell
our streams beyond their banks. We
have already had more than enough to
carry our crops out to vigorous matur-
ity, and perhaps the cry for rain, which
was the recent prayer Of the farmer,
may be changed to loud call for it to
cease. This seasons experience makes
it look very much as if the era of dry
years for California were past. Certainly
mo season for many years gave us as
many signs as this that we would have
a dry year; and these signs have signally
failed. 1t really looks as if tree-planting,
cultivation, iron rails and all the changes
involved in the multifarious improve
ments of our advanced civilization, have
really had such meteorological effects as
to insure us against the drouths that
visited California periodically in its bu-
colic aOe

INGALLs's VIEWS ON THE uPHEAvAL.

Senator Ingalls,, who is one of the first
martyrs of the political cyclone passing
through the west, has written a lively
letter to an eastern paper, in which he
reviews the causes of the great uprising.
He does not. think that politics wholly
accounts for the marvellous spread OF the
but describes it as a sudden
of the power possessed by
every atom of our complex and extraor.
dinary social fabric. Men have passed
from hazy understanding of the right
of the individual to vote, to realization
of the resistless power of their votes
when combined. The senator then in
forms the people east OF the Alleghenies
that they do not understand or appre-
ciate the dynamics Of the western move
ment, and the disposition to sneer, scoff
and disparage it is unwise and unfortu-
nate. The supremacy Of numbers under
our political system is fact which is
now perfectly understood, and before the
close of the year there will be over
10000 farmers of the west compactly
organized to back their demands by
votes. These demands are, in part,
lower taxation, tariff reduction, and the
restriction of the powers of corporations.
The senator notes one feature of the irri-
tating causes which excite a feeling
amongst the farmers that is pregnant
with dangerous consequences. He says :
"An element that cannot be over
looked is the brutal and vulgar insolence
and ostentation of the millionaires.
They are vulnerable. They have not
been as sagacious in the use of wealth
as they have in its acquisition. On this
particular phase of the question much
might be said, for it would be idle to
deny that fool with million dollars
is more harmful than fool with moth
ing but poverty to back up his folly.
When the day of rigid reckoning comes
it will be, seen that the existing clique
of sordid, silly and ambitious million
aires is suggestively close to the schem-
ers and tricksters who are playing upon
the passions of the poor"
The Haunting display OF lavish expend-
iture by our nouveaux riches is insidi-
ously exciting the wrath, not only Of
the farmers, who see it in the palatial
cars that pass their impoverished
homes, but OF all classes of poor and
underpaid workers, who behold the
glaring extravaganza of the vulgar mil
lionaires III our cities and there is
many Madame Lafarge who is quietly
working in her knitting the names of
persons she hopes some day to denounce
to public vengeance. The first step of
this great class political movement
has been taken. 1t will increase in
volume and momentum. The fact that
it possesses the safety-valve of the bal
lot may prevent it from becoming des-
perate and destructive; but there are
exasperating features in the use made
of inordinate wealth ravished from
the hand of toll which may lead to an
explosion when least expected.

The legislature only has eight more
working days before the per diem of the
members ceases. 1t is not likely it will
remain in session more than a week
after compensation stops. The files
are loaded with bills, some OF which are
important. The Democratic members
are trying hard, but with questionable
success, to have an Australian ballot
law enacted. The senate has adopted,
as a substitute for all other ballot re-
form bills, the measure that is copied
after the Massachusetts law. The bill
authorizing cities to issue bonds
to relieve lot-holders from lump pay
ments for street improvements, is in a
precarious position; but it may be
reached and passed. The appropriations
will probably be kept within the 30
cents limit, although that is very ex-
travagant limit. Many measures that
would benefit the people will be left on
the file.

ALMOST annually the croaker, semper-
virens, as he is, begins in the early au-
tumn to forecast dry year in this Sec
tion. For at least sixteen years now
without a break the jolly weather clerk
seems to have taken the delight of keen
comedian in knocking higher. than
Gilderoy's kite all the lugubrious pro-
phecies of this multitudinous croaker,
who finds home here as congenial to
him as to the scale pest. The croaker
may get tired of the sound of his own
voice after few more years of discom-
future. But he may not. There is an
old rhyme to the effect that there was
a frog lived in well," and despite the
dampness of his abode he is still a
croaker. Moreover, the more it rains
the more he crOaks.

THERE is bill before the legislature
to provide for the execution of all male
factors sentenced to death by the courts
at either of the two state penitentiaries.
If the object of this proposed law is to
create the office of common hangman for
the whole state, it will give some strong
partisan a sinecure. Legal executions
are few and far between in California,
and yet it is not because murders are OF
rare occurrence. Deliberate murderers
are sometimes never caught, and when
they are the chances are as one hundred
to one that they will escape capital pun
iahment.

SANTA MONICA.
A BUNCH OF NEwSY SEASIDE
ITEMS.
A Correspondent Wakes Eloquent Oyer
His Town-A Hint to the Board of
Trade-Notes. r.

Santa Monica never looked finer than
at present. Especially was this the case
Friday, when the bright and bracing
atmosphere, tempered by the warm
rays OF the sun, and the green verdure
OF the plains and hills, made life in the
open air dream OF the pleasures of
paradise. 1 had the pleasure of show
ing party of eastern tourists the town
and surrounding country, who could
not find words to express their
pleasure at the grandeur OF the
day and scene, and when l told
them we had 800 such days in every
year, could half realize the truth. I had
considerable trouble to coax them into
taking a plunge in the ocean surf, but
when they came out aglow with the
healthy tonic qualities of old Neptune's
bath, they thanked the poor pencil
pusher for the trouble OF persuading the
eastern doubling Thomas in language
which more than repaid, because he is
a firm believer in the beauties, etc., of
this earthly paradise.
Our board OF trade should have a
committee whose business it is to well
come all guests, to hunt up the eastern
tourists when they arrive in Los Angeles
and extend an invitation to them to
spend at least one day here, and, above
all, there should be some kind of a
standing advertisement. in the Los An
geles dailies. A little money spent this
way would return many fold. Who will
take the initiative in the movement.
Your correspondent suggests the name
of Abbott Kinney as chairman, with
power to form his own committee.
We are having the usual and periodi-
cal wharf excitement. What it will
amount to only time can tell, but this
time it seems to have some tangible
foundations.
A good plunge in the ocean, built on
the wharf like plans of the one at Gal
weston, would pay here, and prove a
boon to the many dwellers in Sunland.
Messrs. Chaplin and Rogers have taken
possession OF the Cash Grocery house
in the Gates block, where the smiling
face Of the genial colonel can be seen.
Mr.. Roth, the late proprietor, has pur-
chased the Tierney dry goods stock of
Mr.. Steer, and will open it up with a
fine selection of new goods in few days.
The members of Fort Fisher post en-
joyed masquerade ball Friday evening,
which was not only most enjoyable
entertainment to all who were present,
which included about every one in the
community, but was financial success
over which the management should feel
proud. The characters were admirably
taken. Especially was this the case on
the part of Messrs. Willis, Johnson,
McKinnie, Waller and Hart,
and on the part of Misses Weyse, Elliott,
Mrs. Waller, Rogers and Tullis.
Fifteen new birds arrived at the os-
trich farm Friday, which now makes
the complement of birds at this farm
the finest collection to be seen anywhere
on the coast. Yesterday the many Wis
itors enjoyed the privilege OF witnessing
the novel sight of plucking seven birds,
all told being deprived OF the valuable
part of their plumage.
E. d. Suits received number OF fine

The idea that Southern California is
an arid waste where rain seldom falls at
all and never in liberal volume, may be
dissipated from the minds of men after
while. 1t is, in fact, the most reliable
for an abundance of rain at the right
time of any place on earth. California,
and particularly Los Angeles county, is
the real examplar of the weather phil
osophy that it never rains but it pours.
