is the Wretched condition In which the
Lincoln monument remains at Oakrldge
Cemetery. Springfield. 1t is fast crum-
bling into ruin, and unless speedily re-
paired, by State or some other aid, Will
soon totter to its fall. The memory OF
Abraham Lincoln will be ever dear to
the American people and to mankind
at large. because he was one OF the
worlds noblest characters, and guided
the great republic in safety over sea
of troubles. dashed into livid fury by
the mighty storm of the greatest re-
hellion known to history. But the
grandest act of his life was when, on
Jan. 1, 1863, he, by the attachment OF
his official signature to the document
of Emancipation, gave liberty to the
dusky millions of the South. lie Will
90 down to all future generations as
| the Liberator of the American negroes.
The care Of the monument that rises
above his illustrious dust should, in
Justice. be a national rather than a
state duty. However, as he was the
fayorite adopted son of Illinois it is
onlv fitting that Illinois should honor
ably sentinel his tomb.
We have often wondered why the
Government has not erected more suit
able monument to one whom we have
ever held as Americas greatest citl
zen, and one of the grandest characters
in history. 1t is only when one looks
at that gigantic pile of stone tower
inc to the skies in cOmmemoratlon OF
the Father of his country, the immorta
Washington, that we can see the appar
ent neglect of our government in gazing
upon tie very ordinary shaft that mark:

from slaverys chains; who has lef
to mankind the most glorious unlol

that it will not. They know that it

WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Late Rains Did some Damage, But
Much Greater Benefit.

The Late Rains Did some Damage, But
Much Greater Benefit.
Director Barwick, of the California
Weather Service, in his crop bulletin for
the week ending the 21st, summarizes as
follows:
The average temperature during the
week shows deficiency over the State,
it being deficient 80 at San Francisco and
80 at Fresno and Los Angeles and Il at
San Diego.
The rainfall was in excess of the nor
NAL over the entire State.
This excess of moisture and deficiency
in heat has been beneficial to beets, corn,
beans, melons, ETC., and has helped some
what late-sown grain, but large Quanti-
ties were too far gone to be benefited.
The rain OF the 2lst has no doubt in
jured to some extent newmown hay that
was left in the fields in an uncocked con-
dition, and has also injured cherries and
straw berries, and retarded the growth
and maturity of all early fruits.
The severe trosts, principally on the
10th, did some damage to beans. corn and
grapes in Sonoma and Mendocino Coun-
ties, but nothing like the damage re-
ported the day following the frost. What
was injured were crops on low lands and
swales OF the vineyards and fields of ten
der growth. Altogether. the weeks
weather has been more beneficial than
otherwise. although not the kind of
weather usual for this season of the year.
Frosts were noted much later than usual.
The latest frost reported in the past twenty
years was on May 7th, while frosts this
season are reported as late as the 18th.
The highest temperature was go, at
Tulare. Huron and Yreka. and the low

ton. So the delegation commands such
regard in the house that / do not think
any advantage would be taken of it upon

it happen that all its members were alb

All which is to say that here was an ex-
eeptional delegation having concern in
legislation as broad as State interest; hav-
ing by reason of the personal character
and legislative ability of its membership
an influence in the house fairly won and
maintained with dignity.
Sacramento County can send up to

Stale and command respect and influence

timber for such selection. There is no
county superior to her in that respect.
What is needed is to impress upon each
of The political organizations the absolute
necessity in this year of naming nomi-
nees who will as nearly as possible ap-
proach the ideal; men of ability, high
character. above small things, not pup
pets and seryitors, but notable for intel
lectual strength, manliness, moral eour-
age, capacity and political shrewdness.
The time ought to be now declared past

serviceable men shall be presented in cam
didacy for legislative positions. If party
managers do not rise to full realization of
the importance of these considerations,
and present men capacitated in high de-
gree. they will confess their inability to
manage and their want of ordinary
shrewdness. For as certainly as that
civilization goes forward, the day is now
passing by when it is deemed by the
people qualification sufficient for legis-
lator that he is hale fellow we'll met;
that he is successful in particular vo-
cation, and therefore must be qualified as
a law-giver; or that he is a seryiceable

warded with the most important of repre-

Two Wheelmen Make the KUN TO Co

On Sunday last the Capital City Scorch-

it seems that o'clock was too early for
them to catch a train, for w. A. Hubert
was the only member OF that club, and
George fitzpatrick of the Capital City
Wheelmen, who were on time and took
the 3 o'clock train for Davisville.
They left there at 3:45 by wheel for Co
lusa, where they arrived at 1915, being
six hours and half on the road, OF
which time one and a half hours were
lost in stops, including an excellent din
ner at the home OF kirkpatrlck's parents.

lightning flashed and rain fell III torrents
for fifteen or twenty minutes, and 1t
looked as though the boys were not go
ing to get home for day or two, bat ut 3
o. clock p, NJ. il had let up little and they
decided to start for home.
Leaving Colusa at 800 o'clock, all went
we'll until they arrived at Yolo, seven
miles from Woodland, where one OF the
riders stopped at convenient pump to
get drink. When he was ready TO start
he found that the other rider had not
stopped, and supposing he had gone
straight on through town he qulekened
his pace to overtake him. it being at that
time too dark to see anything more than
ten feet away.
Arriving at Woodland he found no
trace of the other, but learned that he
had but an hour and ten minutes in
which to get to Davisvilie, ten miles
away, to catch the last train for home. In
daylight such a ride would have been
fun, but on cloudy night, when it was
too dark to see even the streak of black
which marked the road for more than SIX
or eight feet in front, it was q different
matter. But it was catch that train or
stay all night.
When about two miles out of town a
light rain began to fall, which continued
until after reaching Davisville, where the
rider found he had made the trip from
Woodland in 80 minutes. He had as yet
seen nothing of the other rider, but just
as the train was about ready To start the
latter showed up. He had also stopped
at Yolo. but in another part OF town. On
consulting their cyclometers it was found
they had travelled l43 miles. The time on
