THE HENEY SHOOTING. The shooting of Pros-cuting Attorney Heney at San Francisco last Friday was the result of two things, lax law enforcement and desire for sensation on the part of Heney. It would appear that there was little need for the public exposure of the ex-convict who had found place on the jury. It sometimes happens that attorneys become callous and care-

SENATORS FROM THE PEOPLE. During the campaign just past one of the points that received considerable attention, though not, perhaps, as much as it deserved, was the selection of th* 1 United States Senators by the people. Since the election the need of such a provision lias been made very plain. In New York the .selection of the man to take the place

Some rules are doubtless necessary, but it appears to us that the ends of law are becoming completely lost sight of in the enveloping layers of rules and technical interpretations. And this was true in San

Francisco.

Others lake the vote of the state to tie a rebuke to the law, either in itself or to the manner of its passage. We are free to confess that we can not see it in that light. We are confident that many people, themselves in favor of county option, voted the Democratic ticket, believing that the passage of the* law took the measure out of politics and left other Democratic issues to the front.

THINGS TO THINK AHoI T

THE PEOPLE'S 1’AHT.

Am tin* days go by the tight between Democruti:- candidates for the United States Senate grows strenuous. All the candidates and their political friends are active. In a perfectly ligitirnate way, uo far as we know, a most strenuous campaign is being made. This is perfectly right. Few men get tilings in this world that they do not, first, ask for and, second, work for. But there is another side to the struggle. The senators and representatives in the state legislature are by nonieansaltogether free to decide for themselves in this matter. They are the representatives of their constituents. They are supported to do the will of the majority of their constituents if they can find what the majority wishes, it is when Hie will of the majority is in doubt tbat the representative falls back upon his own judgment. If he does not represent the will of the people he is not a representative. In the senatorial tight, if the people have any preference in the matter, it should be expressed. If the representatives do

A STRAW VOTE. The Herald desires to know the sentiment of Putnam County on the United States Senator. To ascertain this sentiment we are sending out, in today’s paper, a blank ballot that any one wishing to express his opinion may make out and return to us. The vote as it comes in will be announced. It is hoped in this way to get some definite idea of the feeling toward the men who are now candidates for Hie high office.

1 Mr. Tafr should persist in fol low tug cut the slight hint gh “i ‘n His level t speech, and should !nsi.,i that the tariff be revised downward, w hat a blow that would be to the reviving confidence of Wall Street. It would be almost too much.
