SACRAMENTO, Oct. 7.-Early this
morning while Oscar Herold was going
home from a whist party he saw a
man standing by or against tree near
the corner of Tenth and G streets.
He says he stopped and asked the
man what he was doing there. Get
ting no answer Herold drew a revol-
yer and fired at the man, who did not
move. Directly he fired again and the
man pitched forward on his face with
bullet in his forehead. He died two
hours later in the receiving hospital
The dead man is Charles W. Thesis
who was head clerk in the Postal Tele-
graph company's office in this city
Thesis had attended a political meet
ing at Oak park, where it is said he
drank too much. He came back to
Sacramento, stopped in a saloon until
2 o'clock and then started home. 1t
is said he was quite drunk and 1t is
presumed wandered out of his way a
couple of blocks and finally leaned up
against tree and evidently fell asleep.
Herold, who is a brother of Architect
Rudolph Herold of this city, says he
was held up once near Tenth and G
streets and robbed, and that when he
saw Thesis leaning against the tree he
thought he was a robber, and shot him.
Herold gave himself up to the police
and at noon today was released on
bail in the sum of 100000.
Thesis lived here with his mother.
He was well thought of and was quiet
and inoffensive. He had worked for
the telegraph company ever since he
was lad and had worked up to a
position Of trust.

SEPTEMBER HEAT.

Although the East suffered less from the hot
wave which eliminated here this week than did
the West, the mercury reached higher point
than il reached in July. Only once this sea-
sOn-in August-was Mondays temperature rec
ord surpassed. The freak is not unprecedented
however. September is given to such eccen-
tricities. In September, 1SS1-the year and
month in which Garfield died-the government
thermometers in New York City registered 100
degrees. q thing which. according TO Mr.. En-
Ory's records, had not occurred before and has
not since occurred. The federal weather ser
vice began thirty-six years ago, and an accu-
rate comparison is possible for only a rea-
lively short period, but the facts are sufficient
to lay the month of September open TO the
charge OF trifiing UnfeelinGly with human COM

THE PRINCIPLE, NOT THE NAN.

The statement of Governor Higgins concern
ing the stake OF Republican voters in the COM
ing primaries emphasizes an issue which IS en-
tirely distinct from and paramount to the Ques-
ton Of candidates. 1t is the issue of keeping
the Republican organization under the control
of independent, disinterested men, responsive to
the best aspiration of our citizenship and in
harmony with the reform ideas which have been
dominant in Washington under the leadership
OF President Roosevelt, and which caused the
last Legislature at Albany under the leadership
Of Governor Higgins 10 be almost universally
pronounced the best In many years. The issue
is the continuance Of such party policy or the
domination of the organization by dIscredited
bosses and lobbyists to serve private interests.
Mr.. Quigg is diligently representing that an
anti-Quigg-that is anti-Ryan-delegate is
necessarily a Higgins delegate. and thus seek
ing 10 make the issue for Mr. Parsons the mar
row issue Of devotion to one man. 1t is, per-
haps, natural that Mr.. Quigg should bitterly
oppose Governor Higgins, who has not been
a tool Of the interests which Mr.. Quigg serves.
But his campaign cry is merely pretext What
he wants is control, and he thinks that as an
"open convention" advocate he has an advan-
tage over anybody whom he can represent as
committed 20 a particular man. A few weeks
ago he himself was seeking the support Of Gov
ernor Higginss friends on the plea that he
was not opposed 10 Ine bONefnOr, out WIS max
ing a purely local campaign. His attempt 10
make himself the sole champion Of an open
convention" however, cannot succeed for Gov
ernor Higgins is himself champion OF it and
has rights of priority
The Governor has steadily declined to allow
delegates from districts which his friends absO-
lutely controlled 20 be instructed for him. All
his efforts have been directed 10 strengthening
the better element in the party. and as 10 his
candidacy. its probability has been allowed TO be
only strong enough 10 prevent the lobbyists
from making Roadway In forming combinations
OF their own to control the convention. In his
statement of Sunday he pointed out that the
Republican party has an abundance Of capable.
loyal and honest men from whom TO choose. and
he is making effort TO foreclose that choice.
An ambition to be reelected would be perfectly
natural. and no man. by faithfulness and clean
conduct Of Office. has more deserved re selection.
Perhaps the Governor hopes 10 make the race.
He has not chosen TO say. But Of this we feel
certain: II he does make the race Il will he
because the great body of Republicans repre-
sented in the convention believe that he is the
proper candidate. and IL the great body Of Re
publicans-hOnest Republicans, not Ryan Re
publcans-feel that the party interests Will he
better served by some other candidate. no selfish
ambition of his will obstruct their wish
