EDITORIAL NOTES.
Hepburn and the Newspapers.

The unfriendliness OF the news
papers towards Senator Hepburn
is fact that was recently empha-
sized by the Senator himself in
speech on the floor of the senate,
by complaint G of his treatment at
the hands of the newspapers. While
the HERALD cordially supports
Senator Hepburn for the splendid
work he is doing in congress, and
has extolled, and does extol, his
splendid qualities as a United
States Senator, we are free to con-
TESS that there are grievous reasons
why many newspaper men have no
love for the Senator personally.
The Senator has always been con-
temptious of newspaper men. 1t
was of no consequence to him that
the hardworking party newspapers
preached the gospel week in and
week out, year in and year out
it was only Mr.. Hepburn, who de-
voted his attention to the subject
for a few weeks in the closing days
of campaign. who was, in MIR.
Heyburn's judgment, entitled to
any credit. He has time and again
been heard to speak disparagingly
of the newspapers in the state coun-
ellis of his party. There are many
complaints that he has not given
them the consideration they de-
served since his election to the
United States Senate. The Boise
Statesman's case is an instance.
The Statesman has been a tremen-
dous factor for Republican success
1t would not have hurt Senator
Hepburn to have given the prop
rietor of that paper some considers
ton in making appointments in
that city. 1t seems that the only
thing he gave the Statesman wa.
the marble heart. Newspaper mer
are patient and long suffering, bu1
as a rule they are pretty well on tC
their job. They occupy an import
ant place in the world, whether tn,
fact is always appreciated at thu
time or not, and usually have thu
dig ity and independence to sus
tain their position. No man il
perfect, and this little fault OF thu
Senator is of small importanc
compared to his distinguished pub
lie services, but if some OF hi
newspaper constituency dig in
to him good and strong at times
he will pardon us in stating il
their behalf that in our judgmen
he ought not to complain.

HEPBURN IS OPPOSED.
Does not favor Nomination of Candi-
dates for U. S. Senators.

From our a,hington Correspondent
The question of the method OF
nominating and electing United
States Senators is one that is caus-
ing widespread discussion by the
press OF the country and by the
leading thinkers and writers. A
great many of the states follow the
original plan OF leaving the whole
matter, both of nominating and
electing senators exclusively to the
state Legislature, while some of the
states have prepared for selecting
the party nominee for the senate
by primary law.
The question is receiving much
consideration in several of the
states. However it can be safely
stated that the agitation for the
popular election of senators, which
was so prevalent few years ago,
is not now so great. Senator Hey
burn when asked his position in
regard to nominating a candidate
for the United States Senate at the
state convention remarked:
81 have never been in favor OF
such a proceeding. | helped to de-
feat the proposition in the state
conve ton in Idaho in 1894, aud
| have not changed my views on
the subject. do not believe il
changing the law in a left handeC
manner. 1t is the constitution o
the United States that fixes th'
manner of electing senators, anC
that instrument should only b'
changed when there is an over
towering necessity. In this cas-
there is no such necessity, and
think that the fancied necessity ar
Uses only from the inordinate sci
hshness of those who would like /
get the advantage of somebody els
in the race for public office. De-
egates to the state convention ar
not elected by the people at tn
polls. They are not elected at al
They are selected by most impei

it comes to endorsing the res
wishes of the people, the legisla

direct vote of the people, KNOWN
that they are electing legislatui

ator, comes much nearer to Il

1905, has reached our desk. 1t is
a book of $50 pages, replete with
valuable information relative to
the mining resources Of Idaho, and
containing a number Of forceful
and original observations by the
inspector. The report is not, how
ever, very valuable nor accurate as
relates to North Kootenai. But
one mine is mentioned H. this re-

Moyie district, with the Buckhorn
group and mill is entirely omitted.

WAGNER HAS GONE.
Our Great ShOrtstop Has Been Re
 called by Manager Burnham.

Manager Harry Durant received a solar plexus blow this morning which for time knocked him down for the count. but he is up and doing to-day and hustling like sin for another man to take the place of the one he has lost. Manager Burnham of the New ark team has recalled Wagner to that team. Wagner was released to Water bury only with the distinct under standing that should the infield of the Newark team become disabled, Wagner must return. That disabling has occurred and Wagner will have to return to the old stamping ground and take Mahling's place. He left for there thfs amofning.
 Wires were at once set on fire by the local manager for Rastis of the Columbus team or Hickman of the Worcester team, both fast shortstops. Any fair price will be given for a good man and no poor ones are want ed. In the meantime Manager Durant will play Goode of the Willimantic team who has been doing some re- markedly fast work. With Mike Me- Andrews disabled and Wagner gone, the infield has been given severe blow.

WRESTLING
CLEVER CONTESTS
 BUT SMALL CROWD
"Chick" Lawson Made Young Bothner Quit-Preliminaries
 Unfinished.

One of the smallest crowds that has attended a wrestling tournament in this city was present in City hall last night to see the contests of the Waterbury Athletic club. Conrad of oakville and young German of the south end took part in the first preliminary. Conrad gained the first fall and then decided that he had enough. claiming that his stomach was not in condition and he was un- able to continue.
 Tn the hour match between Fritz Hansen of Worcester and Professor J. II. Carroll of New York. who was no other than Young Bothner's brother. who participated in the principal contest. Hansen gave the professor such a gruellng as he new CT in his life experienced before. At the end of twenty-elght minutes he was put down for the first fall with a scissors hold. He was unable to rise from the mat and Referee Der nie Burke and Hansen worked on him until he WIS able to get up. He wanted to continue. but was pre- vented by the referee. The latter then said that Hansen should divide the purse with Carroll or Bothner for his game showing. hut this Han sen rightly declined to do.
 In the main contest '-Chick" Law son of Naugatuck faced Young Bothner of New York. It was des- perate struggle and after one hour and twenty minutes Lawson secured the first fall. Bothner was unable to come on the mat for any more of the work and the match WAS award cd to Lawson.

MORNING GAMES.

Bridgeport, May 31-Nearly D. 900 witnessed the game at Newfield park yesterday forenoon when Wa terbury and Bridgeport played their first game of the day, which resulted in tie. Although seven and half innings were played the score stood at the even end of the seventh, three runs for each side. The two runs that the visitors made in their half was cut off. It was not an inspiring game at all, and the crowd was not altogether pleased.
 At the end of the seventh inning the score was and 8, and there was just 20 minutes for another inning. It was announced at the early part of the game by Umpire Malone that the game would be called at 11:40 to allow the players to catch the 12 o'clock train for Waterbury.
 Waterbury tried to capture the game and came near it, as O'Hagan made hit and came home with the assistance of some miserable playing. After that the Orators played to pro- long the contest. The Waterbury players played to get out and their half of the inning, trusting to shut out the Orators in their half. The action of the players caused some surprise among the crowd, as the tactics were not understood.
 It would be hard to tell whether the crowd was delighted with the ex- hibition or not. Both teams were playing to win tactical point. The han ha Orators, however, were able to win their point, and at the end of the afifst half theo seventh inning Um- pire Malone called the game of. The score:

SENII-PROF GAMES.

The baseball diamonds in every town and city, almost, in the state were in use yesterday and returns last night show that the attendance was all the most ardent fan could wish. The Plainville team wore a large and luminous halo last night, for 1t defeated its old time rival from Huntsville and Southington twice during the day. In the second game, in PlainvilIe, it took the winning run in the fifteenth inning and the Plain vile rooters said the things that seemed appropriate. In Willimantic the Holy Cross nine took two games from a Bristol team while the Bris- tol Consolidated nine was thumped on its own ground by team from Meriden.
