Mich of what Senator Esty, of Ithaca, says
in THE TRIBUNE this morning about INC
nolitical situation is in the nature OF expert
testimony. No man at Albany has served Ills
party with more sincerity and outspoKen
honesty than he; and Republican voters anu
leaders NAV we'll heed his advice abont sending
only honest and trustworthy men to the state
LEGISLATURE. AS THE TRIBUNE has constantly
insisted. this course is essential. A Few dls-
honest Republicans at Albany, combining Win
Democratic representatives (nine-tenths OF
whom are generally as bad as can beg, have ire
ouently defeated measures OF the highest I'M
portance to the people Of this State. Inc he
publican party does not want to be burdened
any longer with responsibility for such men.
The Yankee sloop won again yesterday In the
third contest with the Priscilla, and the Puritan
will doubtless be chosen to defend the America
Cup against the Genesta. The conditions III
the third trial race were in favor or the
Priscilla, there being little or no wlndwaru
work to do but her rival proved to be the bet
ter boat even then. The result will raise the
spirits of those unpatriotic souls who have not
dared to hope that the Genesta could be pre-
vented from carrying off the prize. In the race
yesterday those crack yachts, the Oracle and
Bedouin, were left far behind, which in Itself
is a fact of great interest to yachtsmen. IL
shows what an immense advance has been made
In yacht-building since these fast boats were
constructed. 1t is due to the committee OF the
New-York Yacht Club having in hand the mat
ter of deciding whether the Puritan or Priscilla
should be selected for the great race to say
that they have been conspicuously fair in their
treatment of the two boats.

An ENGLISH VIEW or "AURRiCAN JOKES"
Under the title More of the American joke"
The Saturday Reuiew falls foul of the Califor-
Mans whom 1t accuses Of laughing at the VIC
Tins of the late Yosemite stage robbery, and
whom it seems to regard as being in sympathy
if not in league with the "road agents" All
this rancor is due to the fact that an English
tourist happened to be In the stage
when it was robbed, and his feelings
were hurt not only by the sum-
mary deprivation OF his portable property,
but by the marked irreverence of the thieves.
Because Mr. Chance was thus offended The Sat

"highway robbery IN California Is much on the
footing of the vendetta in Corsica or the ca
mora in Sicily OF course nothing is easier-or
less honest for that matter-than this kind OF
reckless generalization. For instance, few
days ago an American traveller staying at n Liv-

II was already evident last night at Saratoga
that the Republican State Committee was
gathering there simply to name a date and a
place for holding the State Convention. To
the voters, as represented by their delegates,
will be left the duty of choosing a Stare
ticket. This in pleasing contrast with the
performance of the Democratic State Com
mittee at the same place q week ago.
