REPi BLHiN DUTY.

The action of the Citizens Union yesterday
in definitely deciding to postpone all further
nominations is Il step in The direction of con-
cation which might wisely have been taken
at an earlier date. 1t IS 10 be regretted that
action on the nomination of Mr.. Low should
have been taken with such precipitation and
lack of consideration for Republican orghniza
ton feelings az tn have engendcrcd the present
dangerous antagonism and disunion Ever since
last spring The Tribune has been warning the
managers of the Citizens Union of the injury
they might do 10 good government by reckless
zeal in seeking to promote It. We advised
against Mr.. Lows nomination when it was
made. and have not ceased to regard the time
and manner of his being put in the field as an
unnecessary complication Of Il difficult situation
But we believe in accepting facts as they are
rather than as we might wish them to he. So
when Mr. Low had become a candidate. ana it
was evident that the first Mayor Of Greater New
York would be a Tamnany Democrat If he were
not Seth Low. frankly called attention to
the alternative, and urged the duly Of the Re
publican party to let nothing interfere with lis
adoption of the only plan that could save this
city from robbery by Tammany Hall and the
Republican party in State and Nation from the
prospect Of a series of defeats through the i'm
mense power which Tammany could WELD dis
honestly when in possession Of the election ma
chinery of New-York Nothing has occurred
since Mr. Lows nomination to change that view.
He is still the only alternative to Tammany
rule and il would he suicide for the Repub-
lican organization under any pretext or any
provocaton to place Tammany once more In
Office.
The Citizens Union has made its mistakes.
but hundred mistakes on its part-even hun
dred political crimes-would not excuse the Re
publican organization for making one more mis-
take Two wrongs do not make right. The
Republican organization today has the oppor-
tunity to defeat Tammany through Mr.. Low,
and through him is its only chance to do so. II
it fails to rise to that opportunity. no amount OF
excuses about the previous III deeds OF some
body else will shield it from the execration Of
the citizens Of New-York, who demand that II
shall think first Of their welfare. and the blame
Of Republicans everywhere, who realize the
menace which Tammany control Of New-York
is to the Republican party at large. That Is the
situation in this city. and The Tribune believes
it performs a duty to the party by asking Re
publcans 10 face 1t frankly.

INDICTMENTS TO CRIME.

The sentencing Of Gangadhar Tilak 10 a term
of Imprisonment for his sedtlo,Is and incendlary
uttcrances will be generally commended rs I'M
act Of simple. If stern. justice. Some persons
may recall Mr. GladstOnes impassioned appeals
for unrestrancd liberty Of the press in India.
n liberty which has too often become mere
license. and essay some feeble echo OF them NJ
this time But the Slkhs and Ghoorkas who
are so valiantly defending the northwest Dor
dcrs of the Empire will scarcely listen to them.
Nor will the notion that a man may utter any
vencss or Indictment to crime with lmpunity
long As he does so in a newspaper find favor
among serious minded men.
Tilak's offence was committed three months
ago. on June IL he published in his paper. the
"Kesarl." an elaborate and earnest defence Of
and even demand for. assassination rs n polit-
i,al agency. He urged his readers to ignore the
penal code. and 10 act upon the principles Of the
Bhagavad Gita. In which. he said. assassination

this article two British officers were murdered

accordingly punished him.

failed signally last week at Wheaton to qualify
for the championship contest. and Coats was
thirteenth on the list Of the sixteen who sur
vived the preliminary medal round This year
the entries in the open National competition
numbered only forty-fve: but that they far more
adequately represented the golfng ability Of the
two sections is shown by the fact that in the list
OF those who failed to pass the barrier Of the
medal round were such players of National
reputation as Thorpe. s. D.. Bowers. Of Otsego
w. VI. McCawley. of Philadelphia. and Toxhall

sixteen competitors who qualified for hole play
were separated on the score cards by only TWEEN
ty-thrce s.rokes-a showing which no previous
tournament in this country of equal importance
can rival.
As between the East and the West twelve
players from the former section were left to
fight for the championship to four from the lat
ter. But the seasoned skill Of the two Chicago
Scotchmen wore down all opposition. and though

CROPS IN THE United KINGDOM

Agricultural statistics show some interesting
industrial movements In the United Kingdom.
which are mostly uniform In Great Britain and
ireland. In both the present year shows an in
crease over last year In wheat acreage and
decrease In barley. oats and potatoes. The in
crease In wheat IL more than 100000 acres.
That still leaves the total far less. however than
IL was n few years ago. The total in the whole
United Kingdom Is now .936oil acres. while
In 1892 In England alone It was 2.l02,0G3 acres.
The increase at present recorded Is promising.
II Is greater than the decrease in all other
grains put together, Indicating that some po-
tatO-land grass land or other Is being devoted
10 wheat There is reported considerable de-
crease in both parts Of the Kingdom. in pcrma-
nent grassland. while the acreage of clover and
rotation-grass has increased in Great Britain
and diminished in ireland.

Der of cattle Is seen, but IL is vastly greater in

The general showing seems to indicate that
Ireland is making better agricultural progress
than Great Britain. She Is making her products

profitable and trustworthy character. The
shortage OF crops from which the island Is said
to he suffering this year Is probably not serious
and at worst will prove only temporary. The
clearest indications are that good measure Of
permanent prosperity is returning to the Emor
