TINE TO BEGIN. NOT TO END.

Good Government" the organ of the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League, says that
the adverse decision of the Court of Appeals
"in the case of Greene VS.. Knox will proba.
"bly end the long controversy over the New
York police captains" 1t ought not to end it,
and it will not end it if the Attorney General
and the Corporation Counsel do their duty.
The Court of Appeals did not pass upon the
merits Of the case but merely held that the
taxpayers action brought by a public spirited
citizen, Mr.. J. Warren Greene, and prosecuted
by the New-York Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation was not the proper method to vacate
the promotions made in notorious violation of
law by the Van Wyck Police Board. It indi-
Gated a quo warranto suit as the proper pro-
ceeding, and that can only be maintained
through the Attorney General. Attorney Gen
eral Davies near the close Of his term grant
ed the necessary permission to the city authori-
ties to bring suit. Nothing has been done.
however, since Attorney General Cunneen took
office, and it has been said that his attitude
prevented the Corporation Counsel from begin
ming the action which there was not time to
start under the former Attorney General.
Whatever the reason for the inaction, how
ever, there can be no doubt that the promo
tons ought to be set aside or that it is the
duty OF public officers to deal with a scandal
so notorious.
The illegality of these promotions was prac-
tcally confessed by York and Sexton. They
picked their favortes, and then made I'D the
record TO bring them to the front in the eIigi-
bic list They admitted that they chose their
men on political grounds and parcelled out the
promotions among themselves and another
member of the board as patronage or "spoiIs"
though appointment promotion for ANYTHING
but merit and fitness shown by competitive
examination was forbidden by law They dis
obeyed the law concerning records of past
services which are to be certified to the Civil
Service Board from the daily records Of the
department. and simply sent in certificates
made up ofhand according to their desire 10
promote one officer or prevent the promotion of
another
All this was exposed by the State Civil Ser
vice Commission, which made an Investigation.
took the testimony-Or rather confessions-of
York and Sexton, and reported that the promo
tons were grossly Illegal but that it had no
power TO set them aside after they had once
been made, and relief must come from the conrts
In view Of such official finding if is intoIer-
able that this piece of lawlessness and maIad-
ministration should be allowed TO 90 uncbaI
lenged by the departments of government whose
business is to secure the enforcement of the
laws particularly when the wrong is one which
cannot be cured by private action

READY.

It had been commonly predicted that Shan
rock III would have the advantage OF TINE
allowance but, except possibly IN the lHneI
most circles nobody had supposed 1t WouIu
amount to a minute and forty-t1Ve seconds Inc
computation following the official measurement
has consequently raised the general estimate OF
the chalengers chances to some extent Out
tbe general estimate in such a case possesses
little value. 1t was said yesterday that III Ight
airs lust ena bling the boats TO finish WITHIN the
time limit, the Shamrock might reasonably De
expected to win on her allowance: but another
view of the matter is that under such conditions
the Reliance's extra eighteen hundred square
feet of canvas would come in very handy and
probably more than offset her handicap. Either
one of these calculations may be just as good
as the other, since expert authority is cited in
support of each, and so there you are. 1t is
worth noting however, that those who put up
their money and took their choice yesterday did
not appear to think that the recent odds of to l
ought to be materially changed.
Perhaps the only thing that it is safe to say
about the comparative merits of the contestants
is that there will be almost universal surprise If
they do not prove to be at least as evenly
matched as any pair that ever raced for the
Americas Cup. If there is wind enough to I'LL
the sails to-day and hereafter there will in all
probability be plenty of eXhiaration for vast
company Of spectators. 1t is gratifying to feel
assured also that the accompanying fleet will
be compelled to give the rivals all the room they
need The course was kept clear two and four
years ago, and the regulations will not be less
rigidly enforced this year. There was never
any justification for complaints Of calculated
interference in Cup contest or reason to be-
leve that one boat suffered more than another,
while Sir Thomas Upton himself has said that
when the conditions here were at the worst
they were probably not more troublesome than
those to which yachtsmen are accustomed in
English waters. But undoubtedly the restric-
tons which the federal authorities have latterly
imposed are as suitable as they are effective.
Many patriotic citizens have been heard to
say during the last few months that it would
not vex their souls if Sir Thomas should achieve
his darling ambition. Now that the hour is at
hand most of them are probably conscious Of
a change of feeling the subject, for how can
any American really hope that the Americas
Cup will go back to England this year or ever?
But ii is certain that if the owner of the Sham
rock should win it he would find it full of good
will and sincere Fluctuations.

TROTTTNG AND RUNNING.

Before the Civil War; and even for a long
series OF seasons after Appomattox, four mile
meats among thoroughbred runners were not in
frequent and upon more than one occasion
horses were compelled to travel twenty miles in
an afternoon, taking part in every one of five
heats Of four miles apiece Those were ardu-
Gus struggles for the blue blooded rivals oP the
tracks The pace was not fast; of course II
could not be- when such long distances were to
be traVersed. Those oldtime contests drawn out
to so tremendous an extent, developed marvel
Ious endurance, big lungs, stout hearts and nota-
bic staying power among the contestants. ONLY
a corporaIs guard of runners, even those Of the
highest class and the noblest ancestry couId
stand the strain except with spacious intervals
Tor rest and recuperation between one tourna-
ment Of four mile heats and another More
over, the trainers who We're capable Of getting
the animals Of those eras thoroughly prepared
for those heart breaking Journeys were diff
cult to discover. They We're almost as rare &c
white blackbirds.
The revolution which has come over the meth
DDS of our jockey clubs is weIlnigh stupefving
Heat races for thoroughbreds are now almost
unknown from Key West TO the KIondfke. and
the change is an Improvement But too much
sprinting, too much scurrying, too much scrarn-
bling are highly Objectionable and il is we'll

enough and strength and pluck enough to stick
to the bitter end in long. hard fight. Under
the old fashioned plan OF heats among the
racers even the best colts and FLIES, after they
had attained their prime. could be sent TO the
post only few times each season The Tribune
has always been a consistent objector to over
taxing horses. and it certainly does not intend
to change its attitude. Racing should not be
overdone, and ii is gross cruelty to exact too
much from the loyal servants of mankind. -Four
mile heats were abuses. 1t advisable TO do
away with them.
The owners of trotters and PAGERS are begin
ming to follow in the footsteps of the breed
ers and managers of thoroughbreds. The ira
diiional custom of sending harness horses three
heats out Of five, each heat at mile. is losing
ground. Excellent sport has been seen this
summer at the Empire City trotting grounds, at
Brighton Beach and elsewhere in contests Of two
mile heats out of three. II hardly be doubt
ed that the next generation win see no heats
among trotters or PAGERS. The harness horses in
less than thirty years. and possibly in a shorter
period even than dozen summers. will be re-
duired to compete IN single dashes. and never

TIE NEBRASKA CAMPAIGN.

The Nebraska Republicans seem TO be be-
ginning this years campaign in the most buoy
ant spirits. The convention they held at Lin
coin on Tuesday was a lodge of thanksgiving.
The platform they adopted was an unbroken
pecan of praise. For many blessings, national
and local, the delegates assembled at Lincoln
recorded their unmixed gratitude. But on one
GROWING deliverance their jubilation centred.
For they knew that they were celebrating-and
rightly celebrating-the States redemption from
Organism; that they were casting the last clods
on the coffin in which the body of the once
formidable fusionist party lay.
Fusion is dead" was the slogan OF the prin-
cipaI speakers, and the platform congratulated
the State that its recent votes had made mani
fest that there was mo permanent place in
American politics for a political leader who
bases his claims for popular support upon the
failures or disappointments of the people"
Only after twelve years of uphill struggle has
ii been possible 10 write such sentence def
nitely and positively into Nebraska platform.
From 1890 TO 1902 the forces of unrest which
Mr.. Bryan was TO lead and organize dominated
the State. While still fighting apart as Demo
Gratis and Populists, the Republican organiza-
ton could achieve an occasional victory over
them-as in 1892 and 1894. But welded into a
single fusion party they won the State and
held II, with no breaks till 1900. That year
Mckinley electors were chosen by a plurality
Of S222. and the legislature was captured But
four out of six seats in Congress were lost, and
# was not until 1902 that the fusionist cause
received its unmistakabe death blow Last fall
the Republicans Won five out OF the six Con-
gress districts, carried the legislature by two
thirds majority, and elected a full State ticket
BY pluralities running in some cases as high as
1900 and 10000.
II a victory more decisive than even the
most sanguine Republican managers had looked
for; and its decisiveness has now encouraged
the Republican party In Nebraska to give for.

Drawers of sulkies or Of track wagons score
again and again, as q rule. before they get the
signal With the tedious scoring and the lay
ing up of heats, too many trotting and pacing
contests become a WEAKNESS to the flesh.
The speeders that pull the pneumatic tires
over the measured mile and are driven by mas
ter reinsmen are more popular this summer than
for long series of seasons. There is a genuine
boom in trotting, there is among the multi
tudes of people who swarm to see the exploits
of the runners; and everybody who admires a
fast trotter is bubbling over with enthusiastic
praise of Mr.. Billingss Lou Dillon, the new
Maud S. of the sulky. Mr.. Billings follows the
excellent example of Robert Bonner and Will
lam H, Vanderbilt and never allows Lou Dillon
to trot for money or to take part in race. But
