The Millers' Exposition.

The Millers' Exposition Commissioners
held their regular meeting yesterday. The
Machinery Committee reported that the
foundations were being laid for the en-
gines and that the pipes will be laid With
in few days and the shafting in readiness
soon. The engines will be in readiness by
May 9th. Colonel Robinson suggested
that the gentlemen just returned from
trip South, upon the excursion, be added
to the Reception Committee. Re-
ferred to the Reception Committee
of the Board. The President re-
ported that the Industrial Expo
sition Commission propose to roof in the
areas between the buildings and wanted to
know what the Millers' Exposition Board
would do to aid the work, provided the
roofs were put up in time for the Millers'
Exposition. The Committee was author
lied to expend 81, 200 for such purpose,
provided covered passage would be given
in the rear of the Music Hail. The Chair
men of the various Committees were
directed to report at the next meeting
what the expenses and contracts have been
to date. The Treasurer and Secretary were
ordered to keep payroll book, the em-
ployes to be paid weekly. The guarantee
fund was reported now, $40,750.

STAR TUESDAY EVENING APRIL s7 1880;

of those Central American CULTS or bays
that used to be found lying around
loose in the time of our eminent friends
Pizzaro and fernando Cortez that did
not belong to anybody. The Colombian
and Costa Rica Governm ents both lay
claim to the ownership of the land bord-
ering on this gulf, and the Panama Star
thinks that the United States ought
properly to have asked consent of one Or
the other of these powers before dump
ing its coal ashore. But we knew that
the territory did not belong to Costa
Rica because Colombia says it does not.
Nor does it belong to Colombia because
Costa Rica declares otherwise.
1t must necessarily belong to the
United States, because we have "coal-
ing station" established there with five
tons of coal. This is very clear and
automatic proposition, and if any of
those revolutionary South or Central
American Governments choose to gain
say it we shall have to refer them to the
example and precepts taught by Mr..
Furioso above alluded to.
The Panama Star, among other mani
testify absurd things, says that "it is an
indisputable proposition that the terrific
ry taken possession of is not
the property of the United States.
Whatever the conditions of the
Thompson grant may be at pres
ent, whether expired by limita-
tion or still in existence, it Is
argued it never conferred the right
to convey title to any foreign govern
ment. Neither the Panama Railroad
Company, the Canal Company, the Chi
riqui Improvement Company, or any
other has had any such principle recog-
nized in the concessions they have re-
ceived; but, on the contrary, such pre-
tension is mphatically forbidden" Such
stuff may do in place of argument down
at Panama, but we would point, by way
OF answer. to that coaling station, with
its five tons of the black diamonds at
the head of the Bay of Dulce, that don't
belong to anybody else, and hence
by rational ratiociuation must be the
of the great and expansive
Yankee Nation. If the United States
has no valid title to the place In fee SIM
pie it has at least nine times as good
a squatter right to it as anybody else,
since it has, as set forth in the beginning
Of this article, possession, and the num-
Der of points that possession gives are
vet forth very precisely in the adage.

THE ICE SUPPLY.

The exceptionally mild winter of the
past season appears to have stimulated
the ice dealers to unexampled activity
and enterprise in securing a sup
ply, and unless combinations shall be
made to run up the price, there ought to
be no lack of at least abundant ice at
prices the public will not consider ex-
tortionate. Intelligence from Barrie,
Ontario, state that at that point
an almost incalculable quantity of
the solid crystals in great blocks
have been harvested for the States
and for weeks the almost entire capacity
of the Northern and Northwestern Rail-
road absorbed for conveying this to this
eide the line. This is consigned to Mem
phis, Nashville, Vicksburg, Louisville,
New Orleans and other Southern cities,
as high frequently as fifty cars per day
passing over the road. Such as is sent TO
Cincinnati comes through by way of the
Canada Southern without breaking
bulk. Lake Smcoe is supplying large
ly for the New Orleans market, and
immense quantities is lying in store
houses that probably the capacity
of the roads to transport for two months
to come can not exhaust. 1t is stated
that at Barrie, since the beginning of
February, something like $4,000 has
been expended in wages for gathering
the ice supply, and vast amount of
capital has been invested in it with the
hope, of course, that the midsummer
demands in the States will carry the
price up to figures that will make the
speculation profitable. We shall soon
see, however, what the ice men are to do
for us here in Cincinnati.

COALING STATIONS AND THINGS.

Possession, they say, is nine points of
law. The United States steamer Adams
has formally established a coaling station
on the Isthmus of Panama at the Golfa
Dulce, and, as reminder to whoever it
may concern, that the Government
means business, has deposited five tons
Of coal on the shore. Unlike Bombastes
Furioso, the commander of the Adams
has not declared, "Whoever dares these
boots (that is to say coal } displace must
meet, etc., ETC." But for all that, We
think that it would not be altogether a
prudent proceeding for any European or
or other power to take any liberties with
that coal pile in the golfa aforesaid.
This Cola Dulce, by the way, is one

SPIRIT Of THE PRESS.


The Commercial says: Mr.. Ephraim Hol-
land should devote a few hours to literary
labor, with the aid of all able Private Secre-
tary, telling what he knows about election
frauds in this city. He should give with
the utmost particularly names, dates and
places, corroboratlng incidents, witnesses,
sums of mCney-all the variations of the
verIties, and then have the valuable mat
ter sealed up and placed in the Safe De-
pesit Company. He should then make his
will, and leave his memoirs to be published
ten days after his death. By taking these
precautions, We are OF opinion that he
may live long and be happy as it were.-
The fact is Grant is beaten. There is
barely chance that lie may be nominated
if he carries Illinois, and Without that
State his candidacy is hopeless s-This is
The birthday of General Ulysses S. Grant.
He is fifty eight years cf age, old enough
to know better than to run for third
term Of the Presidency of the United
States.-Senator Thurman ma? be said to
have something in the nature of boom.
His health is surprisingly good. His fences
are high though not pig-proof Altogether
the Senator is in promising way.

as he said, charged with q speech" but
he had some things to say, nevertheless,
when the proper occasion offered. His
speech is significant as indicating the
opinion Of prominent Democratic Sena-
tor as to the political issues upon which
the Presidential election OF this year will
hang. Mr.. Thurman has indicated what,
in his judgment is to be the issue of the
coming canvass. Mr.. Thurman comes i'm
mediately from the spot whence policies
are projected, even If they are not
always adopted by the people. He is
fresh from close communion with
the public men OF both parties, and from
the heart OF the national law-making
power. The issue upon which the people
will be called to Vote will be centraliza-
tion, as against the Constitutional Govern
ment Of the people in this Republic of
States. This is the essence, though not the
language, of Ssnat r Thurman's definition
of the chief question involved in the i'm
pending Presidential strugple.-In 1878 it
appears from sw orn testimony that $93, 900
were collected from Federal officers in vio-
lation OF the statute, or order, or both, and
the Republican Committee collected $780,
900 in that year for political purposes.

The Gazette says: During the month of
March eighty-three vessels left the Mersey
with 1865 emigrants, seeking homes in
the new wsrld. The returns for April are
expected to show q much greater number.
The exodus from Germany is also unprece-
dented.-Senator Thurman is sure it will
be Grant and on that prospect bases strong
hopes of his own nomination. 1t may be
Grant, but it will never he Thurman
One Of the last acts of the Beaconstield
Ministry was to reject the United States
our fishing vessels done by driving
them off by force from the fishing
rights which we have bought so
dearly. The substance of this decision is
that Nova Scotia local regulations may de-
prive our vessels of the privileges which
we bought from Grea Britain. This should
result in prompt movement for the abro-
cation of the unlucky fisheries treaty.
Republicans have to consider what would
be their situation, not only if Tilden we're
nominated. but what if the Democrats
should nominate Mr. Payne or Mr.. Groes-
beck, or some other VIII like these, would
be received as representing ability, respect
ability, and honesty in the executive ad-
ministration, and fidelity to the Union in
tae secession war. In no way can Republi-
cans reckon on probability, or even pos
slblllty, on the part of the Democrats
which would make safe for them to do fool
ishly.
