It was first that a committee, named by the mayor, should decide upon a site; but ex-Governor Cornell saw in this proposal the laying of too much responsibility upon the shoulders of one man. He would rather have the mayor name three cther committees, and leave to them the selection of a committee on site. The mayor, in his turn, stated that he had expected to name & committee which should be broadly representative of the indus- trial and commercial interests of New York, so that no element should predominate over the rest. The president of the chamber of com- merce favored the mayor’s making the appoint- ment, provided he were prompt about it. So did Roswell P. Flower, who was afraid of let- ting the iron cool. Mr. Cornell persisted in his view. The president of the hotel men’s association couldn't Bee any force in it The mayor called ao halt on the controversy by putting the question and Mr. Cornell's objections were voted down. Two other meetings were held yesterday in New York, with the same general object in view—one under the auspices of the chamber of commerce and one of the Spanish- American Commercial Union, but they con- tented themselves with the adoption of a few resolutions. The worst cold water thrown on the scheme came from Russell Sturges, who wrote from Lake Mahopac: “The Presidential contest of the summer and autumn of 1892 seems to make that year a bad one. Is it too late to arrange for 1891?” This indicates that Mr. Sturges has a wisdom be- yond some of his cotemporarics, In any place where a presidential campaign is in full activ- ity, the world’s fair would be only a nuisance, | as Tue Star has pointed out before; and there | hy is but one spot in all America, otherwise suita- ble for the gathering of mankind, which does not suffer from the quadrennial aflliction of politics. rn There seems to be an incongruity between the statements of various classes of spoilsmen concerning the civil service law, which breaks the forceof allof them. From one source we hear that the law is a fraud and an outrage be- cause it steps between the appointing power and the beneficiary of a political victory, and prevents the distribution of proper rewards, From another quarter the cry comes that the law isa hollow sham, because, in spite of its pretensions, it accomplishes nothing, there being so many ways of evading its prcvisions. Which side are we to believe? A law cannot be at the same time a dead letter and an active obstruction. If the opponents of civil service reform could only follow Mr. Randall's sugges- tion to the democrats, and “get together,” it would save a deal of trouble to a public which struggles unsuccessfully to reconcile their con- flicting denunciations. ee ania ‘The New York papers are not spontaneously enthusiastic over the exposition meeting yes- terday. The World says that the meeting “was fairly attended, considering the season,” but that the managers “blundered from the start”; that “the program was evidently ar- ranged in advance, the resolutions were al- ready in the hands of the movers and the whole business was completed. The meeting adjourned in little more than half an hour. It is proper enough that the mayor of the city should be permanently at the head of the Ex- position committee. But it is also essential that the secretary and other officers should be citizens of responsibility and business standing, known favorably to the community. The premature and packed organization so bur- riedly made yesterday does not meet these re- quirements.” The World charges, also, “that the cut-and- dried resolutions providing for the appoint- ment of a committee to select a site for the ex- position of 1892, before it was known that the exposition would be held here, was the work of Contractor John D. Crimmins,” and inquires, “which of the public park grounds are the con- tractors after now?” There seems to be a large-sized unpleasant- ness growing among the exposition boomers, a ae However much the press of Gotham may laugh at the idea, Chicago's claim to the world’s fair of 1892 is at least as good as New York's, Her population may not be quite so great, but she covers more of the earth’s surface, and has therefore abundant room for exhibition buildings without having to take a railroad journey out of town to get to them. St Louis has not put in a demand yet, and San Wrancisco’s modesty is astonishing. There is time, however, to hear from all, and the more the merrier. As the great show of 1892 is going to be held in Washington, the wider the interest excited in it by such advertisements the more Pronounced its success is bound to be. oo The final decision that the legislators of New Hampshire can no longer draw their pay by the day, but must take the gross sum of two hunéred dollars for their services for an entire year, will cause the farmer element among them to rejoice doubly in a change from sum- mor to winter sessions. It must be a poor sea- son when they cannot do better than that at haying. Ex-Senator Riddleberger, who talks about Funning for Congress, is quoted as saying that he is “justas good a republican as he ever wes.” That ought to recommend him cer- tainly—to some other party.
