interesting statistics respecting the production Of
wool and the manufacture Of woolen fabrics in the
State Of Michigan II says Michigan has gone into
the growing of wool at rapid rate and is destined
TO keep on increasing. Last year the surplus that
was exported was over 200 900 lbs and the small

lbs. more This season the amount exported will
not fall short Of co., 900 lbs; and at the same ra

THE R EPU BLIC.
WASN'T N GT0N:
MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1919.



One week of the session has passed in
Intellectual efforts to organize the House OF
Representatives. 1t was clearly ascer-
tanned, the first day, that neither the
Wing nor the Democratic party, as such,
had majority in the popular branch OF
the Legislature which ever, therefore,
succeeds in gaining the Speaker, cannot
claim his election as party triumph.
We have heretofore expressed the opin-
ion that, considering all the circumstances
of the case, the speakership might be
Welded to the Wing party without com
promising the party iealty Of the Oppose
ton. No administration, ever before,
upon the meeting of the first Congress
after its installation, has found adverse
maiorities in both branches. 1t is clear
that the measures or recommendations OF
the Government will derive no strength
from the party composition of either House.
General TAYLOR will open communica-
tons with the National Legislature under
less IdNOTiDIt thdii VI
his predecessors, let the House of Repre-
sentatives be organized as it may. 1t is
therefore conceding little to the popular
will which elevated him to the Presidency,
TO select a presiding officer favorable to
his Administration, especially as no other
party, per Sc, has majority of the House.
In the predicament in which parties find
themselves in that branch of the Leglsla-
ture, we would ask if there is any safer
suggestion to follow than that which solves
difficulty by paying Difference to the
popular will, as evinced in the selection OF
a Chief Magistrate' The country certainly
desires to give the President OF its choice
fair hearing. 1t is not yielding much IN
this direction to elect Speaker favorable
to his A administration, however the House
may not be strictly so. The Executive is
prepared for any alternative. We barely
throw out the suggestions for such conside-
ration as those who are responsible for the
organization of the House may choose TO-
give them.

EXCITEMENT IN CAYUGA CoUNTy.-C Considerable
| excitement exists in Cayuga county, ON account Of
| the murder of pedlar named Adler, who is sup
posed to have been murdered by two sons of a
farmer named Balm, residing in the north part of
the county. Adler German pedlar of choice
dry goods and jewelry, and stayed at Baims house
| the night before he disappeared. His failing to
meet his brother at Auburn, who is also pcdlar,
at appointed time, excited suspicion, and search
was made for him. He was traced TO Baim's house,
and the two sons arrested. II was ascertaned
that they had been in possession of unusual
amount of jewelry and other goods similar to those
carried by Adler. The body of Adler was found
buried about mile from Baim's house, by sports
mans dog. His skull was found broken; and the
Auburn Advertiser thinks the circumstances are
strong against the young Baims who are still
under arrest.

The Union throws the blame of the
failure of the House of Representatives to
organize for business upon the Wings. 1t
deduces the responsibility of the Admin
istration from the fact that it is in mi
nority in that body. The process OF rea-
soning which makes the minority resPon-
isibe for what an adverse majority may
do or fail to do, is peculiar TO the "sole
organ," whose lucid logic is well adapted
to It's loose facts.
The Union insists that " the majority of
every dehberative body has right to pre-
scribe its organization and elect Its Off
GERS" Well, who prevents them from
doing 500 We have not learned that
either the President or any member Of his
Cabinet has endeavored to coerce the
Opposition in any way whatever. The
members of Congress are just as free from
Executive dictaton as If they were at
home by their own fresides. Are the De-
mocrats, as party, in the majority We
believe neither Wing nor Democrat has
the House, and so expressed ourselves
upon the first presentotlon OF what We
regarded as potent fact. The Union,
however, is for taking the responsibility
Of a thorough Democratic organization.
OF a piece with the "sole organs"
logic is It's fairness. 1t denounces a sug-
gestion of ours that the Wing party will
adhere TO its nomination, as an attempt at
Executive dictation. The Union can never
appreciate the possibility Of journal being
IN favor OF an administration and at the same
time capable OF expressing an independent
opinion: its OWE subseryient position I'M
der the last administration is ever recur-
ring TO it-a position We dlsavowed in the
first number Of our paper, and whenever
thereafter there was any occasion TO do
so, as we now do. But whilst it condemns
what we suggested in relation to the Wing
nominee. il of course thinks il commend
able in itself to rally the Opposition to the
support Of Mr.. Cobb-it is the 'Hicense
of opposition" For example, last Tues
day, III commenting upon the proceedings
Of the previous day, the Union remarked
Gas a steady adherence TO the regular
nomination Of the party has already given
50 much encouragement to the friends Of
a Democratic organization Of the House,
we suppose the friends Of Mr.. Goth will
continue to give him their support until
the election is decided. II such should
be the course pursued, we have no doubt
of his ultimate success. II not, it seems
TO Us that all will be at sea again, and the
final result cannot be anticipated"
