INCREASED Production os woOL.

The increased production Of wool
In the world during the several de-
cades since 1890 Is truly astonishing
and furnishes n striking illustration,
of the advancement of modern civill-
zation, the growth Of manufactures
and discoveries and progress made In
useful arts. The wooden industry has
expanded in SO many directions and
Is still increasing so rapidly that there
Is little danger Of overproduction Of
the staple. Prices may not always
he satisfactory, but the consumption
of the product, which has increased
with such astonishing rapidity, will
still advance. So far as homegrown
woolsa are concerned, ithas been shown
that there ape some important lines
OF manufacture in which there is a
large deficiency of the raw material
In the United States. This is espe.
cially true of superfine wools. There
is also a lack of combing wools OF
English blood.
The amount of wool produced In
the world In 1880 was about 800, ,000,-
600 pounds in 1878 the total pro-
duction in round numbers was / $780,
600, 900 polnds, of which amount,
according to the best statistical infor-
nation collated, Europe produced
740, 900, zoo pounds, the La Plata
countries of South America 24O, ,000,-
900 pounds, the United States $685.
900 900 pounds, and South Africa
As. 900, 900 pounds. The production
has considerably increased during
each of the three seasons last passed,
but not beyond the requirements OF
the world for the staple.
srhe bulk of the worlds product
of wool is controlled by England. The
production in Great Britain is greater
in quantity than that grown in the
! United States, while nearly oil the
wools of Australia and South Africa
pass through English hands. The
requirements of English mills Absorb
such vast quantities of wool, that hel
wool dealers and manufacturers prac
tlcalIy control the wool grown out
side of this country. We ought 4
grow all the wool, of every descrip
tion, that Is consumed by our manu-
faoturers, and IL no untoward or un
friendly circumstances intervene, w
believe that this will DO the case Il
a few years.

Singing from tho mountain spring,
As Il gurgle1 over

Through tho grass and clover;
Singing. laughing all the day;
Laughing. singing al the way.
Singing through the Ioafy slells,
Where the shadows linger.
And the wild flowers ring their bells
To the merry singer
Rippling, laughing all the white
Singing, Fippling all q smile.
Singing round the NOISY stone.
Meath tho hazel bushes;
Singing when It's nil alone,
Stealing through, tho rushes,
Happy a. the day Is long,
Never speaking but in song.
Singing NJ the mornings dawn,
When the day Is breaking;
Singing when the lights Withdrawn,
And the stars arc waking;
Watching. singing through the night
Singing, waiting for the light.
Singing In tho April days,
When the clouds are weeping;
Singing through the summer haze,
When the men are reaplng;
Singing through tho Antumn's chill
Through the wiater singing still.
So. my soul, wake mp the song,

IMPEACHMENT.
A Resolution to Impeach the Governor and
Attorney General of Pennsylvania.


HARRISBURG, Pa, May Elm the House
of Representatives this morning Mr. Bierly,
of Lycoming County, presented, by request,
a petition of citizens of Laekawanna County,
asking for the impeachment of Governor
Hoyt and Attorney General Palmer for their
action in reference to the Judiciary of that
County. The petition claimed that the
Judges appointed to serve five years should
only have been appointed until the next
general election, and that the action of the
Governor in Withholding the commissions
of the Judges since claiming to be elected
was an lnfraction of the Constitution and
laws of the State. 1t further asks the i'm
peachment on the grounds of corrupt con-
duct in pardoning Kemble and his COM
paniOns from punishment due them for
their crimes
Mr.. Ruddimer offered resolution char
acteriEing the petition as ''impertinent inn
proper and scandalous"-that it should be
returned and proceedings expunged from
the record
This was followed by an amendment 10
refer it to the Judiciary General Commit
tee. 4 stormy scene ensued, and amid the
utmost excitement speeches OF a violent
character were made. Finally, the amend
ment was defeated, and Ruddimers reso-
luton was adopted, so TO 80, the majority of
the nays being Democrats.

Advising Csnxling to Give Up the Fight.

WAsuINenoN. May 9.-The Republicans
are still working hard to prevents contest
between ConkIing and the Administration.
The President has declared his ultimatum.
Several true friends of ConkIing, who are
Stalwart Republicans of New York. have
come to Washington to aid in adjusting this
trouble. They urge Conkling 10 let
RobertSon's nomination be reported from
the Committee without any recommenda-
hon either favorable or unfavorable.
simply to submit it to the Senate for its
action, and that COnkling shall not make
any speech or say any word attacking the
Administration, unless he shall be attacked
by some Administration Senator This
plan was urged upon Conkling as an easy
way 10 drop fight in which he is certain to
be beaten. Conkling made no reply, but
some OF his friends think he may consent to
adopt this advice in order to Keep a place
in his party.
The Republican Senators are now in
caucus, and the almost universal opinion is
that they will agree to act in the Robertson
case. Some Republicans favor clearing up
business and adiourning at an early day.

LONDON, May 3-A Paris dispatch says
Messrs Horton and Cernusch have with
drawn their proposals, as the Committee de-
cided to leave all questions of theory to
general discussion. The Committee has
adopted the following programme submitted
by Vrolik, Dutch delegate:
l. Have the diminution and great oscil-
lations in the value of silver which have Oc-
CURED, especially in late years, been injur-
ious TO commerce. and consequently TO
general prosperity? Is it desirable for
ratio value between the two metals to have
a greater fiXity?
,. are the phenomena indicated IN the
first part of the foregoing question TO be at
tributed to the increase in the production OF
silver, or TO legislative measures?
3. Is it probable or not that il large
group of States accords free and unlimited
coinage of legal pieces of both metals, having
full paying power in uniform proportion for
gold and silver contained in the monetary
unit of each metal, stability, if not abs0-
lutely, at least very substantial, will be OBJ
tanned in relation TO the value of these met
ais?
f. In case the preceding question is an
swered affirmatively, what measures should
be taken for reducing TO a minimum the

the two metals-for instance, would it
be desirable to impose on chartered
banks of issue the obligation of al
ways accepting at a fixed price ingOts
of gold and silver offered them by public
could the public be insured the same
privileges in countries where there Is no
chartered bank of issue? Should mintage
be gratuitouS or at least uniform in all
countries for bar metals? Should there be
an understanding to have, free OF all
obstruction, international commerce in
preceding metals?

THE PRESIDENT REMAINS FIRM.

THE PRESIDENT REMAINS FIRM.
The President is firm and determined. He
has been urged by close friends for some
time to take aggressive measures, but he
hesitated, hoping some way of maintaining
harmony in the party consistent with
his honor and dignity might be found.
He could not surrender any particle OF
his executive prerogative, so he has
held by Withdrawing Robinson or consent
ing to any compromise. He has expressed
himself ON all occasions as anxious to do
full justice to both wings of the New York
Republicans. When Conkling carried
through the Republican caucus his policy,
which was directly antagonistic to that
of the Administration, in regard
to Robertson, the President felt
compelled to take some action. Vice
President Arthur and Senator Platt were at
the White House this morning by the
Presidents request, and he talked frankly
10 them. When the President learned posi-
lively that nothing short of permitting
Robertson's nomination to lie un-
acted upon would satisfy Conk-
ling, he informed Arthur what he in
tended to do. When the message was
opened in Senate, Arthur was in the Vice
Presidents room, in the rear of the Senate
Chamber. A Senator went in and told him
of the message. Arthur replied that he had
Senator Hale SAID tonight that the Presi-
dent ought TO have taken this step several
weeks ago.
The Presidents purpose is declared to be
to fill all New York Federal offices with men
who will not fight the Administration for
Conkling.
He does not intend to make war on Conk-
ling in New York, but at the same time he
will not put power in Conklings hands for

was reported that the nominations
were Withdrawn to permit Conkling
to fill places with men of his own
choice, as he had said to Dawes
Committee that the District Attorneys and
Marshals were not appointed at his request.
A reporter of the Western Associated
Press went to high authority in the Admin
istration and made special inquiry on this
point. The reply was that such report was
not true; that the Administration had been
reluctantly forced into this fight,
as Conkling had declared war
to the knife. One of the most distinguished
Republicans of the country and trusted
friend of Conkling, said also that the Presi-
dents message was no peace-Offering, and if
it had been Conkling would not accept that
the Republican party of New York as repre-
sented by C0nkling would condemn him if
he did not resist Robertson's appointment
TO the bitter end; that Conkling would not
compromise every other Federal Office in
New York, and let Robertson become Col
lector.
When the message was read in the Senate
Conkling was reading paper, and did not
look up. He knew before hand what il
was His friends who have talked with him
tonight say he is not dismayed; that he is
confident the stalwarts will rally closer
around; that he considers the
message as an implied warn
