nea3I, Jackso, r, Green.

! On the afternoon of Thursday last,
at 2 O'Clock p. m., jackson L. Green. a
prominent and highly esteemed citi--i
zen of Ravenna, died at his residence
on North Meridian street, after long
and DainfaI illness. Mr.. Green was
a native of Bloomsbury, Columbia,
Pa, where he was born February
I'd. 1821-and was at his death in his
forty-eighth year. He came to this
county in early life, and lived in Brim-
field, where he served an apprentice
ship with Mr.. Coffman, a blacksmith
of that town. In 1910 he removed to
Rayenna, and worked for Clark Il Co.
for something over two years, when
he formed partnership with Mr.. T.
Carts, under the firm name OF Carts
& Green, which confined until l646.
In the summer of 1914. at a Demo-
cratic pole-raising in Ravenna, he lost
7 an arm by the premature discharge of
| cannon. In 1877 he was elected
Treasurer of the county,. and two
years after was reelected, perform
! ing the duties of the Office with credit
to himself and acceptably to the peo-
kple. After leaving the office, he en-
gagged in the hat trade, purchasing the
store of H. I.TDay at No. 4Phenix
Block. In 1860 he connected the
clothing store of c. Greenfelder with
his hat business, and conducted both
very successfully until 1866, when he
! sold his entire business to Flath &
! Reed. Some time in June, 1862, he
\ was stricken with paralYsis-the first
3 of six attacks of that terrible disease
1.-THE last attack seizing him in Janu-
airy, 1868, and leaving him utterly
helpless and partially spcechless, in
which condition he remained up to
the date above, when death came and
relieved him of his sufferings.
His remains were buried Sunday
Iafternoon, and were attended by {
large. concourse of Odd Fellows and
Masons. of which he was a member

The Labor Bill.

The bill 80 provide for the better protec-
stion of laborcrs," now before the House,
has one glaringly Objectionable feature, inas-
much az it leaves the final settlement OF all
differences between the employer and the
laborer in the hands Of an irresponsible
Commissioner of Labor. AS we have al-
ready said, no objection is made to the ap-
pointment of discreet and Intelligent com
missioners, who will see that the laborers
understand the terms Of the contracts which
they make, and that they are not imposed
on by the other parties 10 the contract But
all the good resulting from the action oil
these commissioners would be destroyed, il
they were Of the same class as the ordinary
run OF Radical officials. There is proba-
blity, at least, that the commissioners will
be appointed for party reasons and yet it Is
proposed to give them power which could
not safely be entrusted to the most upright
men in the State.
The clause of the bill leaving the final de-
cision of all differences to the Commission
ers of Labor should be stricken out. With
out that the laborers have security enough (;
and with it the employers have no security
at ALL
