Trouble I'm the AsyIuni.

ELK PoINT, June 23.-There is trouble
at the poor asylum of this county. "Old
Xeck," a club-footed man, was in town
today and showed several black and
blue spots on his back and shoulders,
which be says were made by being
struck with a broom by the matron.
ZCck also claims that the matron hit
him on the side of the head with an
ordinary farm shovel. The superinten-
dent also struck him several times with
a buggy whip. One OF the county COM
lnissioners visited tide asylum to ascer-
tain the cause of the disturbance, and
he said that the language of the matron
was too obscene to put in print. A
new superintendent and matron will be
placed in charge as soon as they can be
secured.

President O'Brien, of the Carlisle
club, of Yankton, has received the fol-
lowing letter from ex-President Cleve.
land:
MARION, Mass, June BE. NJ. OiBrien,
Esq, President Carlisle Club-Dear Sir
| desire to express through you to the Car
Isle club, of Yankton, my thanks for the
courtesy OF putting my name upon it's roll
of honorary mem bcrs. and for the invita-.
tion to address the club on the 21st inst. ]
am glad to know also that the impractical
ity of my asserting to the lattor is antici-
pated. l note your expression that the
II embers of tho club ARE delving into the
mysteries of tariff reform"
The mysteries of this question are chiefly
manufactured by those who desire for
their own purposes to confuse the subject
and cloud the understanding of the people
with abstruse theories, and while in SOM
of its phases and as applied to certain in
terests and localities, there may be intri
cacies in the study of this question, there
ought to be no difficulty in satisfying any
thoughtful man whose welfare depends
upon agricultural prosperitylthat present
tariff inequalities and oppression should
be remedied.
! hope that IL will be the mission of the
Carlisle club to bring home to the people
Of its locality the fact that they are un.
fairly treated in this matter, and that they
will continue to be imposed upon so long as
ethey allow those selfshly interested in the
p~erpetuation of present conditions to de
ceive them and to assume to do their
thinAing for them. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEyELAND.

WANT INFORMATION
The French After knowledge on
the Labor Problem.
Their Government Will Endeavor TO
Clean a Mass of Data From
This Country.

WASHINGTON. June 27.-The French
minister, NJ. Theodore Roustan, has
just received from his government an
important circular on the subject OF
labor organization. The document
points out that various changes have
taken place of late in the conditions OF
manual labor; that in the opinion of the
government the moment has arrived for
studying measures OF reform, and that
it is the belief Of the minister for for
eign affairs, M. Ribot, that the chambers
would be better able to treat this ques-
ton if il were in possession ofthe fullest
possible information regarding the con-
dition Of the working classes in other
industrial countries. M. Roustan is
therefore instructed to fully and care
fully examine into and report upon the
following points: The relative num-
bers Of workmen and employers; the
number of workshops and factories; the
condition of the workingmen OF the
United States from O social, political
and economical point of view; the
standard Of wages in relation to the
prices Of workmanship; the amount OF
production and the prices OF provisionsi
the extent of intervention by public
authorities in labor contracts; the meas'
ures adopted and enforced with respect
to dangerous and unhealthy establish
ments; the question OF Sunday la
Dor; the fixing and payment OF wage
the responsibility OF employers in case
of accident; the extent and results OF
competition OF foreign workmen; the
extent of disputes between employers
and employees, together with their ordi'
nary causes; the extent OF school aid
and OF approximation funds, together
with details regarding w~orkingmen's
dwellings, cooperative institutions, pop
ular banks and loan associations.
The officials OF the French embassy
claim that it will take from six 10 nine
months to obtain the information de-
sired by the government. The returns
of the present census may assist them in
part, but a goodly proportion OF the in
formation desired must be secured from
outside sources. The French consulS
throughout the country will receive in
fow days a circular from M. Roustan re-
auesting them to obtain and forward to
him with all possible dispatch copies Of
whatever state reports may have been
issued during the past W years bear
ing upon subjects in interest. The
National Federation of Labor, the
| knights of Labor and other trade or
carnations will also be appealed to fol
information.
