STUDYING THE LABOR PROBLEM.
The French Governments Agent Confer
ring With Gompers Unon It

The French Governments Agent Confer
ring With Gompers Upon 1t.
NEW YORK, Jan. S-M Paul Deschanel,
who has been appointed by the French Gov
ernment to study the labor problem in this
country, called on President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor, yester-
day and asked him a number of questions
NJ. Deschanel's first inquiries were: care
the public authorities of the United States
induced, through public opinion, to inter-
fere, either by law or any other means, in
the regulation of social questions? If so, in
what way and how far do they act, and what
is the prevailing sentiment among Ameri-
can statesmen concerning the pres
ent and future of labor?" He also
asked how the disputes of employer and
employees were settled, and if arbitration
was compulsory.
President Gompers replied that the labor
ers relied principally upon their own, organ
lied efforts to secure favorable conditions.
In some instances States had regulated the
hours of labor for men, especially on State
work, and the hours of females and children
in factories. There was growing feeling,
he said in favor of securing the advantages
which legislation offers in this direction.
The sentiment among American statesmen,
he thought, is growing in favor of arbitra-
tion, and it is advocated by the best organ
iZations

DEATH OF MRS. MARY YOUNG.
One of the Best Known Women in IL
County Passes AWay

One OF the Best Known Women in the
County Passes Away.
Forest Grove suffers great loss in the
death Of Mrs. Mary Young, who for 70
years has been personifcation of all the
virtues that go to make up the good citizen,
mother and Christian. She was woman
who might have shone in more extended
connection, on account of her mental ac-
quirements, but had no desire for notoriety
and rounded out her career as pattern of
all that is excellent in woman. She was "a
years of age and resided in the same house
she entered as a bride 81 years ago.
Through the exemplifcation of the char
acter of virtuous woman described in the
Proverbs of Solomon, chapter XXI, Mrs
Young had always an earnest desire after
knowledge, and Rev. DR. Beacon states
that she knew the contents of his library as
well as he did himself
She has two sons both engaged in this
city. A. B. Young IN the agricultural
implement and seed business, and Joseph
G. Young an attorney. Quite a number of
years ago, A. r. Young made an arrange
ment by which his mother was to have the
use of his share of the family estate in
Robinson township for life, the arrange
ment being that under no circumstances
could it be aIienated until after her death.
1t proved very profitable thing for Mr..
Young, as about three years ago 1000
barrel well was struck on the farm and oil
was worth producing then. The wells
production is still worth $40 day even at
the low price of petroleum.

Harrison and Platt machine in New York
means to most New York Republicans
about the same thing The poll OF the State
Legislature made bv the World shows'a de-
cided preference for the man from Maine.
The proportion would probably hold good
throughout the State. The Presidential
New York appointments have not been sat-
isfactory to the Republicans here. This is
not President Harrison's fault. Nc, ,possi-
BILE combinations or compromises could
have been made by him that would not
have left bitter sting behind. The ad-
ministratiOn would be better off to-day, so
far as the future is concerned, if it had no
New York patronage whatever, What ap-
plies TO this administration applies with
equal force to the administrations of the
past and will apply 10 those to come.
The high federal officers of New York have
split the party management beyond repair.
A patronage which was important enough
TO cause Roscoe Conkling to resign his seat
in the Senate of the United States is not
unlikely to be a source of considerable irri-
tation to the smaller men who succeeded
him. In Cleveland's hands this power was
exercised and this patronage was distributed
in way that will never be forgiven by the
Democracy of New York. He had the
same extremes to satisfy that Garfield had.
And the result killed him politically in
New York and Indiana. Now comes Presl-
dent Harrison, and he will in his turn feel
the sharp iron of ingratitude and Jealousy
and factional rancor when it comes to MAX
ing up the New York delegation to the next
national convention.
Blaine's Popularity Puzzle.
Curious. isn't it, that James G. Blaine
now overshadows Harrison in the public
mind Just as he overshadowed Garfield in
1881? Public opinion-Republican public
opinion-forced Blaine upon Garfield. The
same power made Blaine a State necessity
to Harrison. Nobody thought of the Gar
field administration except through Blaine.
And here he is now silently accepting the
laurels of the Harrison administration
where these rewards are won, and modestly
declining the responsibility for questiona-
BILE policy. What is the secret of this
magnetic human force? What has Blaine
actually accomplished that has placed him
so near the people-that has impres ed his
personality upon the popular heart?
What does he represent that Har-
rison does not represent? What could
Blaine do as President that Harrison can
not do? Would Blaine step down from the
Presidential chair at the end OF four years
as popular and great in public estimation as
he is now; as he has been at any time dur
ing the last two decades?
l doubt it. My own opinion is that
Blaine is largely sentiment. Put to the
irving test of chief responsibility for the
administration of the Government, and the
ideal 'Only living American" would prob
ably crumble into ordinary dust Blaine's
post mortem greatness will perhaps depend
on his declination of the Presidency when
it is reasonably certain he could have been
elected.
Yet it really seems necessary for some
body's comfort that James G. Blaine should
be killed off again pretty soon.
