The Scramble for Office.

Uncle Sam pays his 200 900 employees,
including soldiers and sailors, an
average salary of 1926 apiece. The
average earnings of the plain, every
day citizen, who gets pay in proper
ton TO the work he does, are about
half that much, probably. This state
of affairs explains, perhaps, why about
26. 100000 male American citizens
make dead set for about 80, 900 Offices
every four years. About %, $50. 600 are
disappointed every time, it is true, after
wasting great deal of money and
patience, but they have had a chance
at a pretty big thing. 60 IA

the good qualities he possessed. His re-
mains were brought home and placed in

D. D. DoNAVAN
THE MASCOT


1t is with feelings of pride that we announce
to our ten thousand readers this week that
the Hon. D. D. Donovan, our efficient Repre-
sentative in the Legislature, was accorded the
nomination for Congress in this, the 9Th dis
trict, at the convention held in Defiance on
Tuesday. The convention was one of the
largest and best natured ever held in the
district, and the much desired result Ito Hem
ry county delegates at least) was reached upon
the 18th tallot, when Mr.. Donovan was de-
clared the nominee. . His presence in the
convention hall was greeted with enthusiast
tic applause, and in acknowledging the honor
conferred he made one of the neatest little
speeches ever listened to, upon which he was
complimented upon every hand. Little
Henry feels proud over the victory, and
pledges the other counties in the district that
she will give the nominee such a majority
that the demagogue Brigham cannot over
come in the district. Full proceedings of
the convention are given in this impression.

B-In letter to an Ohio Statesman, Con-
gresham G. w. Atkinson, the Republican
from the Wheeling district, says: II agree
with you that the next House will most likely
be Democratic. The tide is against us. The
administration is not satisfactory. The just
must suffer with the unjust" If Mr.. Atkin-
son thinks Reeds house is any better than
Harrison's administration he has novel way
of looking at things. Clarkson, who has just
retired from the postofice department, has
been put in charge Of the Republican Con.
gressional canvass at Washington, but the
business will really be in charge of the peo-
pie OF the various districts who are to do the
voting. Mr.. Clarkson in an interview doesn't
take a very encouraging view Of the situa-
ton. He comedies the loss Of 25 Republican
members by recent apportionments, and
says there mustbe gain Of 20 somewhere to
make up for this. And for the life of the
men he can't tell whore these gains are to
come from; but adds The consolation: II do
not wish to be understood as giving up the
fght at the out,start" Still, ii looks that
way. Congressman Cannon has been quoted
as concedinga Democratic majority Of a5 to
40 in the next House. &

A Ship Canal.

The Erie ship canal commission having in
charge the project for constructing a water
way between Lake Erie and the Ohio river in
the State Of Pennsylvania claims that feas-
ible route has been discovered between Erie
and Pittsburg, which will require twenty-five
locks on the Erie side of the Summit and
forty eight locks on the Pittsburg side.
Should the millions Of dollars necessary To
complete the work ever be furnished, such a
number Of locks will make interesting navi-
CATION for lake crafts. The commission, how
ever, have not completed their work, but
propose to survey another route by way Of
the Allegheny river. This will afford more
work for those who are reaping a harvest
from the project whether it ever amounts to
anything or not. So far as the public inter-
ests of the United States are concerned il
would be much better to enlarge the Ohio
canals from Toledo southward to the Ohio
river to capacity sufficient to float lake
shipping than to attempt crossing the noun
tains Of Pennsylvania. That waterway Of
sufficient capacity tocsrry war vessels, from
the interior TO these lakes may become a
needed improvement sometime lis qnite

The proposition of the Findlay gas

"DARKEST ENGLAND. i"

General Booth, the Salvation Army Lead
er, and His Book-A Profound I'm
preston Created Throughout All Class
es in England-The Suggestions of tho
Work in Brief.
LONDON, Oct. 21.-The press COM
ment at great length upon the plan
outlined by Salvation Army General
Booth, in his book, Darkest England,
and the Way Out Of It," for the relief
of the miserable poor of England. The
opinion is generally favorable to a
trial of the scheme. The least encour.
aging article on the subject is that OF
the Times, and even this is only mildly
in opposition. The book has made a
profound impression upon all classes,
and to many it is revelation of a con-
dition of affairs undreamed of by them.
No one car read the work with
out feeling an uncomfortable sense OF
impending disaster, and it is perhaps
his which leads nearly every one to cry
out to General Booth, in effect: 'Go
ahead and try your plan, and we will do
all we can to help you" The sugges-
tion of the author is, in brief, the es-
tablishment of houses of refuge all over
the kingdom, and the organization Of
volunteer bands to seek out and rescue
the unfortunate, and minister to their
minds and bodies until employment is
found. Their are many ingenious de-
tails in the scheme, which could only
have been devised by man thoroughly
experienced in the needs Of the poor,
and whose whole heart was in the
