THE "RAKE.OFF."
How the State Pays Some of its EN-
ployes.

The following taken from the Waver-
ly Watchman, reveals a peculiar state
Of affairs. We agree with:the Watch
man, that this is worse than taking
away mans pension:
IA few months ago William Mus
tain, a veteran of the 33rd Ohio, Sc
cured the position of lock tender at the
Three Locks at a salary OF SIS a
month. The work proving more la
borious than he anticipated, ne finally
"threw up his job'' and removed to
Waverly. When he quit the State
owed him for three months work. A
time-check for $40 was given him by
the superintendent of canals. This he
presented to the canal collector, sup
posing the cash would be forthcom-
ing; but he was surprised, chagrined
and mortified beyond endurance when
he was informed "that $5 would he de-
Quoted from the amount Of his time
check for necessary expenses Just
what these necessary" expenses are
Mustain remains in blissful ignorance.
But needing the money badly, he
yielded point and gave them the
rake-off. Did he get his $40? Not
much. This was merely preface-an
initiatory step toward a higher and
nobler rake-off. He was handed an
order on Chillicothean (the work be-
ing performed in Ross county, This
made trip to Chillicothe necessary
costing an additional $1.20. He pre-
sented his order TO the ChilIicothean,
expecting to receive four los in crisp
new greenbacks. The Chillicothean
eyed him for a minute, as il TO make
sure Of his victim, and then said:
"There being no money in the State
Treasury to pay these claims, you
must submit to a discount of twenty
per cent? Mustain gasped for breath
as he saw his funds melting away like
fog before the morning sun, but real
izing he was In the hands Of the Philis-
tines, he nodded his willingness to the
transaction, which bordered on grand
larceny.
On his way home he made a mental
calculation as the condition of his
finances. which panned out thus:
Necessary" expenses. -. ...... $5 90
Trip to ChillIcothe. ......... / 20
Buncoed at Chillicothe. ........ 500
Making $14.20, or being within a
fraction Of one months pay. This is
but one of many instances which have
been reported to us.

valuable every product of the country.
The great body of the Democratic par
ty has withstOod the test put upon
them, but a portion were caught In
the meshes, but he will hold them NO
longer than they have time to think.
'"The result in Ohio is not a reversal
OF the verdict last year, and will have
no effct whatever upon the policy OF
the Democratic party. The work that
the people mapped out last fall for the
Democratic party to perform will be
performed no matter if McKinley's
plurality had been 100000. Ohio may
be Republican but the nation is Demo-
cratic. Ohio may follow the false
lights Of McKinleyism. but the sober
senses of the nation have confidence
in the doctrine of Grover Cleveland.
Let them take Ohio. 1t is but grant
ing them their own as Georgia is ours,
but they will find their Wanting over
victory In Ohio was only tempest
In a tea pot, and as barren of results as
a cotton patch in Labrador"

Do you not wish to save
money, clothes, time, labor,
fuel, and health, If possible?
All these can be saved by the
use of Dobbins' Electric Soap.
Try it once. We say this,
knowing that if you try it,
once, you will always use it,
1t is economy to save one,
two or three cents on the
price of a bar of soap, and
lose five dollars or more, in
ruined, tender rotted clothing,
spoiled by the strong soda
in the poor soap? Washing
powders, concentrated lye, and
cheap soaps, are low priced, to
be sure, but they are terribly
expensive, taking ruined cloth
ing into account.

THE GIFT DIVINE.

A single tree my prospect Is.
OF all the lavish greenness
That summer yields, have but this
In place Of utter leanness. M
Hemmed in by walls of brick and stone,
This one green outlook is my own.
But breadth of land and sweep of sea
Have failed of such attraction,
And bloomy gardens granted me
Less simple satisfaction,
Less thankful sense of happiness,
Than now in one tree possess.
1t shuts all sordid things away;
All pleasant things enhances;
1t fills the silence day by day
With summers sweetest fancies;
Brooks babble, wild flowers smile for me
And forests murmur in my tree.
Birds, too. and butterflies and bees
Throng in its compass narrow;
A choir of rippling harmonies
Ihear in one brown sparrow;
A CLINT Of sudden sunshine brings
The dream of many colored wings.
Ah, gift divine! what sorrow curbs,
What bitter fate can fout you?
Better with you meal of herbs
Than the stalled OK without you;
For eyes that you anoint can see
All natures beauty in ono tree.

AT THE SIGN OF The SKULL.

A strange old tavern have / seen.
The walls are thick, the garden green.
Ills damp and foul, yet through the door
Do rich men come as well as poor.
They come By night, and they come by day,
And never guest is turned away.
The landlord, an unwholesome fellow,
Has a complexion white and yellow.
And though he looks exceedingly thin
Does nothing else but grin and grin
At all his guests, who, after awhile,
Begin TO initiate his smile.
The guests are q fearful sight to see,
Though some are people Of high degree,
For no one asks when carriage arrives
A decent account of the inmates lives,
But holy virgins and men Of sin
Sleep cheek by jowl in this careless inn.
And beautiful youths in their strength ant
pride
Have taken beds by leper's side,
But all sleep well, and it never was said
That any kind Of complaint was made.
For all the people who pass that way
Appear to intend a heightened stay.
The house has a singular bill of fare
Nothing dainty, nothing rare,
But only one dish, and that dish meat,
Which never guest was known to eat.
Night and day the meal goes on,
And the guests themselves are fed uponl
These merry guests are all Of them bound
To land far of. but never found
That any one knew when he should start,
Or wished from this pleasant house to part.
o strange old tavern, with garden greenl
In every town its walls are seen.
Now the question has often been asked Of me
Is it really as bad as it seems to beP

McKinlex,s Empty Triumph.

The st. Clairsville Gazette sums up
McKinley's campaign and victory for
what 1t is worth, in this language:
ut is splendid personal triumph
for Governor Mckinley, but his cam
paign, brilliant as it was and signal as
is his victory, can hardly add a
feathers weight to his reputation as a
statesman nor advance him one step
nearer the presidency. His appeal was
to the prejudlces and most brutal in
stincts of mans nature. There was
nothing tending to elevate in morals
or patriotism. His pleas were those OF
a demagogue, and his practices those
Of the anarchist. 1t was studied ef-
fort throughout to deceive and misrep-
resent, to depress business and drive
men to the wall, and to make less
