MAYOR JONES SCORES HANNA
He Denies lth,<t He is n Moral or Any
Other. Mind of Crnnk

Toledo, June s-Mayor Jones today re-
piled to the statements of Senator Hanna
in which the latter alluded to the Golden
Rule" mayor as a moral crank. The
mayor calls the. Senator a liar He says:
Il never deal in personalities. Hannaism,
Plattism, CruHerism. and bossism are all
the same. If we could believe that boss
ism would perish when the individuals who
represent it are dead our hope might be
quickened, but Mr.. Hanna, like all others
of his class, is simply a product of a Wig
orous social system that only provides a
plan for a few to live. If Mr.. Hanna is
correctly reported his ignorance and amaZ-
ing effrontery are simply appalling. That
he should come to the extent of parading
his veniality in the public press saying,
I sent some of my labor lieutenants down
to Toledo etc, is a slight indication of
the kind of man we may look for in your
Millionaire baron soon to be known IN this
country unless there is radical change
in the social order.
The whole interview is reeking with
the puffedup pride of a man who has been
transformed by the wicked system of le-
galized robbery known as business from a
being created in the image of God from
a man of possibly kindly nature, into an
intolerant tyrant and insufferable boss.
His reference to me and my ambition re-
specting the Governorship and my connec
tion with the labor convention in Column
bus is a tissue of lies which l cbaritably
charge to his leading characteristic, his
colossal ignorance. If we have reached a
period in the history of the great State
of Ohio when a boss like this can subvert
the will of the people as he did at the
Columbus convention, then indeed may
the people despair, for their cause is des-
perate. l do not believe such is the case.
l believe the forces of Righteousness. the
forces of fair play in politics. can be united
in Ohio and that this monstrous infamy of
our privately arranged State ticket can
be defeated. 1t is the duty of every lover
of liberty to put forth his best energies
from now on to election day."

the month S,361 recruits had been secured.
In April, 1899, the enlistments numbered

and 5000 There were more enlistments
in May, 1895. Than in any other month since
the war with Spain began They numbered
1859. The enlistments during other
months covered by the statement were as

According to the Paris Matin," the
French Government is about to demand
the extradition from England of the Grim
inal Esterhazy. Presumably that individ-
ual has been under the impression that he
was safe in London, under British ideas OF
immunity to political escapes; but 1t ought
to be difficult for him to bring himself
within that category. He is low. common
conspirator against the liberty of fellow
citizen, a perjurer. and a forger. 1t
is impossible 10 see why he should
not be apprehended and turned over
to justice, like any ordinary malefactor
properly charged with robbery, arson, or
other infamous crime against society. 1t
is not impossible that the mere suggestion
of extradition may start Esterhazy on
run for the United States. Should that
happen. it is to be hoped that he will fare
no better in this country than he would in
the United Kingdom. Such an exceptional
villain should be handed over to the nation
he has disgraced, even if we had not a line

he recall the Commission and leave his

in this connection has been not without
effect since it is difndently announced by
officers of the Administration that Prof.
Schurman is to be allowed to come home
in order to be at Cornell when school re-
opens, and that he may probably resign
from the Commission. We will not insinu-
ate that the change will be involuntary

preach and lecture and the students at
Cornell will stand it, because they cannot

ice for the recall of his associated selec-
