SOUND SENTIMENT.

= One of the men who have been filling an
unusually large space before the public
eye is the present mayor of Toledo O.
His reelection to his Office was recently
accomplished by so great a majority over
all his opponents as to have attracted
public attention in an unusual degree
Mayor Jones is a reformer Of the reform
ers. He was a Republican in politics. but
the Republican party has repudiated him.
and he has responded to the reputation
by splitting on it and its authors Re-
Gently he was described at a Democratic
gathering as being as good a Democrat
as any one present. So that his case, DO
litically, is-not altogether hopeless.
1t would be hard to vouch for Mayor
Jones party politics, and it might be dan
gerous to assume sponsorship for many
of his schemes of reform. But all the
indications of his career thus far are
that he is a very able and very earnest
man, with the welfare of society and of
the common people very close to his
heart His well known attitude towards
his employes-that of sharing with them
the surplus of profit realized after the
payment Of all expenses, including a
redSOndDle Interest on the capital In
vested-shows that he is not a reformer
on mere abstract principles. Speaking re-
Gently to a favorite proposal of his,
s.Nnyor Jones used this language:
In Glasgow, Scotland, saw neat granite
ironware signs in the parks and play
grounds bearing this inscription: "Citl-
zens. protect your property" This is the
idea that must take possession of our
people-that it is our city, and not merely
a place where we are suffered to remain
by the gracious permission of the mighty
ones who rule us. AS this idea is COM
pretended, as the sense of ownership Is
awakened. the interest will be quickened
and the mans love for his city will be
increased In proportion.
There are few who will quarrel with
Mayor Jones on sentiments like these
Cities are too often regarded by even
their foremost residents as mere abiding
places, In which to make money, or to
raise ones family. There is really but
little sense of responsibility for the good
government of our municipalities among
the more prosperous of our people, while
the average rich man would regard it as
a reflection on his intelligence and free
dom from political influences to be caught
voting at a local election. The chief ,ori-

THE MODERN STATESMAN.

The personal characteristics of great
men always constitute subject of sur
passing interest to the intelligent public.
This is peculiarly true Of the American
public. Such recitals are all the more in
teresting according as they afford indica-
tions of genius on the part Of those to
whom they relate. Our literature fair
ly overflows with personal "reminiscences
of our great men. like Washington, JEFF
fersOn, Franklin. Webster, Lincoln,
Grant, Seward and others.
In contemporary life the same DISPOSE
ton is shown on the part of the reading
public to learn of the personal character
istics and peculiarities Of the great men
of today. 1t is in obedience to this pas
sion. no doubt, that the literary retainers
of the present national administration
have furnished US with such exact de-
tails of the daily lives of such great men
as Senator Hanna, Of Ohio.
One of the administration organs in a
somewhat remarkable article dwells low
ingly and at length on the chief char
acteristics of this great statesman. The
facts which 1t sets forth reveal him to
us in a light which enables us to ap-
preciate the remarkable qualities which
have won for him his greatly merited
prominence in the realms of statesman
ship. They. too, are worthy of recital
1t tells us that he is, first, last and all
the time, a business man; that he break
, fasts at 8. and that to him breakfast is
r the chief meal of the day. Soft-boiled
I eggs, we are assured, are an inVariable
item on the bill of fare He never makes
s speeches, but gets others to do his talk
ing for him. He prefers to be the power
behind the throne. He is undisguisedly
fond of society, and enjoys light operas.
For books he has no great liking. In
the days when he was not quite so busy
he used to read, it is affirmed, quite a
number of light novels. Now he finds
time for nothing but the newspapers.
while travel is a source of rest and re-
creation to him.
These revelations enable us to distin-
guish the coming type OF craftsmanship
which the prevailing conditions in our
public life are developing. and show us
clearly the strange measure of misdi-
rected effort which distinguished the
older school. with its foolish over-fond-
ness for books and its tiresome DISPOSE
ton to indulge in speech-making about
coHSuluIlohS ana thlhgS. How much I'M
necessary and tiresome labor. for in
stance Daniel Webster would have saved
himself if he had got somebody else to
dc his talking for him on that tedious
occasion of his reply to Hayne, and What
f a decided advantage it would have beer
to Hamilton. Madison and the others
had they given their leisure hours tc
the reading of light novels, thus saving
a bored world the need of having such
tiresome productions as the Federalist
forced on its attention.
1t is truly progressive age, this OF
ours, which advances to the forefront in
our national concerns men of such rare
simplicity of nature and unassumine
manners as the power behind the
throne OF our present administration.

PATRIOTISM OF THE De SOTOS

NO RECORD OF ENROLMENT

Major Theodore Townsend, an Off
GER who volunteered in the First De-
aware Regiment at the outbreak Of

Milford Chronicle, one OF the best.
known Republican newspapers Of
lower Delaware, has the following to
say regarding the appointment Of
Ralph De Soto:
There are hundreds or Delawareans
to the manor born, who, at the first
tolling of the tocsin in the last con-
fiict with Spain, hastened to enroll
their names under the grand old Stars
and Stripes that Cuba, the land that
gave De Soto birth, might be redeem
ed by the shedding OF tneir blood and
blessed with that God-given liberty
known only to the citizens OF this
glorious republic. But no record Of
enrolment is disgraced by the cow
ardly name Of Ralph De Soto. No
record bears from him any expires

birth, the liberation Or MS people from
the fretful fetters OF Castillian despots
or the basking Of these people in the
sunshine Of a freedom, IN part made
possible by any heroic or courageous
effort of a De Soto.
