given to the deliverance of the chairman
of the democratic national committee.
There was some murmuring on the part of
the Bryanites in the interior of the state,
but. upon the whole, the state committee,
with Chairman Jones behind It. acted as
If it were altogether confident of its posi-
ton.
The other letter was written. by Mr..
Bryan to Col. William L. Brown, long a
leading light in Tammany Hall, and had
reference, it was understood, to the duty
of Tammany IN the municipal fight. There
was the keenest desire felt to see the let
ter, but Col Brown insisted on treating it
as a private communication. The popular
Judgment was that Mr. Bryan had advised
a straightout declaration by Tammany on
the subject of the Chicago platform, but
Col. Brown would neither deny nor confirm
this.
AS matters now stand, there appears to
be a difference between the attitude of
Chairman Jones and that of Mr.. Bryan
toward the New York democracy Judge
Parker Is standing on practically no plat
form at all. He Is almost suspended as 1t
were, between what the democracy de-
clared for last year and what it NAV de.
clare for in 1900, and Chairman Jones is
quoted as indcrsing that. Judge Van Wyck.
as Tammany's candidate for mayor of
Greater New York, is standing on a plat
form framed expressly to ignore the lead
Ing feature of the Chicago platform, and
Nj. Bryan is believed not to be looking
with any favor On his candidacy What
are the real facts in the case? Did Chair
man Jones consent to a sneak in the state
affair." while Mr.. Fryan has advised against
such course in the city affair?

The Mccall
Bazaar Patterns.

We have made special arrange
ments with the old and reliable
house. The Mccall Company, I44-
Lao West 18th street, New York
city, established since 1870, whereby
we can supply Mccall Bazaar Pat
terms at prices from one-quarter to
half of those now asked for other
patterns on the market.
This contract was not closed
without a through investigation of
the merits of the patterns. We could
not afford to hazard our reputation
tor handling reliable goods by in
Producing an article which we might
find by experience to be inferior in
any way.
The most skilled artists only are
employed in designing. They are in
touch with the latest modes that are
presented in the fashion centers of
Europe in all sorts of outer apparel.
and in these, as also in the more or
binary garments, simplify their de-
signs and methods so that the least
inexperienced can readily understand
them and need not hesitate to under
take the cutting of any desired gar
ment.
Another factor in their favor is
their extremely low price. The pat
terms are now on sale.
r1any of them are 1Oc. each.

A Summary of Dangers.

The grade crossing showing made by
Commissioner Wight in his interesting re-
port On the subject. printed last evening"
presents nothing wholly new in the sum-
mary of the conditions, for it has been
known since the recent accidents at such
crossings that the system of so-called pro-
tection was FAR from being satisfactory or
complete, yet it was advisable that the
precise degree of danger should be official
ly set forth by a competent authority. The
railroad company has given assurances of
a willingness to equip the lines with what
ever safety devices the Commissioners may
suggest, and not only ought this offer to
be accepted, but there should be devised
and put in effective operation regulati lions
that Will require and insure full perform
aIoe by the corporation. The railroad COM
pany In past efforts to avoid the expense
or these safeguards has sought refuge be-
hind the proposition that inasmuch as the
permanent elevation of the tracks is now
| in immediate contemplation there Is little
or no need for the expenditure of consider
able sums of money for safety gates and
watchmen. The community demands a
complete system of protective devices at
all crossings pending the construction of
the proposed viaducts and then the via
ducts themselves. The promise of the lat
ter does not warrant any leniency toward
the corporation in the matter of averting
present dangers. Hence Commissioner
Wights complete inspection of all the
opened streets that cross the tracks at
grade furnishes basis for definite action
without regard to the possibilities of the
near or distant future. These safety gates.
with continuous service in their operation,
would be needed at every point in the Dis
trict where street or road crosses the
tracks at grade even If work on the con-
struction of the long promised viaducts
were already begun. with the prospect of
their completion within a year.
