TT may be safe to say that barely
ten per cent of the newspaper read

the name of John Cochran, in this
weeks obituary mention. knew that he
once ran for the office of vice president
of the United States. He was a law
yer a native of New York, man high
~ esteemed and often honored by his
fellow-citizens, and a Union soldier with
a splendid record, but he had a kink
in his political makeup; he couldn't
keep within any political lines.
After winning distinction at Fair Oaks
and Malvern Hill and Antietam, Cen
eral Cochran found himself among the
radical republicans who didn't like the
way Mr. Lincoln had in managing the
war The movement against MIR. Lin
coin. in 1854. was intended originally
for the benefit of Mr.. Chase. There was
mistaken Impotence with Mr.. Lincoln's
methods; there was Also much of polit
icaI resentment and personal ambition.
Secretary Chase was afflicted with
plenty of this latter weakness. and he
permitted his candidacy, in rivalry With
Lincoln. TO be pressed until he realized
how utterly hopeless his case was

own announcement some time prior TO
the nominating convention. the elements
of opposition within the republican
ranks had to go in quest of a candi-

who, having run for president in 1885,
as the first candidate the national re-
publican party ever named, seemed to
believe that. somehow he had a white
house term coming. General Cochran
was named for vice president: these two

pointed delegates. The fight settled

generation. has been General Cochran's
fate; it is noteworthy that he survived
by so many years the men with whom
his name was once associated.

Mr.. Mckinley, but Hanna's promise
was up. Gowdy insisted, and he's in
Paris to-day. With him out of the
way. there is to be return of Indiana
republicans to General Harrison; much
is said about this in middle west
newspapers
Meanwhile, a prediction given out for
the other side in Indiana politics has
attracted an uncommon amount of at
tention. 1t will be remembered that,
last spring, silver being the well~de-
fined issue, the democrats elected
mayor for the city of indianapolis.
Mayor Taggart, of indianapolis, in
recent interview that is widely quoted.
says I'm our state election this year
our platform will be the same as the
democratic national platform of 1896.
The democrats of Indiana are for sill
yer We are also for Bryan. He is
the only candidate for president that
we think about He will be nominated.
The indianapolis delegation will be in
structed for Bryan in 1900. We will
elect Bryan president next time"

Is the Climate Changing ?

w sod Of o "as1 FANS rh IN Hn talk
with a Standard reporter ad-
vanees the theory that the winter
weather of Great Falls has undergone
material alterations. repairs and I'M
provements during recent years. and
that those old-fashioned cold snaps
when the mercury took a run down To
forty degrees below zero will never visit
the city again. For this superior condi-
ton of affairs Mr. Herzog thinks the
community of Great Falls is indebted to
the settlement of the city and its i'm
mediate neighborhood
1t is an old question this. as TO whether
the climate of different parts Of the
world has undergone and is still under
going a change. Divers have been the
theories put forth to account for an ap-
parently increasing mildness during the
winter months. Some people pin their
faith 10 sun spots, some to the gradual
destruction Of the forests. some TO the
hypothesis that the world is tipping
over on its axis, some to this thing and
some to that. That the building up of
city the size of Great Falls has an APP
preciable effect on the weather over its
immediate area Il rather novel propo-
sition: but the Standard, not pretending
to be weather authority. is not pre-
pared to dispute Mr.. Herzog. We can
conceive how a city the magnitude Of
London may slightly modify the tenn
perature within its own limits. but we
should have hesltated to say that Great
Falls, located as it IS in an exposed con-
dition. could generate enough heat 10

STARTLING HOSIERY EFFECTS.
Gay Patterns, Silk Lace and Embroidery
Are Now Being Worn.

Hosiery styles are now all in the di-
rection of gay and startling effects, say
the fashion opponents. Bright-colored
plaid and striped stockings are more in
demand than they We're last summer,
and that is saying good deal. Many
women cannot wear them, however,
since there is something in the dye,
even though it does not rub off or fade
which irrtates tender feet. Chiropo-
dists say that their business has in
creased fye-fold since tan stockings
and shoes came into fashion, and they
lay it all to the injurious quality of the
dye required to produce the tan
shades. No dealer in stockings asserts
that a tan has been discovered which
will not fade in hosiery.
Even the stockings for evening wear.
which heretofore have been confined al
most entirely to soft shades, are getting
quite gay The newest are made of fine
white or delicately colored silk, and are
embellished with perpendicular lace
stripes. Between the stripes are gar
lands of finely embroidered silk flowers
in contrasting colorS. Every woman
knows 1fary well that stripes which run
up and down make the waist look slim:
the same thing may be said of ankles,
and, therefore, these new stockings are
popular, for they give trim appear
ance to even a not over-slim ankle.
Then manufacturers have met the need
of women whose case does not require
hosiery that produces slim effect and
have supplied q fine Isle thread stock
ing with lace stripes running around
instead of up and down. Hosiery of
this design comes in black, white and
colors. The woman at the head of the
stocking department of big store said
the other day:
You'd think there wasn't fat wOm-
an in New York from the way the
stockings are going; but all you have to
do to learn your mistake is to go to the
department that sells stockings with
stripes running up and down. Then
you'd conclude that there wasn't thin
woman in the city Funny how par
ticular women are about these details.
isn't it? Especially when so few ride
the bicycle or belong to the Rainy Day
club"

The Broadway Squad.

n SENT time you go down Broad
M way in New York city ana look
at the policemen. you viii think
there are giants in these days. This
week McCullagh the new Tammany
chief of police reorganized the Broad
way squad wedding 1t of all men who
are not six feet tall. or more. All told
he has about four hundred six-footers
number ample for all Broadway pur-
poses. Time was before DIR. Parkhurst
got after the police that the Broadway
squad was similarly organized. The six
footers had their own commander. their
own house, customs. manners and ira
ditions. They looked down on the other
policemen of the city-and how could
they help il? The Parkhurstians
thought it would be a good thing to
break up the siX-footers. and accord
ingly they We're scattered to the four
quarters of the city. Now they are
brought together again, and a day or
two ago the tallest of the finest re-
sumed their slow, stately, measured,
dignified tread up and down the busiest
of American thoroughfares, the objects
Of general admiration if not of awe.
If the members of the Broadway
squad can keep their pride within rea
sonable limits, refrain from working up
a graft like that which disgraced some
of their predecessors. and disabuse their
minds OF the notion that they are the
original and exclusive owners and pro-
prietors OF Broadway, together with all
appurtenances belonging thereto and
property belonging thereon-if they can
do this. the exclusive four hundred can
stay on Broadway as long as they
please. Among mortal men who can
compete in commanding presence With
a majestic, siX-foot, ll-proportioned,
handsomely uniformed strong, stalwart,
jagless policeman? lie is thing of
beauty and comfort and protection
forever, or at least until he goes off
shift Tammany is to be congratulated
on restoring the Broadway squad to its
pristine splendor and magnificence.
Long may they stride, and help us coun-
try jays across Fourteenth street.

Ex-President Harrison's State.

TT is not claimed in any political cir
Gle that eX-President Harrison will
ever appear again as a candidate
for the presidency; indeed. almost
every mention of his name in connee-
tion with politics takes for its preface
the presumption that he has put out of
his life and out OF his mind all amb-
ton for another term 1t is said, how
ever that General Harrison is men
toned in connection with the active
leadership of the Indiana republicans.
This mention prompts the readers of
political news to ask how he ever lost
the leadership in his state and how il
happens that he has not been Indiana s
first republican in all things political
all these years.
II is fact that General Harrison
was pushed aside-Mark Hanna did IL.
1t will be remembered that. early in
1896. there was constant talk about
General Harrison as a receptive" can
didate for the presidency BY that his
friends meant that he would not try
10 secure the pledges Of delegates. he
would not 80 out in rivalry With other
aspirants. but If the nomination hap
pened 10 come his way he would ae-
cept. The prose of it was that Harri-
son wouldn't confess he wanted the
nomination, but that after the other
fellows had eaten one another up. the
republican party could come to Harri-
son and he would say yes"
The play didn't work at all Hanna
really feared Harrison and he resolved
TO crush him early in the game of that
season. With money and promises
Hanna Won over the man Gowdy, who
was chairman or the Indiana state cen
trial committee
Gowdy went ut it with a brutality
that would do credit To Hanna himself
GowdS delivered the goods He hur-
ried the work. he had reason To fear
that when General Harrison organized
the state for himself-as doubtless he
fully intended to-he Gowdy. would not
be a man of first account.
Before Harrison realized il. he had
lost Indiana. Gowdy was sending out
kilograms announcing Mckinley as the
states first choice and getting him
self interviewed so as to advertise the
fact that Harrison certainly was not a
candidate No man was ever more
roughly thrust aside than was General
Harrison by this coarse underline Of
Mark Hanna. The consequence was
that through the Mckinley campaign
the General firmly refused To have any
thing 10 do with the Indiana repub-
lican committee lie was asked 10
make a few speeches in his state He
consented. but he gave publicity To- the
fact thar he rejected the auspices Of
the Gowdy committee.

PAID HER OWN WAY.
Woman Who Went TO Europe Six Time
in Twelve Years


in Twelve Years
A pucky American woman. who be-
gan to support herself at Is, says the
Philadelphia Times, has shown how a
poor school teacher can see Europe to
the best advantage in IL years. Earn
ing a small salary in a public school,
she has taken private pupils and lived
frugally and has been able to go to
Europe every other year for a two
months holiday.
Her first journey was made to Eng
land and Scotland. and was enjoyed so
keenly that she planned another one,
and saved money for IL during the next
two years. The second tour was
through France. Belgium and Holland,
and in order to travel comfortably she
learned French during her leisure
hours.
Returning to her school work she
began to study German. and at the end
of two years was ready for journey
up the Rhine and to Vienna. and
thence through Dresden and Berlin to
Bremen. With renewed ardor she
plunged into the study of Italian, and
at the end of two years she started for
Rome. She made round of the Ital-
ian cities. and spent fortnight in
Switzerland. Two years afterward she
was in Spain, and was able to speak
the language.
During the last year she has made
nef Slxtn journey TO Europe, travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Sweden
to Russia, and spending a fortnight in
Moscow. She carried with her a fair
knowledge of Swedish and not only
knew the Russian alphabet so as to
read the street signs. but could make
her own bargains with drosky drivers
and go about without guide.
In the course of II years she has
made six journeys to Europe and
learned to speak six modern languages,
and she has supported herself entirely
by her earnings as a school teacher,
and has paid every penny of her trav-
cling expenses. Starting with pains
taking study of the language of the
language of the country which she was
to visit. and also preparing herself by
a course in reading, she has made the
best possible use of her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her 30th
year. Her knowledge of foreign Ian
guages has fitted her for broader work
as teacher, and she has left the pub
lie schools to take a position as in
structor in French. German and Italian
in high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved in foreign travel
but the persistency of this American
eirl in carving out her plans is worthy
of praise. 1t is a great gain in any hui
man life. if it is governed by a defined
purpose and keeps that purpose stead
lily in mind
