NOT WORRIED BY CocKRAvs VIEWS.
HOW HIS ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING BRYAN
AND THE NEXT CAMPAIGN IS VIEWED
u
BY POLITICIANS.

The announcement made yesterday by w. Bourke
Cochran that he would support Mr. Bryan under
certain conditions, that silver should be passed
over issue in the coming campaign and that
imperialism should be the chief question, caused
comparatively little comment in this city yesterday
Among Democratic politicians in the regular organ
ization Mr. Cockran's words did have much
weight. Il IS welr known politicians that be-
tween Richard Croker and Mr.. Cochran there exists
a bitter personal enmity, and that Mr. Croker
would support Mr.. Cochran in any circum-
stances. Therefore the loyal followers OF Mr..
Croker had little TO say about Mr.. Cockrans re-
marks
On the other hand, Mr.. Croker some time ago
announced his CONVEX sion TO Bryan and Organism.
and forced through the State Committee its last
meeting a resolution acknowledging Mr.. Bryan
be the National leader OF the party. Mr. Cockran's
apparent determination 70 support Mr.. Bryan will
in way so Tammany say heal the breach
between himself and Mr.. Croker It simply means.
according to the Wigwamites that Mr.. Cochran
from his point of view. finds Mr.. Bryan the
available leader in the fight against imperial
ISM Mr. Croker from conditions he found
them discovered Mr.. Pryan to be the most availa-
bic candidate support at least for the present.
Republican politicians in the city said that while
Mr.. Cochran made some important speeches in 1895
and aided in the election of President Mckinley he
much personal following in his own party. His ap-
parent determination to give support to Mr.. Bryan
in the campaign OF 1900. IL said. would not
cause alarm to the Republican managers.

THE GOOD WOVEN OF KENTUCKY.
HOW THEY SHOULD BE PERSUADED TO
ABATE THE HIGH HAT NUISANCE.

The dispatch which from Kentucky yester-
day must be a libel the of that State.
1t said that a bill forbidding the wearing Of high
hats in theatres had been passed by the State Sen
ate and that a number of women had arrived in the
lobby just too late TO oppose It. Any opposition to
the high hat nuisance in New-YOrk paper must
be. at this time altruism, for the nuisance
has all but fully abated IN this city; but these
columns will be open for the good of the cause
long as there is a theatre in the world where the
wearing of hats is the custom. They are open for
the defence of women, too.
The women of Kentucky are noted for their
beauty. and II is well known that whatever is
beautiful is also good It is therefore impossible
that the women of Kentucky wish TO infict need
less annoyance. 1t IS also impossible that they
should wish 10 be out OF the fashion, and hats in
theatres are not the fashion. Provinciality is
the only excuse for them anywhere, Neither is II
likely that the women of Kentucky wish to be be-
hind the women of New-York in any good thing.
Now New-York Is proud OF its women in this mat
ter of hats, in all others. No law against hats
was necessary here. The women here found out
that their hats were less interesting than plays
to people who had paid for plays. and not for hats
1t took them good many years TO find it out, but
they did
Then they took their hats off, just out of the
sweetness and beauty Of their natural dispositions
No doubt it a good deal of sacrifice. No
man has ever yet found out why they ever want
ed 10 wear them at all. for the hat was never put
together that was pretty the average wom-
standing Of men they did like to wear them. and
they gave up wearing them-gave IT up just because
II contrary TO every element Of their natures
to do anything that made a single moment Of life
less happy for anybody else. Let no New-York
woman suppose that New-YOrk men are not CRATE
full to them. Whether the grateful to
another they must answer for themselves. II
a law had been made against high hats. probably
they would have been much less willing
That is It! That is what is troubling the
Of Kent XVI Yes Of m Ia
law is wrong. It has not yet passed the Kentucky
House OF Representativ Let II pass
When Il comes up. let some gentleman rise and
say: Down with this Infamous law! 1t IS need
less! Let us say to women We know you
trust you your graciousness and your kind
ness will shine forth, because trust you. and
you will take of your hats Down with this law
We might well make a law that women shall
love their children. Mr. Speaker shall vote No -
That would be the end OF the hat trouble in Ken
lucky. II is hard TO believe. here in New-Yorh
that there any other women good the
New-York women, but the men Of New-York have
logical right to assume that the women OF Ken
lucky are not good.

WANTS BRYAN IN BROOKLYN.
EUGENE V BREWSTER SAYS THERE Is CON
sPIRACY TO DEFEAT HIM FOR THE
NOMINATION.

Eugene V. Brewster, personal friend OF WILL
lam jennings Bryan, and one OF the leaders OF the
Chicago Platform Democracy in Brooklyn, gave out
an interview yesterday. in which he said that he
believed there II conspiracy in that borough 70

on the Democratic ticket. He says that Hugh Nc
LaUghlin is anxious to see either Augustus Van
Wyck or David B. Hill named. and that Arthur
Pue German, OF Maryland, is behind movement
TO defeat Mr.. Bryan in any possible way. Mr..
Brewster said:
have told Mr.. Bryan OF the situation in Kings
County, and have asked him here
the Academy OF Music to speak l hardly think he
will because he does not wish to make more than
one speech in NewYork now. I know, OF course.
that he takes part in local politics, but here
d bit of National politics The situation is really
more alarming than last April, when ne took the
stand he did the dollar dinner. I don't know
whether Mclaughlin wants TO nominate Hill or
Van Wyck for President, but do know that Cor
is behind the National movement TO defeat
Mr. Bryan. Perhaps German wants the nomina-
ton himself

THE PASSING THRONG.

r. G. Anthony, Of Chicago speaking yesterday
at the Waldorf-Astoria OF A. W. McCune OF Salt
Lake City, who may be Senator
HOW MCUNE from Utah. said: ''Mr. McCunes
GOT HIS rise from poverty and obscurity TO
START wealth and power reads like a
fairy tale and IS an epitome Of
the possibilities afforded in this country to any
OF industry and with ability to take advantage OF
the tide in the affairs Of which. when taken
the flood. leads to fortune. Years ago when he
was but mule driver. the Anaconda mine, think
II was, asked bids for the cutting and delivery
OF five hundred thousand cords of wood. McCune
put in bid which far below that OF his com
petors but owing TO his apparent lack Of financial
ability to out the contract they lOath to
accept It Some well known men, however, went
his bond, and the contract finally awarded
10 him. The wood TO be situated the
mountain side, and the motive power used to con-
mule power. and this II was supposed would also
be McCUnes method. The contract made no ref
erence to the date when all the wood should be
delivered but clause provided for the delivery OF
tract signed ana safely in his pocket McCune at
once constructed enormous hume down the
mountain side TO the point Of delivery. into which
when COMPLETED he turned a mountain stream.
Then began the cutting Of the wood and by simply
throwing IL into the chute its immediate delivery
the mine followed. So rapidly and in such
nous quantities did the wood arrive at its destna-
ton that the mine sent him word not TO deliver any
more. McCune replied that the contract called Tor
the delivery OF five hundred thousand cords of wood
at s. cash cord, and that II would be completed
company strictly to the contract. This done,
and the mine settled with McCune, who cleared
for himself and his partners 81 cord, or $500 900,
Of the transaction, and Mr.. McCune's share
which respectable fortune, gave him the
start wherewith to make the great fortune he has
to-day"
