the members piled into special train
for New York and assisted the local
bears in Selling short" more shares Of
Central than were in the market. The
commodore finally ''let them out" at
a price many points higher than Cen
tral was when the bears of the year
1903 got through with it the other
day.
The fact is that there is no "Mr.
Vanderbilt" to-day; no leader and
head of the family and manager of
its properties. William X. comes near
est to filling the bill; but he, like his
son and his nephews, Is more fond Of
sport than of work. OF the young
Vanderbilts, one is acting as the anna
teur coachman of Hudson river run;
another is skinning the salient points
of his anatomy by flying tumbles from
automobiles, another trying to get
along without Canfield's gaming house.
Cornelius shows ability and industry,
but by the folly Of his father in cut
ting him Off with small share of the
family fortune he is precluded from
possessing financial weight. while his
tastes run rather to engineering prob
lens. Alfred, the nominal head Of
the house, is merely nice young
man. The Vanderbilt connection Is
the greatest single investing family in
the country, but there is no 'Mr. Van
derbilt," and the Central misses one.
There is Gould; George Gould grows
each year a more prominent figure in
American finance; with the backing Of
the Standard Oil men he is to-day an i'm
posing power in finance.
Nor has that power been decreased by
the way in which the Standard oilers,
unvexed by having any pet new trusts
to protect" have been gathering in
stocks during the recent slumps. They
are already in control in some lines, in
others they are dangerously near con-
trolling. Though Mr.. Rockefeller him
self Is director in few companies, his
influence is great through other directors
who represent him, and that influence
is greater now by a very large difference
than It was at this time last year.

Coohoh "i MS nie''e"' Most OF their lead
ers have spent years in this country,
sometimes dodgiug the prison that in
the old days waited for the political
offender; Michael Davitt found here
not only a refuge but wife.
Cochran will be a fine example for
the old world of the maxim that "the
republic is opportunity" He came to
New York a broth of a boy. and de-
veloped his muscles and lung power by
juggling great boxes and bales Of dry
goods as a store porter for H. B. Claf-
lin. He went into politics in Tammany
Hall, and betimes made himself known
for a certain Mirabeau-like, slowly pas
sionate oratory that strangely thrilled
the boys" There was genuineness in
it.
Cochran studied law. He had power
with juries and judges Power" is the
word he never gained the repute of
close student or a shrewd juggler OF
facts and figures. In memorable in
stance he was as a capitalist badly
done" in a financial transaction by
I Mr.. William c. Whitney, who had in
his day been lawyer and politician,
too, corporation counsel Of the city
of New York.
Tammany was great, dumb, mar
! ticulate body, whose mighty limbs
yearned for a voice Croker saw that
voice in Cochran. But there was more
, than voice. He was not one of those
! lightweight talking machines who WOO
are easily managed by men behind the
scenes. He was-he is-a numbering,
/ heavy-faced man. who rises slowly, be-
! gins to speak with difficulty and rises
to his effects by gradual acceleration.
BY degrees his great voice swells, the
slumbrous fire in his eye is kindled,
( the pathos, the sarcasm, the strength
of his appeal gains upon you.
