what weaver Won.
The surprise of the campaign has been
the strength of the Populist or People's
Candidate, General Weaver. Nevada Was
conceded to Weave; but it was not thought
• that the " fusion " between the Democrats
and the Popedists, which was attempted by
the leaders in Minnesota, Kansaa,Nebraska,
• 'South Dakota, Oregon and Colorado would
result in much. The returns, however,
show that in three of these States, the
People's candidate has secured the electoral
vote. Two of the States, Kansas and
Nebraska, were among the doubtful, but
Colorado has always gone Republican here-
tofore.
NEW YORE.
Returns from New York indicate that
Cleveland hiss carried the city and county
by 45,000.

ratersois.
A Chicago despatch at midnight says:
The probability is that Cleveland has car-
ried -Illinois, and that Altgeld, the Demo.
crat candidate for Governor, ia elected by
over 15,000 majority. Chicago will give the
Democrat ticket 30,000 majority, and the
balance of Cook county will reduce that to
25,000. At Republican headquarters they
do not claim over 10,000,to 15,000 for Fifer
outside of Cook county.
INDIANA.
The Globe -Democrat concedes Indiana to
Democrats by from 8,000 to10,000plurality.
At the present writing the returns give
Cleveland the electoral votes of the South
-159 in all -36 in New York, 10 in New
Jersey, 6 in Connecticut, 7 in Michigan, 12
• Wisconsin and 24 in Illinois. This is a toted
• of 254. The early returns from Indiana
were favorable to Cleveland, but were in-
sufeeient to justify a conclusion. It is not,
as will be seen, included in the above
estimate. Weaver appears to have 4 votes
in Colorado, 3 in Idaho, 4 in Minnesota, 8
in Nebraska and 3 in North Dakota, or 22
in all. The vote will then stand: Cleve-
land 254, Harrison 168, Weaver 22 -total
444. Cleveland's plurality 86 ; Cleveland's
majority 64.
It is with no undue exultation over a
fallen foe that we regard this result, but
• with profound gratitude that the Amerioan
• people have chosen so wieely and so justly,
• and with firm confidence in the future. The
Republican • organization has suffered • a
crushing defeat and deserved it. The Repub-
• lican party remains with the great body of
• its voters as honest and as devoted to the
best interests of the country as it has ever
been. The powerful machinery of the party,
whioh for at least eight years, has been used
by corrupt and unscrupulous men to serve
the selfish ends of greedy monopolists as
• well as their own, is broken. It oan never
be reconstituted for like uses. The honest
voters who in the past have blindly sup-
ported it are no longer numerous enough to
restore it. • If tbe party is again to be a
controlling force in the Republic it can only
be under the better leadership of better
leaders towards better ende.
The Tribune Doleful.
The Tribune says: The result of the elec-
tion is in doubt at 2 a. m. The returns
' from most of the States are meagre and in-
sufficient to warrant an absolute conclusion,
though there is room to hope that Harrison
and. Rei4 have obtained a majority of the
electoral votes. It is possible the election
of a President may devolve 0/1 the House of
Representatives. Congress is Democratic
by a clear majority of about 50. New York
State is Democratic by not less than 30,000,
and has a Democratic Assembly. New
Jersey has probably gone for Cleveland by
• from 5,000 to 8,000,,but Kean (Republican
claims his election as Governor.
Connecticut is Democratic by a plurality
. of not less than 1,000 on the Presidential
ticket, and has chosen a Democratic: Gov-
ernor and Legielature.
Indiana is claimed by both parties by a
• small plurality. . The Republicans have the
better chance. In Illinois the great Demo-
• cratic majority in Chicago was at first
claimed to carry In the Cleveland electors,
but the Republicans now claim the State.
Wisconsin is confidently claimed by the
Republicans by a aafeplurality and Spooner
is elected Governor. Returns from the far
westand northwest are late and fragmentary,
indicating, howeves, the choioe of flame
People's party electors. 1/lassachueetts has
chosen Harrison eke:tore and probably a
Republic= State ticket, thus dieplacing
Governor Russell. All the rest of New
England is Republican. Whether or tot
the solid South has been broken is still un.
Certain. The Republicanclaim Delaware
by a smell margin and West Virginia with
greeter confidence. Speaking of the result
in New York State, the Tribune

ate Independent Estimate.
It was a Democratic revolution. Cleveland
has carried the country by B, sweeping
majority. The latest returns indicate that
West Virginia is in the Democratic column.
The Democratic landslide extended to the
Assembly, The majority in the Lower
Howe is so large that a Demoorat will ono-
oeed Frank Hiscook in the United States
Senate. Thus for the first time in many
years New York will have two Democretio
Senators in the higher branch of Congress.
Congress has a large Democratio majority
in the Lower House, though not as large as
ID the present House,andthe Demoorats
have made some gains in the Senate,
The South is still solid for the Demo-
ortscy. • The Democratic plan of cam-
paign of tariff reform and "no English
cheap labor" for ite main issue, and deter-
mined opposition against the Force bill and
bayonets at the polls, has been justified by
the returns from all of tlee•States. Even
the rainbow chaser has cause for rejoicing.
Illinois, with its 24 votes, is safely in the
Demooratic column. Indiana may be car-
ried by Harrison, but ib is doubtful. It
demonstrates, however, that the President's
State was not the pivotal, and the Demo-
cratic missionary work in the west has
borne fruit.
New Jersey is, as ever, solid Democratic.
Connecticut for the firat time will give its
electoral vote for Cleveland. In the Elec-
toral College Cleveland and Stevenson
will have no lees than 269 votes.
The Peoples' Party, while not carrying
all of the States claimed, have earned a
sufficient number to give it recognition as a
national party. Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado will surely give their electoral
vote for Weaver.
It is a day of Dernoorsitio rejoioing and
glory.

How the President Tool/ It.
'Throughout the day the President gave
no indication whatever of disappointment or
chagrin at the resultof the election. He
was undoubtedly the calmest person and
observed his customary routine as though
nothing unusual had occurred. As one of
his friends expressed it, "If he is defeated
he will lay down the reins of official Gov-
ernment without the least personal regret
and seek the more congenial seclusion of
private life with undisguised satisfaction."

Niagara Falls is Slick.
" TheNiagara River you will observe,"
said the guide up at the Falls, "rune more
rapidly on the American side than on the
Canadian. This Is natural. It is due to
the larger degree of quickness in vogue in
the United States. If the Falls were en-
tirely in the Dominion of Canada all the
water that is bound for Lake ()Atari° would
never get over the precipice and Lake Erie
would fill up and overflow the country and
there wouldn't be any country."
"Thank heaven then that it's hi the
United States," said the Philadelphian.
"Not by a darned sight," retorted the
guide. "14 you want to fire off any grati-
tude you'd just better be glad it's in New
York State. If the Falb, were in Philadel-
phia they'd be stopping to think all the
time or going to sleep and deluge would
come of it and there wouldn't be any Phila-
delphia."
Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and if
she does not learn it when she is young, sho
never will. It takes a great deal more
neatneee to make a girl look well than it
does to make a boy look passable. Not be-
cause a boy, to start with, is better looking
than a girl, but his clothes; are of a differ-
ent sort, not so many colors in them, and
people don't expect a boy to look as pretty
as a girl. A girl that is not neatly dressed
is called sloven, and no one likes to look at
he; Her boa may be pretty and her eyes
bright, but if there it a spot of dirt on her
cheek and her flOger0' ends are bleak with ink
and her shoes not laced or buttoned op, and
her apron is dirty and her skirt torn, she
cannot be liaised.

officiala do not question the good faith of
the Canadian authorities, but, to show how
mistakes may be made, they inatenoe the
faot that, although the United States Gov-

free from pleuro -pneumonia, five oases of

A. Duchess Set the Style.
Once upon a time, as they say in fairy
tales, a fair duchess would a hunting go,
and in mad gallop after the hound a her
long and beautiful hair escaped its jeweled
neb and golden pins and blew all about in a
great cloud of fair and glistening threads.
Some people there are cynical enough to
say that the duchess dressed her hair lightly
on purpose to provide just this sort of fas-
cinating disaster. Any way, rather than
abandon the ohase, she unbound the long
silken garter from her stocking (that was
before the days of apiral wire and ;side
straps) and, with the blue ribbon, tied up the
refractory tresses, and Bored° on to the hunt
and was in at the death. Now, the duchess
Was a great favorite at this Court, and all
the fine gentlemen went into raptures over
the ooiffare, all the noble ladies oopied it,
and so the mode was made which we are
following BO closely to -day. It was the
real ribbon we wore at firs% twisted about
the head and tied in a little bow with pert
upstanding ends. But that ribbon was
easily dharranged in the whirl of the
dance, BO we invented the cloee imitation
of it in enamel of all the most delicate
tints.
Butthis fashion alas ! was embraced so
ardently as to destroy its popularity. The
cheap shops took up the little caprice and
produced the metal ribbons in most appeel-
ing tints and most groteeque arrangement
So now the ribbons which they of the ele-
gant elect wear are of gold, bent into grace-
ful curves tied in a pretty knot, and blaz-
ing with diamonds or precious stones.
The girl with dusky hair and clear akin
will wear a ribon of blue, like the merry
duchess, but it will be the soft cerulean
blue of the turquoise, set in solid gold.
Ribbons of green in emerald, or red in
rubies, will be seen, too, upon the heads of
fortune's favorites, and the old starry
coronet will find a formidable rival in the
snood of jeweled ribbon. -New York Sun.
" Shall " and "Will."
There is probably no more confusing part
of the English language that that which re-
gulates the proper WM of "shall" and
"
will." The reply ofJames Russell Lowell
to the woman who wrote, saying "1
would be very much obliged for your auto-
graph," has been often in print, and has un-
doubtedly been clipped for scrap and pocket.
book reference by many persons. The poet
essayist granted her request in the follow -
Mg fashion: "Pray, do not say hereafter,
I would be obliged. If you would be
obliged, be obliged and be done wibh it. Say,
I should be obliged, and oblige yours truly,
James Russell Lowell.'" An additional
hint to go with this "cut me out" is that
of the old verse:
• In the first person simply, shall foretells;
• In will a threat or else a promise dwells;
Shall in the second or the thirddoth threat;
Will simply then fortells the future feat,
or, " shall " in the first and " in the
seoond and third persons are to be regarded
asi simple declarations, and both in all other
eases convey a threat.

occasionally very pretty. It is seen some-

of colors are likely to be rather refined than

DEFINITION OF A Dnarger Fiarrius.
"It is quite an event if a coat or jecket
kept in stook fits a customer without altera-
tion," explained a young attendant in one
of the fashionable stores. "Tho woman
whom a ready-made coat, and espeoially a
close -fitting one, fits at once may well take
this as a compliment," she continued.
"And how is that ?" questioned a de-
lighted customer who had just slipped into
a the -trimmed coat, and being assured, both
by the mirror and by the attendant spirib,
that " it fih like a glove."
You He; was the reply, "tbe coats are
made after what is considered a perfect
figure of medium size. Of course if a lady
is too tall or too small, the fact of a coati
not fitting at once does not necessarily
mean that her figure is defective, bat with
a lady of medium height, if a coat fits with-
out alterations it means that her -figure is
good.'
This is interesting and would be more
widely so but for the statement that "ID is
quite an event," oto.
The coat, cloak, cape and jeeket of the
00IlliDg winter are to be lined or trimmed
with fur. • Unless this be so no garment of
this class has any right to call itself fashion-
able. Another sign by which experts de-
tect at once and without difficulty, the
faeleionable coat is the size of the buttons.
If these are somewhat like a oart-wheel in
miniature, the coat has the proper caeliet ;
if they are leas in size than a dollar piece
they are relegated to the category of last
season's goods."
THAT FATAL HEEL 1
There are things fatal to a successful
appearance. Imprimis a red nose. Try to
&nay Venus with her dainty nose a violet
pink. Secondly, a crooked hat or bonnet.
The very consciousness of it makes all the
woman's worst qualities rise in a way
before her mind's eye, injuring her estimate
of herself and abasing her unduly.
Thirdly, ;shabby boots. A charming -
looking woman was walking down Bond
retreet the other day in a rather expensive
dress and a good bonnet, but the heels of
her oboes were worn down, and above each
of them was a space of white, being the
feet seen through holes in the stockings.
These contradicted flatly the passing
impression made by the well -made gown
and the iseab little bonnet. ROW do these
•contradictions come about?
NOVEL EFFECT IN FILOSELLE RIBBON.
• Of the new bonnets few are pretty, and
the new hats are mostly ugly. Both shapes
and trimmings are with few exceptions, un-
becoming. But the redeeming feature is
the coloring.
There could be nothing prettier than
BOIDe of the colored velvets, with a silvery
sheen, which are made into bows, twista
and rosettes on many of the felt hats.
Another exbremely pretty novelty for the
decoration of hats and bonnets is just com-
ing ottb. It is a wide ribbon, which has the
appearance of plaited filoselle silk ; an
oriental pattern is printed on it (the back
ID cream color), but instead of the startling
Eastern plain red and yellow" of former
years, we have the softest and moat delicate
pink; blue; greens and golden browns. On

ribbon mixed with brown velvet.

A splendid cloak in pontifical purple

THE FIVE INCH SHORT SKIRT GUILD.
Some young ladies of Nottingham have
nailed their colors to the mast by having
pledged themselves to wear skirts five inches
off the ground in snowy or muddy weather.
It is an open question if them twenty-one
young ladies have all pretty feet, or if it ie
pure, unadulterated courage that aninustes
them. The reformer spirit h a brave one,
every one knows, but then mud is purely
hateful, and neat ankles were not made to
• be hidden. Are they going to weargaiters ! i
There are many points on which nforma-
tion is desired in connection with these
intrepid twenty-one. They muate at least,
be rich enough to be able to afford a con-
stant supply of new boots, for, to para-
phrase Tennyson : "There is no maiden
now,
hoveever fair, that is not fairer in new
boots than old."
An Unrecogatzed Facto;.
A wide-awake young New England min-
ister, Rev. Mr. Galbraith by name, in a
recent sermon, made the following keen
observations:

States have takes backward steps on the
liquor question. We see local &dons sit-
ting to preserve the lives of infantlobsters
and ridiculing measures to preserve boya.
Politicians may safely snub the church, but
they will orawl before the wielder of the
beer mallet. It is an age of commercial
mires; and this is confined to no class.
Ministry and laity, rioh and poor, bards
and bankers are all in the race for money.
It is an age of syndicates;; the interests of
life are ruled by stook gamblers; wages are
getting lower; rents are going higher; the
cost of living is increased; thedistancegrows
greater between the poor end the house of
