RESTING THE FEET.
The trouble with a woman's feet Is
that she does not rest them properly.
They spread without any necessity for
spreading. Even society women, who
live like dolls and do no work, suffer
from enlargement of the feet. Al
twenty they wear twos, and at thirty
they wcare threes and at forty they wear
fours. Their feet do not grow and they
dent wear any more sensible shoes

This broadening is swelling from heat

The great Democratic bolt has not cnangeu '"o
situation east of Indiana. But 1t has divided Tue
opposinc force in Kentucky ana the 'e"'ia'
states. while it materially increases the proo.
ability of success in States west OF Iowa ""u
Minnesota .
Tho comnorIson OF these estimates calls at'eh-
tIon arew TO the great strength of the Protec-
two nrIncpc on that issue mainly. Judging ny
tho last congressional and the later State eec-
tions the Republicans had every reason 10 eX-
moo, rho sunport OF all the Northern States east
of rho D.kotas with the better chance in every
s,,te west of Iowa and Minnesota except the
five silver States. This was enough, not only 10
e,oct but 70 give n liberal margin for accidents.
The outrageous conduct of the Chicago 'onvei-
t,on the patriotic protest ard organized resist
ance of National Democrats. and the failure 10
unte the Popocrat and Populist forces on one
ticket. have made much certain which was in
the highest degree probable, and have left very
few States in which Bryan can now be said to be
sure Of success.
In sucb n contest the only danger Is from over
confidence and there Is no sign OF abatement Oh
effort on the part of the experienced Republican
managers nor on the part of the great host OF
workers supporting them. Best of ALL there is no
SYMPTOM of excessive confidence among the he-
publican voters who appear to be growing every

more fully what tremendous consequences Tor

In this campaign the millions are doing the WORK

il is a good sign that there is shown everywhere

ESTIUiTES BY STATES.

The weekly estimates made by Congressman

lar movement for Mckinley while the campaign
for the Presidential nomination was in progress.
were so justified by the results that his forecast
of the election in November. printed yesterday,
will attract attention He names States with
'21S electoral votes or - more than sufficient
ito elect. which are all practically sure for Nc
'Kinley: places in a second list five States with
81 votes which he pronounces almost sure 10
vote for Mckinley; comedies as 'pracically
sure for the opposition six Southern and five
slvermnng States with only 20 votes. and
leaves in the uncertain list five Southern States
with "a votes although he says zone or more are
within the line of possibility. | might almost
say reasonable probability" Beginning with
the sixteen States thus mentioned rs likely 10
vote for Bryan, it may be said that Missouri with
% and Tennessee with Is votes are not so regard
ed by many Of the most active Republicans in
those States Moreover the most capable Re
publicans in ut least two of the silver States cx-
press belief that these will be swept into the Me
Kinley lire by the force Of Protective ccnvic
lions But the fight Is practically over If the
estimate as 10 the two classes Of States called
sure and almost sure is not in error.
The first list Of sure States embraces. ii may
be observed. precisely the States which The
Tribune designated in a map printed some
months ago o. having safe Republican major-
ties over both Democrats and Popullsis together
These were all The Northern States east Of the
Mississippi. with Maryland Delaware and West
Virginia. and with Iowa and Minnesota west OF
the Mississippi. But II was also shown then
that South Dakota and the three Pacific States
were in the hichcs' degree likely TO go the same
way. and the latest estimate now places these
with Kentucky in the list OF sure Mckinley
States. II also names as almost sure Kansas,
Nebraska. North Dakota Wyoming and North
Carolina and these except North Carolina were
months ago considered highly probable because
the Republicans either had clear majorites or
substantial pluralltcs in them, without regard
10 the Democratic split which has since made
any union Of the opposing forces Impossible.

TILE RRITISH AT DONGOLA.

The expectations of a month ago have been
exactly realized Kasr DoDgoa has been capt
ured by the Anglo Egyptian expedition even
more easily than was Suarda al the end OF last
springs campaign. There was sharp night al
Hafr. a town just above the Third Cataract
and between 1t and Argo Island. The beaten
Dervishes retreated toward Dongola, twenty
odd miles away. But the Egyptian gunboa's
got there before them. and found Dongoa prac-
tically deserted by the Mahdist troops. 80 the
place was rccaptured without blow after
more than eleven years. for II was on July D.
1851 that the bafcd desert column" under
General Brackenbury evacuated Dongola ana
abandoned il TO Dcryish sayagery.
As was foreshadowed. too. the natives of
those regions have welcomed the British and
Egyptian troops as their delivercrs from bond
ace. MS indeed they are. The Dervish yoke has
hecn Il heavy one to bear. The deSpotic will Of
tbc Callph Of Omdurman and his l!eulenants-
the worst of them all being the Infamous Wad
R,sbara. who was wounded AT iiafir-has been
the only law Of the land. Neither property nor
life has been safe for Il moment. The ainiaDle,
peoceful. industrious natives have been literally
tbe slaves Of the Dcryishes No wonder they
shouted, sang and danced for Joy at sight OF

further prosecution Of the campaign. Inc OK
petition is now In friendly country anu "
most fertile one. Grain and fodder ana lr"l'S
are abundant. and will be freely supplied py the
natives as the troops move onward.
That they will move on. even to khartoum
itself may bo reckoned certain. 1hat was the
original Intention ana there Is surely no reason
10 abandon il now with progress found 10 DE
much easier than was expected The fact Is,
the Deryishcs are so demoralizcd by their own
vices that there is little martial ability left III
them. The rule Of the Caliph is ana has been
one continuous orgy and that of Nad Bshara
NJ DOngola has been 10 better. Every imag-
nablc form of debauchery has been practised
day and night. ill the physical Strength OF me
warriors has been Slapped and their spirit anu
courage destroyed. There Is no longer tithe
of the valor and zeal that made the repeii'oh
so formidable and so successful fifteen years
ago. There is nothing but the foul. deraylns
shell of the Mahdst power. and at touch IL
will fall in ruin
The next move will be. OF course, to take
Ambukol and KOrti. Whether progress thence
will be BY a short cut across the Bayuda Desert
to Rerber. or TO Abu Klca and Mctenneh, or 10
Khartoum. or by the longer river route, Is not
vet known. But in one way or another 1t VIII
doubtless be made without delay, ana the
speedy end will be the destruction OF the nor
rors of Dervlsh rule and the restoration OF the
Eastern Soudan to civilized control
