Requiring but three Measures.

Ladies, we beg to call your attention
to our French tailor method of dress
cutting. 1t is absolutely the latest and
best now in use. We take but three
measures and guarantee perfect fit.

pie and accurate, easy to learn and inn
possible to forget. We have just what
the people have been wanting for years,
viz: method that is simple, accurate
and cheap. We urge the necessity of
every lady learning to cut her own
dresses, regardless of present condi-
tions. We claim it an accomplishment.
We will demonstrate the merits of our
method by cutting test Innings free of

without doubt that st. Louis has given
Mckinley from $4,000 to $4,000 plural

Kansas Goes for Bryan.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. At seems prac-
tically certain that Bryan has carried
Kansas by a small majority. Chairman
Briedenthal of the Democratic state
committee claims the state by 10000
Chairman Simpson of the Republican
state committee, however, refuses to
surrender, and declares that complete
returns will show victory for the Re-
publicans. Returns generally indicate
Republican losses.

McKinley's Plurality in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Estimates from
every county In the state give Nc
Kinley an apparent plurality of 1885,
$780, The great size of the ticket made
counting necessarily slow and the esti-
mates in many counties are undoubt-
eddy below the actual Republican plu-
ralities. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the official returns will show
a plurality for Mckinley of nearly ESQ.,
000 The legislature is almost entirely
Republican, the Democratic represen-
tatives not exceeding 10 per cent. In
membership in the lower house of 2O4.

MARYLAND for Mckinley.

Baltimore, Nov. 4.-McKinley has
carried Maryland by at least $4,000 ma
jority. And from present prospects 1t
looks as If Chairman Wellington was
not extravagant in his estimate when
he claimed the state for the Repub-
lican ticket by $4,000. He now names
5000 as the possible limit. The indi-
cations also are that Maryland will
send a solid Republican delegation to
the next house of representatives.

Clough May Lose in Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Nov. 4.-Estimates on
thirty-four out of eighty-one counties
in Minnesota give Mckinley a major
ity of 13,405 over Bryan. Clough for
governor is II, 900 behind this. AS many
counties to be heard from are fusion
strongholds Clough may yet lose to
Lind.
Chairman Bixby claims Clough's
election by IL 900 and the electoral vote
for Mckinley by 10000. Congressman
Towne claims his own election to con-
gress in the Duluth district.

California for Mckinley.

San Francisco. Nov. 4.-California
has joined the east in the Mckinley
landslide and its majority for the Re-
publican standard bearer will pass s..
900 at least. Many of the counties
have not yet sent in returns, but the
more populous and those in which the
fate of the Republicans hinged, have
all been heard from, and swell the Re-
publican majority TO a point where
nothing to come later can possibly dis
turb them.

the Democrats carry one elector in

gers. The protesting citizens propose that

from the Brookland terminus, and. being
picked up by horses at Florida avenue,
thence run to the treasury, thus affordlng

forms. which all tend to reduce the an
noyance while the road is finding a rapid
transit motor that 1t feels justified in put
ting OF the entire length of the road.
Part of the trackage of this system, as at
present handled, is really of no use to the
people. The North Capitol street branch is
a sample. There is a pretense made of OPP
Grating a part of the line, from New York
avenue northward, but the service Is
wretchedly Inadequate. The stretch OF road
on North Capitol street south of New York
avenue is out of use, and has never been OF
service to the people living on the route.
The lexington company has little excuse
for its delay in the matter of serving Its
patrons well ana adequately. 1t was
warned many months in advance that Its
overhead trolley would not be tolera ted,
and It has failed to provide adequate trans
portation facilities to take the place of that
condemned mode of transit. 1t is search

drawn with little regard for the public well

is exceeded by the elevations required for

More ReYcnue Needed.

The abatement Of the war scare and
the rise in the level of the Treasury gold
reserve as a result of bond Sales should
not blind the legislators to the fact that
the government has not enough revenue.
The Treasury returns show a deficit and
there is no certain prospect Of relief or
of a change In conditions that will justify
the Withholding Of aid. 1t is not good
business policy, putting the case mildly, to
depend upon bond issues to supply the
current expenses. Nor is it a good pcliti-
cal policy to let things alone until the next
election in order to give the people a
chance to express their preferences. What
ever the result of the balloting next NO
vember, it will require thirteen months for
the Congress then chosen to get to work,
and a longer time to produce results If
anything is to be done to afford more
revenue to a needy Treasury now is the
time to do it, and it should be done on
national, not partisan, lines.

Warden Leonard is to be congratulated
snd thanked by the people OF the District
for his management of the execution which
took place at the Jail yesterday morning.
He kept his promise to reduce the number
OF spectators to a low point and established
a record for the smallest crowd that ever
witnessed hanging in the District III
modern times. The Star has often pointed
cut the unfortunate tendencies that draw
people TO these revolving exhibitions and
it is highly Sratified that in this case the
warden has given an earnest of his
intention to bring about a change for the
better. To be sure the pressure Cor adj
mission yesterday was not as great as ii
would be in the case of a sensational exc
cutfon or ere that attracted wide notoriety
from the circumstances of the crime Or the
character of the condemned person and
thus the warden's task was easier than
though he were assailed by vide and power
ful influences for cards of admission Yet
he has established & wholesome precedent
that should aid him and his successors in
Office In withstauding the pressure On future
occasions, if there should be such. 1t is
hardly to be expected that crime within
the District will dlop to such a low point
as TO preclude the possibility Of further
capital cases and SO it is justifiable &c an
ucipate that there will be hangings at the
District Jail in the years to come and 1t
would be wise act IL Congress should pass
4 law, suggested by the proceedings Of
yesterday. absolutely limiting the number
OF persons permitted to witness an exc
Cuticn to the smallest number compatible

With the free coinage of silver over
Shelncd by a tremendous majority in the
House, and sustained by a narrow margin
N tie Senate. Congress appears to be in
complete deadlock over the financial ques-
ton. The small majority in favor of silver
coinage in the Senate appears to be quite as
efective to prevent legislation as the great
prepolderauce of opinion against that meas
ure OF finance in the House, and there are
no signs of a weakening Of the silver lines
in the Senate any more than there are in
dicatiols OF a break in the ranks of those
VINO favor sound money in the House. The
deadlock has not operated TO interrupt
the regular course OF business to any great
extent, and the work on the appropriation
bills has gene along with fair rapidity, 50
that a long session is by no means an in
eyitdb!Ety. There was q prospect short
time ago, that the silver party in the Senate
might seek to make capital out of their
strength by lacking free coinage amend
ments upon every measure CT Importance
that they allowed to pass through the upper
house, but all era of wisdom seems to have
daTned since then, and the main result of
their superior strength has thus far
operated only to transform the bond bill
into free coinage measure and to side
track the tariff bill which for the time be-
ms takes the form and sembIance of an act
in behalf of silver at Is TO l. The purpose
OF the silver men TO push this bill through
| the Senate, as well as the bond bill in the
form of free silver legislation, seems to have
been abandoned for the present, and the
country is heartily glad OF the change OF
program. In ether respects the deadlock is
showing but few outward symptoms

for Better Accommodation,

The people of Brookiand and lexington
have good cause for complaint as to the
inadequacy OF the transportation facilities
furnished them by the company occupying
that territory. Their letter to the presi-
dent of the road, published in this ISSUE
contains several practical suggestions that
call attention to the disjointed and incon-
venient system shat now occupies the urban
and suburban sections of the north and east.
Indeed, perusal of this plea is sufficient
TO convince one that the lexington and
Belt lines must first be overhauled. modern
lied. and welded into a compact and sensi-
bic system before they are still further ex-
tended and ramified. At present it is i'm
possible for the citizens Of the suburbs that
arr supposed to be accommodated by these
lines to reach the treasury or any point on
the G street line without making two trans
fers- The company has provided no ac-
commo1ations whatever for the shelter and
comfort of their patrons at the JUNCTION
points, but dumps the passengers off the
cars into the open street. there to wait at
the mercy of the elements for the next car.
The junction at the southern terminus of
the trolley line, at Florida and New York
avenues, is an atrocity. The schedules of
the two lines do not correspond, and there
