Dun's Review.
The complete success of the gov
e.nment loan and the replenishment
of the gold reserve have not percep-
tibly affected business, nor prevents
ed an advance of foreign exchange
near the exporting point. AS Janu-
ary interest has soon to be met, and
the operations of the syndicate are
thoughtly likely to prevent much
selling of the bonds to foreigners,
some exports Of gold are not improb.
able. Meanwhile domestic trade and
industry haye not been little infuenc.
ed by the heavy defalcation in one
bank and minor disorders in two
others, nor by the failure of the Erie
Railway to meet interest on it's bonds.
The closing of sugar refneries will
diminish the industrial force more
than it is increased by the resump-
tion of the Bethlehem Steel Works
and few other concerns. The con-
trolling facts is that, although in two
instances wages have been increased
the earnings of the working force
and it's purchasing power are not on
the whole enlarging at present, and
prices of the chief farm products do
not materially improve.

'reat Judicial Contest.
Scranton Republican.


The Republic.n publishes this
morning the contents of the papers
filed in the Office of Attorney General
.Henscl at Harrisburg, setting forth
The petition and complaint OF the
contestant in the judicial contest in
Wyoming and Sullivan counties in
which John a. Sittser, the present
incumbent and defeated Democratic
candidate, seeks to establish his right
IAN Office TO when Edward VI. Dun
BAN, Republican, was returned elect
ed by a majority oftwenty nine votes.
There is little in the complaint, how
ever, us the careful reader will OBJ
serve, on which Mr.. Sittser or his
friends can base q reasonable hope of
being able to subvert, what on the
face of the election returns, seems
Ike the fairly expressed will of n
majority Of the voters in the district.
Such specific allegations of fraud as
have been made appear to be design
Cd in the hope, likely to prove for
lorn, that by some turn OF fortune, a
contest may possibly result in the
discovery of sufficient number of
illegal votes cast for Mr.. Durham to
give the office of Judge to the claims
ant, aud not from any absolute knowl-
edge that there has been fraud per-
petrated This is poor foundation
On which to begin proceedings, as
the result is just as likely TO decrease
the sum total of the vote counted
for the contestant, as it is that re-
corded for Mr.. Durham.

that Judge Sittser has lent his sane

To the Editor of the EVENING DISPATCH

To the Editor of the EVENING DISPATCH
Provo, Feb. 3.-In recent issue of
your paper. we note report of the
procet dings at the academy on Thurs
day, February 1st, under the title En-.
j yable Visit. While we appreciate
The interest taken in our school by
The DISPATCH, we feel under oblIga-
tions to suggest that the report re-
ferred to contains several points that
savors strongly of exaggeration, and
some so far from the line of accuracy
as to be misleading. Reference is made
to President Snow and Hon. James
Sharp, members of the board, in such
a way as to infer that they were entire
strangers to the existence of the acad-
envy building and the workings of the
institution. n w, the fact is, both of
these gentlemen have been practically
interested in the academy and some
what acquainted with it, the first
through official reports. and the second
through personal visit. That they
were delighted, and even surprised, at
the attendance during these hard
times, and even the practicability and
progressiveness in the work being done,
is evident from the remarks they
made.
We deem it proper to suggest also
that in the matter OF the academy being
pronounced the ''grandest institution
in all Zion," reference was made to
the attendance, the evident automati-
city of its discipline, and the energy
and in terest in furnishing higher edu-
cation for the masses of Zion's youth,
