 He is using every means fair and foul to thwart the will of the people. Evidence of this was truly manifest in the appoint ment of the last electionl com m;ssioners. By the way dear Christian friends who refused to sign the petition, are you aware that these same election commits sioners, judges, etc, will have charge of the extra election II sMch should be called. and voted to submit the question to the people? 1 am sure some do know this for they had something to do with framing the platform, but it may be that many others have not thought of it.

Dun's Weekly Review.

New York, April 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Although confidence in the future is more noticeable than satisfaction with present conditions, yet one by one dis turbing elements are gradually disap- bearing While the tariff Is still under discussion and is checking full activity In industries most concerned vet the reports from most of the cities show their trade to be in a fairly satlsfac- tory state, the centers farthest removed from the industrial are naturally mak- ing the best exhibits. While the iron and steel trade is still in the unsettling process of readjustment yet it makes the best showing, exactly that line the structural-which is sign of build ing activity. It the primary cotton goods market the most interesting fea- ture of the week has been the activity in wide convertibles of print cloth yarn, converters and cutters now showing for the first time a disposition to oper- ate freely while manufacturers as a rule are reluctant to make contracts except at material advance. Buyers of mems wear woolen fabrics are now getting on the road and fewer cancel lations than usual as result of failure to deliver sample pieces In time are reported. There appears to be a de- cfded shortage on spring goods, stocks on hand having been sold at full prices and in some instances commanding premiums. The dress goods division continues to be quiet. More business is reported fin yarn, but prices remain unsatisfactory.
 The noteworthy feature in footwear Is the buying of sole leather by several large manufacturers. indicating that some contracts are being placed. New England salesmen on the road report an improvement in fall orders and as both retail and wholesale stocks are much below normal. renewed activity cannot be long delayed. Sales of do- mestic packer hides for the week have aggregated between 50,000 and 65 000 prices remaining steady with hrAer tendency. The market on country hides is weaker, while foreign hides are firm. prices advancing slightly all around at the monthly auction sales in Paris. In the leather market interest centers in heavy sales of sole leather, made chief ly to domestic buyers, but partly to British operators Buyers of upper, harness and belting stocks operate more freely.

TONE OF BUSINESS
 IS OPTIMISTIC Industrial Reports Still Con- tlnue Very Irregular BUYING IS NOT LIVELY Easter Trade Is Fair In Most Sections and Below Expectations In the
 South-More Confidence
 In Wholesale Lines.
BUYING IS NOT LIVELY

New York, April 9.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Trade, crop and industrial reports are still very irregular, but the underlying tone Of business generally is slightly more optimistic. All present or future favora- ble occurrences, however, cannot disguise the fact that some lines of industry are still very much depressed; that the first crop report of the year, that made by the government of winter wheat. is a poor one, indicating a short crop; that buying is still hampered in some sections by unfavorable weather or by the reduced purchasing power of the public and that caution and conservatism still govern commercial operations to a large degree.
 Easter trade at retail Is classed as fair to good in most parts of the west; fair at the east, but below expectations at the south and rather poor in Texas where drouth conditions hold back buying demand. Some slight expansion is noted in filling-in orders by jobbers. but trade in this line Is distinctively of a between season character. In wholesale lines there are indications of more confidence in buy ing by fall; the cotton yarn markets seem to show signs of improvement, and export trade in cotton is slightly better by classes of product. Womens wear goods seem active, but the automobile paradoxically enough returns one of the best reports of any single industry. In. purely industrial lines the building traders return very good reports. and an enormous volume of work Is planned for the coming spring and summer. The iron and steel, coal and coke trades are all rather depressed. and most activity Is in structural shapes of steel, presumably at the expense of prices.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending with April were 227, against 200 last week. 254 in the like week of 1908; 194 in 1907 161 in 1906, and 1s6 in 1905. Canadian failures number 39, which compares with 23 last week and 2s in the like week of 1908.
 Wheat dncluding fiour) exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending April aggregate LOG, PA bushels, against 1.4135s3 last week and 2,451.099 this week last year. For the for ty-one weeks ending April this year the exports are 14S, S,5S5, ,064 bushels against IT = sos.515 in the corresponding period last year.

Washington, Pa, April 9-The insertion of an advertisement in local paper to- day that there had been found in the collection plate of the Roscoe Methodist Episcopal church. near here, after the services last Sunday night, s1000 bill, developed the fact that the church off cers think the donor made a mistake. The yearly collections of the church do not average much more than this amount and the officials. in the advertisement, say they will return the money to the owner if he wants 1t, and can prove he inadvertently dropped 1t into the plate.
