An act providing for minority repre-
sentation in corporation elections was
ratified by the people of New Hampshire
at the late election by a vote of -, $50 10

inst. II allows stockholders in public
companies to give all the votes to which
they are entitled TO one person in elect
ing officers, or 20 distribute them among
two or more persons, as they prefer. In
this way minority Of the stockholders
can insure themselves representation in
proportion To their interest, by cumuiat-
ing or piling their vote on a small num-
Der Of candidates.

Nevada.
NeM Yolk Tnhnnc.

1t is now Il years since Nevada was
made q state, yet the census Of last year
shows that her population is only O.. .9Gj
AN increase OF less than 10000 since
1870. At this rate Of growth She will
not get the number Of inhabitants now
required in other States for a single
representative in Congress until 1920.
Meanwhile She casts one vote in the
House and two in ihe senate. New
York with 5uS3,l15 inhabitants has 80
votes IN the two Houses of the national
legislature. Each vote has behind it
ll1,13 people. Zach of Nevada's three
votes has behind it only 2U.7j5 people.
The inhabitants of Nevada may there
fore bc said 10 exercise seven times as
much power in the business Of legislat-
ing for the United States as one inhabi-
tnt Of New York. This il curious
anomaly, but there is no remedy for it.

There ls no prospect that the State will

Ayoob Khan.

II is reported from Chamar Chouke
that the ameer's deputy, of Candahar,
was preparing TO defend that city when
the governor fed to Cabul on the 9th
of July. HIS soldiers then mutinied
and prevented him from leaving on the
arrival of Ayoob Khan's lieutenant.
The deputy ktook refuge in a sacred
shrine, but three days later Ayoob
Khan had reached the city; was in
duced to leave the sanctuary, and was
taken before Ayoob, who caused him to
be severely beaten and thrown from
Durbar hall to the pavement below,
breaking in the fall both arms and legs.
This cruelty was committed in return
for the indignities offered the corpse of
a khan. Durams are fiocking into Can
dahar in crowds to salute Ayoob Khan,
In whose honor was fired a salute Of
one hundred guns and the city illumi-
nateds for three nights. The ameer
has received important reinforcements,
and if he can hold Oabul until tie
arrival of a considerable number of
troops from Turkestan, his cause has
some show of success, and he may force
Ayoob Khan to retire into Persia; but
should he loose the projected battle at
Khelahghilzar be will never be able TO
maintain himself, and will have to fly
to Turkestan.

Sailing Mines.

Satisfying investors in western mines
is frequently q rather tedious and diff
ficult undertaking. A Wall street ex-
change states that a local agent of q
Colorado silver mine that had never
honored its stockholders with o divi-
dend, received a call tho other day
from o Long Island farmer, who had
invested several hundred dollars in
stock, and who was anxious for re-
turns. He was a blunt, plain-spoken
man, and he came to tho point at once
by saying:
"All my neighbors tell me that they
believe this mine was salted."
"Werc any of your neighbors ever
out in Colorado" queried the agent.
81 guess not"
"Were you cver out there?"
'sNo, SIR"
"Do you know anything of the cli-
mater"
"No.n
"Then, sill, let me tell you that our
mine was sailed. That's the reason
we get no dividends. We had to send
to Chicago for all our salt, and tho
cost of transportation has been enor-
nous, / forget how many barrels it
took, but the executive officers of our
company are not the men to let a mine
like ours spoil for the want of o few
thousand barrels of salt"
"Then tho salt was to q the
miner"
"Of course, the sudden changes out
there must be guarded against. Hang
on to your stock and have patience"
Eyes, / guess I will, though / did
feel pretty blue Yesterday. We've
got some chaps up u way who think
they know 1t all, but when / go back
and tell 'em that we've got our mine
sailed from top to bottom, and don't

comes whooping along, mebbe they

'em for me to rub it in with the hand,

The dynamite Fiend.

Dynamite Grove arrived in Chicago
Monday and wa very free to talk about
his plans. He claims to be present in
connection with his contract for light
ing the streets of Peoria. He disclaims
any connection with the Palmer house
meeting, and says that the diminishing
fund, of which he vas the originator
several years ago, has been squandered;
1900 was lent to one manager, and he
used 81, 900 in building a torpedo boat,
which wouldn't work, but was a pay
streak for the ring; $4,000 went to es-
tablish an Irish newspaper in the high
lands of Scotland, while the disposition
of the rest was only known to heaven
and the insiders. ~Suspecting this state
of things last year, Grove and some
fellow patriots demanded a reckoning,
which discovered affairs in this mys-
teIiously slack condition.

will call a state convention at Utica on
or about the goth of this month. The
call is not officially published but takes
the form of a private and confidential

Virginia society which preceded tho
American Revolution. Father Ryan Ia
pathetically sung the dirges Of the Lost

Southern society in novels which are
