there may be directors to be elected,

Under this provision minOrities
have the right to be present at
meetings of the directors, to exam
inc books, to know what is being
done in the company, and to be
heard upon any measure proposed.
TWAS argued in opposition to this
plan, when pending before the leg
islature, that minorities in certain
important corporations desired it
for their own defense and for
means of obstruction. This, it is
plain, is but vital reason for the
measure. Business we'll as polit-
iCal minorities have rights that
should be respected. For minor
ity to defend it's rights in courts is
costly, attended with delay, and in
flicts exposure of corporate opera
tons that often seriously effect
business ends. In all parts of the
country the abuse of corporate
power has become a frightful
of financial and industrial difficult
ties. The minorityis conserva-
tive element that often rightfully
obstructs the preparation of
wrong. Therefore the right of
1ninorities to be heard should be
regarded and respected.

Pie Hunters Fall Out.

"Wh ON the Lord loveth he chast-
eneth" seems to be as true of parties
as of men. The so-called populist
convention in the Wieland build
ing, the evening of Jan. Fl, was one
Of those mysterious dispensations
of providence sometimes permitted
to afflict the just, and it should not
therefore, be held against the party.
Every controversy has two sides;
this one, however, has three. Two
of them were championed with
much sound and fury at the So
called convention; the third, gentle
reader, we now lay before you
The writer is member of the city
committee; hence he has right tc.
criticise it, and has so done; he also
voted for convention, hence he
has right to criticise the Wicland
building aggregation, and hereby
so does.
The trouble originated not in the
principles, the purposes, nor with
the rank and file of the org aniza-
ton; it sprung from the cussedness
of poor human nature, and found
it's opportunity in the oft-marked
tendency of honesty and inexperi-
ence to dwell together under the
same hat.
The difference between the
leaders of the two factions is that
both wanted the prestige of the or

that not only had it no authority to
speak for Duluth populists, but
that any action by it other than to
adjourn, or to arrange for a truly
gathering, was a
most vicious and presumptuous
usurpati0n?
This thing has gone far
enough. We care not a penny
whether Zeke Austin and J. H.
Baker or F. L. Young and w. D.
Gordon have the best of it in the
clash of their personal ambitions.
The principles of the party are all
important, and it is time that the
populists of Duluth emancipated
themselves from SYSTEM Of mani
pulation as arrogant and as un-
patriotic as has ever dominated
the councils of their republican
opponents: Time and again: in
populist committee meetings we
have heard so-called leaders de-
clare against reposing confidence
in the rank and file. It required
years of fighting, with Indifferent
success until the primary election
law came, to obtain open caucuses
not that the self-assumed bosses
feared, as they claimed, that men
not populists might come in. and
vote, but because they wanted an
unfair opportunity to pack. the
primaries on their own account. The
conventions of the last campaign
were the first truly representative
ones ever held by the party in Du-
luth. It is characteristic of. the
party boss to fear the people-to
shrink from an exercise of power
by the voters themselves. The
committee had no right to pass up"
the campaign. That is a peroga-
tive belon ging only to party con-
ventions.
But if the committee on the one
side usurped power that only a
convention had moral right to ex-
ercise, on the other side, the gentle
men who essayed to call the COM
mitteemen down., concocted
packed convention when, if they
had wanted it, they mighthave had
one fully representative.
So, we say, both sides were wrong:
And where lies the remedy? The
schemers are not the responsible
ones. tits as natural for some men
to be crooked as for hog to drink
swill, or wild cats to eat chickens.
Perhaps they are no more to be
blame either. The party voter is the

as black, but no blacker than the
kettle: The suppression of party
expression is crime; but not less
so is it's misstatement. Is it denied
that both sides equally are guilty?
Herein is presumptive proof:
l. The committee was not called
together until the last day, under
the law, for calling a convention
so there could be no recOnsidera-
ton Of it's action.
2. The alleged convention was
called to meet within two
days of the expiration of the time
for filing nominations-so that
there could not be an adjourn
ment to get a fair expression and
give the party voters a decent
chance to be heard.
Were it desired to condemn the
committee for it's action there was
only one possible method, if such
condemnation were to have the
force of party authority: To have
called meeting and given public:
notice in time for it's thorough adj
vertisment.
This was not DONE The public
announcement came within a few
hours of the meeting time, so late
that unless the readers eyes hap
pened on the obscure item first on
his taking up the paper, he had by
no possibility time to attend. The
promoters claim they sent out 60
written notices. What was that for
mass meeting of a party men,
bership of three or four thousand?
Not received until the afternoon
before the convention, what oppor-
tunity was given by these notices
for the gentlemen thus favored to
consult with fellow populists in
their respective precincts? Stating
no object for the meeting how were
the so-called delegates to inform
themselves upon the questions they
were to decide?
Thus called, it is not surprising
that the convention was packed,
that the chairman was biased or
incompetent, that parliamentary
usages were trodden under foot,
that no motion. could be heard
that came from beyond the inner
circle of frOthing partisans,. and
that, if the will of the majority pre-
vailed, it was because of the inter-
position Of some mysterious provi-
dence rather than because of fair
discussion or an intelligent ex-

of the Cuban question in congress has
BEEN materially lessened. The leading
operators who have taken hold of the
share market on the~bu side are sup
ported in their attitude by the increasing
activity in bonds and tn largle invest
ment demand at advancing figures, the
movement having now extended from
high grade securities to the second-class
of railway mortgages. Large increases
in railroad earnings continue to be one
of the chief factors in the situation and
rumors are currsn regarding the pay
ment of dividends or their increase by
a number of companies. Early in the
week the street had one disappointment
in regard to am extra dividend on sugar
stock which was not declared. The gen.
eral market however,. manifested a dis
position Ito cut loose from sugar and
was indeed somewhat inclined to disre-
