By Lights and Shadows.


Up a rickety fight of steps on the
west side, kept in continual tire NOR by
the pulsations of huge engine in the
basement beneath, is room of modest
appointments. Bending over one of
the benches in it may be seen almost
any day a man of 20 years. Time,
which has laid the frost Of age upon
his head. seems to have kindled afresh
the sparkle in his clear, steady eyes.
The windows of the room look out upon
busy thoroughfare. Against one of
these hangs a plate of ground glass =
little more than foot square. Across
this plate it fastened horizontally bar
of ebony ree.eighths of an inch wide.
Standing twenty or more feet from the
plate, the old man lays gun barrel
upon convenient rest in such way
that its aim is directly at the ebony
bar. STOPPING, he looks through the
barrel from the rear. turning it slowly
around and adjusting it from time to
time with extreme care and nicely.
Would you like to take peep?' he
ask, good humoredly.
Putting your eye to the butt you see
two fine lines or shades cast into the
barrel by the ebony bar. Theysjoin at
the further end and gradually diverge.
No break occurs in them-the barrel is
perfect.
Another barrel is laid on the rest and
its position accurately adjusted. Look
ing through it you see the shades cast
by the bar broken at several places
the barrel is crooked and imperfect.
Taking it from the rest the operator
lays it upon huge block of hardwood
and strikes it here heavy blow and
then light one, graduating the force
with great delicacy. Again the sight
is fixed on the bar and an observation
of the shades made, the alternate sight
ing and bammering being repeated un-
til the lines of shade show no break.
After each hammering the barrel is re-
bored. Toward the last almost imper'
ceptible crooks, known as ''kinks," ap'
pear, and as the barrel approaches per-
lection greater and greater skill is
called for in its manipulation. Thus il
is that a gun barrel is Strengthened.

Minnesots's Third Insane Asylum.

The commission appointed to locate
third state asylum terminated their labors
in St. Paul recently by selecting Fergus
Falls Otter Tail county, as the site for
the proposed institution. There were
but four places selected to choose
from-Fergus Falls, Sank Center,
Alexandria and Brainerd. After the ad-
vantages Of each place we're thoroughly
investigated and considered by the board,
unanimously in favor of the place selected.
One member OF the commission, F. s; Chris
tianson Of Rush City, held out to the last
for Alexandria.
The land chosen lies little north OF
Fergus Falls, q small section of it lying in
the city limits. 1t embraces GIG acres
having a frontage of about one mile on the
city. 1t is adjoining the Otter Tail county
poor farm, and embraces what is known
rs the old country poor farm: The entire
tract OF land will cost $31 ,44O, or about
the owners OF property that the sale would
be made on the terms represented.
In selecting Fergus Falls the commission
was largely influenced by the following
considerations: First all asylum at Fer.
gus Falls will . accommodate the north
western part OF the state as we'll as the Red
river valley. Second, the commission re-
garded Fergus Falls as a growing town,
which will in few year hence, become a
large and thriving city. Third, it
is probable that q fourth insane
asylum will be required in a few
years. and the best location for all in.
stitution of the kind 10, according to ex.
perience, near q large city. The nearest
asylum to St. Paul and Minneapolis at
present is 100 miles distant, while these
two cities furnish three-forths OF the in
sane subjects. It is believed by the com
located near the two cities, and hence Fer
gus Falls was thought to be the fttest 10
cation for the present institution. Messrs
Bartlett, Christianson and HAltt were ap

Selection OF Senators.

The New York Times calls attention 10
the evils of the system of choosing United
States senators through the legislature,
pay any attention to the choice of senator
in electing members of the legislature, but
that the candidates for senatorial honors
do exercise an important and evil influence
on state politics, by their scheming to Sc
cure the election of members of the legisla-
ture who will be favorable TO them. After
the election the legislature becomes the
scene of a contest between the rival candi-
dates for senator, who carry on system of
bargaining with promise of office, votes or
cash, and but little secreSy. The prize goes
to the most uuscrupulOus wire -pullers, and
the result is that the Senate of the United
States IS no longer looked upon with the
profound respect TO which its dignity and
power entitle il.
In the recent campaign in this state the
Republicans succeeded in suppressing state
| issues by raising the cry that national is
| would choose a senator. But it was eX.
| pressly intended by the trainers of our con.
stitution that the legislature, and not the
people should choose the senators, the only
duty of the people being to see that this
choice WAS entrusted to men Of high char.
acter.
The Times suggests that the people vote
directly for United States senators, and
the legislature merely ratify their decision
This is what is said to have been done at
the last election in Nebraska, where Sena
tor Van Wyck received the endorsement
of the people, and can confidently demand
his reelection by the legislature, whose Re
publican majority would otherwise be
likely 10 refuse to re.elect him in view OF
his frequent kicking in the party traces.

On them when IL imposed such
tax on individuals. when it left
the law subject to such Interpretation
1t gave the most convincing evidence Of
the carelessness with which its legislation
is manufactured No one who has seen the
process in operation at Harrisburg can be
surprised that the statute book should be
80 contradictory and incomprehensibIe. 1t
is safe to say that not one legislator IN ten
knows what he is voting on in ninety
nine bills out of hundred that are consid-
cred the hundredth bill will he his own
base bantling, introduced to protect some
trivial interest.
The next legislature will need to attack
the tax question under the supreme court
decision, and we hope it will be able to 50
declare its purpose that corporations will
have TO pay at least as much tax as indi-
viduals upon moneys at interest though
we have no confident hope that it will be
able to fully achieve this mastery over the
English language 4; and it may be well for
individuals to band themselves together in
companies of three or more and get out a
charter of incorporation from the court, in
order that they may come under its pro-
lection with their little moneys at interest
when the tax assessor next goes around.
