SO1E DELICATE INSTRUMENTS

DR.. James has received a fropo-
meter from New York for use in his
Office for measuring the relation of
eyes. 1t is an instrument lately in
vented and perfected by DR.. Stevens,
and the one secured by DR.. James is
one of the first twenty-five made.
Hitherto it's work has been imper-
fecty done by testing with prismS,
and probably Mankato has the
only one of these new machines in the
state.
A phorometer has also been re-
ceived from New York by DR.. James,
and is used to diagnose any tendency
to deviation of the eyes from paral-
lelism, on the part of the person be-
ing treated. DR.. James also picked
up few small instruments of value,
and now prides himself on having one
of the best equipped offices in the
state for the specialties which he fol-

THE PASSING YEAR.

Tuesday was the last day of a year
that has had at least it's full share of
ups and downs. 1t has not been such a
year as many hoped for, when it was
ushered in, and yet in many respects
it has not been bad one. The cruel
pinching of 1893 has not presented it,
self, while at the same time it has in
financial way brought profit to few.
The economics instituted and made
necessary by the advent of the hard
times of 1898, have had to be prac-
ticed, with the prospect that such
enforced thrift will have to be fol-
lowed through the coming year. On
the whole, however, we have parted
with years that have left more I'M
pleasant memories, then will 1895.
The year 1895 leaves the world as it
found it, with it's peace broken, When
it was ushered in, war was raging in
the Orient. But the white wings of
peace have settled there, and Japan
in many ways gives evidence of it's
advance in the way of civilization,
while the war has doubtless opened
the way for an advance in China, be-
yond anything of the kind before
known. But such matters work
slowly, and years must elapse before
much progress can be noted. The
closing year finds Cuba in the midst
of a struggle for liberty, with the
chances of success burning more
brightly than at any time in the past.
Other war clouds have at times ap-
peared above the horizon, which for
the passing moment seemed porten-
tious Of evil, but they have almost as
quickly passed away.
In the United States the past year
may be said to have moved forward
the thorough unification of the north
and south to greater degree than
ever before. Politically the old race
line is dying out, and the cry of negro
domination is fast losing the power
which it has for years exercised in
the southern sections of our country.
Other matters are beginning to en-
gross public attention there. This
fact is best illustrated by the exposi-
tion at Atlanta, which has doubtless
done much to promote better feel
ing between the north and the south,
and bring them in closer contact in a
business and social way. 1t has also
been manifested in more emphatic
manner by the patriotic zeal eX-
hibited there in the Venezuela mat
ter. And SO for these reasons this
country will have kindly remem-
brance for 1895.
And so the old year slips from us
with ''some blotches on it's passing
countenance, and some asperities in
it's temper, but our vanishing friend
has taught us some useful lessons and
has inspired us with some noble senti-
ments."

THE Democrats have again demon
strated their incompetency in govern
ment control in the handling of their
opposition to the two emergency bills
before congress. While solidly oppos-
ing these measures, though admitting
that something should be done they
proposed nothing to take their place,
they had not one suggestion of any
value as to'how the situation should
be met, though they had plenty
of chances to put forth their ideas, if
they had any.

Literary.

There is but one collection of the
portraits of Lincoln that pretends to
be complete, and that is the collec-
tion made by the publishers of
McCloae's Magazine. They have been
able to secure either originals or
copies of every photograph, daguer-
reotype, ambroGype, drawing or paint
ing of Lincoln, so far as known, in
existence. There are in this collec-
tion fifty photographs, ambrotypes
and daguerreotypes. The best col
lection of Lincoln heretofore pub
lished in any work contained ten por-
traits. &ee.a
1t is possible that the .NcClure's
collection may be still further in
creased. The entire series of por-
traits will appear in yNcClure's Mag
ozine during the current year. With
the February number twenty of them
will have been printed.

ALL TALK.
The Meeting for Incorporation of
North MankatO.


The adjourned meeting to talk over
the question of whether to incorpor-
ate or not was held in North Manka-
to Monday night, and Alvah Curtis was
chosen chairman and E. V. Perry
secretary. A lengthy discussion fol-
lowed, participated in by large part
of those present, and the arguments in
favor and against Incorporation were
ably presented. The opposition was
based mainly on the ground of pro-
bable increased taxes and liza
bility from damage suits.
Those favoring Incorporation
held that it was time that some
improvements were made. and that
better police protection was given,
especially in view of the fact that
hundreds of laborers will be employ
ed on the railroad next year and some
of them are apt to go over the
bridge ''for time"
A circular was scattered about last
week containing the reasons of those
opposed to Incorporation, and this
was largely discussed.
AS there was no desire to precipi-
tate matters at once, an adjournment
was taken for two weeks.
