GET TEE BEsT-This is sound advise,
especially, since we gave tim reference to
medicine, and in order to learn which is
"the best" let merit be the test. The
American market is flooded with all sorts of
vile and dangerous uostrums, and thousands
of human lives are constantly placed in
jeopardy by them. But there are several
really invaluable medicinal preparations
which every f-mily in the land ought to
possess at al times Formost among them
is MISHLER'S HERB BlTTERS, which has
fully established its claim as the most eff
cacious compound extant for purifying the
blood and Graduating diseases arising from
disordered stomach, liver, kidneys, intes-
tines, etc. 1t is used in many hospitals,
asy lumsf dispensatories, PRISONS ETC., and
recommended by lorge number of acknow-
lodged leaders Of the medicalss profession,
and has conquered an immense field solely
on the strength. of what it can and does
do in preventing, brecking and curing dis
eases. Everybody should use it for Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia. Fever aud Ague, and
Bilious complaints generally, Kidney dis

DULUTH.-The dividing line be-
Gwcen Northern Wisconsin and Mime
sofa terminates at the extreme western
point Of Lake Superior. Superior City
is thriving village situated on the
Lake upon the Wisconsin side of the
line. Egorts have long and earnestly
been put forth to have a railroad built
from this point down the St. Croix
Valley, or by some other route to
connect the northegn with the southern
portions of the State, but thus far they
have for some reason all signalIy failed
As consequence our more entcrprisinG
neighbor, seeing the advantages which
would follow from railroad connection
between the more popUlous portions of
the State aad the Lake Superior re-
gion, has authorized and is building a
pad from St. Paul to Du nth, point
SIX miles west of Superior City. This
road is to be completed tie present year
ifpossible, and tho result is that Duluth
IS rapidly assuming the proportions Of a
city, and is destined to become the
center Of trade for north western
Wisconsin as we'll as Minnesota.
The plain fact IS that it has long been
too common among our people to under
estimate the value and Importance of
northern Wisconsin, and all attempts to
aia,f building railroads intothat section
have failed to meet the encouragement
which SIMILAR enterprises in other To-
calitios have received. The people
in that portion, having keenly felt this
Partially, are rapidly losing theirsensc
d state allegiance, and already indicate
that a separation from our State Gov
erGment would be more than agreeable
to them. Would 1t not be well, then,
for our Legislature to devote less atten-
ton one session to puttering with dog
laws aud other like unimportant topics,
and consider those subjects of vital int
rest to the commonwealth which fairly
crowd upon their attention?

slight, as distinguished from those
public benefits or interests incidentally
arising from the employment of bust
ness of private individuals or corpora
tons, will undoubtedly sustain tax.
In thus endeavoring to define how the
public must be benefcially interested
In order to justify the raising of money
by taxation in cases like the present, we,
Of course, do not int d to include ali
the purposes for which money may be
raised. Taxes may be levied and collect
ed for charitable purposes, but these
constitute peculiar ground for the
exercise of the power, which does not
exist here. So claims founded in eoul-
ty and Justice the largest sense and
in gratitude will support tax. Such
claims however, and we think all others
where ta1 ion is proper, except claims
founded in charity, may be referred to
the general principle above spoken of,
ofpublic interest in or benefits received
by the transactions out of which the
claims arose. And these principles will
be found to have been always recog-
nized and acted upon by this court
whenever the question has arisen.

These remarks sufficiently answer
the argument of counsel for the defend
ants when he says that this tax should
be sustained, because special taxation
in the towns and cities where the state
normal schools have been located, is or
has been sustained for the purpose of
raising funds to procure suitable
grounds and to erect proper buildings
for those schools. Conceding such tax
alton to be regular and valid, stll. the
the difference between the two cases is
so marked and plain as to require no eff
fort to distinguish them. The State nor
NAL schools are public, not private
schools, and the grounds, buildings,
fixtures and apparatus belong to the
public and not to private individuals or
corporations. Hence if taxes have been
levied and collected to aid in the con-
struction of buildings or the purchase
of grounds, it was not taxation for mere
ly private purposes as in the case here.
In conclusion, we refer to the Phil
adelphja Association, &c, Us Wood, 80

ing the principles enunciated in this
opinion.

affirmed with costs.
