they were the beginnings of great

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION. N.-The
Supreme Court of the United States, in
q case appealed from the Supreme Court
OF Wisconsin, involving the question
whether o State has the right to levy
taxes for the purpose of aiding in the
construction of railroads. expressed the
opinion that railroads are public high
ways. and that it is just as lawful for the
Ssate to impose taxes to aid in their con-
struction as it is for the purpose of
building wagon road or any other pub
lie work. In the judgment of the court,
such tax is not prohibited by that clause
OF the Federal Constitution which pro-
vides that private property shall not be
taken for public use without just COM
pensation. IF railroads arc public high
ways, then they are under the legislative
control of the State, and may be regu-
lated as to their management and freight
and passenger tariffs. in any manner and
to any extent that may be demanded by
the interests OF the public.

A SoUTHnRN SANrrARIUM WANTRp.-


a SoUTHRRN ShNTrARIUM WANTED
Suoh . spring as we have been having is
terribly trying time to the weakly in
our Northern States. Young and old
suffer alike, and many q mourner have
the bleak winds and chilly rains Of
March and April this year made. It Is
surely greatly to be lamented that we
have not yet single Southern santa
rum supplied with such comforts and
luxuries as are to the delicate neces-
sIty. Tantalizing accounts come to
hand OF the pleasures and oonyeniences
OF Nice. Cannes and Mentone. Every
thing to Holaoe soul and body seems to
be at hand in those psradises OF puimo-
nary patients, and both to the sick and
the sound who resort to them, life hp-
pears to glide smoothly on well.oiled
wheels. But change OF climate here,
on the other hand, means merely an
other big town or bowling wilderness,
with beds unacceptable to impression
from the human form, meals which send
o shudder through an invalid's frame,
and doors and windows which have ap-
parently been expressly made for the ad-
mission of draughts. Surely in this land
OF joint stock enterprise, charming
little hotel town, such as Spa, might be
created, say in some bright yet sheltered
nook of Georgia or the Carolinas, to
which O palace car might run through
from the North twice week to carry
those who cannot bear the rigorous
Northern climate. Such spot would,
we believe, rival in popularity Mentone
and Torquay, which now swarm every
year with our countrymen and women;
and many valued life would have q
chance now denied to it, of preservation.
