Ex-Gov. G. G. WAsHBURN recently
stated to an interviewer that any and
all reports of his intention to be can
didate for U. S. Senator, in Howe's
place, are without foundation. His
immense milling and numbering inter
ests at Minneapolis require his pres
ence at that place, and it is altogether
likely that he will remove there at an
early day. Wisconsin could spare
many man much better than it can
the ex-governor. Apropos of Howe's
successor. Washburn out of the way,
and Rublee announcing that, under no
circumstances, will he be a candidate,
the track seems clear for Senator
Howe to be his own successor. Yet,
there's many a Slip" and a years
time may develop many new features
i'm the political field.

The commissioners appointed to as
certain the relative amount of labor
performed by the circuit judges of the
State. and to recommend such changes
as they in their Judgment might deem
desirable, have submitted their report
to the legislature. The most difficult
barrier in the way of any radical
change with which the commissioners
had to contend was the incompetency
of the legislature 10 legislate circuit
Judge out of office, and hence they rec
ommend constitutional amendment
dividing the State into ten judicial cir
cults and requiring the legislature to
provide for the election OF a circuit
Judge in each such judicial circuit to
hold his office for six years, and pro-
viding that the terms of the present
circuit judges of the State shall expire
June 1st, 1880. Pending this proposed
change, Judge Bum, of the Sixth Cir
cult, having resigned, they recon-
mend the consolidation of the Thir-
teenth with the Sixth-to be known as
the Sixth--with such changes of bound
aries as would equalize the work of
judges-the commissioners detailing
such changes; the temporary changes
proposed would annex the counties OF
Eau Claire and Buffalo--now in toe
Thirteenth-to the Eighth. What ac-
ton the legislature viii take upon this
report is at present a mere matter Of
conjecture, but as there are now but
twelve judges tie number of circuits
will doubtless be reduced to that nunl-
Der.

The Madison Democrat is now en-
gagged in calling attention to the ex-
cessive appropriations called for to de-
fray the expenses of the charitable
institutions of this State, and makes
some very pertinent suggestions rela-
tive to the same. We are of the opin-
ion that the cost of maintaining these
institutions is much greater than it
should be for which we can but regard
the several Boards of Trustees of the
same in great measure responsible.
Our legislators will doubtless turn their
attention to this matter and we trust
will be able to work a reform in the
financial management of these institu-
tions few weeks faithful work of
an investigating committee properly
constituted would not be a bad thing
to administer as a panacea.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE PARA
MOUNT OBJECT OF THE PUB
LILO SCHOOL TEACHER
BY IMPERFECT.

Of course the writer views the above
subject from his own standpoint and
is expected to treat it accordingly.
The object of our system of Public
Schools is, primarily to prepare the
youth of the land to become worthy
citizens. Any one reading the history
of the founding of our government,
cannot fail to understand the nature
of the nation which it anticipated.
And if the object of it's founders has
not been attained, the fault has main
ly been in the education of the chill
dren and so the blame naturally rests
with the teacher--whether the natural
guardian and teacher. or whether the
hireling.
1t is no trifling matter to take the
guidance of the mind of a child, to
mould its character and stamp your
own image upon it for eternity. 1t IS
a tremendously serious undertaking
and should be so considered, not only
10y the teacher but by those employ
ing teachers. The end to be gained
has been stated the means are at
hand, namely, the teacher and the
children. And now what manner of
work shall be done2 The principle
obtains through educational as well as
all other matters-to wit: That ca2-
not lie impaired which is not possessed.
Judged by the foregoing standard,
many so-called educators may be
found wanting in essentials and thus
be, of necessity and to begin with, in
competent teachers.

THE death of Charles D. Atwood,
junior editor of the State Journal,
which occurred on Wednesday morn
ing. the 9th inst. calls forth from the
people of Madison universal express
ion of sorrow and the relatives of the
deceased have been the recipients of
touching manifestations of coincidence.
Mr.. Atwood was carefully educated as a
journalist Of which profession he was
a shining ornament, ard was one OF
the leading members of the social cir

that the officer should be secure in his

Indispensable.

The PERUVIAN SYRUP, which is now
popular. deserves its rcnown because il
has proved itself to be indispensable to
all invalids. There is nothing like it TO
bring up the weakened powers of a
man. The stomach, which is compar-
ed TO the "citadel," is at once acted up
on by it. Its powers are renewed, its
work of digestion is promoted, and all
the blessings resulting therefrom are
supplied by its use. Food is assimilated
to the system, and it in turn is strength
ened TO do its normal work. The bust
ness man whose energies have been run
down by over close attention to bust
ness; the professional man suffering
from the same cause; the seeker after
pleasure who has made too heavy drafts
upon his stock of health. are all benefit
ed by its use. In n word, the use of the
PERUVIAN SYRrP is recommended to all
who feel the approach of lassitude and
weakness from whatever cause. Every
druggist keeps it,
