D0 you know Lauders, of In
diana : He is a member Of Con-
i gTess, and is to succeed Hendricks
as Governor OF that State. He
is a friend Of the rag baby that
was born during the war, and
which its parents would desert as
they have everything else they ever
| promised to defend.
| That rag baby Is q child born
within the Union.
IL carried many 4 cup Of water
to the dying soldiers,
il FASTENED home with many a
message Co the widow and orphan.
1t barred its bosom to many q
storm Of hail.
It was watched over hy many q
hospital nurse and did many d
chore when money lenders drove
brother and father and son off to
war.
1t never tried to sneak of and
hide IN Belmonts vaults along
with the eowarlly gold dollar.
1t carried the R1g over many a
slaughter field and bore the bIunt
of many a battle when its golden
god father sneaked off to Edrope.
IL carried wheat from the prairie
to the sea coast, and did the work
Of the nation when grown people
were of to war.
1t saved the country I'm its hour
Of peril, and now when the misers
and managers seek to proclaim ie
"a bastard and to leave il to die in
the cutters as they do the poor
soldiers who were luFed from their
homes for nothing, We object and
will have no such desertiOn. The
rag baby with its green apron
That is the fellow.
For several years It has been
good enough tU wait on the Bond
holders brat, and now it shall
come up and take front seat.
Huu, honest voter, come right
along with the child
1t was born under the flag.
1t was bursed ut the heart of
Cnluubia.
Il was sent on errands BY Uncle
Samuel.
1t was christened L,JA Tender
by the Supreme Court.
Il was baptized in the best blood
of the Republic.
Ii was the saviour of this conn
try, and there is high chair for
it to occupy during tue balance Of
the entertainment.
Ii is a rag baby because the
hOw-lagged, blear-eyed Bullion
BondhoI,Iing Belmonss
and other blastera have stolen it
so poor that il has nothing but
rags to wear We are not
OF rags, il they cover an
honest man or child. There are
millions of ragged babies il this
Dur once happy land. From them,
has stolen a proud IN
leritance and legislated them into
bondage. From them somebody
las stolen fathers, home and
lone, save through the rag baby!
Hold up tie child
Its face is cleau
It's legs are Increasing in size!
II is the only legitimate issue of
Uncle Sam and Aunt Columbia,
md we propose to see il at the
read Of the procession. Your gold
lnllar will do for our rug baby to
.ut its teeth on, then your Bond
lolder's brat may take it to Ed-
ope and be blessed. Pomeroy's

| There was n school question
settled in Vermont by the Su-
preme Court few days ago. The
parents of some Catholic children
asked to have them excused froul
a school on a ehurch-dav. The
children stuid away and were ex-
PEELED. The case was carried TO
the Supreme Court, and the action
of the school authorities was sus-
tanned. Thereupon the New York
Observer remarks as follows -
Christian Index
We presume this decision is
good law. But it does not prove
that the action f the School Board
was wise, kind aud expedient. If
the Protestant people OF the town
We're observing a day of prayer.
and parents desired their children
to be excused from attendance nj
school, it would be we'll to give
them the privilege, aud thus graft
fv the parents and prevent evil
feeling, The light interference
with tine classes and studies would
be of no account compared with
the injury resulting from doing
violence To the consciences of such
parents as think il improper Ia
send their children Ia school on
lays set apart for religious SER
