The board of education at Pome-
roy turned out of school a little girl,
because her father declined to pro-
vide drawing books for her. A suit
was instituted against the board for
depriving the child Of the privileges
of the public schools, and the Court
awarded $35 damages, holding that
although the board might prescribe
a course of study, it had no right to
compel the pupil to pursue them
against the wishes of the parents.
Boards of education will please take
notice.

The Same Old Fight.

1t can no longer be said with truth, if it
ever could, that the questions which divide
the two great political parties of the coun-
try are trivial. The action of the Congress
sional majority this session, and the stand
taken by the minority, indicate the issue
upon which the next political campaign will
be fought. That issue is one that most of
us had supposed done away with forever.
1t was believed that the triumph of the Ma
tional authority in the war of the Rebellion
had given the death-blow to Calhounism.
But the old heresy of State Rights in its
broadest and most radical form is again as
serted. Upon that dogma the Democratic
party makes its stand. 1t has been for some
time avowedly in search of an issue. 1t has
found this one, and goes before the people
with it. The supremacy of State over Ma
tional authority is the doctrine it breaches.
This dogma of State sovereignty is confess
sedly the political doctrine on which the
Southern Confederacy was based, and by
which secession was excused or justified'
The South attempted to maintain the dog
ma by force of arms and in that attempt had
the sympathy-though rprudentialreaso
active support was withheld,-of a large
portion of the Northern Democracy. De-
feated on the battlefield the South carries
it's quarrel into the legislature. 1t is sure of
the support of its Northern allies there, for
they do not peril life in the fight,-only self
respect and reputation.
Well, the Republicans welcome the issue.
If the fight must be fought again, the sooner
battle is joined the better. Upon the ques-
ton whether the Federal or the Confederate
idea shall prevail in this government the
Republicans gladly go before the people,
confident that now, as in times past, the
country will sustain them.

THE plight of the Congressional Demo-
Gratis reminds the Tribune of this old story:
''You don't seem to have made much money
by bringing your hogs down here" was the
casual remark of bystander to a specula-
tive agriculturalst, who had driven his hogs
seven miles to town and sold them for pre-
cisely what was offered him before he left
home. ''Well, no. said the agriculturalist
pensively, II hain't made no money, but
then," Frightening up-''you know had
the company of the ID hogs on the way
down.

CAST0RIA

Pitchers CastOPia is especially adapted to
children. When the child has health the mother
can rest. Castoria is vegetable substitute for
nauseous Castor OIL and the deleterious narcotic
Syrups sometimes used. Containing neither min
eral morphine alcohol, it has received the endors
ment of physicians and its sale is constantly and
rapidly increasing. 1t seems to be natures REM
edy for assimiIating the food in the stomach,
causing proper digestion and preventing sour
curd, vomiting, wind-colic and diarrhea. This
gives natural sleep. Castoria is not narcotic.
1t is as pleasant to take honey. 1t relieves the
stomach and destroys 1t allays fever and is
very eficacious for Group. Every mother should
have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria

THE Boston Herald thinks that in the
contest between the Democratic Congress
and the Republican Pre- sident the advant-
age is with the Republicans, because the
jury to decide-the people of the North-do
not feel that there is a real grievance in the
use of the army, and, therefore, do feel that
the Democrats have unnecessarily raised
the issue. For this reason, though the
President might sign the last bill without
danger to the country, his refusal to sign it
will not make any political capital for the
Democrats in the North, where it is most
needed y

Ex-CoNGREssMAN HALE has been inter-

to say, though. l have been at home and
on the wing for the past two months, and
have seen enough to convince me that upon
the issues which the Democrats are making
the Republican party is getting into better
fighting trim than it has been in for years.
The Presidents veto of the army bill was
welcomed by every Republican with whom 1
have talked, and the fact that the party in
the executive and Observation-Disclosures was
pulling together has made a heartier feeling
than l have known since 1872. My judgment
is that the under-current is much stronger
than is generally believed. There will be
deal of hard fighting to do, but am a bad
guesser if the end of the year does not see us
dominant in all contested States in which
elections are to be held in 1879" Mr.. Hale
packed good deal of sense into few words.
