A Number of State Conven tions Held. Illinois Democrats Adopt a Strong: Platform. A Common-Sense View of the Public School Question. Wm. M. Springer Re-nominated for His Ninth Term in Congress—Other Nominations. Associated Press Dispatches. I Springfield, 111.,.Tune 4. —The Demo cratic state convention met at noon. After the appointment of the usual committees it adjourned till 2 p. m. The convention met at 2 o'clock and made the temporary organization per manent. The following nominations were made: State treasurer, Wilson Olney; superintendent of public in struction, Henry Raab, of Belleville; trustees of the State University, Rich ard Morgan, of Livingston, John H. Bryant, of Bureau, and N. W. Graham, of Jackson county. A resolution indorsing John M. Palmer for United States senator was adopted amid great applause. The platform reaffirms the platform of '88 and says : "The admission of fraudu lent senators from Montana and the un seating of representatives duly elected, in order to add greater strength to the Republican majority in congress, are precedents alike dangerous to the safety and perpetuity of the government." The McKinley tariff bill is denounced as a crime and conspiracy against the toilers of America. The Australian ballot system is fa vored. On the much talked of school subject the following is the platform: Resolved, That the Democratic party in convention assembled, heartily in dorses the public school system of the state of Illinois, and it declares that the parental right to direct and control the education of the child should forever re main inviolate, and that the provisions of the law of 188S>, commonly known as the compulsory education statute, im pairing that inalienable right, should be at once repealed. Respecting this sub ject, we adopt the following propositions and hold them to be self-evident truths : First. To determine and direct the education of a child is a natural right of the parent. Second. There arises out of this parental right the duty to provide edu cation. Third. When one who by natural or human law owes a duty to another and fails to perform that duty, the state can (a) enjoin or compel its performance; (b) punish for non-performance; (c) supply the lack where, to the injury of society, non-performance is wrong fully persisted in. Four. Wise statesmanship encourages general popular education, but this does not mean or require unjust or unneces sary interference with those who are educating their children according to the best of their ability, and in con formity to the condition in life of the parent and child. Fifth. Compulsory education in the sense that parents who violate or neglect their parental duty may be compelled to its performance or punished for non-per formance, is not illicit. Sixth. Compulsory education, in the sense of controlling or seeking to con trol, or dislodging from their rightful place those parents who are discharging their parental duties cominensurately with the state of life of the parent and child, is not allowable even to the state. Seventh. For the educat ion of his chil dren one parent may select a public, an other a private or denominational school, still another furnish proper edu cation without the aid of any school, and each of the three in so doing exercises a right protected by the law of the land as well as by the law of nature, and for doing which he need offer neither excuse nor apology. Eighth. Public and private or denomi national schools are in the law neither related, nor are they subordinate one to the other, nor need they be antagonistic. We favor and pledge ourselves to the enactment of statutes: First. To require parents who are not performing their duty in respect to educating their children to do so. Second. To correct incorrigible tru ants by providing means for their amendment; to minimize the evils of truancy by sending truant children to such schools as parents may designate. Third. To prohibit child labor with all its debasing consequences. The platform favors the liberal coin age of silver. Springer Renominated.

Committees were appointed and an ad journment was taken until 2:3U o'clock. Rev. D. C. Kelley, of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, was nomin ated for governor. The platform de nounces the old parties for their friend ship to the liquor interests, denounces the original packages; favors farmers' and workingmen's organizations and is opposed to the right of suffrage to for eign citizens who have been in this country less than ten years. Maine Democrats. Augusta, Me., June 4. —The Demo cratic state convention today adopted a platform reaffirming the principles of the national platform of 1888. Republi can corruption is vigorously denounced, as is alsi the Mcl inley tariff bill.

THE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTA TIVES ADOPT A NEW BILL. It is a Compromise Measure, and Major Mc- Kinley is Its Author—The Bullion Re demption Provision Included. Washington, June 4. —The Republi can representatives went into caucus im mediately upon the adjournment of the house this afternoon, to consider the sil ver (question. It had been announced in advance by the leaders that the real purpose was a conference rather than a caucus. It was suggested that there was no definite proposition before the caucus, so Representative Buchanan submitted a motion that the caucus bill as it stood be re-endorsed, Much, talk followed, and developed a di versity of views. Representative Walker submitted a proposition, which in effect proposed the reference of the bill back to the former caucus committee, with instructions to report a bill which will place gold and silver on a parity by al lowing the issue of certificates to an un limited extent on deposits of either metal, at the market value. Representative Dorsey, oi Nebraska, submitted as a substitute for the caucus bill, a draft of a bill which he proposed to introduce in the house. It provides that any holder of American silver may deposit it in the treasury and receive full legal tender certificates on the basis of the market price of silver; that suf ficient bullion be coined to meet the need of redemption, and that the na tional bank note redemption fund shall be covered into the treasury. Representative Perkins, mono-metal" Ist, in a vigorous speech noted his objec tions to the bullion redemption feature of the caucus bill. Finally McKinley came to the front with a compromise proposition. He proposed that the treasurer shall pur chase four and a half million dollars' j worth of American silver each month; that the certificates in payment therefor shall be of full legal-tender quality, re deemable in lawful money, and silver bullion may be coined to meet the de mand for redemption, and when gold and silver reach par there shall be free coinage. It omits the bullion redemption pro vision of the caucus bill, and was there fore immediately assailed by several members on that account. A vote was taken resulting in its insertion in the McKinley substitute. When the caucus adjourned there was a good deal of confusion in the minds of the members as to whether or not they were bound to support the caucus prop osition. The committee on rules will decide when the bill will' be brought Up in the house. The text of McKinley's substitute reads as follows: Resolved, That it is the sense of this caucus that the Conger bill, as modified by the special committee, should pass the house, with the following amend ments : First. That the amount of silver bul lion to bo purchased monthly shall be $4,500,000 worth. Second. That the bullion redemption feature of the bill shall be stricken out. Third. That the treasury notes shall be legal tender for private and public debts. Fourth. That said notes shall be re deemable in coin. Fifth. That the funds held for the re demption of national bank notes shall be covered into the treasury. Sixth. Free coinage when the ratio of silver is sixteen to one. The second proposition was voted down. The other live were adopted. San Francisco to be Favored. Saratoga, June 4. —The American Home Missionary Society today elected officers for the ensuing year: President, Rev. Julius H. Seelye,of Massachusetts, and among the vice-presidents, Rev. A. J,.

THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1890. RED ROVERS. Armed Apaches Terrorizing Arizona. Mexicans Circulating Sensa tional Rumors. Unfounded Reports of Murder, Pil lage and Arson. The San Carlos Authorities Censured for Allowing Armed Indians to Leave the Reservation. Associated Press Dispatches. I Tucson, Ariz., June 4.—A Mexican brought word here today of the killing of a man and his wife and two children, about five miles from Pantano, yester day. He reports going to the ranch and finding the family murdered and the i house burned. He came to the city to i give the alarm. No further information can be had. The ranch is on the direct trail from the San Carlos Indian reser- j vation to Mexico, in the Rincon moun tains. Tucson, June 4. —Three Mexicans have just come in, saying they were driven into the city by Indians, who attacked them nine miles from Tucson, near the San Miguel mine. They secreted them selves in the rocks and escaped. They fear the Indians have attacked a ranch near there, killing the inmates. Tucson, June 4. —The reported killing by Indians of a man, woman and two children, near Pantano, is unfounded. This afternoon three Mexicans came in from a camp seven miles north of Tuc son and reported Indians near there. A | party of armed citizens hurried to the camp. No Indians were found there. The alarm was caused by a band of j eighteen Indians who were off San Car- I los reservation with passes, hunting and gathering cactus fruit. They have j been seen in the. vicinity of Pantano. north and east of Tucson, several times during the last ten days. They are all armed, and the recent killing of Hardie at Rucker canon has excited ranchers, miners and others. It is believed by some of the stockmen on the San Pedro that Kid and his band are with these bands from the reserva tion, endeavoring to strengthen his forces. A Dangerous Policy. There is much feeling ex pressed against the policy of allowing the Indians to leave the reservation on passes, especially as they are armed, for ranchers, miners and travelers have no means of knowing whether they are hostile or friendly. That there is a band vi them now in the mountains near here is well established by more than a dozen reliable citizens who have seen them many times during the last ten days. A large party of citizens of Tucson, ranchers and stockmen, are organizing to interview the band, who will have to return to the reservation or fight, within the next few hours. The people are, de termined to keep them on their reserva tion, and if found running at large with arms, to treat them as hostiles. ARMED MOLDERS.
