be at once repealed Respecting
this subject we adopt the following
propositions, and hold them to be self
evident truth.
/. To determine and direct the educa-
ton of the child as right by the parent
2. There arises of this parent right a
duty to pr-vide edcation.
8. One who by natural or humane law
owes duty to another and fails to per-
form that duty that the state can (al en-
join or compel the performance, (b)
punish for on-performance, (c) supply
the lack when the injury of such nom
performance is wrongiully persiste in .
4. Wise craftsmanship encourages
| general popular education, but this does
not mean or require unjust or unnecces-
sary interferences with those who are
| educating their children according
to the best of their ability, to condition
in life or of parent.
8. Compulsory education in the sense
that those who violate the parental duty
be compelled to its performance or pun
| ished for on-performance.
| 6. Compulsory education in the sense
of controlling or seeking to control or
dislodging from their rightful place
those parents who are discharging their
| parental duties commensurate with the
state of life of parent and child is not
allowable even to the state.
z. The public and private and denom-
national scoool in law, neither religion
or law, is subordinate one to the other,
nor need they be antagonistie.. We favor
and pledge ourselves to the enactment of
the statutes; to require parents who are
not performing their duty IN respect
| to educating their children to do so;
TO correct incorrigible truants by pro-
viding means for their attendance, and
to minimize the evils of truancy by send
ing truant children to such schools as the
parents may designate, to prohibit child
labor, with all its debasing oonse-
| quences.
Judge E. s. Wilson of OIney was nom
mated for state treasurer, and Henry
Raeb of BellevIlle superintendent of
public instruction. A resolution in
dorsing Gen. Palmer was passed, amid
applause, and Gen. Palmer was
cheered to the echo, on his
appearance. He delivered q
short speech setting forth his position in
accepting the nomination. There was q
discussion on the silver plank of the plat
form which was finally adopted, favor
ing liberal coinage of silver, and q res
olutlon endorsing Chicago and the
World g fair passed unanimously. The
convention was the largest and most
enthusiastic the Democrats ever held in
the state. The resolutions adopted
begin by reaffirming the Democratic
national platform of 1888 and
follow with this tariff plank:
Realizing that tariff is a tax we insist
now, as heretofore, that such revenue
as is required to honestly and economic
ally administer the government should
be raised from internal revenue,
taxes and duties on articles of luxury,
thus exempting and making cheaper ali
articles needed by the masses of the
people. The platform then denounoes
the admission of the Republican senators
from Montana as fraud, arraigns the
Republican party for not eqnallzlng
state taxes SO as to compel large corpo-
rations and trusts to pay their portion of
the common burdens; demands the aboli-
tiQn of truck stores and insists upon nu-
merous other enactments asked by the
coalminers; favors the eight hour work
Gay, condemns the Mckinley bill as a
crime and conspiracy to impoverish the
masses and enrich manufacturers already
millionaires, and favors the Australian
ballot system.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
RUsK, TEX. June An this county
politics is attracting considerable atten-

ripple here, as the county is too solid for
