BRIZILJ4N EMANCIPA7TON

The slave instruction in the Brazilian Prov
ince of Minas Geraes, few months ago, mas
given, as we anticipated,!a great impulse to the
movement for general emancipation, and the
latest mails from Rio JaneirO bring us the
particulars of a ministerial bill for the gradual
abolition of slavery, introduced into the Cham
Der of Deputies just before the EmperOr's de-
parture. Though not az radical measure as
many of us might desire, it is much better
than any of the partial schemes heretofore
proposed. 1t provides that all children born
after the passing of the act shall be free, save
that they must serve an apprenticeship until
they reach the age of twenty-one. Up to the
age of eight they are to be under the ex-
elusive care of their mothers. Alter that
period the planter may set them Tree AT
any time, receiving from the Government
moderate compensation IN money proportion
ate to the years of apprenticeship that sui
remain due. Minors thus discharged remain
at the disposal of the State, and receive a
share of their accumulated earnings on attain
ing their majority. For the benefit >0t the
present generation of slaves there are several
humane provisions, the most important OF
which are the right to hold anG inherit
property, and the right to purchase their free
dom at any time by the tender OF certain
amount, to be fixed by official valuation. The
slaves and "usufruct slaves" of the Crown are to
be freed at once, and the slaves held by relig-
ious communities to be emancpated at an
early date. A fund is also created for tho
purchase and liberation of number OF slaves
annually With these and sundry lesser pro-
visions of the law, aided by the growing hos
tility to slavery among the Brazilian people
and the increasing frequency of voluntary
emancipation, we may hope that the curse
will soon be removed.
1t is hard to judge of the prospects OF
the bill at this distance, but we think
they must be encouraging. The COnserya-
tives who so long upheld slavery against
the wishes of the Emperor, and in spite
of the opposition of a majority of the
inhabitants, have recently taken new de-
parture, and last year outbid even the Liberal
Ministry in the demand for measure of
emancipation. The Liberals at that time were
accused of nsincerity, and it was no secret
that by diatory proceedings they managed to
defeat a great act of justice which they burst
not openly oppose. They will scarcely venture
in the present case such a defiance alike OF
nuhlic sentiment and their own principles

1t is a wise, just, and welcome thing that
the Board OF Health has done in ordering the
abandonment of the fever nest and nursery or
crime so long unfavorably known TO DOM
health and police officers as CONAN ooul"
For years there have been crowded IN these
two buildings population equal to that OF
many villages and towns in the rural districts
of the State, existing IN the utmost squalor
and wretchedness, never inhalng pure breath
of air. nor seeming sweet smells, Eor seeing
green things growing. The Punishment from
such foul atmosphere and contaminating scenes
will be positive charity enforced upon them
against their wills, but this should not cause
the Health Board to halt in a work which
affects the whole city. Nor should they stop
here; the renovation of other tenement-houses
is as necessary as this one now resolved on /;
and we hope to see thorough cleansing of
these numerous buildings under police super
vision, but at the expense of the owners, not
the public.

OHIO-IOWA.

Enthusiasm for the Republican party, con-
tinued confidence in Republican success, con-
tinued devotion to Republican principles,
support of the Republican Administra-
ton, and caution about any committal
to Republican candidates for other than
State Ofices-these seem to be the
most obvious features of the great and
harmonious conventions held yesterday in
Ohio and Iowa. In Ohio, Gen. Noyes, a
gallant soldier and capital represent
alive of young ReDublicanism, is the
standard bearer,-the name of Ben Wade
having been peremptOrily withdrawn.
Another soldier Col. Carpenter, heads the
Iowa ticket. We are writing without the text
of the Ohio platform, though the speech of
Senator Sherman, made upon it, seems judi
cious, and noticeable as well for what it for
bears to say as for what it says. The resolutions
of the Iowa Convention are about up to the
usual standard of that sort of literature. We
have never been consumed by an affection for
it and we know too well what Iowa RepHb-
lcans really mean, to be confirmed In
our faith in their devotion to their
party by the platform prOtestations OF
party loyalty, or to be shaken in our faith in
their devotion to the principles of wise and
discriminating protection to Home Industry
by the platform generality in favor of reve-
nue. tariff.
Both the tickets yesterday nominated are
sure of election; and we pay no particular
compliment to that of Ohio when we say it is
as sure Notwithstanding the disparity in
late majOrities), as the one for Iowa. Gov.
Hayes was elected in Ohio two years ago,
by majority of 1918 over Geo. ii. Pen
dleton, an UNNECESSARILY stronger candidate
than the weak man put up by the Democrats
now against Gen. NOyes Last year, on the
vote for Secretary of State, the Republican
majority was 1868. In 1862 in Iowa
the Republican Governor had ma
ority of 1915. In 1870, on the
vote for Secretary of State, the Republican
majority was 42,4S9. In both States we look
in 1871 for majorities increasing by yet
larger ratio.

1t is difficult to excite much sympathy for
the engineer hoist by his own petard, or the
Wall-st. stock gambler foiled at his own dark
schemes. On the contrary, there is generally
aroused such a feeling of satisfaction at the
failure of the one rogue of a "bull," that we
forget to condemn the greater and shrewder
bear" who has accomplished his ruin. The
panic in Wall-st yesterday was the result OF
a conspiracy only less extensive than that of
Black Friday" and was precipitated by
treason as base as that of the clique which
planned that disaster by which the street was
made bankrupt The ruin is already wide
spread, and the full effects of the operations
are not yet known. Involved in the ruin OF
the principal operators are many others COM
paratively guiltless, for whom some sympathy
will be felt. But even for these the Oft
repeated lesson of the street has had no
moral and a week or month hence the reck-
less and often INSCRIPTIONS scramble for wealth
will be as wild as ever.

Capt. Mcdonnell in doing this, after his
Sergeants had refused to let her go, was guilty
either of compromising a felony or of ignor-
ance of his duties. Acquit him of the graver
oflense, and he stands clearly convicted of the
other; and ignorance in man holding his
position is a crime against the public. There
are other officers of the police as guilty of
such offenses as Capt. Mcdonnell, and many
