BREACH-0F-PRQMIyE sD1ra

An English Judge, Mr. Baron Brapv.. !,
recently pronounced somewhat e1tr,.f,s..,
opinion, but ono which is characterized b, ..,,
sense. 1n'chArging jury At Meidstor. !,
brsach-of~prornise case, he delivered fer Or,
oral remarks denunclatory Of tho whols cs..;,,
Of breach.of-promise suits, making tzo oh,a>
tions. These we1e stated vary strongly 1n.
withstsnding the risk Of prejudicinz u. mil,

contemplates its enforcement by Inv Ind !,
the second place, uischie7ous, becaqss xh.n !,
engagement is broken of it is generally ren ia,
all concerned that there should be IN sod n, N.
matter. This opinion Of the learned RneE,,
Judge strikes at tho root OF au ancient pz;ry.e.
which is highly priced By tbe gentler ,., =,
pecially in England, whero this clsss Of sn;;, :,
remarkably prevalent. At tho same tina ri,
protest is fairly made against rank iniuatt.
There are but few cases in which thess mil,
afford any protection to the weaker e.,
Affections which can be gauRed It ~
many dollars arc not apt to be injured
by blight; and it is found that, after danares
are secured, they can be planted and fourth in
other quarters with remarkable ease. Thu onIv
compensation in such cases is that thu luct1ess
swain may console himself thst he has e.cap.d
cheaply, and that the ad ddn,rum 10 il compelled
to pay is nothing compared with tho lifelong
damage he might have endured had he fulfilled
his promises. There ara exceptional case5
in which heavy damages are dsse7rsd.
but it IL only . peculiar combination Of oppes.
aive circumstances which can warrant them. In
the great majority OF cases, the damages N
e1orb1taut and the suits uujuat. dishonest I'd
mischievous. While the breach OF promise mH
be made BY either party, one party alone MAJ
hope to get damages. The masculine party ca1
never expect to be successful plaintiN- Il
view Of Ill the facts, the English Judge has usda
q timely and excellent protest.

better than is otered by the private m1o~1Ves.
It is to offer them certainty that THAR offspring
will b. taken care OF, and nourished and pro-
yided for il proper manner Such estanhsn-
ments offer to these mothers care OF the infants
without cost, and it can hardly be imagined that
any woman, no matter ho~ fallen. would not
prefer to have her child properly cared for1atner
than have it starved OF murdered, rs 1t generally
ia in The private establishment The Founding
hospitals and asyluus furnish the means where
by tha most desperate can avoid the crime OF
child-murdor, and, il they wero properly
endowed and furnished With accommoda~
tious so that they could take all the
children offered them, there can be no doubt
that annually tho hundreds Of children who are
now murdered by starvation. or through igno-
rance and neglect, might be saved We arc
aware that there a1e noralists vino object to
founding asy1ums, claiming that they offer in
ducements aud encouragement to crime by
furnishing the means Of avoiding tho conse-
quences. But the prscticM question which has to
be met is, when these children ara born shall
their lives be preserved, or shall they be per-
rnitted to die by starvation or be otherwise mur-
dered7 The experience Of mankind in al
countries and under all circumstances is that
children will be born to unmarried persons and
to persons too poor to take caro- Of them, This
is notorious fact that cannot be got rid Of by
any system Of logic. That fact must be dealt
with, and any plan which will avoid child-mur-
der mrst commend i.self to tho Judgment Of all
humane people.
Auxiliary and equally valuable in the preven-
ticn OF crime are free lying-in hospitals, whe,e
The patients can receive proper medical nd and
proper hurting. These establishments are the
foil to the practice Of abortion. They remove
the temptation OF being murdered In back
room or the Office Of some ignorant brute, who,
for few do1lars, offers to destroy ono human
life and frequently destroys two In such hos
pital tho e1pectant mother hnda refuge, home,
privacy and comfort; her life and the Life Of the
child could be saved; and. while society would
be in no wise harmed, the practice Of child-mur-
would be sensibly reduced by the mems to aYoid
it offered in these establishments

The examination in New York City into the
matter Of baby-farming discloses the most
shocking cruelty and even murder. The pri-
vato lying-ln asylums contract with tho mother
that for q certain sum, she shall DO nursed
through her confinement, and, for smother Ger
tain sum, the Laty shall be taken care Of aud
not heard Of again. These Iying-in establish-
ments are kept mostly by Door people, who fur
nish wretched accommodations. It may be ns-
sumed that their care Of the child means it's
death, and investigation establishes as general
rule that the children perish from actual starya-
ton. Thepre.ense Of having them adopted serves
but to obtain the consent OF the parent that they
be murdered. Poverty and human hailsy are
beset With temptations at every step. First are
the abortionists, whose places OF business arc
open day and night, and who offer to the
unfortunate and the poor . means Of escape
from child-bearing and its consequences. Those
who have the moral courage to reject this al
lurement to crime are then offered private
homes and attendance when sick. with relief
from future care aud responsibility for the
children. The children born in these establish
ments are largely llegitimate. The married
women who resort to them are, as rule, very
poor, and abandon their infants because Of an
inability to take care Of them, and promise
that they wi1l be adopted by rich people" It
sometimes happens that child;ess people, in an
swer to an advertisement, wlll adopt one Of those
waits, but this is too exceptional to change the
general rule th4t the children are abandoned to
death.
The New York Journal Of Commerce suggests
that there is remedy for much Of this child
murder. viz:
First let the regular and proper founding aRyluna
announce their existence more generally. There
vded for the express purpose Of receiving deserted
children. They ars under the patronage Of some Of
the dndeshezrtcd and bes. women, and the pets
of Fashionable and wealthy sodety know by the
brilliant balls and concerts given every winter fox their
benefit. No p1ivlte asyu Of tho rnuEderous variety

It is with feeling OF relief that one reads in
tho local court news: "The motion for ncw
trial in the case OF DR.. EARL, the abortionist,
waa oyerrulod, and be WAS sentenced to one year
in the Penitentiary." The punishment is light
in comparison with the orensc, but considering
the rarity Of any punishment ct all for the crime
for which Earll ~as arrMsned, even Ibis penalty
looks encouraging. The result shows that an
abortionist can. ha convicted and punished.
Taking this Tor = starting point, there Is good
1easoa to hops that this prevalent Ind n,on-

brought suit to recover the S158,75o from the
county. He makes ya1ious allegations touching
| several members Of the then Board Perio1st
holds the Matthews contract, and refuses to re-
lease it, He, it is understood, at first felt that, as
there was failure BY the county to purchase the
Matthews property, that put an end to the con
tract But, ~ Matthews insists that the county
actually made the purchase, and has brought
suit, Periolat holds the contract IS subject to
the decision BY the courts in that case. II the
courts hold that the county did legally purchase
the property OF Matthews. then Periolat will
claim the $4,000, under his contract. Matthews
expresses an uncomplmentary opinion OF Per1o-
lat. Periolat does not hold any better op'piou
Of Matthew'S and, on one occasion, 1t ls sald that
he expressed his contempt by giving Mf.
Matthews sound d1ubbing.
The public have an interest in knowing ~
Was the original purchase from Matthews the
result of corrupt promises Of pecuniary con-
sideration? (2) Was that purchase abandoned
because OF the failure to pay over the brlbos?
(3) Was the purchase OF the Baldwin block, at
an advance of $15, 900, aud with apossible margin
of 5000 to be divided, the result of coErup-
ton? With the aid of this record, and in con-
nection With the exposure made IN TILE TRIBUNE
some weeks ago concerning the 7nodus operdndl
By which the Baldwin lot was sold to the county,
the public Will be the better able to estimate the
value Of the evidence given elsewhere.
1t looks as though the stir about the Matthews
lot WAS intended to divert attention from the
purchase Of the Baldwin lot, which is more Likely
to have been 3 '' job " than the other.

ASTRONOMICAL.

The planets Jupiter and Venus viii be IN con
junction on Wednesday evening ne1t, At which
time Venus will be only IS minutes OF arp south
from Jupiter, the distance between tho tHo BE-
ing little lesa than twice the apparent diameter
Of the full uoon- Their distance from the sun
in right ascension. at that time. will be hou1s
36 minutes but, owing to the fact that thar arc
farther south than the sun, they will set only
hour 40 minutes after him. Hence they IRE
scarcely visible out OF the twilight. Astronomi-
cally, the conjunction Is Of 10 great importance
but it will afford an opportunity Of making 4
direct comparison Of their albedo, or rejecting
power. Venus appears to the naked eye ~
much the largest Of the two but her apparent
diameter is only 1631 seconds, while th,t OF Ju-
liter il 901< seconds. The reason for this apps"
rent contradiction is fornd in the greater brill
iancy OF the smaller planet
Venus will attain her greatest eloog.sion from
tho sun on Sept. %, mud hsr greatest br1liaao7
on Nov. 2. On Dec. abe will pass directly be-
tween the earth and sun, bu: At time Eben tho
Sun il below our horizon The transit viii onl1

The diameter Of Venus is 1850 mi1es that &
