A Lads Trouble on the Highway.

Night before last Charles, fourteen years of
age, son of DIR. Houghton, was on his way to
the East End through Ohio street, when two
men met him near Pogues run and robbed him
of small change and lot of trinkets. Angered
at tho poverty of their tn eft they tied the lads
hands and feet, put handkerchief over his
mouth and threw him into the weeds. Fifteen
minutes later one of the men returned and
asked him how he liked it. Joined soon after by
his companion they took the boy TO bridge,
and tying him to the railing left him. A half
hour afterwara a passer-by relieved young

late The World, along with many other tokens
of its enterprise and prosperity. Great courage
was needed for an undertaking of such magnl-
tude in period of financial depression. Hap
PLY it has not been lacking. Differing on al
most every other question from our Democratic
contemporary, we are we'll pleased to pay this
tribute in recognition of one OF the most
credtable achievements in the history OF
journalism. -,
In the scheme of operations adopted by Ihe
World. three quarters of the sum required has
been virtually raised by popular contributions

list of special subscriptions of $3.50 from 80 to

these terms. We bespeak for our contemporary
in the final stage of its labors generous re-
snonse from THE TRIBUNE's circle of readers.
The Statue is here, the grandest gift ever made

hours every penny required for the Pedestal

remember that we are all Americans, bound by

THE CONVICTION OF BODDENSIEK

THE CONVICTION OF BODDENSIEK.
The convection of Buddensiek will prove
satisfactory to everybody but the builder MN
self and his personal friends. The ways Oh
some iuries are past finding out, as we had SAD
experience not long ago in the case OF Short.
The iurymen before whom the assailant OF
pbelan was tried evidently thought they were
bound to believe every word said on the WI t.
ness-stanl that was not contradicted. They
seemingly took no account of the credibility OF
witnesses. In the Bnddenslek case the
Jurors were of different class anu
in spite of the defendants assertions
and the statements of his witnesses that
he bought only the best of material ana plenty
of it, he was found guilty. This verdict Is an
assurance to the people of New-fOrk that
0imsy buildings cannot be put up in his city
by "rapid" builders with impunlty. Mud
mortar, cheap bricks and poor foundations VIII
not be tolerated. The building examiners, too,
will be spurred to sharper attention to their
duties Aud it is hardly likely that this will be
the only conviction in connection with the iltai
accident of April 13.
The result of this trial is rcassuring from
another point of view. 1t gives US additional
proof that CRIME is not to 60 unpunishcdin New
York. OF the five criminal trials here this year
that have attracted special attention, three have
resulted in verdicts of guilty. The four
eases beside the present one were those OF fish,
Crowley, Short and Schwab. Short, most un-
fortunately, was acquitted partly. IL must be
admitted, through lack Of yigor III tho prose-
cation. The jury that heard the evidence for
and against Schwab disagreed. In the other
three trials convictions were secured. The
BuddeDsiek case was pushed with more than
common rapidity. The builder was indicted
four days after the collapse of his Cheap John
buildings and five days later his trial WAS fixed
for May IL. 1t was not begun, however, until
"A month later but only eight days were oecu-
pied in all. Ths is commendablc progress.
Of course, efforts will be made to obtain
new trial for the convicted builder. They
should not succeed. The penalty for his crime
is from one to litteen years imprisonment, be-
sides fine. Recorder Smyth will not be dis
posed To let him of with a light punishment
On Sergeant Crowley he inflicted seventeen
and half years imprisonment, when the max
imum was twenty years. If Buddensleks SEN
tenco is proportionately heavy. the people VIII
have no reason to complain.

FN4NCIPATION ~ BRAZIL.

The progress of the cause OF human liberty
continues without check III the great Empire OF
Brazil, where the inteli gence and the liDcrallty
of the ruler have already accomplished 80 much
for bis people. Notwithstanding financial
difficulties, which have been aggravated by a
remarkable decrease of revenue during the
past year, the Emperor, in his opening address
to the Legislature, earnestly recommended the
adoption Of measures for the gradual extinction
of slavery as the special OBJECT OF the extraor-
binary session. Emancipation, with the COM
pensation proposed by the Government, will
involve a considerable expenditure and add to
the indebtedness of the Government. But it is
believed by the Emperor and his supporters
that it will increase the prosperity OF the coun-
try, especially by tranquillizing agriculture and
giving increased stimulus to industry, and thus
will secure at no distant day an Increase OF
revenue sufficient To compensate for the outlay
The bill proposed by the majority contem-
plates registration of all slaves under sixty
years of age, with a declaration of value diifer-
ing for different ages. Slaves of sixty and
inward will be considered free, and TO
increase the emancipation fund an addition oil
) per cent on all national taxes except the
export duties will be levied yearly. This is
calculated to yield about 100000 milreis and
bonds are authorized of the sane amount. The
bonds are TO be applied preferably to the liberia
ton of the slaves of planters who will abolish
slavery on their plantations, freeing their
slaves for not over five years service. The bill
also embraces provisions requiring that slaves
reno ved FROM their province, unless when their
owner changes his domicile, become iPs0 Jacto
free. 1t is also provided that freedmen must
remain five years in their county and must have
an occupation, or they may be imprisoned or
sent to military colony For liberations
declared values are to be reduced per cent
every year.
These provisions show sincere determine
ton on the part of the Government to accom-
plish this great work without needless delay, and
with AS much consideration as is possible for
the interests of those who have hithei o
invested their capital mainly III slave labor.
The enlightened policy of the Government
deserves the sympathy of the civilized world
and will doubtless open for Brazil new era OF
greatly increased prosperity.

4 coon MARRIAGE LAW.

The new marriage license law which will
soon 90 into effect in Pennsylvania is a step in
the right direction. 1t says that no person shall
be Joined in marriage without license, and de-
clares that if "a marriage ceremony is performed
where no license has been issued, the minister,
justice or other person who performs the cere-
mony shall pay penalty of 800. The pur-
pose of the law is TO punish persons who per-
form the marriage ceremony where ithc ncccs-
sary re luirements have not been complied with.
a somewhat similar bill was before the New
York Legislature, but failed to pass.
The law makes no change ia the rulings of
the courts as to the validity of informal mar
rages. Unlicensed marriages are not declared
void, but any ceremony where a man recognizes
woman as his wife will be rs binding in
Pennsylvania In the future as in the past. If
that were not SO, ill-informed women would con-
stantly be at the mercy of .adventurers, who
through the cOnnivance Of a third person could
quiet their scruples by pretended marriage
ceremony and bogus license. If such mar
riages were void, the man could discard the
woman whenever he saw tit. Happily. such is
held MOTTO be the effect of the law But its
purpose to punish person who may perform
such a ceremony where proper license has not
been obtained is good one

so stern as TO hold out wholesome warning to the
weak in principle.
But II cannot be made too conspicuous that when
educated, Intelligent men betray their trusts and
enter on careers of fraud and deception. they are
not only not entitled to special sympathy because
of their antecedents but those antecedents aggra-
yate their guilt tenfold. The man who steals to
keep his family from starvation breaks the statute,
certainly but it is not certain that he violates
the moral law. But he who, having all necessaries
and many luxuries, and possessing no possible
excuse in the presence of any dire need deliberately
enters upon q course Of embezzlement, coucealing
his thefts by forgery and msrepresen tation as he
proceeds and maintaining an external appearance
of morality while committing daily the basest
crimes puts himself out of the pale of rational SYM
pathy. and ought. if justice wero administered upon
an intelligent system, to be punished far moro
severely than the poor wretch whose misery and
prvations and the suferings of his dear ones drove
him to break the law For these canting scoundrels
who seek TO blind their feow-men with trayestes
of religious profession, while they are playing the
part of sneak-thieves there can be no safe mercy,
and not until both the public aud the courts
realize and act upon this will the temptations
which in these days so easily overcome people in
iducary positions be resisted successfully. I'm
punished or insufficently punished crime only in
vites further trespass In the same direction.
