THE WHIsKEY SEIZURE IN BROOKLYN
The successful onslaught made by the revenue
officers upon Illicit distilleres in the Fifth
ward of Brooklyn on Tuesday showed a good
deal of pluck on the par. of the officials of that
department., Several times hAfers thsy have
been beaten off by the distillers' mob in this
turbulent locality; but on this occasion they
succeeded in running Off into the cutters
large quantity of the Illicit stuff, and carried
away the machinery to the Navy Yard. 1t is
remarkable that notwithstanding the extent to
which Illicit distillation is carried on and the
resistance which revenue officers meet with,
even to attempted assassination, as in the case
Of Brookes, in Philadelphia, the government Is
still able to show an increase Of twenty or
thirty millions month in the revenue receipts.

Paraguay-views Of Gonerais HlcIIahon and
WOrthingtOn.

WOrthingtOn.
The conflicting news which has been coming
to this country all along relative to the war in
Paraguay and the position and character Of
the belligerents has been most bewildering.
The news by the way of Brazil, or through the
other allied States making war on Paraguay,
has represented Lopez as having been utterly
annihilated then, again, whenever VIC could
get information direct from Paraguay Lopez
has been found active, determined as ever to
defend the independence Of his country, and
the people of that little republic ardcntly
devoted to him and his cause. Even the stale
ments of our own diplomatic agents and Ame-
rican citizens who have been in that part of the
world have been contradictory. Now how
ever, we are getting at something that can be
relied upon. II appears from our Washington
despi u published yesterday that General
Mcmahon, lae United States Minister to Para
quay, and H. G. Worthington, late United
States Minister to the Argentine Republic,
have had an interview with Secretary Fish, and
have explained the situation Of Lopez and the
state Of affa rs at the seat Of war. They dis
agree entirely with Mr.. Washburn in the views
he has put forth, and they are fresh from the
scene of the war. General Mcmahon agrees
with the opinion we have expressed over and
over again, that Brazil is wrong in the war, and
that her object is to absorb the South American
republics on her border. He asserts that
Lopez has been greatly slandered by his enc
mics, or by those who do not know him, and
that the Paraguayan chief even now holds a
strong position. Indeed, General Mcmahon
asserts that the position of Lopez is impregna-
bic, and that if the Brazilians attempt to follow
him up they viii be completely destroyed.
The announcement by the allies that the war
was ended was simply pretext for withdraw
ing the invading troops. 1t appears also from
Mr.. Worthington's statement that Brazil and
her allies have acted in a very nniriendly and
high-handed manner towards the United States
in the matter of obstructing our war vessels,
our Ministers and the official dispatches to and
from our government, and its agents. It is
evident that the conduct and policy of the
United States government relative to the Para
guayan war and our national interests have
been too weak and vacilating. Let us hope
the administration with the facts now before
it, will take decisive measures to make our
flag respected and to sustain republican insti-
tutions in America against the ambition Of
that exotic monarchy, the Brazilian empire.

The Target shooting Institmtion.

~
Some Of the target companies are putting on
character that will make their suppression
necessary to the preservation of good order
This target shooting institution was an out
growth of the Volunteer Fire Department, but
has outlved the department in virtue of its
political affiliations. 1t is now to some extent
part of the machinery for striking" poll
ticians and candidates for all minor Offices
All would-be Aldermen, Assemblymen and
even Congressman must prove themselves
''sound on the goose" by liberal contributions
to the prize list But every parade of these
companies makes an excitement in the streets,
and it seems that organizations of rogues are
taking advantage of this fact. They parade
as target companies, and thus cover the raid
ing of their confederates on the sidewalk upon
the property Of shopkeepers through the length
of whole street. This, of course, must be
stopped but it is not fair to involve in the
odium of such transactions the honest
mechanics who make target excursion their
day of recreation. The whole difficulty may
be gotten over by the police. Let it be
required that all organizations to parade in
the public streets must have permit, such
permits to be refused only to the organizations
OF thieves, all Of which, Of course, are known.

The North Dutch Church.

The fire in Fulton street has perhaps settled
the fate OF one more of our city's menis
by its partial destruction of tho North Dutch
church. Although the part of the walls not
recently torn down is likely little the worse
for the fire, yet the destruction of the tower
and the damage to the interior will afford
the iconoclastic and speculative spirit Of
the time pretext not to be lost for
the dem oition of the ancient edifce. There
will remain, therefore, of the old Dutch
church ediices only the one known as the
Middle Dutch church, now occupied as the
Post Office, building Of respectable anti
putty, having been built in 1928. With the
destruction of the ediGce in William street the
one in Nassau street will, we believe,
be the only church remaining to the city
in which divine service was conducted
in the language of the Knickerbockers,
although the use Of that language in
the Dutch churches here was only finally given
up in the present century. The "Neder-
duytsche Kerke" was organized by the burgh-
ers of New Amsterdam in 1920, and of their
four ancient edifces three have now gone by
fire. The first was burned at the time OF the
''ncgro plot" The South Dutch church was
burned in the great fire Of 1885. They went
out on startling occasions, therefore, and blaze
at memorable points in our history, while the
North Dutch yields to common accident. By
the removal of this church one obstruction to
the opening of wide avenue from the new
Post Office to the Brooklyn ferry will dis
appear. Such street Is Inevitable, Of course,
and must be made sooner or later, and we
hope the consistory will keep this fact in mind
in the construction Of the chapel they are to
erect on part Of the ground occupied by the
old church.

New DISCOVERIES AND SKILLED LABOR
Such accidents as the so-called carbolic acid
explosion in Brooklyn, and the various nitro
glycerine explosions that have scattered
destruction in the streets of several Cities must
eventually enforce upon the directors of new
enterprises tho necessity Of having skilled
labor in all occupations related in any way to
new discoveries. 1t appears that the man who
had charge Of the apparatus in Brooklyn was
ignorant Of the nature of tho forces he was
handling. lie did not know in the first place,
that he had made steam boiler of the tank in
which he was saturating wood with carbolic
acid, and he seems to have been unaware also
that what he called carbolic acid was in fact
fluid in which carbolic acid, a non explosive
body, was present in company with other
bodies capable Of giving off dangerous explo-
sive gases. Such labors should be in the
hands of chemists and engineers who know and
can guide all the possibilities of the occupation.
