The reported death of Lopez, the President
of Paraguay, and his son, is confirmed by
dispatch from Lisbon. The battle in which he
fell, it the report is correct, was bloody one,
several high officers of the Paraguayan army
being killed, and large number of prisoners
taken by the Brazilians, among them the
mother OF the deceased President.
francisco Solano Lopez has been confcunded
with his father, Carlos Antonio Lopez, who
succeeded DR.. Francia, and was President of
Paraguay from 1874 to 1862. The younger
Lopez, who has fought the Brazilians with
such heroic fortitude, became President in
1862. The war which has thus abruptly ter
minated, began about two years after he was
first elected President, and might have been
short, if almost any other man had been at the
head of the Pa-aguayan government; for it
was very much as if Prussia, Sweden and Hol-
land should combine to make war on Den
mark.
The complete success of Brazil would put an
| end to Republican institutions in that part Of
| South America, and give Don Pedro's slave EN-.
pire entire control of the La Plata and its trib.
utaries One Of the lies heretofore told against
come out, that the "triple alliance" to overturr
the government of Uruguay and subjugate
| Paraguay formed in September, 1901, just
| a year before Francisco Solano Lopez was
elected President. The parties to it were
Brazil, the Argentine President, and General
| Flores, fugitive revOlutionist from Uruguay.
| The Uruguayans were easily compelled to sub.
| nit, and their country has ever siuce been a
Brazilian province. Paraguay has been desc
lated, after long and bloody struggle; and
now the Argentines are beginning to FIND
themselves entirely at the mercy of Brazil.
Not much that has happened in Europe late
| ly is SO important to the United States as th
crusade against Paraguay. During the ad
ministration of the elder Lopez the Paraguay
ans made treaties with the United States ant
Great Britain, guaranteeing free navigation Q
the La Plata and its tributaries. This was OF
fensive to the parties to that triple alliance,
aud did more than anything else, perhaps, t
make the Argentines hostile to Lopez. But
if we could be so unwise as to disregard GU
commercial interests in that part Of the cont
nent, we should not have been Indifferent t
the intentions of Portuguese imperialism i
Brazil. We doubt, however, if the real char
acter of the questions at issue has been full
understood in this country. The Brazilians an
| their allies have been the authors of the mos
infamous reports concerning Lopez; but tn
time is coming when we must take pains t
investigate the history of the conflict and az
rive at truthful conclusions, and then perhap
the people will wonder why we have shown s.
little indifference relative to the fate Of th
Paraguayans. and the parties to the contes
will be justly judged.

WHATEVER may be said in favor of the
new system Of employing school teachers by
the School Committee, it leads to some curl
Gus facts when members of the Committee
happen to be school teachers. They can par
eel out the choicest positions not among their
cousins but among themselves, fixing the re-
Enumeration to suit their own taste. An in
stance might be cited in town not thous-
and miles distant where a member of the
School Committee hired himself to teach the
school in certain district not at the request
but in spite of the opposition of those living in
the district. AS members of the School Com

will have to be taken to select those who will
