1t is obvious that extreme precautions should DE
taken to prevent the contamination of the sources
of the water supply of Brooklyn. But we do not
believe that there is much ground for the reports
recently circulated that the streams which furnish
the water are not in as good condition as they
ought to be. The people who habitually use the
water have seen no reason for complaint, and en-
periments made few years ago showed that the
Ridgewood water was of better quality than that
of most cities in the country. The only trouble
with the Brooklyn water supply now is that there
is danger that there may not be enough of it.

ing condition of things. The city authorities
ought not to consent to let this possibility hang
over the peoples heads any longer.

singular accident, with caamtous results,
occurred on the Reading Railroad late Saturday
night. II some way freight train became
divided by the giving out OF couplings, and
subsequently the two sections came together
with violence. One of the cars was filled with
powder, which exploded. The explosion took
place close to number of houses occupied by
coal miners. These houses were blown to
atoms several of the occupants were killed,
and considerable other damage was caused.
This seems to belong to the category of I'M
preventable accidents, though more careful
management by the brakemen on the detached
section Of the train might have saved the crash

the prospects In the various districts is fur

that will do honor to Newly ork and give this

New-Jersey's first Sunday under the new
niquor law afforded excellent evidence that the
evils Of the liquor traffic can be not only curbed
but suppressed by wise legislation and the
stringent enforcement OF restrictive enact
ments Such Sunday was never known in
the State before. In the large cities the saloons
were closed almost without exception. The
reason for this is that th6avery fact Of selling
liquor on Sunday works forfeiture Of the
license. That section of the law is to be at
tackled in the courts with all the force that
legal acamen can bring to bear. 1t was notice
able that some Of the closed saloons bore the
legend, "Ciosed until the law is changed"

forced closing up in the nearby cities and the

CIVILIZATION BY MURDER.

There comes from Brazil bit Of news which
for the credit of humanity it would be pleasant
not to believe; but the authority on whlcn IL
comes is too good for that and 1T must be received
as authentic. One Joaquin Bueno, acting under
the patronage Of an influential syndicate including
five Provincial Deputies, organized q force Oh
seventy assassins and set out deliberately to en-
terminate the peaceful and friendly Indians OF
Paranapanema. Making attack upon the cher
Indian village, he easily frightened the natives
away He and his acoompces then imprcgnateu
with strychnine all the wells and stores OF pro-
Visions and retired, leaving the village Otherwise
untouched. few days later the assaSslns re-
turned to see the success OF their Trick. FROM
afar they could clouds Of carrion-feedlng pirds
lowering above the place, and on entering the
village they found less than 5000 corpses OIL
the natives lying everywhere about the streets
and houses. Jubilant at this, they proceeded to
another village, where in the same manner they
DESTROYED 500 lives with sublimated mercury.
And when the correspondent who reports these
deeds was mailing his letter to " The London
Times they were arranging for q similar attack
upon a town Of 5000 inhabitants
The perpetrators Of these unspeakable 1nfames
mako no secret of their crime Indeed. they openly
boast OF It as meritorious achievement. Ac-
cording to their code of morals, it is rraiseworthy
TO destroy uncivilzed races, in order that their
lands may be occupied by those who are civilized.
And at this the Brazilian Government apparently
winks, because some high officials are members
Of the syndicate that will profit by the crime
This is Of course, the natural and lifting climax
of the persistent injustice that has been every
where shown to the aborginos by invading colo
nsts The history Of our own dealings with the
North American natives is one that can only be
read with shame; and the cargoes of rum and
cunpowder that are being poured into Africa by
so-called Christian nations arc making the rela-
tions of Christendom to Heathendom universal
scandal.
These wholesale murders in Brazil, rivalling
in every element Of horror the darkest Legends
of Cortez and Pizarro, ought to rouse Dom Pedro
Government, though late, to righteous action,
That Government has long borne the name OF
being crninally careless Of the fate OF its Indian
wards 1t is scarcely to be believed that 1t Will
complacently overlook this latest and most awful
outrage. And every government that has TO zeal
with uncivlized races may learn wholesome les
son from this example Of the natural outcome OF
the idea that the savage has no rights which the
white man is bound to respect
