been consistently pursued in our recent dealings
with the Government of Brazil.
While the past, however, cannot be recalled, its
incidental evils may be easily repaired, and its
mistakes avoided in the future. Now that the
British representative, who is regarded in Brazil
as one main cause of the quarrel, has left, and that
' both Governments have made a clean breast of their
wrongs and grievances, we may hope that past mis-
understandings will be far removed and friendly rela-
tions restored. This is on all accounts most desirable.
The temporary rupture with Brazil has come upon
the commercial as well as the general public as a
complete surprise. Until quite lately it wissgenerally
supposed that our relations with Brazil were moat
satisfactory, and the confidence inspired by this
feeling has very naturally led to a large extension
of our commercial intercourse with that empire.
It is certainly most desirable for the interests of
both countries that this feeling of confidence should
be speedily restored.
