The United s.a,.s and Enuland.

The contingency of war with England,
growing out of various questions at issue
between the two countries, is being dis
cussed by the leading public journals, in
tone which indicates that tie gravity of
such contest is not much appreciated by
those who talk oft most fippantly. Even
veteran statesmen sometimes seem to ass
sume that England would betbeoniy loser
pby collision with the United States. y
The Hon. X. j. Walker, in letter on the
annexation of Alaska and St. Thomas, ex-
presses the opinion that all future wars in
which we may be concerned must be main
ly hnaratihe ! wars not meanipg theFeby
conflicts Of single vessels, or even Of fleets,
upon the ocean, but the capture Of mer-
chant vessels at sea- the destruction Of
the commerce of the enemy, and the blocg4
ade Of their ports. He then refers to the
commerce. Of England III imports and cx1
ports, including what she carries for other
countries, which reaches nearly ten billions
of dollars year, and says" destroy this
trade and England falls forever - . We do
not see the practical value of any Of these
speeulatiohs.' That the House Of Repre-
scntatives does not anticipate a rupture
very soon with England NJ shown by the
large looping off of the naval estimates for
the present year. There are no questions
open between the two countries which cam
not be settled by little common sense and
a conciliatory spirit, which will be greatly
promoted by the consciousness Of each gov
ernment that the differences between them
are less likely to receive satisfactory So
htion by war than by sany other method
of adjustment. The issues upon which we
went to war with England in 1912 remain
open to this day, notwithstanding our na-
val Victories and the serious losses to her
commerce which she suffered from our pri-
vateers. We ought to remember that we
too have some commerce to be injured,
and that there will be injuries ITO endure
as well as TO infict. There can be no rea-
sonable apprehensions that the two nations,
both Of whom are SO vitality Interested in
the continuance of mutual friendly relal
tions, and who have, besides, enough on
their hands to PRESERVE domestic TRANQUILITY,
are going to embark in war. In this cbfll
neetioh II lis gratifying to know that the
new British minister, Mr. Thornton, who
has just arrived in our country, Is said to
have the tact and experience and the agree
able personal qualities which will facilitate
his efforts for AN amicable adjustment of
the difficahies between England and the
United States .''ia % eiyai i'fs i-1. .u hHs

to designate the Caucasian and African
