The New York Times does not relish the
idea of war with England. It says: eve
concur In the general view of the case pre-
sented by Mr.. Sumner in his recent speech.
But we confess we do not see how, even on
that basis, friendly negotiations are to be
easily opened between the two Govern
ments, for an adjustment of differences.
The tenor and tendency of that speech is
toward war, rather than q peaceful settle
ment. And Senator Chandler's proposition
in the Senate is unquestionably and avow-
edly in that direction. The paramount OBJ
ject in both cases is to compel England to
do what will most humiiate her, in satisfac-
ton of the wrongs she has done u.s. This
cannot be done by negotiation. 1t can only
be done by war; and whenever the attempt
to accomplish it in that way is resolved
upon, we hope the job will be let ont to
Senator Chandler and his constituents.
