States would withdraw her interference with honor
N herself because out Of jealous regard 10 the
right Of weak sister in the family of republics she
had interviewed. If it should. however be disclosed

Of profound peace IL might be almost as difficult 10
Justify the refusal of Lord Salisbury 10 settle a
subtle claim in remote wilderness by the Simple
means Of reference 10 disinterested friends But
intelligent and comprehensive investigation as pro
way in which TO beget the removal OF all cause of
Inference between two nations so bound up TO-
gs;her that they cannot fight where one only wants
what II is entitled to and the other Is ready 10
