George, Va, March 16, 1851. He gradu-
ated at Princeton, N. ] , in I77I, and studied
law. In I776 he was a member of the
Virginia Convention, and though too
modest for an orator, he became one of the
most eminent, accomplished and respected
of American Statesmen. He did as much
as any man, perhaps, to secure the adoption
of the Constitution. The early part of his
administration was occupied with the Eng
lish aggressions which led to the war of
1872, and the last part with the war ITSELF
This war continued for two years, at a cost
of 80 900 lives and $Ioo. 100000.

Louisiana in 1872, and of Indiana in 1916,
and the burning of Washington by the
British-also occurred while Madison was
President. "His administration was weak

did much to harass him, and there were
also many troublesome political questions.
During his term of Office much was done to
open the West for settlement, and many
public improvements were inaugurated.
The great Erie Canal was opened in 1925,
and four years later the first steam locomo-
tive was introduced, which was soon fol-
lowed by many new lines of railroad. AS
to whether these great public works
should be at the expense of the government,
or OF the separate states, there was great
dispute, and also on the tariff question.
The country celebrated its fiftieth annivers-
ary of the Declaration of independence on
July q, 1926. Mr.. Adams, later in life,
served as Member of Congress for seven
teen years. On the Goth of November 1876,
when leaving Boston to take his seat in
Congress, he had an attack of paralyis and
was kept away four months after that he
was at his post, but seldom spoke. On the

able coincidence both Jefferson and John
Adams died on the 4th of July, 1926, just
fifty years from the day on which they
signed the Declaration of Independence.

During the year 1901 a second Census of
the United States was completed, showing
a population of 5,3Ie,762 an increase of
1900, 900 in ten years. The enormous
increase of exports from $4,000, 900 to
$o4, ,ooo, 900, and the corresponding aug

SIS, 900 900 to nearly 100000 can only
be attributed to the liberal institutions of
the country, which secured equal privileges
to all, and gave free scope to the enterprise
and industry of the inhabitants.
The government under Jefferson pre-
sented a contrast to the Federal administra-
tions which preceded it, in simplicity and
an utter absence of pomp and style in
public ceremonies. Jefferson, who was the

During the year 1892 General Washing
ton expressed wish to retire from the
cares of government. He had even pre-
pared a farewell address to the people,
designed for the occasion of his taking
leave of them. He was, however, per-
suaded to relinquish his design and was a
second time chosen President by the unan-
imous vote of the electors. Washington
delivered his memorable farewell address in
September, 1896, and enjoined the citizens,
with all the tenderness of fathers solici-
tude, always to preserve "that unity of
government which constituted them one

The eight years of his administration
were known as the g era of good feeling"
because most of the old political disputes
were at an end. though the great, slavery
contest, which was not settled for nearly
fifty years, was just then beginning. The
principal events of Monroe's administration
were the famous Missouri Compromise of
1920; the first settlement of Liberia by
Americans in 1921 Lafayettes visit to the
United States in 1924, and the admission of
five new States to the Union Mississippi

In the early part of the century many
new republics were formed in South
America, which had hard struggles to main
tain their freedom from European oppres-
sion. They aroused the sympathy of the
people of the United States, and President
Monroe, in his message, declared {" that the
American continents were thenceforth not
to be considered as subjects for future
colonization by any European power; that
Europe should never meddle with American
affairs and that the people of the different
parts of the continent should govern them
selves. This is the famous Monroe Doc
trine," which has since been so often dis
cussed, and especially Of late years, with
reference to the Panama Canal. 1t has

In 1925 he retired to his seat at Oak Hill,
London Co., Virginia but he still contin-
ued in the public service. After being
twice President, he acted as justice of the
peace, visitor of the University of Viz

ton. He died in 1881, like his predecessors,
Adams and Jefferson, on July 4th. He
was an honorable and able statesman, though
not speaker or man of brilliant talents.

The election of the illustrious Washing
ton to the highest office in the gift of his
grateful countrymen was formally an
nounced to him on the 18th of April, 1880.
He accepted the Office with great reluctance,
for he was summoned by his country, whose
voice he could never hear but with venera-
ton and love.
As his presence in New York, then the
seat of government, was Immediately re-
quired, he set out from Mount Vernon on
the 10th, the second day after he received
the notice of his appointment. His jour
ney was triumphal procession, such as no
conqueror could boast. Whenhe approached
the several towns the people gathered to
see him and greet him as he passed, and in
the principal cities his presence was an
nounced by the firing of cannons, ringing of
bells, and great display.
He was inaugurated with great pomp in
New York City, on April 80, 1850, and after
the conclusion of his inaugural address went
to St. Paurs Church, where the services
were read by the Bishop, and the ceremo-
nies of the day were closed. Tokens of Joy
were exhibited throughout the city, as on
the day of his arrival and in the night the
whole place was Illuminated and fireworks
displayed from every quarter.

of government, and advocated universal

administration were the purchase of Louis
lana, and the war with the Barbary States,
in 1903. In July 1904 occurred the memoir
able duel between General Hamilton and
the Vice-President, Aaron Burr. Certain
offensive publications having appeared in
one of the journals of the day, Colonel
Burr suspected Hamilton of being the
author, and, in letter addressed to him,
required his denial or acknowledgment of
the fact. Hamilton refused to give either,
and Burr challenged him. The challenge
was accepted, and Hamilton fell at the first
fire. Of great talents, powerful elo-
quence, and gentlemanly conduct, Hamil-
ton had acquired the universal respect of all
the people of the United States he was the
idol of one of the political parties, and his
sudden death caused a profound sensation
throughout the country.

JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT, 1897
1901.

John Adams, the second President of the
United States, was born Oct 80, 1925. He
was one of the foremost of American patriots,
and "by his energy and wisdom did more,
perhaps. than any other man, to crystalize
the American sentiment in favor of inde-
pendence. He persuaded Congress to
adopt the Declaration, and was its most
distinguished signer. After serving as am
bassador to France and England, Congress
thanked him for the patriotism, persever-
ance, integrity. and diligence which he dis
played. Being elected President as the
head of the Federal party, his term of
office was greatly disturbed by conflicts with

Jefferson, occupied the position of Vice

treaty with Napoleon in 1900. The year
previous, Congress had passed an alien AaU
which empowered the President to send out
of the country, at short notice, any danger
Gus foreigners, and also sedItiou Aaav,
which limited the freedom of the press to
criticise the government. Both of these
laws were so unpopular that they were
repealed under the next President and pre-
vented Adams denomination. Other i'm
portant events during Adams administra-
tion were the removal of the seat of gov
ernment to Washington and the deaths of
Patrick Henry and Washington.
The term of Mr.. Adams as President
being about to expire, new election was
held. Some of the measures of the admin.
istration had proved unpopular, and when
the result of the election was ascertained,
Mr.. Adams was completely in the minority.

Asiatic cholera in 1882.
''Thy holiest aim
Was freedom, in the largest sense, despite
Misconstrued motives, and unmeasured blame.
Above deceit, in purpose firm and pure"
-LowsoN's Sonnet to Jackson.
Jacksons eight years administration of
the government was neither better nor worse
than had preceded. The chief innovation
was in the general sweeping of men out of
office on account of their party opinions
Up to his time there had been few remov-
ais on such ground; but he adopted Gov.
Marcy's doctrine that &C to the victors belong
the spoils of the vanquished."
The leading facts of Jackson's administra-
tion were the scandal concerning Mrs. Eaton,
whereby the Cabinet was broken up; the
veto of the U. S. Bank charter; the removal
of the deposits of public money from that
bank, and particularly the prompt and COM
plete crushing of the contemplated secession
of South Carolina in 1892. This movement
was started in opposition to a high tariff,
and Jackson himself was opposed to such a
tariff; but he gave the South Carolinians to
know, in language not to be misunderstood,
that while the laws remained unrepealed
they should be enforced at all hazards
Before any serious acts had occurred the
matter was settled through the influence of
Henry Clay and others. During his second
term Jackson was engaged in the bank
war" He ordered the Secretary of the
Treasury to stop making deposits of public
money in the U. S. Bank and its branches.
The Cabinet were not favorable to such a
policy, and Jackson put William ]. Duane
at the head of the treasury, but as he
declined to do the required service he was
displaced, and Roger B. Taney was
appointed. fancy obeyed Jackson's order,
and in retaliation the Senate refused to con-
firm his nomination as Secretary. (He was
subsequently made Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court) Feeling ran so high in
this bank war that the Senate passed reso-
luton of censure on the president, proceed
ing unheard of until then. In 1887 this
resolution was by vote expunged from the

John Quincy Adams, who was born July
18th, 1867, was trained from childhood in
the service of his country, having filed
several important foreign missions, and been
at different times Senator and Secretary of
State, before he was elected the sixth Pres
ident of the United States. But, although
he was an upright and able statesman and
his administration peaceful, it was not alto

record. The bank war" closed in 1886
81; the old bank was not re-chartered, and
after some time the independent treasury
or sub-treasury was invented to take its
place as depository of public money.
During Jackson's terms the national debt
was entirely paid off, the Indians were
removed from Georgia, and nearly all of
them from Florida, although enough were
left to make the second Seminole war.

VAN BUREN,, PRESIDENT, 1887

194l.
Martin Van Buren, the eighth President
of the United States, was born December
5, 1882, and became lawyer and politician
before he was of age. Having served as
United States Senator and Governor of
New York, his native State, he was sent by
President Jackson, in 1891, as Minister to
England /; but after his arrival in that
country the Senate refused to confirm his
nomination, claiming that as Secretary of
State the year previous his course had been
unwise. In return for this party perse-
cution " the Democrats elected him Vice
President in 1892, and so President of the
same Senate, and four years later he re-
ceived the highest vote for President.
The new President was scarcely seated in
his chair when the storm, so long collecting
itself, burst upon the commercial classes
1t was at New Orleans that the first failures
of any consequence were declared then
New York followed and the alarm broke
out into panic, and in a few days there
was almost universal suspension of cash
payments. The mammoth bank of the
United States itself bent to the tempest,
and initiated the example of the rest. Mean
while the distress spread, like pestilence,
through the various ramifcations of society.
Public works, railways and canals were
brought to a close; the shipwright and
builder dismissed his men the manufac-
turer closed his doors one sentiment per-
vaded all classes the anticipation of univer-
sal ruin and individual beggary. These:
troubles and financial dstresses led to the
famous sub-treasury scheme" the most
important measure of his term of office.
1t required all public moneys to be kept,
not in banks, but in the Treasury at Wash
ington or in sub-treasuries, and forced all
banks to secure their operations by deposit
ing funds with the government. In 1887
/ occurred the Canadian rebellion, and in
1888 the departure of the Wilkes exploring
expedition. The Seminole War in Florida
and the founding of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition were also events of this time
The influence of the slavery question
in politics became virulent at the time, and
it was even proposed by a member of the

ton, each elector voted for two men, with
out designating whom he wished to fill the
Office of President. These votes when
counted showed that Thomas Jefferson and
Aaron Burr each had the same number of
votes. The choice, therefore, had to be
made by the House of Representatives and
it was not until the thirty-ffth ballot that
the friends of Mr.. Jefferson succeeded in
electing him, and on the 4th of March, 1901,
he was inaugurated.
