CABINET CRISES

they could be taken into the fold
again.
Johuson's position was that the war
was merely an extreme and protTact-
ed uprising" with which the presi-
dent alone should deal and not con-
gress. The feeling between the two
became so acute that days passed
without either speaking to the other,
though they met frequently in the
cabinet discussions. Finally President
Johnson asked for Stanton's resigna-
ton. Stanton promptly, almost alb
ruptly, in his brusque, irritating man
ner, refused to resign.
johnson thereupon declared him re-
moved from Office and appointed Gen
eral Grant to act as secretary. Of war.
The tenure of office act, TO protect
civilian employees from the summary
removal from Office, had been in effect
only a short time. Stanton held the
act of Johnson illegal under the act
and still refused to give up mis- Of
fee.
And for nearly four months the
country had two secretaries Of war
Stanton and Grant Grant was in an
especially humiliating position, urged
as ne was on one hand TO GUST Stan
ton from the Office of secretary and
controlled by reasonable doubt as
to the legality of his own appointment
Besides. Grant and Stanton had had
several serious frictions in Lincoln's
time, when Lincoln tactfully and point
eddy made the d0mineering war secre-
tary realize that Grant was the real
head Of the army
The question went before congress
when it reconveued in December and
there was CONSERVATION when the SEN
ate, whose prerogative it was to pass
upon presidential appointments, re-
fused TO sanction the ousting Of Stan
ton. This threw things back to their
original status, and Stanton resumed
his Office.
Johnson then took the bull by the
horns and removed Stanton again.
The removal during a recess Of con
gress was not considered q very ser
fous contravention of the tenure Of Of
fee act, but the second action, with
congress in session. created a tremen-
dous sensation. and before the coun-
try was aroused from its amazement
articles Of impeachment had been
drawn against Johnson.
AS anticipated, the stress Of the I'M
parchment trial was placed on Stan
toms removal, and when the removal
was upheld by the impeachment vote
the other charge fell through. Stan
ton promptly rendered his resigna-
ton and John NJ. Schofeld was named
as his successor.

taken as an indication Of what the fu-

The thing that The people cs the
United States most desire TO see as a

development Of our industries and q
reduction IN the cost o. living By rea-

ton was behind stone wall. its con-
tinuity broken here and there. Ralph
was on one side of a gap. while Ed
gar was on the other side. the opening
between them being eight or ten yards.
Edgar concluded to make a dash to
join his brother. He had passed safe
ly over all but a couple Of yards Of the
distance when Ralph saw a Spanish
sharpshooter taking aim at his broth
er. Ralph had just emptied his piece
or he would have shot the Spaniard-
AS it was. he sprang between him and
Edgar and received a shot which,
grazing the spine, paralyzed his lower
limbs He was discharged from the
service and sent home, where he sub

Of it, and wherever it was possible to
conceal any sacrifice he matte for his
brother he did so. He soon came to
studying RaIph's wishes, and wherever
they conficted with his own, made
pretense that what Ralph wanted was
distasteful 10 him.
Then came Edith PAYNE into the
lives Of the brothers. She was sympa-
thetic with Ralph. but her heart went
out to Edgar. The one she loved as

loved as one she needed. Edgar, MOTTO
ing that his brother was daily growing
more dependent on her, Tefrained from
paying her any marked attention.
AS time went on Edgar perceived
that Edith was growing TO be neces-
sitv to Ralph Moreover, he noticed
that while Edith was devoted to Ralph.
