Things We Don't Understand

o o 9 @ o o o o o q o o o o o Q
One of the things we do not un-
derstand is why so many men would
rather lounge around than stay at
home of evenings; why more OF them
don't do as one man we know OF
does. This good citizen spends. his
evenings at home with his family,
mostly girls, around the organ sing
ing. Communities would be far bet
ter and happier if men generally
were actuated by the same spirit ex-
hibited by this neighbor, and neigh
borhoods would be freer Of the gos-
siping so universally indulged' In;
which is another Of those damaging
things we don't understand, or at
least misunderstanding, why peo-
pie, outwardly and familiarly ex
tremely friendly and pleasant to
sether should criticise each other be
hind their backs and tell of the:
faults instead of their good traits.
One can always find what he locks
for in human nature.

A NDREW JOHNSON'S presidency
N began with a great tragedy and
came near ending in another. With
two-thirds majority in congress, his
opponents overrode his vetoes, seized
control of reconstruction, stripped the
president of authority to dismiss a
postmaster or to get rid Of an enemy
even in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully ex-
ecuted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes, he
asserted the right, which never before
had been denied a president, to choose
his own cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department IN
to fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,
the house hastened to declare that lin

tives and Of the people of the United

we're specified and the misdemeanors
that were alleged, consisted almost
wholly of the presidents attempts to
remove Stanton without the consent OF
the senate.
This most important trial in Ameri-
can history began on March ., 1868,
with the senate chamber crowded and
Chief Justice Chase Of the Supreme
court in the chair.
There was u general expectation
:hat the senate would convict, no mat
ter how flimsy the case, and crowds
Of eager partisans focked to Washing
ton to enjoy the spectacle Of a White
House eviction-to see candy walk the
plank" Senator Ben Wade of Ohio
was confident to the last that he
would be called on, as president OF
the senate, to take JohnSon'S place.
His inaugural is said to have been
written and his cabinet selected, with
General Butler of Massachusetts for
secretary Of state.
AS the roll of the senate was called,
amid hushed suspense, the Republi-
can senators all voted for conviction,
until the chief justice asked, "Mr.
Senator FesSenden, how say you? Is
the respondent, Andrew Johnson, pres
ident of the United States, guilty or
not guilty of q high misdemeanor as
charged in this article?"
"Not guilty." answered the distin-
;5uished senator from Maine, who had
been in Lincoln's cabinet. The party
alignment was broken and it was again
broken in another moment by Senator
Grimes of Iowa, who had been stricken
with paralysis under the strain of the
trial, but who managed to struggle to
his feet when his name was called.
Trumbull Of Illinois, an old friend Of
Lincoln, was another man of ability
and distinction among the seven Re
publican senator's who broke away and
joined the Democrats. Yet there were
thirty-five votes for conviction against
only nineteen for acQuittal just one
less than the two-thirds necessary to
convict.
By a single vote the unique inde-
pendence Of the American presidency,
which. makes it the most eminent and
powerful political Office in the world,
was saved. Had congress triumphed,
the first long step would have been
taken ta"ard congressional govern
ment on the pattern OF the parliamen-
tary governments Of Europe. ..,

tractor for supplying bread to the
army at the outbreak of the Civil war,
when the politicians refused to make
him an officer.
The first time Grant came in sight
of the enemy in the Civil war he frank
ly tells US that his heart jumped into
his throat. 81 had not the moral
courage" he said, "to halt and con-
slider what to do; I kept right on"
That is the whole story of how
Grant got to Appomattox; he kept
right on. Starting without a friend
at his back, and with only a long, un'
broken trail Of disappointments be-
hind him, he never asked for promo
ton, an assignment or favor, yet this
unambitious man rose to be general
in chief.
No conqueror ever was higher souled
than Grant at Appomattox. Sad
and depressed, as he tells US, at
the downfall Of valiant foe, he met
Lee as if that foeman in war were a
neighbor in trouble.
When he became president it was
Grants misfortune to know no one ex'
cept his associates in the war. The
self-respecting among them kept away
from him. But the self-seekers and
the camp followers crowded about a
man who never forgot ard never dis
trusted a friend, not even when he
came bearing a Greek gift, and Sena-
tor Charles Sumner spoke scornSully
Of the administration as "gift en-
terprise."
The many scandals Of the admins
tration were mostly traceable to the
betrayal of Grants childlike conf
dence in unworthy friends. "Black
Friday" in Wall street cast it's
shadow on his family circle itself.
The whisky ring" involved the
presidents private secretary. A men,
Der of the cabinet was impeached for
soualid transactions, but by accepting
his resignation Grant let him dodge
the conviction.
A liberal section of distinguished
Republicans revolted against Grants
election to a second term, but they
were mostly leaders without follow
ers. The popular revolt did noe come
until the panic Of 1873 had plunged
the county into six years Of hard
times. AID a tidal wave in the elec-
ton Of 1874 swept the Democrats
into control Of the house.
