devolved upon the Vice President. Bitterly opposing his projects and doing all in their power to thwart him, our lawmakers passed acts unworthy of such an august body. Disregarding these restrictions the President was charged with crimes worthy of impeachment. By the majority of only one vote, however, was he saved, and the Union has been compelled to blot out none of its chief Executives’ names from the national roll of honor. It is the desire of every true hearted American citizen that the motives of our people’s representatives may be above reproach, and that harmony may exist among the factions, for only then will our nation be at its best. Wars have been averted as well as foreshadowed by the verdict of a just and unprejudiced jury. The distructiveness of a third struggle with our mother country was prevented by the intervention of a court of arbitration, and the Alabama Claims were settled peacefully. We have seen, how, in our country’s past history, the struggles of law have played a silent, but most active part. How shall the question of International dispute of the future, be settled? Shall we follow the barbaric custom of our ancestors and meet our enemy on the battlefield? Shall we engage in the wars which cost the country millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of the best men? It is to be hoped that the destructiveness of the past may be eliminated from the struggles of the future. Nations are gradually becoming more peaceful and are allowing the vital questions, internal and external, to be settled harmoniously by a tribunal. The Peace Conferences of the last decade have been a great stride toward the bloodless settlement of international disputes, and their true worth is gradually being realized by the nations. For only when the fate of Empires is entrusted to a Congress, efficient and unprejudiced, will the barbaric motto “Might makes Right” be cast aside, and “Might Subordinate to Right,” be the cry of the nations. CARL WILSON. 11
