ture progress; which was to come, by an
easy, necessary and logical development, of
this fundamental principle. 1t gave the
liberty; and solved at once and for all
time the greatest problem of government;
reconciling liberty with authority and au-
thority with liberty, and showing the dia-
lectic union between the two. Having this
founda ton and this law of progress, and
DEVELOPMENT, this was a great nation from
the beginning.
Such an idea, such a principle, would
have made any people great. 1t might
have been confined to solitary island, it
might have found home amid the rugged
and almost uninhabttable sleeps of the
north; it might have come into being
among some population thinly scattered
over some arid and melancholy waste, or
dropped down upon some island lying like
a jewel upon the bosom of the tropical sea,
and it still would have been great, and
would have exalted and ennobled any peo-

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
CAMP ALGER, Va, August % 1895.
The review of the Ist Brigade of the Sd
Division, temporarily attached to this cCm-
mand, scheduled to take place last evening
was postponed Indefinitely at the sugges-
ton Of Maj, Cook, chief surgeon Of the d.
vision. on account of the intense heat The
brigade comprises the 1st Connecticut and
Sd Virginia, and the 11th Signal Corps Com
Iany, attached to division headquarters,
was to have paraded also. The troops will
not be reviewed this evening, but If the
weather shall prove to be favorable the
parade will take place tomorrow afternoon.
The hospital train from Philadelphia
reached Dunn Loring at noon. Several
hours later it left for the Quaker city with
about 125 conva-escent soldiers. who Will
receive medical attention from the Phiia,
Gelphians. There were not enough Penn
sylvanians to tax the capacity of the rail-
read hospital, so the authorities kindly Of
fered to take the sick from other state or
ganizatiOns that were in proper condition
To travel.
The report in the morning papers that the
1st Division is to be moved Immediately to
Mfddletown, Pa, based on War Depart
nent information, has no confirmation
here. This morning Capt. Brooks, the dt-
vision quartermaster. proceeded to issue to
the various regiments lumber with which
lumber arrived at Dunn Loring yesterday
evening, and no time viii be lost IN getting
the portable floors constructed and in place.
Will Go to Cuba.
Captain Fred NJ. Page, assistant adju-
tant general of this division, and Leuten-
ant Alfred Hampton, an aid on the staff Of
Major General Butler, have been selected
to accompany the general to Cuba. Both
are efficient officers, fluent Spanish scholars
and well fitted to perform the arduous du-
ties which will fall to their lot.
Captain Page is a professor of French
and Spanish in the University of Pennsyl-
vania. AT the outbreak of the war he
offered his services to the government as
an Interpreter to accompany the army OK
invasion to Cuba. Recognizing his worth.
he was given commission, and the wis
dom of the selection is shown by his faith
full and excellent work assistant ad1u-
tant general. AS result of his numerous
tours through South America and Europe
he is We'll acquainted with the people with
whom the commission will have to deal.
Lieutenant Hampton is the youngest son
of General Hampton. OF late years he has
been connected with the immigration de-
partment, serving in Arizona and Texas.
he was engaged as a mining engineer in
Mexico. Like Captain Page, he thoroughly
understands the character of the Spaniards
and Spanish half-breeds.
Private George Purucker, Company f,
Goth New York, died this morning in the

body Will be laid to rest tomorrow after

The Work of God.

But the works of God are logical and
symmetrical. A jewel must be properly
set; a landscape properly viewed, and
great idea should have a great outward
and material expression. Religion has SO
wrought from the temples of Greece to
the cathedraIs of Europe, and commerce
seeks by gigantic constructions, adequately
to express Itself to the world. Men may
fail, but when Providence works there
must be order, symmetry and harmony:
therefore, the great idea of liberty was not
confined to a solitary island did not find
home amid the barren ana Eninhabitable
steppes Of the north, did not appear among
the poor population Of some arid and mel
ancholy waste, but here upon this great
continent, a world of its own, with every
material resource and every natural ad-
vantage, every form of beauty and every
possibility of growth"
The eloquent words of the orator called
forth frequent applause. He spoke for
half hour, tracing the growth of Ameri-
can liberty, and said it was no less glorious
to perpetuate than to establish liberty.
His rendition of The Ship OF State was
mastery and appreciated by the audience.
The results OF the war mad been, ne Sald,
to strengthen the Union.
In speaking of the union of all sections,
Father Stafford said the Union was to pc
not only of sections, but of men OF all be-
liefs and no belief. He spoke of half
dcZan little narrow bigots,' one of whom
he said he was sorry to say, was the Las
tor of a church of this city, who had at
tempted to make the war q religious ques
ton. For himself, he wanted freedom and
union among men of all beliefs and men Of
no beliefs

x-Coin missioner Tanner.

Prolonged applause followed Father
Stafford's remarks, the band then playing
a stirring air, after which eX-Commis-
sioner OF Pensions James Tanner gave an
entertaining and inspiring address, en-
livened by witticisms and strong in co1n-
II en- sense suggestions.
Referring to the speakers who had pre-
ceded him. Mr. Tanner said:
Il have but one suggestion to make, and
that is to my friend, the Postmaster Cen
eral / told him when he concluded his
brilliant speech that the only amendment l
had to offer that where he had used
the word Manila l would substitute the
word Philippines 1 am rather inclined to
agree with the eminent divine when he
said that we are capable of running our
own machine, for that is the Yankee way
of putting his remarks"
Grand Work.
Mr.. Tanner favored keeping everything
the flag floats over, and he was no. to be
bound down by the Monroe doctrine. After
commenting on the war Mr.. Tanner CON-
tinued:
while we are here talking about what
we will do for our boys when they come
home. do you know what some of the la
dies have been doing? Down on MARYLAND
avenue, where carloads after carloads of
sick and wounded soldiers have been COM
ing into this city and lying there for hours
without proper nOurlSnlnent-Our DOyS, LOT
they are our boys, whether they come
from Vermont Mississippi or California,
their uniform makes them our boys-the
first thing we knew we found out that the
ladies of that neighborhood. seeing their
necessities, have been actually taking the
food from their1tables and have been car
rying it to the boys who were too sick to
get out of the cars Oh, l would like to
say great deal more of what l think of
these ladies, except for the fact that my
wife is present"
The speaker paid a glowing compliment
to Miss Clara Barton, and then, sreaking
of the reception to be rendered the soldiers,
he said:
Practical Suggestion.
at has been suggested that part of this
reception should be great banquet to the
boys. and that there should be a costly
and beautiful banner presented to them.
This is all right, but, remember. as you
remember the great victory, that when
these men come back and have once laid
aside the trappings of war. when they
pass down these streets once again In citi-
Zens' garb, the most earnest prayer most
of them win be forced to utter will be-
Our Father, give US this day our daily
bread They are coming back with the
very marrow of their bones surcharged
with malarial poison tgroans through the
house,. 1 suppose that history will repeat
Itself, and when their proud spirits are
broken and 1t is forced upon those Who
fought at Santiago and at Porto Rico and
