THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1893—TEN PAGES. ORATORS AND POETS, How the Day Was Celebrated in Eloquence and Song. MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESSES. ‘Text of Mr. Simonds’ Oration at Arling- ton — Dr. Spinning’s Eloquent Address at Congressional Cemetery—Speeches at Other Cemeteries. a ‘The oration today at Arlington was delivered by Wm. E. Simonds, late commissioner of Patents. It was received with much applause by the veterans and others composing the audience that assembled in the amphitheater. Mr. Simonds sai: Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen: “Greater Jove hath no man than this, that aman lay down his life for his friends.” So spake the Master, He whom the Christian world holds to have been God incarnate in the flesh. By that same high token, the 16,000 men whose mortal part is turning back to sweet and wholesome earth under the green grass whieh your eyes command hold sure title to the love and the Xeneration of every living American, as well as to that of the unborn millions who are to flood em ¢ wonderful empire of the And do they it? There may be here and there a soul in which the divine spark has not yet burst into flame, some soul that hangs a burden on the spiritual forces of the clos- WILLIAM E. STMONDS. ing century, not quick to give response. But ask the people. They, witha shout to shake the heavens, will answer aye, for their hearts are leal and true,and they are worthy of those men who shut their eyes forever on the golden sun- light that it might continue to beat with warm caress on the folds of yonder flag, maintaining its every stripe intact and its every star un- dimmed. In the marble halls which rise upon your sight, where the myriad interests of sixty mil- lions of people meet and clash in constant con- test. there may be moments when the memory of these dead heroes is the mere shuttlecock of party strife and seltish‘ambition, but not the twenty-eight years behind us, nor the twenty- eight centuries in front of uscan dull the loving Femembrance of the nation. ‘The war between the states is over and past, thanks be to God. Thanks. also, to two million of American freemen who were God's avengers. ‘Thanks, also, toan annumbered host of loyal American men and loyal American women who carried God's ia their hearts and saw to its fulfillment with all their might. But its Magnificent lessons will last forever. The Diesaings it wrought out will go down to the latest generation. And through all the grow- ing ages the image of the Union soldier will glow with brightening radiance and still diviner ight. icacgacd the survivors are passing asa tale that is told. Of the 2,000,000 of men who ‘took up arms tor national unity one-half flow slumber in their long sleep and for the other half the shadows, but too long already, are still fast lengthening toward the silence which no earthly sound will ever disturb and toward the darkness on which no earthly sunrise will ever break. And we know with fatal accuracy how fast the comrades are marching into the shadows. Out of the light and into the dark- ness some 40,000 a year. Forty thousand walked with usa year ago who,on this anui- ‘YVersary, are with the silent million. And to- day there are 40.000 more of our own whole num- ber bending under the weight of years and in- firmities, teased by the ceaseless fretting of the moth that never tires, with eyes so failing and limbs so stiffening that they but grope along the little of travel yet left to them. who, when next we meet again, will have cast all their burdens into that eternal oblivion which flows around us like @ waveless, shoreless, soundless sea. THE MEN THEY YovonT. Thero are those of our countrymen upon whom thewar burdens hang less lightly than upon the Unionsoldier. They are the men against whom we played the game of death on battle ship and battlefield. They bear our every bur- den and more besides. During the four years of strife the wheels of our industries turned with their usual merry music, while theirs halted and, for the most part. were still and mute. We ‘traveled afar to meet our foes, while with them the wrack of war took its desolating track directly across their farms and hearth- stones. When the drums had ceased to beat and the bugles had ceased to blow, we dropped back into the great ocean of northern labor with no ripple to mark our coming save that of welcome; when the southern soldier went home from Appomattox, he found his ancient bond servants transformed into the new and strange relations of freed- men. Our development since 1365 has been along tho old lines projected when the nation’s day was new, while they, to their great and endless’ profit. have had their energies wrenched into channels unwel- come to their former tastes. A grateful nation has lavished its pensions upor us in a shower of gold: no coin of all the millions drops into the southern soldier's palm. But above and be- yond all other things is this—the Union soldier ears that in his soul which by day and by might sings like a joyous bird, a song of the freedom of 4,000,000 of slaves, a song of praise to the God of our fathers, who builded the nation, and a song of victory for that emblem ef hope and promise to all the peoples of tbe world, our heaven-born banner, tl tars and stripes.” Meantime. the confederate soldier carries ever in his soul the sting of defeat, with the dead hope of a lost cause, and before his inner sight the vision of his banner trailing in the dust. No Union soldier has a bitter word for his ancient foes. For their misfortunes be has only sympathy, and for their bravery only admiration. ‘Webster, speaking of Sumpter and Marion in yonder Senate, gloried in them as “Americans all, whose fame is no more to be hemmed in by state lines than their courage and patriotism were capable of being circnmscribed within the same narrow limits.” And having regard only to their valor and their manliness we, too, glory in these later southrons as “(Americans all,” and, so faras in us lies, forgiving them their trespasses as we trust that ours may be forgiven, we stand with them, side by side, in these tender ministrations over the dead. “These in the robings of ‘Those in the gloom of All with the bath In the dusk of eternity meet: Trader the sod and the dow.

And what couch so grandly fit for him who dies for his country in these historic shades of Arlington? he city at our feet, not yet builded to completion, is | already the home of grandeur and of beauty. Yn the not distant future its attractions must all urban graces which have gone be- fore.

HISTORIC WASHINGTON. But grandas are all these externals they wt with statues and | Pale into insignifieance beside those things which only the inrer spirit can appreciate. This has been the official home of Washington, of Lincoin and of Grant, Here and here about it was that they ¢t their souls into destiny for the good of all mankind. Here the heart of the nation has beat for a hundred years in Fainand pride, in sorrow and in triumph. lere, during four long years of civil war, tho tramp of the feet of the citizen soldiers of the Tepublic was never silent in its streets by day or by night. It is @ center around which a hundred earthworks, once bristling with me and arms, are slowly disappearing under disintegrating and healing hand of time. The surrounding soil is drenched with the blood of men who went to death that the nation might live. Washington has but a hundred years of age, but it has a thousand years of experience. As you march down its streets, proud both of its outward and its inward glories, but sad with the remembrances of the comrades whom you cannot ee with the natural sight, a great un- seen army marches by your side and it would be eve to eye and shoulder to shoulder if you but had the touch and vision spiritual. Yonder rises a home for the soldiers of the nation, splendid with halls of marble and ex- juisite in its broad extent of field and tree and shrub. And here. just across the broad Poto- mae, and high above it, lies Arlington—Arling- ton of glorious memory—owned by Washing- ton as guardian of John and Eleanor Custis, later the home of Robert E. Lee, and now the last resting place of 16,000 of the nation's dead, 2,000 of them nameless and under a sin- gle stone. These noble oaks and winding | Grives are replete with memories which cannot be put into words. On the brow of the slope, with his bronze counterpart ever looking down upon’ Washington, across the quiet river, under the brilliant light of the southern sky and under the milder radiance of the southern night, sleeps that darling of the soldier's heart, the peerless Sheridan. I never come to Arlington and waik among the long rows of quiet little headstones of the 14.000, or stand by the block where rest 2,000 of our nameless dead, or look upon the sturd: shaft which marks the last sleep of gallant Pb' Sheridan, that tears do not start unbidden; that I do'not feel a tingling even to my temples and my finger tips, and that I am not exalted to an appreciation, in some degree, of the splendor of that uprising of the people which Kept the stars and stripes afloat from Maine to California and from Florida to Oregon. Nowhere else are O'Hara's verses so eminently fit: “On Fame’s eternal camping ground ‘Their silent tents are And Glory guards, with round, ‘The bivouac of the dead.” Why drop a tear over these happy dead? A century sweeps us nll from the face of the earth. What boots it, then. to have @dded_in- glorious years to our stock of days? How grander far to have died in the forward rush of the race for which the forces_had been gather- ing through centuries of time. In all the providence of God no one thing is clearer than this—all humanity is on trial in our land. We are hastening with almost fearful pace to the culmination of our cycle. Growing in might and wealth and power as never empire grew before,our teeming millions are heaving just in front of problems so grave that only trust in the wisdom of the divine plan, which is the motive force of the machinery of the universe, can give hope and calm to any thoughtful breast. The greatest single struggle of all was now, when the potency of freedom wrestled in death grapple with the potency of slavery and ieft that black shape from hell dead on the “In that struggle these, ot if Pn yom thus, became irene gloriiea And this ground will be forever holy ground. It will be trodden by the feet of all our people, come they from the shores of the great norther Jakes, from the tropical lands which border the Mexican gulf or from the golden sands of the Pacific. With this air they will breathe in so much of patriotic as to ask no higher sta- tion on earth than that of being simply Ameri- cans. And into their souls will steal the subtle essence of the eternal verities, so leavening the whole national life that through all the mighty growth and storm and tumult of the future we | shall forge safely onward toward the accom. | pliahment of peace on earth and good will to | os Shed, then, no tears over these happy And why say I “dead?” They are gone ouly from mortal sight, thanks be to the keen plow- share of griefs which let light and knowledge in upon the deep intuitions of our nature. As sure as Iam that I now behold the light of day, just so sure am I that when the heavens above us shall be rolled up as a scroll | and the limitless order of the universe shall be resolved back to chaos, we shall all be in the fresh youthfulness of an intense and glowing immortality. To some of you such words may have as little meaning-as the murmur of hollow shell, but to others they are but the echoes of your own inner voices. Our frail humanity trembles and shrinks at thought of the dark hour wherein the silver cord is loosened and earth takes back the dust she lent, but the voices of our reason, of our intuitions and of all the sureties of our being speak in clear tones, wherein is no quaver of doubt or fear, and tell us that the looring of the cord but frees the spirit for conditions from which we may regard these present Insts and limitations as we with mortal eyes regard those insects whose uses bind them to delve in dust and filth. ‘Nar is there aught of sweet reasonableness in any torpid sleep of winged souls; such notion claims too much of kinshup with Swiss tales of lost souls locked in the cold hearts of high- laced glaciers: tradition running half- ack to men who dwelt in caves is father of t thought; reason and revelation give it flat de- nial.

Thus, indeed, they are to me;at times the very air is pulsing with their pres- ence. And as at this hour all over freedom’s broad domain the flowers fall in one rast shower of fragrance and of beauty and lie on graves that cover only empty shella of human lives, if we | but had the vision glorified might we not sce | their former tenants at our sides, joyous spirits | of the air, glad and grateful at this our grace of sweet remembrance? Thus let us think of them, those who wore the blouse and belt and those who wore the eagies and stars, now equal. all in God’s equality. And let us never say to them “Farewell,” but always “Hail, comrades, we speed our coming.” Following is the poem read at Arlington by | Mr. Dewitt C. Sprague: At Arlington. Dear Arlington!

REV. DR, SPINNING’S ORATION. ‘The Eloquent New York Divine at the Con. gtessional Cemetery. The oration at Congressional cemetery today was delivered by Rev. Dr. Geo. L. Spinning, the eloquent New York divine, whois in Wash- ington as a commissioner attending the Presby- terian generat assembly. Dr. Spinning said in part: Sacred as the trumpet call to arms in ’61 is thecall to which we roepond this day. We now stand with the angel of the backward look. After one of the most DR. GEORGE L. SPIXNIXO, terrific battles of the war I noticed a blue coat sleeve and a hand protruding from a grave. It was a tender appeal and farewell, A voice came to me from that grave saying: “Forget not!” Never did Isracl in Babylon bow more loyally than I, saying: “If I forget theo lot my ht hand lose its cunning.” Memorial day is to this land and nation a band of memory, representing $00,000 com- es. There was a time when the shadow of death fell on the land of Egypt, when Israel was de- livered by the mighty hand of God. To forget that deliverance wasa crime. An anniversary was instituted for the observance and education of coming generations. That was 4,000 yeurs ago, and still tho Jews observe it. ‘There are some things in our national history we dare not forget without being guilty of a treason that is execrable and doubiy damned—treason to the memory of 300,000 loyal, martyred dead. This day, therefore, we devote to them. The ancient Greeks and Romans built temples to Vesta. the goddess of the family, and the state, considered asa larger family. — In the heart of Rome her ancient temple may stili be seen. There burned the sacred and perpetual fire, ministered to by chaste and beautiful vestal virgins. Oncea year in sclemn procession they entered her temple, purified and replenished the sacred flame. OUR LOYAL DEAD have done more for our homes and our re- public thdn any mythical goddess ever did for Rome. The grand temple to their memory is the unbroken fabric of a union whose base is continent and whose dome towers among the stars. The sacred fires which we dare not let die is their memory, and in this the day of sol- emn procession to’ the altars of patriotism we come as true-hearted patriots to replenish the sacred flame. This not an anniversary day. We come not here to triumph over a fallen foe—we come to remember. How would it have sounded in the days when the land trembled with the shock of bursting guns if we bad sid to those who be- came the breastwork of liberty: “Go forth iuto the cloud of deadly hail, achieve our freedom, starve in the prison pen, agonize in the hospital, die on the battlefield; when Zour wives are widowed, your childron father- we have grown rich from oe pes springing from your graves and from a soil watered with your blood, then ins craven charity for the feelings of the foe from whom you defended us and by whose hand you feil we will not casta flower of remembrance ‘on your graves.” We will whisper of a mur- dered Lincoln, expurgate the literature in which America’s proudest heroism is recorded, write history with no personal mention, raze to the earth our soldiers’ monuments, burn your battle flags, whitewash Andersonville, and as kindly nature weaves violets and forget-me- nots into the green and lowly tents under which 800,000 warriors rest pass them with no recog- nition, treat our holiest impulses as serpents and strangle them at birth. There is not » soldierly heart on this conti- nent, whether it once beat under the blue or the gray, that does not instinctively damn such treason as this. We need this day and we need our dead. ‘he great truths for which they died must pass into our lives and into the life of the nation, and be transmitted into deeds of heroism in working out the problem of national destiny, vindicating the principles of law and government embodied in our national consti- tation, WHAT OUR FLAG MEANS. Our fing, for which they died, means that no form of human slavery is tolerated by law. By our legislative enactments there must be no class legislation or class exemptions such as will stultity us in the eyes of the world and make our flag a flaunting lie. The war taught us that class legislation was almost a fatal ex- periment. It is said that in one of the battles of the upon a single battle and a single brigade, that brigade, without a leader and riddied with bul- lets, wavered for mcment, preparatory toa crisis, there suddenly “appeared in the front rank an old man, with white hair, who, with a flintlock musket, stood his ground, loading and firing. The might of nim rallied the brigade. With deafening cheer the brigade charged and swept the ficid like a tempest. May such be the mission of this Memorial day to our be- loved nation m all its coutticts for liberty, for humanity and for God. The poet of the day at Congressional ceme- tery was Thomas Calver. His production, en- titled “The Soldier Sleeps,” was as follow The Soldier Steeps. He sleeps, the soldier sleeps, no more ‘To wake at break of da ‘To hear the morn nz xuu's glad roar Yn echoes die away; No riore to hear the b Borne on the waking Or see the sinole from “Above the arching trees, No more to breathe the incense sweet From solders’ homely fare, As busy band: le note reeze, piites float nd burried fot ‘The woruing ineal prepare; Ro more the breaktest call to bait Gx tinete fo pret tae tardy taal p hiaate to erect tie tardy tn ‘From those he loved the best. ‘No more tose tho banner bright Its lovely folds unvurl Against the sky's soft amber light ‘And clouds of wold and pearl; No more at mounting of the wuard ‘To take bis place in ranks, Or reap the iworu relief’s reward— ‘The woary seutry’s thanks. ‘No mors topass the tong, long day ‘On louely picket post, the bushes, far away, : advancing lost; No wore to speed the weary ho With dreams o'er fragrant } Or plucking dear, familiar flow OF luscious beriies ripe.

Madison Catt At the exercises at Battle cemetery this after- noon J. Madison Cutts delivered the oration of the day, as follows: Comrades and Friends: The blind Milton, although divinely gifted, before recouuting in heroic and immortal verse the story of Para- dise Lost, invoked heavenly inspiration and tne | aid of the All-powerful and All-wise Ruler of the Universe: on e is dark Peta wee Sey ioe mnlonpeet That to the holgat 4! this ereat argument ‘aud Justify the ways of God to mien. ‘The wisest statertaan and the most scholarly and accomplished orator might well on this ; may be worthy occasion utter a prayer that no word should fall from his lips unworthy of the sacred and | patriotic instincts which have assembled us on this historic spot, on this most beautiful day, in the lovely month of May. If wo by a beatific vision could behold our departed comrades hovering near us in spirit we know that they would prefer to hear from us only the short and simple language of the heart and would sanction no utterances which did not contribute to the peace, happiness and unity of our beloved country, and the promo- tion of universal sentiments of patriotic, un- selfish and self-sacrificing devotion to our en- tire country. umted under a sacred and vener- ated Constitution and one most glorious flag. We have not assembled with sorrowing countenances and dejected mien. We are not sad, but bring to the performance of the patri- otic duties of this day happy hearts and all the | ht of our noblest sympathies, We are here gathered together because we believe that it is meet and proper that a great nation should annually vay merited tribute of respect and gratitude to the memories of those who died that the nation might live, and made possible, if they did not create, all of present and future national prosperity, happiness and renown Which we now enjoy and so confidently antici- pate, ‘A GOLDEN Ena. We rejoice that this isa golden era in our country’s history, when we are at peace with all the world and all nations have united with us. on our own soiland in our own waters, in celebrating the great discovery which gave to mankind America and anew world. Our own power and greatness as a nation are universally conceded, prosperity reigns within our borders, and our people are making such rapid strides in all the arts and sciences and industrial pur- suits that we are able to build palaces,dedicated to science, art and industry, of such marvelous beauty and magnificence as'to suggest the story of Aladdin and his wonderful Iamp and to sur- pass all similar efforts of other nations, while we gather within them the results of our own genius and entorprise as a people, still leaving ample space for the exhibits of ail the world be- sides,and invite with generous rivalry compoti- tion and comparison with much older nations. We also rejoice with exceeding gladness that our people devote themselves with equal zeal to the pursuits of industry, by which wealth accumulates, and to the great causes of educa- tion and religion, without which both men aud nations decay, and that they do not neglect the custom and most active exercise of both private and public benevolence and charity with world- wide and heaven-born sympathies. It would be a serions and irreverent neglect of daty if, mindful as on such an occasion we must be of our country’s history, we did not humbly acknowledge that God ‘alone is grent, and man, no matter what may be the earthly glory of ‘his achievements, is at his best and wisest very little. Comrades, I say with great earnestness of conviction that the protecting and overruling power of Divine Providence has been con- stantly manifested in ever era of our country’s history. In the epoch of voyages and discov- that of settlements, in the days of colonial struggle and trials, during our revolu- tionary war for independence, in those days succeeding when not without grave anxieties our Constitution was formed and an indissolu- ble union of states created. During the war of 1812 and that more recent war of the rebellion, wherein those of our comrades who lie buried around us, with countless thousands more, died gloriously, and died, thank God, not in vain. THE GOSPEL OF LIBERTY. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was promulgated, and the gospel of liberty spoken toall mankind in tones of impressive eloquence, earnestness and power, which even now, a cen- tury and a quarter Inter, have last none of their effective force, but are still heard giving strength, hope, the power of endurance and ac- tion wherever men need to be enlightened, cheered, lifted up and strengthened by the voice of freedom. Not many years late great struggle, the Con by the matchless, unsurpassed wisdom of states- men unequaled ‘in learning, patriotism and self-sacrificing devotion to duty by the atatos- men and sages of any other nation in either ancient, medieval or modern times. ‘We have met to decorate the graves of those who earned the gratitude of their country dur- ing a war—the greatest in all- history—waged for the preservation of the Union and the Con- stitution and the enforcement of the laws, that for all time to come the descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and of those who framed the Constitution should have only one flag and one country. The Declaration of Independence and the formation and adoption of the Constitution were two of the groatest events in the history not only of our own country, but of mankind. ‘They created an abiding place for liberty. and marked a new erain the progress of eiviliza- jon. The war of the revolution was necestary to make good and give effect to that declaration and to render possible the union of these states under one Constitution. Still another war was ni to maintain that Constitution, make it forever sacred and inviolable and to secure the union of these states 2h to, folid s foundation that no European or itrary Asiatic skeptic, despot or advocate of ar or kingly power now doubts that it will be per- petual. ‘The war of 1812, known as the second war of independence, was necestary to teach Great Britain, always slow to learn or to submit to the lessons of adverse experience where her own power and dominion are concerned, that the results of the revolutionary war were nut acci- dental, but providential, and that a new gov- ernment had arisen strong in the affections of its people, and fully able on «ea and land to maintain its own dignity and the rights of all its citizens, and to command respect wherever duty called and honor led the way. NO SECOND WAR NECESSARY, No second war will ever be necessary to teach the great lesson that the Union and the Con- | stitution are one and inseparable now and for ever, and that the limited and wisely restrained | powers of our government are fully adequate | to meet all the demands and exigencies either in peace or war of a free people who are tena- cious of their rights, who love their country and are devoted to the great principles of pop- ular and local self-government. It would be a serious omission not to make mention of one great fact which at home is a subject of universal and most heartfelt rejoic- ing, while abroad it excites wonder and amaze- ment. It is that those who but recently sought a dismemberment of the Union—reject- ing wiser counsels, and under ill-advised leadersbip—now in ‘absolute and unquestion- able good faith unite with ite defenders in a common devotion to their country and its glorious flag, and are incensed when their Toyalty to the restored and reinvigorated Union is called in question. ‘This is truly a great fact—unparaileled in the world’s history—which I mention only to con- demn, as I may safely do in the name of allwho are present, all those whose power for evil, thank God, is rapidly growing less, who for any purpose would keep alive any of the bitter memories of a strife now so happily ended by @ perfect reconciliation, It is forall of these reasons I have thus briefly enumerated that with a reverent spirit I say the heroes of tho Inte war for the main- tenanco of the Constitution rendered services to their country ns much entitling them to its love and gratitude us did the soldiers of the revolution: nd that they equaled them in the rosulting benefits conferred upon mane kind. They were present at the birth of the nation and were its founders—the dead around Us were its preservers, It is now universally conceded that the sne- cessful war for the preservation of the Union | made, if it did not create, the mighty nation o¢ | our day and won for it its proper place among all the other nations of the earth. FULL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CEREMONIES. My friends, need I say more to explain the full meaning and significance of the annual recurzing ceremonies of Memorial day? Does uy man, or woman either, doubt that equally with those attending all our other national hol- idays thoy serve a noble, just and patriotic purpose, and that neither old nor young can | participate in them without feeling beating in their hearts the most ennobling emotions of love of country and of gratitude to God.

AT GRACELAND CEMETERY. Rev. E. Olin Eldridge Speaks of the Debt Due the Soldier. At Graceland cemetery the address was de- livered by Rev. E. Olin Eldridge of the Douglass Memorial M. E. Church. In the course of his remarks the orator said: ‘The time of recruiting has gono by; the bloody battles are over, and soon the genera- tion of heroic men who saved their govern- ment will have passed away. As Ilook at the remnant of old soldiers I ask myself the ques- tion, is this all that remains of that mightiest and most valorous army? I sce in imagination the faces of the living and the dead. The shades of the boys who never came back are here. They come here from rice swamp and sugar plantation, from prison pen and hospital bed, s the congregating assembly passes before me, Task myself the question, what does it mean, what is the gain, and what are tho lessons taught? One is, that their great and glorious country that ‘has cost so much is worth the sacrifice. God has given to no other jople such a domain as He bas given to us. Great races of other times havo had. insignif- cant homes; but look at the home God has ‘given to the American people. Our fathers, only a few years ago, were accustomed to look at the Missouri river ‘as the western hem of our national garment, but there is a whole Roman world beyond it. Take, if you plense, the state of Connecticut unit of monsure,” This state could be laid down twenty-two times in Colorado, and great ‘as is Colorado, it is smalier than Dakota by 46,000 square miles. California is larger than Dakota 7,000 square miles, Texas is larger than California 116,000 square miles, and yet Texas is only half as largo as Alaska. If we were asked “Where in the world is the brightest outlook for the human race?” weshould unhesi- tatingly say, America. Here are to be found the most religious, intellectual and sive people u:on the oarth, and here itis that God as undertaken the most gigantic experiment in individual liberty the sun ever shone on. ‘The land you fought for was worth saving. Another lesson tobe learned is that this great country is not a mere federation of states, and that the causo of the Union is the cause of right. Ihave no sympathy with the sentiment wo sometimes hear that the Union soldier was half right and half wrong; the cause of the Union was entirely right, and the cause of treason was entirely wrong. No! my dear friends, our fathers thought, when they framed the Union and the Constitution, that the Union and the Constitution should be the custodian of the priceless jewels of civil and religious liberty, and you veterans fought through the war on'precisely the same principles; you did not believe it safe to trust these precious ‘sere to the broken fragments of a scattered Union. You stved the only nation that offers today to the down-trodden and oppressed of the world an ‘lum and a home. ‘One other lesson that we must never forget, and that is the welfare of thosc who made the chiet sucrifices in the conflict. Those who have shared in the fullest measure of prosperity that has come to our country as the result of the war ought tobe the very last to complain when the question of pensions is to be consid- ered. Two classes of debts were incurred by the war. Debts to the men who risked their money and debts to. the men who risked their lives. Both had the plighted faith of the na- tion, The money obligation has been met, Depreciated paper has been repaid, dollar for dollar, The pledge to the soldier is no less sacred. Let us sve that every farthing is paid, and in the language of the immortal Lincoln, see that we “‘care for him that hath borne the battle d for his widow and for his orphans.” Shame on him who probably during the war was a dodger and a stay-at-home who would now lift his voice against what, tomy mind, 1 the purest and best paid money that has ever been expended by the United States treasury, namely, the pensions paid to the widows, or- phans and brave survivors of that glorious host who, rather than see their nation divided, marched down into the very jaws of death and ruin, THE “NO PES ION” CRY. Mr. Hendricks Tells of It in His Address at St. Elizabeth's. Mr. Arthur Hondricks, past assistant adjutant general, Department of the Potomac, G. A. R,, in his addrose at St. Eliznbeth’s today said: * They would have the country believe that thousands of our comrades, or their dependent ones, have perpetrated gross frauds upon the ARTHUR MESDRICKS, government and that many borne upon the pension rolls, though needy and destitute, should be stricken therefrom. ‘These so-called latter-day patriots and reformers allege that the soldier and sailor were paid in full for ser- vice rendered and that thirteen dollars a month ‘was suiticient compensation for the same. They put under their feet all considerations of loyalty and patriotism; or that, with a few ex- ceptions, all who enlisted were imbued with those sentiments alone. In settling eneh ques- tons we say to them, “Put yourself in the place of those whom yoa would decry.” In the words of a comrade of this department, who tands as an authority upon such matters, and an evidence that the pathways of the vot- erans of the war for the Union were not strewn with flowers, { desire to give a portion of the history of one regiment in our army: The fifty-seventh Massachusetts left the state as late as April 18, 1864. Mark the da’ April 18, 1864. It had in it 1,052 men. ‘his is another number which I wish you to note— 1,052 men. May 6, before the regiment was three weeks from the state, it was in the center of the bloody hell of the Wilderness, and when its maiden fight closed fifty-seven of its mem- bers lay stark and stiff upon the blood-soaked sand, 150 others had received more or less ter- rible wounds and thirty more were “missing,” either killed or captured. That is, nearly one- fourth of the original number of the regiment were knocked out inside of three weeks. Six days later, at Spottsylvania Court House, it went through another terrible ordeal, in which it lost thirteen killed, fifty-five ' wounded and fonr missing, and on May 18, just @ month after it bade farewell to Massachusetts, it lost three killed and fourteen wounded. Thus, within one calendar month of the regiment's departure from the state it had lost out of the 1,052 men who followed ite flag seventy- three killed, 227 wounded and thirty-four miss- ing—384 ix all, or about one-third of its num- ber. In spite of these awful losses—losses which in’ any European army would have prevented any call for it to do any more fighting, and would havo given it an honorable, well-earned place in the rear—the remainder of the regiment went steadily and gallantly forward, taking its full share of all the bloody encounters which made the march of the Army of the Potomac from the Rappa- hannock to the James one long, ghastly harvest field of death. By the time of the battle of Poplar Springs Church but soventy of the regiment gathered around its colors, and of them four were killed When we come to go over the rolls of this regi- | ment, we find that in a few months it lost 201 killed, 515 wounded and 86 by death in prison or from disease incurred by hardships; that out of 1,052 enlistments 802 men had in nu Jess than one y after enlistment been killed, wounded or had died; that is, four out of every five of the men who gathered around the flag in April, 1364, in all the pride of their vigorous youth, were, before the year ended, either moldering in shallow graves in_ Virginin’s soil | or dragging out lives of pain and privation re- sulting from wounds received in action. ANOTHER REGIMENT. The fifth New York volunteers, Duryeo Zouaves. the regiment in which I had the honor of serving, was caught in the cyclone of battle at Second Bail Run, and, in the endeavor to stay the progress of the rebels, lost 297 killed, | wounded and missing within tenminutes. This | was more than 50 per cent of the entire number taken intoaction. The first Maine heavy artillery | at Petersburg out of 990 men taken into a charge lost 632 killed and wounded. To all those who would say that the monthly stipend received by our country’s defenders in the late considering also that it was paidin a de- | ted currency, was in full of all demands, | , put yourself in their pixcex and take their | chances. If this was compensation for the loss | of arm or leg, or for shattered health, then must be put aside all appeals to patriotism in | time of country’s danger. Let it be known that no emergency is sufficient to draw from lucrative vocation or well-paid toil, that against the assured income and full \ pEree mast the government compete for its soldiers, that for all the risks of camp and field the soldier will be held to his contract, then will be repressed all that which holds most dear the home, flag and country; and at best an army of hirelings would stand between them and dis- honor. To all those who join in this hue and cry against pensions I would say, however large the amount seems. that it is infinitesiumlly small as compared with the stupendous de- velopment of our country within the past thirty years, all of which is largely due to the Union defender. It is possible that it would have been preferable, as far as THE “NG PENSION” CRY is concerned, that the rebellion should have remained unconquered, with the country in in- dependent fragments and a standing army con- suming its substance. To all such I would say, be patient. The burdens under which you roan will soon be removed. Twenty-five years m now will be seen the scanty remnant of a once magnificent army, composed of the youth of our country, tottering to the grave, with their glorious services only a memory. Give pause to your mutterings, for time will not helt in giving you your desires. To my comrades Isay, take courage. By the graves of those who stood by you should come afresh to your minds not only the duty you owe to them, but to those living, left to your "care and m: a duty ‘equal in ite sacredness to that which you are carrying out today. I would be recreant to my Undertaking if this occasion weresuffered to pass without calling Zour, attention again and again to the needs an: of those near and dear to us. Stand together and with fraternal ties tightly bound go to the grave as to battle, shoulder to shoulder. To the children, also, in whom are the hope and strength of the republic, though they mai Doast a father's glorious service apd are wit us to honor his memory or have ‘been led to join us because at mother's knees lessons have come of loyalty and duty, we present the les- sons of the day. ,To them and to their chil- dren's children should the memory and teach- ings of this event come with significant force. From the history of thirty ‘ago they have much to learn, though much of it — un- written. Let them, with charity toward ali and malice toward none, be taught that there is room for only one flag in this country, one glorious star spangled banner, that the cause for which their fathers fought was everlastingly and eternally right, and then we need have no fear for the stability of our institutions or per- petuity of our republic. ON VIRGINIA’S SOIL, Decorating the Graves of Union Dead at Culpeper. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Cunrrren, Va. May 30.—A train left the Baltimore and Potomac depot at Washington at 8:30 o'clock this morning, carrying a party of about fifty gentlemen and ladies bound for Cul- Peper, with the patriotic purpose of decorating the graves of about 1,300 Union soldiers in the National cemotery at this place. The party was weli supplied with flowers. It was in charge of Col. Dan A. Grosvenor, who ized the trip, the success of which is due to the efforts of himself and assistants, chief of whom were Past Commanders Burke and Odell. ‘The occasion was marked by ppropriato ceremonies. The musical portion of the pro- gram was rendered by Messrs. Grosvenor. Bur- bank, Hodes and Graham, composing the High Kehool Quartet, and by Ly ob W. Sutherin of the East Palestine (Ohio) L. An original poem wss read by Prof. D. J. Evans of Washington, who has officiated ina similar ity at Arlington and other ceme- teries in the vicinity of Wasbi: and an eloquent address was delivered by Col. D. A. Grosvenor. a COL, GROSVENOB’S ORATION. After briefly ontlining the origin and incep- tion of theG. A. R and telling why it is and for what purpose it exists, Col. Grosvenor re- ferred to the terrible scenes that were being enacted on the grounds where the Nationalcem- etery now is thirty years ago. He drew a vivid and thrilling picture of the theater of war in and around Culpeper thirty years since. Broth- ers’ hands were red with the blood of brothers and the death roll of either the bine or the gray was being mourned in both northern and south- ern households. The war of the rebellion had to be; the curse of human slavery had 80 fas- tened its poisonous fangs into the nation’s vitals that nothing but bloody war could eradicatethe poison. He claimed that the results were in accord with the will of God, who ever over ruled the destiny of nations. a material difference stirring times from '61 to '65 are viewed youth and rising generation of our land. important that lasting lessons of loyelty country ard one fing should be taught ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the Union soldier praise above his enemy because he was on the right side. He accorded praise and honor to the south- ern soldiers for their bravery and endurance, but the Union soldiers must be honored for all nd the further fact that they saved the ion and made self-government an assured fact. . The speaker claimed the right on this dar (Memorial day) to speak plainly and say ail that was in his ‘mind for the dead, the living and our country. To his mind there had never since the war been reason to question the in- dividual motives ef those who faced each other in that strife. The fact that they rieked their lives for their cause put an end to discussion as to the sincerity of that ‘pose, The speaker refe t length to the pros- perity of the country since the war, and the rapid advance of prosperity in the ‘southern states and the great strides of .education, in- vention and moral advancement brought about by the war. Col. Grosvenor forcibly con- trasted the condition of the country in 1861 with 1893, claiming the better condition of our country from every standpoint, and, of course, claiming it all from the results of the war brought about by the Union soldier, He admonished his comrades that the love of country and duty to the government of the Union must rise above party, and asked that the Union soldier demand that the touchstone of political preferment should be honesty and ity, and asked his comrades to stand bj each other and place civil service on the bi plane that they bad placed loyalty and union in the education and purity of heart and the love of the people. He closed with a beautiful eulogy to the commonwealth of Virginia, and touchingly re- ferred to the great men of the state, and how grandly she. stood by the cradle of liberty and proudly clai: reat men as bel to The whole country, aud, in Deuutfel, neg admonished them’ that we cannot tive in the memories of the past, but must take fast hold of the car of progress and march to the music of a united and prosperous country. \ RETURN TO WASHINGTON. The party will return to Washington this evening about 7:30 o'clock. Seder Chinese Labor Wanted in Brazil. A Cincinnati special says: C. A. Carlisle of Brazil has been in this in New York this week on his way to China, where he goes to engage 100,000 Chinamen annually for a term of years to work on the coffee plantations of Brazil. Since the emancipation proclamation of Dom Pedroit is impossible to get workmen in Brazil. It is estimated that $10,000,000 were lost to the government last year by the inability of the planters to gather the coffee berries. ‘Bra- zilian government will aid the scheme, anda treaty will be negotiated to protect the China- men secured, Aline of steamers has been en- gaged and will start from Rio with sugar, coffee, cocoa and rubber and bring back rice, coal and evolies. —— The New Port of Tunts Opened.
