The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-04-02
Mr.. Chairman and Ladies and Gentle

men:
East of Asia Minor, just west of the
Caspian sea, lies the Turkish province of
Armenia; n land of lofty mountains. of
people trace their origin back to that misty
borderland where history fades into tradi-
ton. Situated in the belt of country
where the contending forces of the East
and West have so often met in mortal
combat, it has furnished the battle ground
for almost all the nations of the world.
Almost from the time when Noah's ark
rested upon the summit of Mount Arrarat,
conquering army after conquering army
has marched under the shadow of its lofty
summit and in the valleys to the west
Assyrians, Parthians. Medes, Persans.
Greeks, Romans. Moguls. Tartars. Rus
slams. Turks, Pagans and Christians have
pitched their tents and built their bivouac
fires thousand times.
Time and again the hardy inhabitants
have met the invaders upon the threshold
of their country and fought for their in
dependence with bravery never sur
passed in the worlds history. and as each
successive invasion has passed they have
rebuilded their homes and resumed their
national life. The worlds history con-
tains no grander example of heroic endur-
ance and suffering than that presented by
the Armenians for the last 5000 wears.
1t was probably the first country to
adopt Christianity as national religion
and has been the most stubborn of the
provinces of Turkey in refusing to accept
the teachings of Mahommet During the
last Turko-Russian war,Armenia was oc-
cuped by the Russian army and in ac-
cordance with the peace which was after
wards agreed on by the nations of Eu-
rope the province was restored to Turkey,
good government and protection of its in
habitants being guaranteed by the pow
erS.
Every person is more or less acouaint-
ed with the awful massaCres of the I'M
armed and helpless inhabitants by Turks
and kurds during the past year. and how
the nations of Europe have ignored the
guarantee and squabbled over balance of
power while a whole people was being
murdered and eXterminated in their pres
ence.
The blood of more than 10000 Armeni-
ans cries to high heaven. and will not
cry i'll vain, for God in his own good time
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-04-02

Build the cotton mill. 1t is good thing,
now. 1t will be better thing 10 years

diyidual and add greatly to the wealth
of the community. Build the cotton mill.

committee. Consequently, he acted ON the
advice of The Times, and resigned that
appointment. The graceful thing to 90
under the circumstances is to let him Gown
as easily as possible. The humiliation of
being forced out of such preierment is a
q sufficient punishment.
Tie only regret sound money Democrats
have at this sensible action of Mr.. Wood
ward is the loss of opportunity afforded Mr..
Hannatorecognizethe atty to President
elect Mckinley. Their patriotic devotion to
the Republcancausemust now gounreward-
ed. Thehonor ofpresiding over theinaugural
festivities is no longer in their grasp But
why weep? Both Chairman Hanna and
Committeeman Parker demonstrated their
good intentions and if Mr.. Woodward had
not flunked-but why another flow of
tears?
The truth is that Mr.. Woodward had no
use for the appointment. He is business
man and needs customers more than he
does political office. Had he withdrawn
his name as soon as an opposition to his
appointment became manifest there would
have been no controversy over the Ques-
ton, but he waited to be elected from the
Republican Eden. It's too bad-really, too
bad. / is safe to say, however, that there
will be no interruption in the inaugural
program.
