An Armenian paper published in New
York expresses itself in the following
language concerning the Hispano-
American conflicts:
"War! war; warl This Ia the univer-
sal cry. The sun OF victory and glory
will soon arise upon America. Old Uncle
Sam, like young man of 20, has set
to work with courage and energy. His
brawny arms are stretching toward
tortured cuba. AT sight of this the
merciiess Spnniard will fold his hang
mans flag, and, tucking II IN his
bosom. will return to Europe. Where
the weak and oppressed are, there is
right; and where right is, there Is vic
tory. After the massacres in Armenia
we were compelled to come to the sad
conclusion that the word right had
been abolished from earth, and force
had been put in Its place. The mer-
cenary powers of Europe permitted bar
barism to crush the hapless Armenlans.
while they themselves washed their
hands like PLATE; and some also
wanted to cruelty us. Yesl Justice and
right are cruclfled, but they die only TO
rise again. And in this resurrection
Uncle Sam is the angel who rolls away
the stone from the tomb. All honor and
glory to a nation that will shed her
blood In the name of oppressed justice!"

A BEAUTIFUL CANTATA.

The dramatic cantata ''Jephthah and
his daughter, was very successfully
given at the Shiloh Baptist church
Friday evening March 4th 1898.
his very pleasing entertainment
was gotten up by Mrs. Mollie Nj. Smith
who deserves unlimited praise for her
keeping together such splendid array
of talent. Mr.. VIM. c. Elklns was the
musical director and the precise ex-
eCutlon of the choiuseS and solos was
due to his excellent Interpretation.
The principal characters were taken
by Mesdames Lula Joy Brooks as
"lphegeni" whose superb soprano
showed to good effect In the solo;
"Now slowly sinks my setting sun
Mrs. Mollle Smith IN the role of Adah
rendered her part well, her unique ap-
pearance ON the stage completely cap
tlvaring the appreClative audience
while leading the maidens in "Trip
ping where Sunbeams play"
Mr.. Emmett L. Jones had the title
role 'Jephthah" and a better rendi-
ton OF tnat part could scarcely be
performed and he deserved the great
applause he received.
Mr.. Elkins as prophet" rendered
his solo with ease In good voice his
makeup OF that character making him
almost unrecognlzable so well was it
done.
The piano work of Miss Jeannettta
Taylor was par excellent as was the
cornet work of MIR. Jacob Fielder.
The entire chorus was attlred in
neatly made gowns and turbans ap-
proprlate to ancient time and present
ed grand appearance. A large au-
dlence was present and no doubt
handsome amount was realized for the
church.
a large number of prominent musl-
cal persons were noted in the audience.

DEMAS THEIR CHOICE.

1t is evident that Hon. Henry
Demas is the choice of the repub-
lican party in New Orleans, not
withstanding the opposition of a
few oily white" and black repub-
leans in the state who opposed his
confirmation. We are very much
surprised to learn that speaker
Reed was a party to the opposition
OF Mr.. Demas. 1t will not help
him any among the people on
whom Mr.. Reed may some day
be compelled to depend. We
thought Mr.. Reed was above petty
jealousies. We thought him to be
too great man to join in with the
oily white" element IN the state
of Louisiana to defeat the nomina
ton of a colored man.
Whether successful or defeated
Mr.. Demas will hold the leader
ship of his state and If Mr.. Rec
has any political aspirations TO
the Presidency, he had better no
look to the state of Louisiana or an
other southern state in which th
negro holds power. The people O
louisiana love Mr.. Demas. The
honor andrespect him and as an ey
idence of what we say review Q
the letters written by the leadln
men in the state will convince th
most skeptical.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

In DIsFAvoR WITH SOUTHERN DEM
oCRATS.-HIS APOLOGIES GAIN HIM
NOTHING. HIS ADVICE DISCEDITED.
Mr.. Booker T. Washington, the
noted negro southern apologist and
president of the Tuskegee Industrial
Institute, is not so popular among
southern white people as one would
suppose. A school teacher from
Chambers, Ala, who has besn con-
slant visitor at the Tuskegee school,
and is now in this city on a visit, says
among other things, that the white
democrats in whose interest Mr..
Washington is always speaking and
for whom wrongs against the negro,
he is continually apologizing, in ad-
dressing the students one time said:
You must treat white farmers with
respect; you must be moral; you must
get money and property and then
these white farmers will take you into
their houses" A deep groan was
heard from one of the white farmers
in the audience.
A little chap from one of the upper
counties arose and said: "Mr. Wash
ington you have all those things, why
don't they receive you"?
On another occasion, Mr.. Washing
ton and one of his teachers visited a
white church, the colored churches
were not good enough for them. They
would always sit back In the corner or
extreme end of the church. They
were told by the white sexton, that
they must get up and get. This is the
story as it was told by a teacher in
Alabama to Rec representative on
wednesday, who is a frequent visitor
of the Tuskegee school.

NEGRO INDEPENDENCE

From the Fort Worth, (Texas) Item.
The Washington BEE might have
saved the ire of hundred colored ed
itors if it had said that the CoIored
american hasn't the courage to ex-
press its honest opinions. That is all
it meant in naming only four real cour-
ageous negro editors in this country.
Our esteemed contemporary has
rightly put what The BEE meant.
There are but a few negro editors
who have the courage of their con-
viction. They are a class of pusil.
Luminous towards and toadies. We
need editors who have nerve and
courage.
The Washington bee., 1898-03-12

If the editor of the Colored
American would devote a little
space to original matter and take
out some of its stale. plates, it
would not have so much space to
give The BEE. We still aver that
at least two-thirds of the negro ed
itors in this country are towards
and full of demogogism. They
have no opinion of their own.

PURELY CIVIL SERVICE !?

From the Evening Star.
The Secretary of the Interior this
afternoon appointed Dr. Austin NJ
Curtis of Chicago surgeon-in-chief of
Freedmen's Hospital, vice DIR. Daniel
II. Williams, resigned.
This was purely civil service ap-
pointment. DIR. Curtis being one of
three names certified by the civil
service commission. DIR. Curtis was
born of colored parents January Is,
1866, at Raleigh, n. {. He graduated
in 1891 from the Northwest Medical
School of the Chicago Medical Col
lege, and served as inferno and house
physician in Providence Hospital from
April 1891, to June, 1892 and was OBJ
stetrician at the same hospital from
December, 1892, TO December 1894,
and since that time TO present date
has been surgeon of the same hospital
He was also attending surgeon of
Cook County City Hospital from Jam
uary, 1896 to 1897.
DR.. Curtis will assume his new
duties April next.
AS will be seen by the news item
from the Evening Star, DR.. A. M.
Curtis of Chicago, H., has been
appointed to succeed DIR. ID. IL.
Williams, who resigned.
DIR. Williams candidate was DR..
West. He stood the highest examr-
nation of any of the competitors,
DIR. Curtis not excepted. If the
Secretary of the Interior intended
to confine himself to the eligible
list according to the rating of the
civil service examination, DIR.
Shadd or Francis, from their hos
pital experience should be entitled
to the appointment. DIR. Curtis,
We are confident. did not stand
a higher examination than young
West, although We hold to the
first opinion that DR.. West did
not have the hospital experience,
although he may be fully compe-
tent to run the institution. DIR.
Curtis appointment is political
one and nothing more, having
been backed by Senators Mason
and Collum. DR.. Curtis wife
made a lively campaign for him
and it is to her, credit should
be given for the success of her hus-
band. She is pleasant talker and |
a lady of intelligence. The Secre. |
tary of the Interior had but little
respect for DR.. Parvis, who should
have been appointed under rule
10, he having served with distlnc-
tion in the army. DR.. Curtis an
pointment is purely political and

How to Make butter.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Will you or some of the readers Of your
paper tell us at what temperature milk
should be kept while being churned so
as to get the butter in the shortest length
Of time? and oblige. SUBSCRIBER.
Ferrum, Va
No direct answer can be given TO this
question, because so much depends upon
the varying conditions, such as the sea-
son OF the year, the general temperature
Of the atmosphere, the milking period
of the COW, the food OF the COW, and the
way in which the milk has been treated
before churning.
The question indicates that the whole
milk is TO be churned, and that it is con-
sidered more important to get butter from
it quickly than to get all the butter. This
indicates local and rather exceptional re-
quirements, which do not conform to the
improved methods Of dairying. It is poor
economy TO churn whole milk for butter
making, and as a rule more butter can
be obtained from the same quantity of
milk or cream, and better butter by
churning a considerable length Of time
than by doing the work quickly.
II good butter, and the most Of It pos
sible, is the end desired, the cream should
be separated from the milk by some of
the well-known processes, should be then
kept by itself long enough to ripen, or
get into good condition for churnlng.
and during this time should be kept at a
temperature Of between so and 60 degrees. |
and then churned at 60 degrees or less
The oldfashioned rule was SO degrees
for the cream while churnng But the
action of the churn warns up its con-
tents little, so that so degrees will do
for the starting-point in cool weather. In
warm weather lower temperature Is
desirable, and some OF the best butter
makers now churn their cream as low as
10 degrees, and from that upwards. taking
from 20 minutes to an hour or more.
to get the butter.

Cornerstone Laying.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please tell me what churches have Cor
ner-stone-layings" by the Masons, and
what is the intent OF the service.
Yours respectfully, a MINISTER.
Dendron. Va.
So far as we are Informed, every re-
llgious denomination. except the Catholic
and the Friends. have the corner-stones
OF their houses Of worship laid with
Masonic ceremony. That this should be
done by "Masons" is a concession on
their part TO the antiquity OF an order
which for centuries from the building of
King Solomon's Temple was composed OF
operative as well as speculative workmen.
That It should be done at all is because:
From the earliest ages Il was a custom
to set up stones to commemorate i'm
portant eyents-as by Jacob. Joshua, and
Samuel. These stones were declared
witnesses" as Joshua says. Behold this
stone shall be a witness unto US" &c
The cornerstone Of a building is followed
as an tmperishable receptacle for a his
tory Of the building, fits object, &c, and
other contemporary data.
Among many Christians It IS recognized
as a beautiful symbol Of Him to whom the
apostle speaks: 1.-THE stone which The
builder refused is become the headstone
IF the corner; and, again, For other
can no man lay than that is
aid, which is Jesus Christ"

bankruptcy and Negotiable Notes.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
VIII you kindly answer the following
questions:
II A gives b a negotiable note, without
Offset homestead waived, and y trans
fers the note TO me, and A takes the
bankrupt law, can / collect the amount
out Of the growing crops, IL the property
Of A fails 70 pay his Indebtedness? A
owns a farm; can the rent Of the farm
be made to pay my debt. II l get a
judgment? G.
The case being as stated: A having filed
his petition in bankruptcy. surrenders all
his property real and personal, into the
hands of an assignee In bankruptcy, to
be held by him. subject to orders of the
United States District Court. for the bene-
fit of all his creditors.
Everything is given up by him, and
when he is "adjudged a bankrupt" he is
relieved from all his Indebtedness. And
so the holder Of AS note can get nothing
Of his claim except his ratable share of
the proceeds of sale of the banluupt's
effects, which will be paid him by the
assignee under orders Of court.
The assignee in bankruptcy holds AS
effects I'm the same way that a trustee
holds in a trust deed for the benefit of
creditors. except that in bankruptcy no
creditors are preferred
But might be able to get his judgment
on the assigned note against A and have
it levied on the personal property OF a
before he (A) can so into bankruptcy
under the late act.
