THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG,' PA. 7 WHY WIlEIMUTK. WE FIRST HELPED ESTABLISH BRIT ISH GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA. Rat IVIitn It Icm 0tprrlT tiy Rr Hon nf nnrilnnsom Tmntlon and Otho TlilnKd th Colon lU Knt L p National I Ntanrtard of Their Own. In 1703 th peace of Fontslneblea was glgnod. Tb French hud been driven from the American sboros and England shthed the t word of conquest. The passHge of the "Stamp Act" In 1781 Incensed the colonists and called lorth that patrlotio burst of eloquence from Tatriuk Henry which afterward became so ronowned. Washington felt the approach of the gathering war cloud, and returned to Mount Vernon from the House of Burgesses filled with gloomy forebodings. The British Got eminent became alarmed at the temper of America, and, as a matter of concili ation, repealed the "Stamp Act" This was in March, 17C6. But the tax on tea and other merchandise followed, and two rogimenta of English regulars wete sent across the water to intimidate the colonists. This was adding insult to injury. The Virginia Assembly de nounced Parliament for imposing taxos without allowing representation, and bold resolves were mude, declaring that the taxing po wer should be vested alone ia the colonists. Lord Botetort, the sew Governor, who had set np his court in great splendor in Virginia, heard of these daring denunciations, lie sumnioued the council to his audi ence chamber, and, in a haughty man hut, dissolved the State Assembly, Tboy then convened in a private dwell ing, and at this meeting Washington presented a "draft of an association to discountenance the use of all British merchandise taxed by Parliament to raise a revenue in America." Every member signed it, and a printed copy of the draft was scattered broadcast over the country. It was everywhere ap plauded. "Non- Importation Associa tions" sprang up in all the colonic. British commerce felt this action, and petitions from British merchants, for th repeal of the taxes, poured into Fsrilamont. Lord North, at this time England's Prime Minister, removed the importation duties on all articles except tea. That, he said, must be continued in order to establish "the authority of the mother country." Thus events drifted forward, bring ing in their wake the birth- throes of a great nation. The Boston Tea Party, disguised as Indian, boarded the Eng lish ships at night and emptied the tea chests into Boston harbor. In return, insulting decrees were fulminated from the throne, declaring that Massachusetts should no longer have a voice in the selection of her rulers, and that the port at Boston should be closed. In Virginia, the House of Burgesses was broken np by Lord Dunmore, the Colo nial Governor appointed by the crown. Publlo indignation against these tyr annies flamed forth everywhere. Let ters came from Boston to Williamsburg recommending a league of the colonies and the suspension of trade with Eng land. The day on which the "Boston Port Bill" was to be enforced was ob eerved with fasting and prayer. Flags were at half-mast and funeral bells wore tolled. The colonists became rapidly convinced that nothing would satisfy the cruel despotism of George the Third save their slavish submission, This could not be given. And so the war crisis approached usurer and more near. Patriot brows grew thoughtful and patriot hearts res olute as the danger defined itself. The first Continental Congress met in Phila delphia, September S, 1774, and Wash ington was a delegate from Virginia. Be had ooine there on horseback from Meant Vernon in oompany with Patrick Henry and Edmund Pendleton. In that time of sublime funion of souls, when all were drawn into concerted action by a common, heroic purpose, no one, among that distinguished assembly of great minds, exhibited a loftier patriot ism, a nobler enthusiasm, or more self sacrificing spirit than the country's future beloved Gen xal. "It is useless," said Patrick Henry at the Richmond convention, "to address further petitions to the British Government, or to rwait the effect of those already addressed to the throne. We must fight I I repeat it, we must fight I An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us." The question which now swept Congress and hovered with anxious yortaiit on all lips was, "Who shall be commander -in chief of the united arrniwf John Adams had the honor to firs propose George Washington for this position, "A gontleman," he said, "whose skill and experience as an officer, whose independent fortune, grtat talouts, and excellent universal character would command the appro bation of all America, and unite tbo cordial exertions of all the colonies, better than any other person in the Uuiou." The vote, which was given by ballot, was found to be unanimous for Washington. 11 u received his commission on the SH-'Lij of June, and the uext day set out from Philadelphia for the army. He v.h accompanied by Generals Lee and Schuyler, and an escort of Philadelphia tioopt Twenty miles outside the city they w0it met by a flying courier with the news of the battle of Bunker Hill. Washington listened breathlessly, and v;hou told of the herolo behavior of the Americans, exclaimed with emotion: "The liberties of our country are safel" From this tiimi onward, lor eight long, suffering yaars, until April, 1783, thewnr of the American Revolution dragged its slow length along, and the hisioiy of General Washington is so interwoven with the struggle that omi tauiot be written without the other. The mumier in which the siege of Mtou was conducted, tnninating in Uowo's precipitate retreat, has been wg;irded by military judges as a mas torly achievement. A GLORIOUS EMBLEM. Varlnn Knrf ring from wtil.h "Old Cilery" TV! Erolrad. On Saturday, June 14, 1777. Congress passed a resolution "that the flag of the thirteen States be thirteen stripes, alter nate rod and white; that the union) be thirteen stars, white in blue field, rep resenting a ew constellation." Ten millions of the Stars and Stripes will flaunt their gay colors to the breoze next Saturday, They will wave down on the street, up in the dizzy heights of cloud piercing poles; in the hands of babios and gray bearded men; on the patient cart horse; on bicycle and street car; far out on the Atlantic and Pa cific, in the great soa ports of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia; in every soa and ocean the world over ; on the prairie and in the crowded city, Indoors and out. The Red, White and Blue will adorn the earth and the people of all climes will know that the Fourth of July means much to the 70,000,000 peo ple who compose the United States. Much of a definite character pertain ing to the origin of the Stars and Stripes has boen lost in the comparatively brief space of time which has elapsed since the inception of the flag. Who origi nated tht design is a matter of conject ure, and this fact, or lack of fact, has been seized upon by fanciful minds to weave many pretty stories. Every schoolboy is familiar with the dainty tale describing the vision cf the future flag of the nation in the heavens; the patch of bue with the silver stars gloaming brightly and the long streaks of red and light gray sky. For many years prior to the Revolu tion it was a matter of pride with each of the colonies to float some flag other than that of Groat Britain, and as a re sult there were inary different kinds of flags flying about in the country. At first these flags bore the cross of St. George or some oth-r English symbol, but as the time advanced those gave way to various dovices symboli. al of liberty. In June of 1778 Washington, accom panied by a committee of Congress, called upon Mrs. John Ross, a widow and an upholsterer at No. 239 Arch street, Philadelphia, and sitting in the little parlor in the back of the shop, commissioned her to make a flag for the new nation. The committee bad a drawing of the kind of flag wanted, but this was not intelM(.ible to the widow, so General Washington sat down and made a rough sketch of the des'gn. In due time the flag was mado, with the Stars and Stripes, j'lst as it looks to day, except that th- re were only thir teen stars. This fl"g was made a year before it was officially adopted by Congress. HIGH ART IN FIREWORKS. Beautiful and Contly Devices for Vaa on the Fourth. Here's a new complaint against the bicycle. ' In its resistless course it has been rnnning down other trades one after another, and now the fireworks' manufacturers are up in arms against it. Prospects are dismal, they say. This year's Fourth t f July will probab ly blow over with 1 ss of smoke, ambu lance calls, and general old fashioned hilarity than any preceding celebration of the great American Kick. One fireworks company manufactures a set apiece, "Agrioulturo," at $1,350, "Manufactures" cost $675, and a triple column and stars with the Q. A. R. badge $600. Other fancy high-priced special pieces are the train of cars, $500; G. A. R, badge, $325; firemen with en gine and hoso, $3ft0; George Washing ton on horseback, extra large, $240, and the soldier figure and sailor figure, $235 each. All these are of heroio size. Of the regulation set pieces, designed for any and all occasions, the highest price, $120, is charged for a very elaborate piece called tlio Girandole. "Dazzling Diamonds," another very large piece, comes at $205, the Pleiades, extra large at $200; the extra large Gothic cross at $180, and there are a score of other pieces which cost above $100 each.
