Two companies have been organ ized in Bloomsburg and their ser vices have been offered to the gov ernment, and every effort has been made to get them accepted, but thus far without avail. About twenty young men from this county have gone into the army, but they have had to go to Danville, Wilkes- Birre, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other places to enlist. Why is it that no company is called from Columbia county ? There are many who are anxious to go, and the patriotism and loyalty of our people cannot be questioned or doubted. Should the war terminate without the acceptance of organized troops from here, it must not be placed against us that we had no hand in defeating the Spaniards. It will not be our fault. Are there any politi cal influences at work to prevent Governor Hastings from calling on this county for troops, or is it be cause the offers of troops have been greater than the demand ? We are informed that several hundred com panies have offered themselves. There are but 18 companies needed to fill the quota, and there are 26 counties that have no companies in the field, and this may be the rea son why we have not been called upon. Our boys are ready and anxious to go, and we hope they may be given an opportunity. PRESIBENT'S PROCLAMATION President McKinley last week issued the following proclamation : To the people of the United States of America : v At this time, when to the yet fresh remembrance of the unprece dented success which attended the operations of the United States fleet in the Bay of Manila on the first day of May last, are added, the tidings of the no less glorious achievements of the naval and mili tary arms of our beloved country at Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting that we should pause, and staying the feeling of exultation that too natur ally attends great deeds wrought by our countrymen in our country's cause, should reverently bow before the throne of Divine grace and give devout praise to God, who holdeth the nations in the hollow of his hands and worketh upon them the marvels of his high will, and who has thus far vouchsafed to us the light of his face and led our brave soldiers and seamen to victory. I, therefore, ask the people of the United States upon next assembling lor divine worship in their respec tive places of .meeting to offer thanksgiving to Almighty God, who in his inscrutable ways ; now leading our hosts upon the waters to unscathed triumph, now guiding them in a strange land through the dread shadows of death to success, even though at a fearful cost ; now bearing them without atcident or loss to far distance climes, has watched over our cause and brought nearer to success of the right and the attainment of just and honorable peace. With the nations thanks let there be mingled the nation's prayers that our gallant sons may be shielded from harm alike on the battlefield and in the clash of fleets, and be spared the courage of suffering and disease while they are striving to uphold their country's honor ; and withal let the nation's heart be stilled with holy awe at the thought of the noble men who have perished as heroes die, and be filled with compassionate sympathy for all those who suffer bereavement or endure sickness, wounds and bonds by reason of the awful struggle. And above all; let us pray with earnest fervor, that He, the Dispen ser of all good, may speedily remove from us the untold afflictions of war and bring to our dear land the blessings of restored peace, and to all the domain now ravaged by the cruel strife the priceless boon of security and tranquillity. WILLIAM M'KINLEY, Executive Mansion. The independent voters in Penn sylvania who wish to put an end to machine government in the State and yet refuse to meet halfway 450,000 of their fellow-citizens, who offer them an irreproachable candidate on a satis factory platform, are very much in the position of Sampson's war ships, which are shooting their shells over the hills at an invisible city. They are wast ing their ammunition. They should join the Democratic army in a direct assault, and make George A. Jenks the next Governor of Pennsylvania.— Record. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is already being boomed for Governor of New York. Campaign buttons bearing the picture of the Colonel in full uniform have made their an pearance. The inscription on the button is : "For Governor, Theo dore Roosevelt." THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA Praise For Our Army. Major De Grandprey, Military Attache of the French Embassy, has just returned to Waslpngton from the American headquarters, near Santiago, where he lias been observing for his government the progress of military operations. He paid a glowing tribute to the fight ing ability of our soldiers. "I have the most complete ad miration for your men," he said. "They are a superb body, individu ally and as an army, and I supjxxse not throughout the world is there such a splendid lot of fighting men. It is the fighting characteristic of the men which is most apparent. They are aggressive, eager for ac tion, never needing the voice of an officer to push them forward. "Another marked characteristic is the self reliance of each man ; what we call the character of 'initi ative.' It is almost unknown in European armies, where every movement and the move to meet each action of the enemy awaits the initiative of an officer. But with your men they fight to the front, meeting each emergency as it arises, overcoming obstacles by their own initiative. Such self-reliant fighting men make an exceptionally impetu ous army, for every unit contributes in the irresistible onward movement. "The Spanish troops do not have this same characteristic. They are more passive, more cautious. Be sides the impetuosity of such fight ing material, it has the effect of in spiring a morale among the troops, making them feel that success is asaured, and at the same time carry ing disorder and depression to the ranks of the enemy." Dun & Oo.'s Review. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says : The usual half yearly statement of failures by branches of business is pe culiarly interesting because it shows that war and fears of war 'have not caused increase of commercial disas ters. The fiscal year has ended with | financial results a shade beyond gen | eral expectations, and the new war | tax begins to increase revenue, not seriously disturbing business in any | line. The cotton crop looks better and the prospect is reflected in a decline of a sixteenth in the spot price. There is no disheartenment in other textile manufactures and business is good and growing in silks, baggage, hemp products and linen. The manufacture of wool hesitates, although a distinctly better demand has appeared during the last ten days, because prices at ivhich western wool is held are too high tor profitable manufacture. Strong Today Because Hood's Sarsaparilla Built Up His System Child Was Weak, Had Night Sweats and Poor Appetite. "Our youngest child wu In a bad con dition. One physician said the trouble was malaria and another thought It came from the atomaoh and liver. Meantime the ohlld kept growing weaker.
