HO UOMPANY FROM OOLUMBiA
There have been two calls by the
President for volunteers for the war.
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.

"Our youngest child wu In a bad con
