THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

The President of the United States
has issued a call for 125,000 volunteers,
TO be chosen first from the National
Guardsmen. The call should meet with
practically an instant response. In the
ranks Of the National Guard of the
several States is found the flower
of the patriotic strong young men
of the nation. They have some ex-
perience with arms, are trained to
some extent in field duty, and there
fore can be more readily and cas-
Iy brought up to that degree Of eff
cient skill as soldiers which is essential
in this day of improved arms and new
methods of battle.
In fact, there has been ready for some
days a great body of men prepared and
listed, ready to respond to the call for
volunteers. We anticipate, therefore,
that the call will be filed at once, and
that as many more ready men will ask
TO be taken into the service of the ma
tion as are needed. These accepted
men will be, it is understood, at once
placed in a camp of instruction, and be
rapidly prepared for service. Just
where this will be performed no one
can at this time say, but the proba-
bilities are that it will be of three or
ders Of service-in Cuba and on the
nearby American shores, while some
few bodies of volunteers will be sent to
Notifications from which regular troops
have been recently called.
The eagerness with which the call has
been looked for, the quick response that
is being made to it, the celerity with
which it viii be filed, the clamor of
the thousands in excess of the number
asked for, are splendid evidences Of the
American spirit, the loyalty of the men
of the nation, and the trust they re-
pose in those at the head of Govern
ment affairs.

pired, and it looks as if the frenzy
would continue over the limit fixed by
Mr.. Reed. But war is upon us, and
while it will sober a good many hot
heads and cool a good deal of heated
blood, it will strengthen conservative
men and give to the guidance of the
nation the steadiness and wisdom that
should be exerted to bring the war to
the speediest possible close, and secure
the restoration of peace without any
loss of national honor or any injury to
the humane spirit in which the Presi-
dent proposes to wage it. The thing
to do now is to stand by the President
and give him all encourag cement. He
can be trusted to act with prudence,
and to do nothing to prolong the con-
fict, that can with reason and justice
be avoided. The nation must come out

Cuba and secure to her people an in
dependent and stable Government. He
will spare every drop of American blood
that is possible to be saved. He will
wage a war of mercy and humanity,

RUSSIA ALONE is FRIENDLY.
HER PAPERS SAY THAT THE
FRIENDLY RELATIONS
OF Many Years Exclude Every idea
of an Unfriendly Attitude
ON Her Part.

LONDON, April 24-With an impor-
tant exception there is general conti-
mental condemnation for the United
States to-day. The exception emanates
from Russia. The st. Petersburg Vie
domosti" speaking of Russias attitude
toward the United States, says:
"The friendship which has existed
for many years between the two States,
excludes every idea of an unfriendly
attitude on the part of Russia at the
present juncture."
The "Viedomosti'' adds: mo doubt
the United States now value this friend
ship more than ever

tinue their bitter hostility and the Lon
don Sunday papers contain many i'll
dications of unfriendliness. The Sun

P. O'Connor's signature, it warmly in
dorses America, in another paragraph,
referring to the Newcastle Chronicles"
attack on America, says:
Though it will be difficult for every
one to agree with him and especially
where the writer's vigor leads him to
partial blindness, regarding Spanish at
rocities, yet there are few in England
to-day who will not agree with his stern
denunciation of Americas shilly shally

other than the real one for the Cuban

DDS of dealing with Spain have excited
unanimous indignation. France will not
let Spain go down without a sustaining
hand. The considerations are that

of self-preservation the Monroe doctrine
must be combatted. The hundreds OF
millions of French capital invested IN
Spain must be protected and the Latin
race must be upheld against the Anglo
Saxon The army has been under

The Troy Times says that Can
ada's dislike for the United States is
more apparent than real; that, as a
matter of fact, the border line condi-
tions of New York prove that the poo-
pie of Canada and the United States
are very friendly. We trust that the
indication has a wider zone of truth
than the border line. Common selfish
ness would prompt the people near by
the border on both sides to be neigh
borly. That, therefore, is not a true
indication of the real sentiment of the
Canadas as a whole. However, we
believe that there are other evidences
which go to show that Canadians of
late years as a rule are much more
kindly disposed toward the United
States than they were ten years ago.
Canada is a very independent colony.
The sovereignty of the English crown
sits very lightly upon her, and she
makes friends and enemies rather re-
gardless of England's wish. Never
theless, the mother countrys example
has influence, and the Crowns late
manifestations for close relations with
the United States have unquestionably
operated upon Canadian sentiment
with considerable effect
