A Saving Clause.

Editor Watterson, the scarch-light
of kentucky journalism. has discover
ed that nobody in the south need be
alarmed about the high price of wheat
or the manner in which tina produce
gamblers pitch that price up whenever
they please.
The brilliant and oftiucs level
headed editor says:
The high price of wheat and flour
is hard on the pockets of the house
keeper, but it need not hurt anybody
What the matter with cornbread?
Properly cooked, it isa most palatablc
and nourishing article of diet, and the
only wonder is that its use is not
more general. 1t is more digestlble
than the whcatcn loaf and is equally
adapted to the requirements of the
laborer and the man Of scdentary
habits. The negro farm hand in the
south lives and works the year round
on bacon and corn 'rone, and there
is no more vigorous man than he. y
little more cornbread and a little less
of dyspcptic biscuit would be real
gain to the nation. let us sell our
wheat abroad and DIN in consuming
that grain which iourshes here in its
greatest perfection. No working man
need suffer because the price OF Hour
has gone 50 high.
True. No swccter bread than that
made of corn meal, none better for the
physical comfort and strength OF man
has ever been devised. Judgment
and skill are required TO make the
best cornbread and cggbrcad. but
those qualities are possessed by
every housewife and cook in the south.
If the wheat manipulators continue to
play football with the material for
biscuit, let us snap our fingers at them
and devote ourselves as people to
the bread of which corn mcal is the
main ingredient. Ii can be made INTO
hundred tempting, palatable and
wholesome forms 1t is cheap and
there is no better food obtalnab!c.-

A Palmetto Prophet.

Ex-Judgc T. j. Mackey was in
Washington last week, where the wise
men and warrior leaders of the nation
were, more or less, gathered together.
A dispatch gives his predictions, in
Producing him as Captain Thos. j.
Mackey, a captain of engineers in the
Confederate army, who did splendid
service in the construction OF the for
tifcations at Richmond and other
points, says that in 1866 he made a
thorough examination of MORO Castle,
and the plans thereof, drawn by him,
are in the war department: Judge
Mackey will no doubt go to Cuba IN a
very short time as an engineer in the
United States army, and he has been
endorsed by numerous ex-Confederate
officers, as we'll as some of the best
known Union generals. He takes a
very different view of the probable
length of the conflict from that gener-
ally entertained.
"I think said he, that our war
with Spain will extend overa period OF
three or four years, and possibly much
longer. To achieve final victory we
will be forced to land an army on
Spanish soil, and that will bring on
the greatest battle in the annals OF
history. A quarter of million OF
men will be engaged on either side.
The taking Of Cuba and Porto Rico;
instead of marking the termination OF
the struggle, will only be in its incep-
ton, and the enemy is wise enough to
have discounted the loss of this terri
tory. Spain has a population OF l9,-
600, 600. and is Il war-like race. I'm
less we administer crushing blow on
their own soil they will not stop fight
ing for the next thirty years.

WAsluNGroN, May 15.-War de-
partmcnt officials are gratiGcd at the
progress made in mastering the force
Of 125 1000 volunteers called for by the
President. The reports received up
to this morning indicate that Ga, 600
volunteers have been mustered into
the United States army. and, in the
opinion of Adjt. Gen. Corbin, the
work Of mastering will be completed
by the end of the present week.
While some of the volunteers are we'll
equipped, the majority are not. Telc-
grams, that have been pouring into
the adjutant generals Office all day,
in response to orders directing volun-
tcers that have already been mustered
in to proceed to one or another Of the
points of mobilization, indicate clear
ly that the troops are by no means
ready for the field. One field COM
mandant wired the department that
his command was IN complete readl-
ness for service, except that he yet
lacked guns, gun carriages, horses.
ammunition and uniform. Many OF
the volunteers have gone into the
State camps without sufficient or
proper clothing.
Arrangements for the expedition to
the Philippines are being rapidly con
cluded by the war department. Re-
ports received up to late hour to:
night indicate that IL 800 men selected
for the expedition from volunteer
forces in the country west of the
Mississippi River, will be prepared to
move in few days. Adjt- Gen. Corbln
is Of the opinion that in the neighbor-
hood of II 900 of these will finally
qualify for the expedition.

I. Washington. Aprfl v.-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations had no regu-
lar nesting today. but members of the
committee came together informally ana
discussed the Cuban situation. While
there Is an appearance OF calmness every
where at the capitol yet the gravity OF
the situation is realized. No one seems
TO doubt that war is inevitable.
Discussion now is largely directed to-
ward the method of procedure, and there
are even now theories advanced rs to
how Cuba shall be governed. These dis
cussions relate to the form of declsra-
tion by Congress and the present oondi-
tion OF Cuba, together with what the
