Tbe married volunteer wbo reldroe from an experience of several months in camp, observes the Savannah Pre**, will not be very likely to grumble at bis wWe’e cooking lor some time to oome. It is said that th* Confederate Vol eras', the Bone of Veterans and the Daughter* ol the Confederacy have gone to work all over Georgia to in duce candidate* for the legislature to pledge tbemaelvea to vote for the ac ceptance and support of tbe Soldier*’ borne by tbe state. II that Is tbe de sire of tbe soldiers, we think tbe legi* laturo should, by all mean*, carry out their wishes in the matter.—Hawkin* villa Dispatch. ws—— The Spanish royal ensign captured by the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Regi ment of Volunteers in Porto Rico, ha* been taken to Washington and shown to President McKinley. For all any body knows or ever will know, it is tbe identical flag that Gen. Weyler, if be bad but bis way, would have hoisted over Washington alter bombarding Cbioago, according to bls plan*, which at one time during the late war were so frequently announced. It seems that wo shall bavo to do without a Cristobal Colan in our navy, unless we build one, says tbe Ssvaw nah News. Tbe reports are to tbe effect that Hobson's efforts have been unavailing, and that the Spanish wreck has been abandoned. A few o< the Colon’s guns will be saved, but that is about all. Tbe bulk, once the finest ship io the Spanish navy, will be a landmark for mariners and a reminder of a great fight for a few months, and then the ravaging sea will swallow it up forever. There io also a probability that tbe Teresa will have Io be abandoned.

Gould’s opinion that "we are on tho eve of an era of prosperity perhaps unprecedented in our history’’ may be worth more then, that of an ordinary forecaster, wbo is too often merely an ordinary guesser. Mr. Gould has immense business interests; he is especially identified with railroads which run through important sections of the grain-growing states on which so much of this country’* prosperity depends, and hi* eye is continually on tbe business barometer which indi cates tbs state Os trade, not merely in tbe United States, but in the whole world. Wbo more likely, then, than he to have early and accurate infer mation of coming prosperity or ad versity? Nor is be likely to make false reports for purposes of deception, because he would have no object in doing so. He is not a stock operator, wbo might find It to bis interest to is sue false statements at times Jor tbe purpose of affecting tbe market.— Philadelphia Ledger. Standing Army- The Nashville American after show ing the expense per thousand of main taining a standing army, which may be necessary to maintain law and order io tbe Philippines says: "But supposing we do not keep tbe Philippines the cry for a larger staod iog army is still going to have its supporters. It is a question which congress will be called on to settle,and there should be a free popular expres sion concerning it before tbe fall election*.
