Luders' Awful Moment.

Gustave Luders. the composer. has
a friend, d teacher of singing, to whom
there came a few days ago a woman
somewhat advanced in years to make
arrangements for vocal instruction,
says The Chicago Inter-Ocean. She
was accepted as a pupil, but at the Sec
ond lesson the conscientious instructor
felt it his duty TO inform the lady that
her ear was far from true. She receiv-
ed the remark, however, without the
slightest resentment, a she knew she
had slight vocal ability, but that she
was determined to pursue her course &c
its inharmonious end.
TT is hopeless, madam" protested
the musician at the conclusion OF the
third lesson. You are simply wasting
your time
1T doesn't matter" was the reply.
Il care nothing about music, but my
physician said that singing would helu
my dyspepsia immensely, So 1 deter
mined to take the lessons. Let Us

Old Fashioned Fighting.

When the now remote tocsiR of
peace is sounded and the smoke
clears SO that n coherent history of
the Far Eastern wal can be written.
it will be discovered that the clash
between Russ and Jap presented
features unique from any Of the mod
ern conflicts. From - sanguinary
standpoint alone it promises new
records, since the number of men
slain and disabled in single battles,
by the explosion of isolated mines or
~torpedoes n in individual charges
has mounted ZIP into figures which
approximate, where they do not ex-
coed. u own CHASTITY Civil war esti-
mates.
The one detail of desperate hand-to-
hand fighting, however, springs out
from the now incomplete picture with
the CORY familiarity of medieval
days, lei armored hosts flung
themselves on each other to hack and
hammer and slash with sword and
spear n battle az, until victory
perched on one of the opposing ban
ners. Reports from the battle Of
Lao aYng relate OF hordes of wound
ed Russians, officers and prirates,
borne into hospitals dying and disabled
from saber and bayonet thrusts. The
mighty impact of battle came to &C
tua h~and-to-hand fighting when, like
the warriors of old, men stepped out
OF the ranks to gag a foe sing!y.
thrusting and. parrying, cleaving and
being cleft. until death or exhaus-
ton or disability arbitrated the strife.
Another particular which wilt recall
ancient combat is that which deals
with the fanatic fighting of the q
talistic Nippons. Snrging forward into
what they knew to be certain death,
they fell by hundreds n thousands,
content if they could taxi a foe with
them to Valhalla, or impede with their
corpses for 4 moment the enemy's
advance. We even find extreme in
stances wherein privates, cut of
from their comrades and sure of fall
ing into the clutches of h enemy,
killed themselves rather than be i'm
INJURED, helpless to aid Japan in
Russian prisons. 1t makes one shud-
der to contemplate this fierce. half
insane brand of patriotism-but it is
the kind which make for victory,
| When. as in the case OF the Japanese
soldiers, it is alliel with strategy and
endurance, it is we'll nigh ~invincible.
In these respects, and otherS-which
might be named. the Far Eastern war
contrasts sharply with the Spanish
american conflict. These latter two
were characterized by a sort of gue--
rilla. l~ong-range fighting, save ir iso-
lated instances. While there was
probably as much earnestness in
either as in the Russian-Japanese
war, it is a curious fac mat the ra-
cial peculiarities Ct the participating

TIE oosr OF CLOTHING.

The New york World gives the fol-

item of expense of h~ouseholders as a
reply 10 the republican claim that hv-
ing is cheaper now than 1t was under

might have extend its statement TO

figures would have been in tie same

Thus on this single item the cost OF
living has increased by over rs per cent.
The increase amounts to $18.GS per
family on one branch Of outlay which
represents only about Is per OF

We are glad to see that the leaders
OF the democratic party in this state
have at last become aroused and realize
the importance of the party being up
and doing. There is no doubt about the
fact that there is work ahead for the
democrats if they wish TO keep North
Carolina in the column OF democraec
states. There Is no danger OF u par
ty being defeated in the approaching
election, but there is danger OF the
democratic party losing control OF THIS
state in years to come. Now, we Kho"
there are those who will laugh at SUCH
a statement. Nevertheless it is true
The ~we1l-informed men in this state to-
day will tell you that unless enort Is
made by the democrats, North Caroii-
ma in the next presidential year Will
he put down as a doubtful state. North
Carolina was an old whig state. she
went out of the Union with reluctance
and when the war was over many Oh
her citizens naturally gravitated TO-
ward the republican party-there are
those inhabitants of the western u
ties who were never brought face 70
face with the negro question. 1t mas
been hard work always to keep these
counties in the democratic ranks and
now that there is no demand upon them
to aid the eastern counties in keeping
the negro down We may look for them
to assert their independence Of party
rule. The democratic party today is
not near SO strong in this state as 1t
was when the battle cry was white
supremacy" That issue has passed.
The democratic party, by adopting the
constitutional amendment, did away
with that issue for ever, and in so do
ing weakened the hold of the party on
the people of his state Hereafter
the democrats must hold this state, not
by a single campaign cry as it did in
the days of threatened negro rule-but
by the supremacy of it's e and te-
nets for good government.
