The Democratic fcUato convention
meets on Thursday of next week and
there is intense interest in the result.
Nearly all the counties l ave held
their conventions mid it is known
that neither of the four candidates
for governor will have a majority on
tilts lirst ballot. The friends of both
Mai. Stedman and .Mr. (ileiin are
claiming that their fawuile will lead
m that ballot. The Stedmau men
seem to have the best claim to thai
listinction, but the vote will proba
bly be very close between them. Il
is said that Mr. Turner will have
over !!U0 votes at the start and Mr.
Davidsou in the neighborhood of
loo. it will reipiire tiS2 votes to
nominate. It is not probable that
idler candidate will pole over oOO
votes on the lirst ballot. Hut the
Stedman men are very sanguine of
success and say that .Major iStedm.in

Tlio Cost of Living.
I'ilei'.' is no iplcxtinti that more
ply iill'ccts the head of the family
than Hi" (fi.-t of liti.ig. It affects

Il li -.- at the bottom ol' all

tiling the fanner bins outside his
'arm, and il is iV, therefore, for
".i r- man to keep posted as well as
iiissible on this subject.
Few persons realize the vaiiatiolis
n the cost of living in the last forty
i hreo cars. In order lo determine
this, Dun's hate piepaied what is
all.-d Dun's Index Number, cover-;
ng many hundred articles at their
n hiilesale prices during the last forty
years. The price of each one of
these articles is separately multiplied
by the annual per capita consump
tion as determined bv census and
other ollicial reports, statistics of
imports, records of production, etc.
lu l lie nature of things they cannot
be exact, but bv using the same
ratios for all dates it is possible to
make the comparison.
Dun's Index Number for lSiio was
sf'.'l.liJ, which means that at that
time if each inhabitant had purchas
ed a year's supply of all the iieces
sitiis of life the cost would have
been RM.i;:J per capita. In lStfl, it
would have required $312.73 to buy
the same articles in the same ipianti
ties. This, of course, was due to the
Civil War. withdrawing millions of
men from employment, laying waste
vast an as of productive country, and
the 'epreeiation of currency. The
cost gradually decreased until it ap
peared at aliout $95 in the early 90 s:
that is, the same articles that would
have cost $121.(13 in 1HH0 and
s-'312.73 in 1M14 could have been
bought in 1N1I0 or ls;H at about
'.)".oo.
Beginning with the panic of is.i3
vv hen, it is estimated by one of the
labor lcaii-rs, that three million
men Were thrown out of employ
ment, the cost of the same articles in
the same iiiantities fell in 1S1I7 to
$7'.M'. There was that much less
of purchasing power, hence the
prices fell. When business revived
the coct of living increased because
there was more demand and bv May
1, 1UU2, it would have reoiiired
1122.21 to have purchased these
Isanie articles ill the same uiiantitics.

The Strength of the Japanese is their ;
Simplicity.
By T. V. O'Connor. Mi-inl. r Hiai-li IMtlnin.v I
The Japanese have no bread, no ;
beds, no fires, no boots and .shoes, no :
trouseis for the men, no l'ett:eoiis .
for the women. Roth sexes wear in- ,
stead several dressing gowns, one
over the other. In their houses they
have no windows, no doors, no walls.
no ceilings, no chests of drawers, not ,
even a washing stand, aud the ward- cie
robf is only a lol of boxes piled one : i'n,
on toil of aiiotiier. lu the kitchen ill,-
they have no range, no p its, no pans, '
no Hour bins, no kitchen tables. Rut,
then they have no tables or chaiis in !
the drawing room, and in the n-al
native house the drawing room itself j
is only a lot of bedrooms with their j
walls taken dow n. Tlieie is no l'ea-
son why you should find anything in
a Japanese house except mats and a 1
charcoal stove for wanning your
lingers and the teapot for commit- j
ting suicide. These and a cushion ,
or two and a ipiilt to sleep on, with
an elaborate conventional politeness,!
constitute the furniture of a .lap;:-1
nose house except the guest chamber,
tlie articles ill the ynest
her consist of a screen, a kakemoiie
and a llowcr vase. The Jai-anese
have no forks or spoons or table
cloths; they have no sheets, no w ine
glasses, no t uiiiblers.
And see one of the results of this
niaeiiilic -nl want of wants, if I mav
I
use the phrase. It is an essential
source of military strength lo Ja
pan's cmperoi; it enables his armies
lo march preternaturally light, and
in a case of blockade or a national
disaster it would be almost impossi
ble to starve him into surrender.
In Japan, with all the inbred po
liteness and good feeling, woman
still holds a place far from satisfac
tory in the ethics and life of the
country. "In houses," sums up an
author mi this side of Japanese life,
"iv hich are iincorrupted by foreign .
inlhu nces a woman of whatever class
is only a servant unless her husb.nid
chooses otherwise."
'I'ln-re ,-ue two exceptions to this
rule -among the upper aud among
the lowest classes. If a woman be
longs to an ARISTOCRATIC fam
ily, and especially to one vv hich has
adopted some Flll'opeaii methods and
ideas, she is treated with something
of the reverence given to women in
Kurope. She not only dresses like an
F.iiropean woman, but she is allowed
to walk by her husband's side, and
even she is allowed to pass through
a door before him.

COUNTRY I'liOl'LE AND WHISKEY.
The DetitajrngHes Can't Fool the People
hy Their 'alse Cry.
Tii.-c li-lln.i .-nil.
A bunt I lie most puny and piliful
plea we have Vet li'-ard uootit tiie
Watts liuitor law in this State is that
it dots not give the country people
the same rights and priv ileges save
the mark that it gives city people,
('nine to, now. That old cry will.
we fancy, not alarm any one very
greatly. There are a great many
things' call them rights and priv
ileges if vou wish city people have
that cotiuliy people do not want and
would not have if they could. And
we have an idea that the open bar
room and tl:e abominable whiskey
still stand proiiiiueiilly among the
1 1 ii i u I h i-.
To make a short story of it. it
conies aliout in this wise. The
Watts law simply abolished ull whis
key .ie!',ii," aud 'whiskey making ill
rural distriCui where there were no
police surveillance and prison pro
tection against the rowdy, drunk and
down; but the same law allows cit
ies to vote on the ipieslioti and say
whether they will have saloons or
not have them. And now the ob
jection is raised that, this is treating
tiie country folks unfair that, they
ought to have the same privilege to
id" out saloons that city folks have.
Rut tiie lidieiilous part of the
tinny plea is that, it all comes, so lar
us we have yet heard, not from the
dear country folks who are robbed
of heaven born right tri but from
city p-ojde themselves who are not
so robbed, lb ivy very solicitous city
people do become about country peo
ple sometimes.
Do notour anti-Walts law people
know that l lie most sober people in
ull this land, and I lie very staunches!
and boldest and most tearless are in
the country. And do they not
know if they wanted wiskey made
and ;'o!d in their midst they tllelu-
.c! ves would :iv sn in very straight
forward and delinite terms? Fact is
until the country people themselves
coin;. lain that their rights and
privileges have been taken, our city
friends of strong breath and loud
spieeh proclivities need not be so
much alarmed about them. The
country p.. .pie are not complaining
so far as we have learned yet about
being shorn of (loil-givcti rights, ex
cept where whiskey-makers and
wiskey deilers have been laboring i!1)
So raise itnot her cry, brethren. We
have an idea this one will not fool as
inaiiv as vou need to help vou out in
the present dilemma. We also have
an idea that there is truth m I lie lol-
lo'.ving Sanford correspondence . to
he Raleigh News and Observer:
"1 have heard three of four men,
il good mechanics and business
men. sav m tiie past lew (lavs, who
rank to excess, and have reformed
iiu-L- prohibition prevailed in our
-unity, that thev would vol" for no
man for the Legislature or Congress
who favored saloons, dispeiiseiies or
lislilleries. The "red nose" that
omes out for ollice aud favors inter
fering with the Watts oi niiy other
i.rohii.ilion l-iw will wisli that he
had gone lishing instead of hunting
i '-pit" through u still worm. The
moral portion of our population are

keep out of the way. The masses
