A BLOODY BATTLE.

The long expected clash between
the belligent land forces in the Orient
has taken place, and while the student
of the eastern contest cannot see that
any advantage hss been gained that is
more than stepping stone to other
conquests or defeats, the battle of
Nanshau has given the world an in
dication of what may be expected in
the contest between Jap and Slav.
This history of the Light Brigade ct
Balaklava, and of Pickett at Gettys-
burg has been repeated. The Russians
eatrenched behind strong works await
ed the assault with the same grim
determination that caused them TO
burn Moscow to defeat the ambition
of Napoleon. The Japs, with a seem
ingly homogeneous mingling Of stoi-
cism and enthusiasm rushed on the
defenses with the fury of demons and
the enthusiasm of Crusaders, and were
moved down in heaps by the enemys
fire. Repeatedly did they charge into
this veritable hell until the slain
covered the ground By one Of the
unforeseen accidents of war a gap was
left unprotected and into this was
hurled regiment Of Japs which.
breaking the Russian lines. secured a
foothold which they we're able to
maintain with the strong su pport of
the artillery, the Russian position be-
came untenable, and they fed leaving
the field in possession of their enc
mics. 1t was victory bough: with
price as valuable as the gain.
The fighting value of neither army
can be gathered from the battle. :he
Japs have gained position that is
the Key to the surrender of Port
Arthur. Yet it was dearly bought.
Great battles have been won by small
things. The cackling of geese saved
Rome, soldier treading on thistle
causing him to cry out in pain, pre-
served the liberties of Scotland for
centuries. Napoleon suffering from
a headache caused by eating onions,
failed to order Grouchy to his assis.
lance in time and Waterloo was lost.
So it might have been in the contest
between the armies in Asia. The
breach which enabled the japanese to
win a victory might have been one of
the unforseen and unav ,idable Incl.
dents of war that Dsithe1 decide the
strength of armies nor the greatness
of generalship. Certain it is that the
Russian is more at home on land than
on sea, and the great contest is yet to
be determined by the clash If armies
rather than navies. So, too, the ap
has proven that as soldier he pos
sesses bravery and skill, and with
these elements he will make the war
one of heroic effort at least. 1t is
the contest of giants.

SENATOR QUAY DEAD.

Mathew Stanley Quay, United
States senator from Pennsylvania, is
dead. No man was ever more
malig ned, less understood or more in
huential in affairs of state than he.
He did not possess the qualities of
great craftsmanship, as they wele ex
emplified by Clay, and Calhoon, anu
Blaine, but it is doubtful if any Of
these left greater impress on legisla-.
tion than did the silent senator from
the Keystone commonwealth. Quay
was fighter, a tactician, an organic
er. In these elements lay his great
political strength. His political
enemies, and they were many, charg-
ed that he was INSCRIPTIONS and
corrupt. No charge was ever less
founued. He was an organizer who
could SO plan that the will of tho
people became the means of accom-
plishing his political ends. He took
advantage Of tho popular will, but
never attempted to create it, and sell
dom tried to direct it. He was power
full in his own state because the peo-
pie trusted him as leader, we'll
knowing that the voice Of the Ieople
was his political mentor. He was
unfalteringly tire to his frier DIS, and
forgiving to his enemies. AS poll
tician he was resourceful and died in
the last ditch. When his enemies
had seemingly encompassed his defeat
and he failed to secure an election to
the senate he appealed to the people,
and received the greatest majority
ever expressed by popular vote in
Pennsylvania since the election Of
Curtin, the war governor. He pos
sessed the powers Of silent greatness
an it will be long before another will
I'll his place. Those who pause to.
shed tear on his earthly mound
will pay tribute to a man whose faults
have been proclaimed from the house
topsswhiIt his virtues were hidden
under bushsl.

DIGNITY.

And what, in fact, is Dignity? In those
Who have it pure, it is the SOULS repose,
The base of characterize mere reserve
That springs from pride, or want of mental nerve
The dignity that wealth, or station, breeds,
Or in the breast on base emotion feeds,
Is easy weighed, and easy to be sized
bastard virtue, much to be despised.
True dignity is like summer tree,
Beneath whose shade both beast, and bird, and bee
When by the heated skies oppressed, may come,
And feel, in its magnifcence, at home;
Or rather like mountain which forgets
Itself in its own greatness, and so lets
Vast armies fuss and fight upon its sides,
While high in clouds its peaceful summit hides
And from voiceless crest of glistening snow
Pours trickling fairness on the fields below;
Repellant force, that daunts obtrusive wrong
And woos the timid steps of right along;
And hence garb which magistrates prepare,
When called to judge and really seem to wear.
In framing character on whate'er plan,
'Tis always needed to complete the man;
The job quite done, and Dignity without,
Is like an apple pie, the fruit left out.
Too QUAsTEE.

EUssIA7s GOLD RESERVE.
Immense Stores of the Yellow Coin
Laid Away in the Impe-
rial Bank.

Henry Norman, Russian traveller and
member of the British parliament, DE-
scribes in the Worlds Work visit to
the Imperial bank at St. Petersburg.
where there is 1918, 1870, 900 worth Of
gold. The walls o. the treasure cham
Der are literally lined with gold. Mr..
Norman describes The room as follows:
The walls of the apartment were COM
pletely covered, up to height Of about
eight feet, with shallow cupboards with
doors of strong wire netting, leaving
their contents plainly visible. each door
being both padlocked and sealed.
About five-sixths of these cupboards
we're completely filled, with ingots Of
gold, the ends of which made lining OF
gold for nearly the length Of the room.
The light was reflected brightly from the
shining metal, and the effect, needless
to say, was highly impressive. I felt
