Steadfastness is the opposite quality,

compliment can be paid. God pity the
man who is one thing to your face and
another at your back. Heaven have
mercy on the man who will smile upon
you and vote YOU all right when every
thing is going ell with you, and then
turn to you the cold shoulder and give
you an ity stare when things go wrong
No man should stand by another who
is breaking a righteous law or living
life of sin. But every man should
stand by his fellow man when he is
trying to do right. If in the wrong,
he should patiently point out TO him
the better way. and as taetfully as pos
sible lead him into It, This is true
service. This is Christianity.
Employers need more of the spirit
which will move them to stand by
their employees, and those who work
for wages need more OF the spirit
which will move them TO stand by the
fellow who has given them their Jobs
and made it possible for them to keep
the Wolf from the door. There is no

RUSSIAN BABE As CONQUEROR.

Who has wrought the greatest deeds

anese admiral. though he sink the
Russian feet twice over; no Russian
general. though he drive back the Japs
from Port Arthur and hold Manchuria
for the ear.
The greatest conqueror lies in the
cradle The birth of an infant son to
the loug-exlectaat and oft-diSappnlht-
ed household of the Russian monarch
has given to that nation a new birta.
1t has neryed the arm of every Rus
sian soldier and put heart into the
councillors of state. But this is Il
small thing Il has given to the exilcS
of Siberia rights long withheld; it has
brought new hope 10 Finland; ii has
enlarged the liberties Of the common
people: it has opened the doors for re-
forms such as revolution with blood
shed ard confagration could not have
accomplished.
The power for tie conquest Of the
world is not in its armament and its
navies. These are the clumsy and In
effectual opponents Of inferior force.
The greaAt forces and most potent
are those that rule the human VIII

Political Race in Which Pennsylvania
at Present Leads Texas.
In 1865. at the first national election
after the close of the Civil War, the
Republicans carried Pennsylvania by 2S.-
600 majority, and Kentucky, then the
strongest OF the Democratic States. gave
a majority of 10000. Texas had not
been read1uitted to the Union, its re-
construction not being complete.
In the succeeding presidential election,
that of 1872, Pennsylvania rolled Up a
majority monumental for that period, of
$4,000 for the Republicans, and Texas
went Democratic by 10000.
In 1876 Texas gave 10000 Den oeratic
majority; Pennsylvania went Republican
by $4,000. In 1880 the Republican ma
jority in Pennsylvania was $1,000; the
Democratic majority in Texas was o.
600, Texas leading all other States in
majority.
In 1884 Pennsylvania gave $1,000 Re
publican majority and Texas 1872, 900

In 1888 Pennsylvania gave $1,000 Re
publican majority and Texas 10000

In 1892 Pennsylvania gave $4,000 Re
publican and Texas 100000 Democratic
majority. In 1896 Pennsylvania shot
ahead with 295. 600 Republican majority,
