He must still SO depend on God as to seek
His aid in the conflict. (Nersc 1S. That
splendid officer, General Havelock, went
all through the SepOy rebellion, trusting
not in the discipline and bravery of Eng

sought in prayer before and after battle
and "Havelocks saints" as they arc
called, were invincible. So General Wash.

to the God of battles who gave him the
victory. If great men felt the need OF

An Interesting illustration o: this sub

w nav three great factories OF soda
ash in this country, but AZ the same time
the foreigners control nearly 60 per
cent OF the American trade. The duty
upon soda-ash is S. a ton. The price
OF soda-ash in Liverpool, England, is
&3 Is. to G3 los, but The price for
American consumption is Ct less per
ton than for English domestic con
sumption. That is, the price for the
American market is 81 Is. to 60 los,
and for the English G3 is. to SO los
q ton. 1t is interesting to note that the
British manufacturers certainly pay
the ,ariff in this case. and also make u
special price for export, thus discrimi-
mating against their home consumers.
This is the policy to which our pro-
English papers so vigorously object, if
adopted by American manufacturers

RECORD.

Elsewhere in this issue The Republic
can presents the record of Hon. Frank
w. Mondell, from the able pen OF Geo.
N. Brown. From the time he entered
congressional halls till the close OF the
last session OF the Fifty-fourth con,
gress, Mr.. Mondell worked early and
ate for thei interests of his state, and his
success was phenomenal. Although
young in years, by his strict integrity,
candor and ability he gained the conf,
dence Of older men, who were at all
times willing to lend him n helping
hand In the furthernnce Of legislation
which he advocated.
Although, Wyoming has been repre-
sented by many good men. none have
made q prouder record for the Stale OF
Wyoming. His defeat in the last cleo
ton. instead OF d%ampening his ardor.
only seemed to spur him on to greater
efforts In behalf of his constituents. and
his work In the second session was the
browning glory o. an active and well
oPene teTm III inc natlona nails OF leg
isiauon.
The work performed, and particularly
that In favor Of the old soldiers, will
extend far into the future, and rebound
to the benefit OF those most deserving.
In opening the park to the south by
wagon road, the people of the state will
be able to take advantage Of an outing
occasionally in this greatest Of all Won
derlands. Hitherto it has been reserved
to the wealthy because Of the great eX-
pense Of a trip, travellers being compell-
ed 20 go by way Of the north or the
west 10 get there the people of Wyo-
ming in some cases going through three
states TO get to this park near their
own homes.

In time it would pass off. On the contrary my

my back panied me so could not sit still would
walk around little while then go to bed expect

finally fall asleep, only to wake up in the early
morning with that same pain across my kidneys
l also had weakness in the kidney secretions
which was annoying. saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised and got them at Kgore and Wilson's

that got second and they cured my backache

is less annoying and the secretions of the kidneys
