Whether Indiana could jro to another national Republican convention with "internal dissension In her midst and yet nominate an Indiana candidate, as she did in 1HSS, would remain to be seen. 1' riends of both senators express'the opinion that they will not fall out, over this or any other matter, basing their views 011 the belief it is assumed each of them holds, that the Republican margin of votes in Indiana is not. lartce euouyh to support the luxury of a factional struniile.
Indiana is interested in the lartre appropriation proposed in the pending river and harbor bill for the improveinent of navigation 011 the jrreat lakes.
It, is proposed to expend STo.ObU in extending the present lit 1-foot channel in the Calumet river from .H it.it If street. -1 Chicago, to lii'Jnd street, and the improvement of the river up to and be^yond Hammond in our slate. .Mr. 'Mann ot Illinois in l.ls speech 011 tile measure, jravo statistics of tonnage for the district of ('hica,u during the year 1000. it shows that at Indiana's only ,» Important port, Michigan City. 207 vessels, with a tonnage of something over 50.O00. were entered, and L'0."" vessels, with about the same ionnage, were cleared during Ihe year 1000.
Robert Wilcox, who was elected the .first delegate from Hawaii by the native vote, was actively opposed by the
American ami property holding elements in the island, and great was their surprise when ihe Kanaka candidate. who was an aggressive partisan of Queen "Lii."' oven after her dethronement. was elected by a large majority. The ooinmercinl interests of the island, determined to be represented at: Washington, even if it must be -..unofficially, have selected William
Heywood, who has been an American consul in the islands under the present administration, to look after their welfare here. Mr. lleywood's wife was formerly Miss Anna Wilson. She Is the daughter of .Tere Wilson, former Indiana congressman and resident of Crawfordsville, who is now prominent in financial as well as legal circles in Washington.
Moses Olapp. the second native of Indiana to bo elected to the United States senate from another state this winter, and who was compelled to defeat another Tndianian. "Bob" Evans, in achieving his success, studied law under still a third Hoosier who has come to the senate from an adopted state—Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, a native of Dearborn county. Senator Clapp. who took his seat this week, will be 50 years old in May, and suggests in his personality the late General Logan indeed, ho has been called by his admirers in Minnesota. "The Black Eagle of the North Star State.'" His parents were among the pioneers of Carroll county, and lie was born near Delphi, where lie lived until the removal of the family to Hudson. Minn., in 1858. His father was a. successful farmer, one of the original members of the Republican party, and •served a term as county auditor at Hudson. Young Clapp graduated from the law '(jrpartment of the University of Wisconsin, immediately thereafter entering the law otiice of Senator
Spooner. He returned to Hudson,! where he entered the practice of law. soon afterward was married and in 3875 began his political career as a I candidate for county attorney. Subsequently lie moved to a larger town, Fergus Falls, and later established an •ffico in St. Paul, where he has become a leading lawyer. He was three times elected attorney general of the elate. Ho ran for the Republican guboratorial nomination in 1804, but -was defeated. Senator Clapp is the father of three children, and his home life is described us charming

"Ezra. King of Heaven," who in private life is a piano-tuner at Wabash. bur who has become a public character by writing queer letters of advice to government officials at Washington, lias been spurred to renewed activity by the death of Queen Victoria. His hist communications are postmarked "Marion. Indiana," but dated "Heaven. r1, 1, 21." He says: "The jealousies of this generation may keep me from the throne of England, and steal my future. I'll make it cost the nation a thousand men and a million dollar* a day for forty years." This ought to be enough to make King Edward VII. feel his head to know If Ills crown is on straight.
Washington has shown a startling typhoid death rate for several years, and the medical authorities blame it upon the city water, which at this season of the year is about the color and consistency of the public drink which has driven St. Louis into becoming the chief boor drinking city of the continent. The District of Columbia appropriation bill carries an item of $200,000 as a starter toward a filtration plant. Mr. Ovorstreet waded into the debate on this clause by asking the chairman of the committee: "What, do you mean by the American system of Ultration "That," replied Mr. Grout, "is what is called the mechanical system. in which a coagulum Is used to precipitate the turbidity of the water, together with the bacilli it may contain." The pained expression which drifted across tlie face of the gentleman from Indiana was evidence that it was all as dear to him now as Washington water itself.
A national home at Johnson City, Ten., is to be the next, addition to the chain of volunteer soldiers' homes to which the great institution at Marion belongs. Those homos have never at any time been of sutlicient capacity to accommodate those entitled to their privileges tinder the law. During the summer many of their members—members is tlie word, not inmates, by the way leave the home on furlough, but. winter linds the accommodations insufficient to meet the demands made upon them.
