Indiana to the Front.

It is a faot Dot generally known Hhat while Indiana has thirteen members of the national house of representatives there are thirteen other members of that law making body who at some time or other lived in Indiana, so that in a certain sense of the term Indiana is by a double delegation, tfhere is not one of the last mentioned thirteen who does not take a deeper interest in Indiana affairs than if he never lived in Indiana. This seoond thirteen is composed "t>f Messrs. Gannon, Grosvenor, Hull, Hitt, Alexander, Smith, of Illinois, Green, Haetwole, Fordney, Graff, Williams of Illinois, Jett and Dougherty. Indiana, of oourse, is represented in the senate by two senators but there are five pther senators who formerly lived in Indiana. They are Olapp, Spooner, Patterson, Rawlson and Among the new members who will take the oath of offioe as representatives next Marob, are Messrs. »Hinshaw, former lodianas. It will be seen from this list that Indiana has produoed many men who are now prominent in the oounoils of the nation outside of its own delegation.
