crossing as rapidly at this time as they
should, and the enthusiasm which once
possessed people mere has died out. year
ago it was expected that the attractions OF
the dedication would eclipse those of the in
augurstion, and they were looked forward
TO with great interest Now there is littla
said or done in the matter.
An effort was to be made to have some for.
eign countries take part in the dedication
and make it sort of international, but the
scheme has failed because it was not started.
The gpolitical etceteras connected with the
Inauguration seem to outshine the patriotism
that surrounds the Washington monument
for the time.

WAsHIEGToN, Jan. 23-"I believe some
kind of q bill looking to the beginning of
work on the Hennepin Canal will be passed
at this session OF Congress- said Repre-
sentative Wallace, of Ohio, to your CORE
spondent to-day.
1t was the first word l had heard for some
time in favor of the outlook of this project,
and / asked:
why do you think so, Mr.. Wallace"
Because there has been q great deal of
change in sentiment here on the subject
during the past two or three years." replied
he, "and think there is decided majority
in favor Of the measure in the House."
But how about the Senator
From what / have heard-and q good
many have expressed themselves to me of
late should think majority would vote
for it in the Senate. OF course, much de-
pends upon the shape the subject is pre-
sented. 1t will come up IN q separate and
distinct bill from the. House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors. In no way will the
regular River and Hsrbor bill be hindered
by the Hennepin Canal project"
"Will there not be the constitutional OBJ
lection made to the Hennepin Canal as
usual?"
"Oh, yes. There are some who object to
every class of improvement, most, on the
ground that it is unconstitutional; but the
nen who take refuge behind the Constitu
tion are not many now, and they
are generally laughed at. | don't
see how the Hennepin Canal can
be ruled out any more than the
Mississippi River on constitutional grounds.
1t is not an internal improvement by any
means, nor is it an improvement for the
beD Dfs OF any State, or two or three States.
1t is matter of interest to every State be-
yond the Mississippi. 1t throws the North
ern lakes and the Mississippi together, and
will very materially cheaper freight
rates 10 the people in the
West. The railroads are fight
ing the measure and 1 presume will
continue to fight it; but have yet to hear
the first objection to it from a citizen not
interested in railroad property. 1t would
open a new field for the cattle and stock
men of the far West and Southwest, and
can think of nothing that would bless them
more. 1t appears to be only question of a
few years when ships will be running from
the Mississippi into the Northern lakes"

WAsHISGToN. July 4.-Nearly all the Indiana
delegation have again left. Mr. Holman has
started literary bureau q small scale, which
is supplying the rural districts of northern
Indiana with long and thrilling accounts of the
objector's public service. He believes that he
can down the Democratic war horses for the
senatorial nomination, but he enters the fight,
after having been sponged off with alcohol, a
little croggy on his pins. This no doubt, is due,
however, to the fact that there are so many
curves in the Baltimore & Ohio road, over which
he travels. The Hon, William has got not only
the rank and file of the Democratic party of
Indiana down on him, but nearly all of mis-
colleagues in the House, and he will have to dis
play great deal more military skill than he has
yet been credited with to win the senatorial
