Morrill, to-day called attention to the
fact that twelve committees of the
Senate had got permission to make
junketing tours this summer at the
expense of the government, and near
ly as many more of the House COM
mittees have obtained the same per-
mission. This is a new idea, and
was only inaugurated two years ago,
when the Indian Transfer Committee
was sent out; but the Democrats,
who have always had so much to say
about junketing tours, have gone into
the business by wholesale, and if all
the plans that have been laid are car
ried out. nearly the entire Senate will
be making pleasure tours this summer
at government expenses.
