THE CONTINGENT FUND.
The Great Expense OF Junketing Con-
gressmen-FuneraI Trips Very Ex-
pensive-ExpIanatiOn Necessary.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The reports Of the
affairs of the House and Senate, showing the
annual expenditures from the contingent
fund, have caused good deal OF concern to
some members of iunketiDg committees.
The reports in some instances have disclosed
unwonted extravaganza. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the members of these junketing
committees to spend al the money sppro-
propristed tor the purpose, or, if no specinc
amount is set aside, TO have
a good time at whatever cost. The same has
especially been true when Congressmen have
been sent on funeral trip with the body of
dead member. Usually about q dozen
Congressman and Senators make up the
party, and the trip cOsts-if the distance
going and returning is, say thousand miles
about $500 each, or ten times as much as
single individual would make the journey
on. There is no limit to the cost of tl.s
funeral trips and expense is nothing.
The only man who has had the courage to
rise in the House TO explain these expenses
was Casey Young, of Tennessee. He is
plain, honest man, and he took exceptions
to the newspaper criticisms upon the ex-
penses which he, as chairman of the COM
mittee that last spring investigated the Hot
Springs management, incurred. He ex-
planned that he Travelled 200 miles, with a
half dozen members and clerk and steno-
grapher, remained week, and only spent
$50. Such trips usually cost five times
that much. He ssld rs bought no luxuries
with the Government money, lot even a
lunch or a drink Of Wkisky.
There are some other members who have
not explained their iunketing trips, and it is
not likely that they VIII. They can not, in
all probability. Hereafter the contingent
funds OF both branches of Congress will be
watched more closely. Heretofore the House
has not. in making appropriations for the
senate's fund, made any inquiries, aud vice
versa, but henceforth there will be inquiries
made.

There is strong feeling among
the peopls of Kankakee that
an investigation, thorough and exhaustive,
should be made of the causes of the terrible
destruction of life and property. One
of those reported missing. name un-

afternoon, and it is hoped he is safe. While

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. As anticipated
some time ago, the investigation by the Sem

practice of leasing Indian lands has proven
a practical failure. The men who insti-
gated the investigation have not come for

though it is known to exist, and so
nothing Of moment can be proven. The
chief prosecuting witness all at oncs weakens
and fails to show why.
