Now that the senate has refused to
make an appropriation for mileage for
the second session of the fifty eighth
congress, it becomes evident that Rep
resentativ Cushman's race across the
continent in the middle part of No
vember was altogether unnecessary.
Even had Mr.. CuShman failed to arrive
before the adjournment of the special
session his mileage would have been
safe. But there was no way that he
could have known this ut that time.
1t was commonly believed when con-
gress assembled in November that it
would vote its mileage for the regu-
lar as we'll as the special session. and
it was not until Representative Under

vote against the second mileage that
anyone supposed the extra allowance
would be cut off.
