New-York tribune., 1906-07-10

Abruzzl had the assistance of several Pied
montese who were skilled in mountain climb
ing. They were probably unfamiliar with the
typographical pecularities of Ruwenzori, but
their previous experience undoubtedly rendered
their services valuable. Perhaps the duke might
not have Jared as well as he did. either in
Alaska or equatorial Africa, had he not taken
Alpine guides with him. Something besides
courage, strength and indomitable will is requ-
site in such ventures and it is not unlikely that
neglect Of the important precaut1on taken by
the duke has more than once turned the scale
in what was in other respects highly promis-
ing enterprise.
So far as mere altitude is concerned, the recent
achievement Of the italian prince has been re-
peateGly surpassed. The dispatches to King Vic
tor Emmanuel apparently contain reference TO
the exact height Of RuwenzOri, which has just
been determined for the first time, and hence
FOR purposes Of comparison the latest estimate
(from 1000 to $4,000 feet must be employed
AS already suggested it may turn out that
Mount st. Elias has q greater elevation than the
peak whose summit the Duke of the Abruzzi
reached last month. At any rate, four or five
exploring parties have made more brilliant rec
ords than he. Sir Martin Conway stood $4,000
feet above the sea ION Pioneer Peak in the
Himalayas) in 1892, and nearly equaIled that
performance by the subsequent ascent Of Illi-
mani. in Bolivia. Accompanied by famous
Swiss guide, Zurbriggen, Fitzgerald (who had
had much experience as a mOuntaineer in New
Zealand} started to climb AcOncagua, in the
Andes, in 1897. When success was almost
within his grasp Fitzgerald succumbed to ex-
haustion, but his companion pushed on to the
very top and thus attained a height of at least
23,OS0 feet DR.. and Mrs. William III. Work
man, of Worcester, Mass, were in the Hima-
layas in 1900 1902 and 1908. In the last men,
toned year Mrs. Workman came within thirty
two feet Of matching Sir Martin Conway's
achievement and the doctor himself reached an
altitude Of 1884 feet.

THE COST OF GOVERNugNT.

Attention has recently been called to the graf
flying fact that the American government is de-
cidedly less expensive, prOpOrtiOnately, than
that Of any great power of Europe. It is how
ever observed that its cost is steadily increas-
ing, and may in time approximate to the Euro
pean standard That is not at all surprising for
it is the almost invariable rule for governments
TO increase in cost as civilization advances and
as society becomes more complex. We have
called attention to the fact that the ratio Of use
Of water is much greater in New York now than
it was years ago, and that it is likely to become
still greater. 1t is just so with government.
There is more work for government to do now
than in a more primitive social and civic state
and Of course, it costs more to do it.
1t is to be noted. also, that the costs of gov
ernment vary greatly according to the concep-
tons Of government and its functions The gov
ernment which practises EdisSer fdire is nat
uralIy much less expensive than that which is
paternal in its operations. Every application of
government control or regulation to the business
or other affairs of the community increases the
cost of the government. Our interstate COM
merce administration, our meat inspection, our
Civil Service system and other modern devel-
Opments of governmental activity are all good
things but they all cost. Our government would
be cheaper without them, though less efficient
There are also differences of rates of pay
ment to members and employees Of governments.
Our Senators and Representatives receive sal
aries. The peers and cOmmoners of Great Brit
ain do not On the other hand, British Cabinet
officers and other important placehoIders receive
much higher salaries than such men in this
country. There are numerous other points Of
difference between governmental systems, all
affecting cost and often being dictated by the
very genius Of the governments or Of the people
who maintain them.
The supreme question, however, is not one
of cost so much as one of efficiency, and in that
respect also governments vary greatly. Some
expensive governments are ineffective, while
some much less costly ones are efficient to a high
degree Generally speaking, it may be said that
if a government does its work with reasonable
fidelity and thorOughness it is worth all it
costs and much more. There are few things In
the world so cheap in comparison with their
value as a good government. But if a govern
ment does not do its work it is far too dear, no
matter how cheap it may seem.

FOR PEACE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

It is agreeable to know that the revolution
in Guatemala, which was begun with so conf
dent flourish Of triumphal trumpets is appar-
emily "petering out" and bids fair very soon
to be a thing of the past, and that steps are
being taken in practical way to restore the
friendly relations between Guatemala and Sal
vador, which were disturbed by Salvadorean
sympathy with the insurgents. That is to be
said not in a partisan way, though we might
naturally and properly sympathize with the gov
ernment rather than with insurgents against
it, but because there was perceptible no promise
Of profit in the success of the revolt. Despite
all that has been said against him, the prepOn-
derance Of evidence is that President Estrada
Cabrera is, the whole, a better chief execu-
tive than Central American states have gener-
ally had and it would seem to be for the well
fare OF that country that he should remain in
Office until the end Of his lawful term.
So far as the restoration Of amity and conf
dence with Salvador is concerned, that should
not prove difficult task. We recall that some
thing less than two years ago there was an in
ternatiOnal conference of Central American
states at COrinto, Nicaragua, at which all the
republics save Costa Rica and Panama were
represented. At that conference resolutions
were adopted declaring that the maintenance Of
peace was the chief object of the governments
represented, that they would strictly comply
would especially discourage Instructions on
the ground that such movements were the work
Of selfish egotists, Of personal enemies Of the
existing officers of state or Of unbalanced minds,
and that thus scheme of discOrd subversive
attempt or suggestion which should tend to break
the loyal friendship existing among them would
receive any support from any of them.
To those resolutions the representatives OF
Guatemala and Salvador subscribed. It is to
be assumed they are still held to be binding
and valid. If mOmentarily, under any untoward
influence, any state has departed from them to
the offence Of another, its present duty would
seem to be to get back as eXpeditiOuSly as pos
sible to that safe sane and eminently salutary
basis. I'VE will put forth our strongest eff
forts" said Guatemala and Salvador in August,
1904, ito frustrate the schemes of those who
"seek to, sow distrust and jealousy among us.
''impelled as they are by the spirit of ambition
cor disorder" If both those states fulfil that
promise there will be peace between them.

Hcitude and interest for Porto Rico in the first

new conditions resulting from it's separation
from Spain and the severance Of relations be-
tween Church and State. The United States.
Mr. Root said. was greatly interested in the well
fare Of the island and in holding it's friendship.

prosperity and happiness. There existed. he

THE AsCENT oF RUWENzoRI.

Italy may well feel proud of the geographical
exploits Of the Kings cousin the Duke of the
AbruZZi Nine years ago he reached the sum
NIT Of Mount st. Elias, In Alaska feat
which he was the first TO perform Soon after
ward an expedition under his command sought
TO surpass Nansen's ''furthest north" Owing
10 an accident which temporarily disabled him,
the duke was obliged to remain in Franz Josef
Land for a few weeks at the critical stage Of
the undertaking. Though he did not personally
witness the achievement, therefore the naviga-
tor Of bis, ship reported approaching seventeen
miles nearer to the Pole than did the distin-
guished Norwegian. The duke now announces
the conquest of the lOftiest peak in the Ru-
wenzori range, which is Identical with Ptol
emy's Mountains of the Moon" There w0s
reason to believe few weeks ago that two
Englishmen, Messrs. WOolastOn and WoolsOn
had anticipated him. but the story that thev
had done so has not been confirmed To the
Italian. therefore. must again be conceded the
credit Of succeeding where others had failed
