The Ranting Of Rainey.

Sometime ago Congressman Ralney
established himself in the John Wes-
ley Gaines class by violent speech
i'll which he charged all kinds of cor
ruption in connection with the Panama
canal project and definitely accused
leading Republicans of being involved
il, a financial scandal in connection
with the canal. When proof Of these
charges was demanded he declared
that he was able to furnish such proof
and would do SO at later date. The
later date arrived and he made a sec
ond speech. Congress and the country
of evidence was forthcoming, simply a
reiteration of the unfounded charges
and a wild and incoherent ranting
which made his Democratic colleagues
and his constituents at home very
much ashamed of him. The rebuke
given him by Congressman Burton of
Ohio was such a castigation as no
member Of Congress has been given by
another for long time, but nobody
who heard it or read it doubted that
it was fully deserved. When he found
that he had no evidence to bring for
ward, the least that the Illinois men,
Der could have done would be 10 keep
silent, even if he did not have the de
cency and manhood to retract his
earlier charges, but for him to pour
out another torrent of abuses and Wilt
tication was too much for the patience
of the members of the House.
