will come out, because the public de-
mands thorough sitting Of all the
charges made. But Mr.. Rainey's pecul-
lar talents would not have had much
play in such a serious inquiry. He Is
an expert In uncovering mares nests
and inventing Authorizations, and his
genius could not have been expected to
shine in what promises to be a prosaic
and technical Investigation.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Rainey was 80 COM
pletely disqualified that the House had
to bar him OF the committee in self
defence. 1t could not have successfully
apologized for having approved the Sc
lection of SO egregious an incompetent
to perform public duty of the first i'm
portance. Yet, from another point OF
view, 1t seems almost pity that the
Democratic caucus selection could not
have been permitted to stand simply as
an exhibition e the minority's capacity
to do inexcusable things in politics In
inexcusable ways. 1t would have Illus
trated afresh how far along the path
of folly and irresponsibility the House
Democracy can go when it is confronted

parison with other exploits Of the same
character. Up TO that time Aconcagua
had been regarded as the loftiest noun
tain in the Andean chain. and Zurbrig
gen and Vinez, who reached it's summit
II 1897. made instrumental observations
which led them to compute the elevation
attained at 23.0S0 feet. An independent
measurement by a French geographer,
schrader. gave slightly lower figures. but
II seems safe TO say that the height OF
the great Chilian peak is about $4,000

more truly adjudication. This is partly
because of the general principles OF set
tlement which are involved and partly
because Of the special circumstances and
character of the cases. 1t Is gratifying
to have the worlds confidence In the

Of additional cases, and especially to
have that done by sur own country. Per-

gratifying 10 have the other party to

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Noting in The Tribune that Ger

the New York Board of Health for dam
ages to his business, an inspector reporting
that his barns did not meet the require

facts bearing on the worth of inspectors
OF farm buildings and cattle.
My friend, whom I will call Mr.. B.. was
large farmer and dairyman in Orange
County, one of the best An inspector
was sent to his place to look over his
barn, stock, feed. etc. and as Mr.. B. was
conducting him over his barn they passed
several barrels standing together, all filed.
The inspector saw them, stopped, took up
a handful of the contents. !sifted it
through his fingers, then said: That's
pretty good feed, Mr.. B." Mr.. B., non-
plussed for the moment but quickly recov-
ering himself, replied. Yes. that's all
right
That feed was wood ashes. This ''Billi-

TYPICAL.

The quality Of the Democratic leader
ship in the House of Representatives
was once more ingenuously disclosed in
the attempt 10 foist the Hon. Henry II.
Rainey on the committee which is TO
conduct the Ballinger- -Pinchot investiga-
ton, 1t may not BE the proper function
of the party in power always TO be act
ing as a sort of rescue mission, seeking
10 protect the opposition from beset-
ting temptation 70 do its worst under
all conceivable circumstances. But
there are occasions when interference to
prevent deplorable exhibition Of po-
liticaI impropriety is entirely justified.
The Republican party in Congress had
fhe right TO object to a choice so in
appropriate and obnoxious, since after
Mr. Rainey's performances in the last
Congress as a circUlator OF utterly erro-
neous and shameless allegations the Re-
publican majority would have been put
in an indefensible position IL 1t had
consented TO his appointment On an in
vestigating committee intended to be
composed Of sober-minded and respon-
sible men. Undoubtedly I'm naming Mr..
Rainey the minority accurately meas
uned its appreciation OF the seriousness
of the political obligation which the
House had commissioned it to dis
charge. But such a perversion of judg-
ment should not have been, as it was
not, allowed to bind the body as a whole
10 an acknowledgment of Mr.. Rainey's
fitness for service obviously requiring
fair -mfndedness and good faith.
We do not believe that the evident
purpose OF the Democratic party to
make capital out Of the investigation
would have been promoted by any ac-
tiyities In which Mr.. Rainey as COM
pitteeman might lave engaged. If there
has been anything In the least discred-
table In the management of the Interior
Department or the Forestry Bureau it
