Did not Blaine en- dorse and accept his ridiculous proposition of taxing the people by | the National Government to raise rev- enue to distribute among the States? This emavation of Barker's genius was made a prominent feature of the Republican platform of Pennsylvania in 1883, and possessed the merit of congratulatory commendation from the tattooed statesman, tv its author.

A singular feature of the case, says the Washington Clpual, and one not generally known to the public, is that, in addition to the $4, 000,000 de. manded by Mes, Fair vpon that accession the Senator voluntarily added afifth.
