The New York Herald Of June

The New York Herald Of June
21st says: Mr.. Blaine is writing
a history of the ''grand old par
| typ with the motto probably
GAN Of this / saw, part of this |
was.' The newspapers say tha!
his book is going to be very in
teresting, and If he tells only
half he knows he win have a
great many curious readers.
Mr.. Conkling, also it is gener-
ally reported, is writing a histo-
ry of the "grand old party" If
Mr.. Conkling will do himself
and the public the justice to tell
all he knows, his book will have
as great a sale as Mr.. Blaine's,
and the two will be devoured
by several millions of readers
with eager curiosity.
Will not Mr.. Dorsey and Mr..
Brady also write out what they
know of the history OF the
grand old party If they will
tell what they know, their books
may have even % greater sale
than Mr., Blaine's or Mr.. Conk
Inns. Why should they not
write out their reminiscencesf
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Conkling
fell in the high tide of battle, so
to speak; Mr.. Brady and Mr.
Dorsey were bowled over by a
Ere in the rear from treacherous
allies and friends. They are the
victims handed over to public
clamor by men whom they as
sisted to office and power.
With a promise of four such
histories of the Republican par
ty the public wonld scarcely
have patience to wait for ''pub-

Wharton Barker, Of Philadel'
phia, is reported to have . plan
to divide what he calls the sur
plus revenue among the States
and to intend to endeavor TO
have a plank TO that end incor'
porated in the National Repub'
lican platform. He proposes to
distribute $S0O,OOO,000 among
The States, on the ground that
the funding Of the National
debt has made it impossible TO
pay all of ii at the present time.
A Treasury official, who read
the plan as carefully as the
weather would permit, remark
ed that he wondered where Mr..
Barker would get his money.
1t is by no means certain th'.t
there will be u surplus which
would warrant any such dis
tribution Of money. The figures
which are given are too large.
No provision has been made
for the sinking fund, at least the
amount has not yet been set
aside, and no one has any no.
ton as to the probable opera
ton of the new tariff law. The
Government many years ago
loaned S27, ,000, 900 to the States.
This money was accepted as a
loan. 1t was never returned,
no interest was ever paid upon
|it. This amount was for many
years carried in an unavailable
asset IN the Treasuref's account
but of late years it has entirely
disappeared from the regular
Treasurary statements.
