IT KILLED THE BILL.
Ready Wit of "A Legislator SPOrted
Eject of MasterfuI speech.

Eject of MasterfuI speech.
From the Boston Herald
Ready wit in the form of ridicule is
many times more effective in a legislative
body than the most eloquent and carefully
studied speech. The late Hon. Lewis Bar
ker. Of Bangor. Me, who from 1880 to 1890
was one Of the best known campaign ora
tors in America, was ever ready to turn
any opportunity of this kind TO advantage.
true incident is told of him. to appre-
ciate which it is only necessary to realize
that Maine Legislature is composed
chiefly Of farmers and also that it is Gus
tomary in rural districts to plant pump
kins between the rows of corn as they
grow in the field.
In 1866 Mr. Barker was d member of the
Maine senate from PenObsCOt County. In
the same senate sat the Hon. A q. lie
Broke, of Piscataquis County, and be-
tween the two layers existed a friendly
rivalry. lie Broke was at one time deeply
interested in the passage Of a bill which
Mr.. Barker opposed, but for reasons OF
his own did not care to speak upon. lie
Broke had prepared masterful speech,
which he delivered, and closed with the
[
saying:
L call on the farmer of Maine for help
in the passage of this bill And why
should 1 not appeal TO the farmer? What
man on this floor has a better right to
claim the earnest and hearty sympathy of
that noble body of men? l may truly say
that l am a farmer myself. Ny earliest
| recoIIections are tilling the SOIL plowing
the fields hOeing the potatoes, milking the
cows, doing the daily chores, and raking
the hay In fact, Mr.. President and fel-
low-senators, may say I was brought w
between two rows of corn"
! As the applause which followed the close
of lie Broke's remarks died away. a dis
tinctly audible voice was heard from the
seat of the senator from PenObscot:
"A pumpkin, by Georger'
And lie Broke's bill was utterly lost
from that moment.
