Discussion Of the Merits Of the Liar and
the DrunkaTd.

A debating society at Bel
mont has the following subs
iect for discussion: "Resolv>
ed, That the Liar has been a
greater evil to the country
than the Drunkard." With~
out any attempt to smear any
whitewash on the drunkard,
we will risk saying that if the
affirmative side goe down to
the bottom and fetches up all
the available argument
against, the liar, the drunkard
will look like a saint in COM
parison. Home
Many years ago, in the ru~
raj districts Of south Iredell,
a few plain citizens met at a
small house in The woods and
debated the question, (which
is the wust, the Liar or the
Drunkard" All available ar
guments against these two
Glasses were brought out and
exhibited in their worst form
The judges decided that the ?
drunkard was the worst OF
the two on the ground that
tie liar, while a bad citizen,
is in a measure shorn of his
} power for evil after he is
} found out, but the drunkard
is a continuous evil and mem
ace not only to himself but tc
others. Statesville Land

THINGS THAT ARE DOING IN IOWA.

Things are doing in Iowa that all
men should note. In the matter OF re-
form-speak the word softly, lest con-
yulsions occur in certain political ana
Journalistic quarters-Iowa ia doing
things to b. noticed and commended
and accept ID as the harbingers OF
other and 81 i'll better things. The lat
est reform movement is in Keokuk
where the mayor has given out coldly
that the mulct law must be obeyed
and saloonists pay heed to its every
provision.
Can good come out of Nazareth ?
Sure. There are times when it comes
tumbling, Keokuk, mark you, is a

claimed the mulct law. 1t is Keokuk,
ibounded by Iowa on one corner and by
Missouri and the Mississippi river the
rest of the way round, that casts
wicked precedent to the winds and falls
in line with the more Christian and

AN OcTOGeNARlAN SENATOR.

It is an old man, my lords, an old,
old man, whose trembling feet have
borne him to the door OF the United
states senate from the state Of Wis
consin. Stephenson is Is years old, by
reason OF great strength eight years
older than the Law has set as the limit
/ Of human life. He Is a. gentle, kindly,
honest old gentleman, against whom
mo breath Of scandal has blown or

political fight in his state, nthat he
stands for the. opportunity Of popular
expression on men and policies and

What are we to do with this multi

sixty years since Iowa was admitted.
What will the population of the states
be sixty years hence, and where shall
