LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the saloon who declare that if it was not intended that men should drink al coholic liquor God would not have created the rye, the corn, etc, from which it is manufactured, the Ameri- can Issue says; They might declare that if God had not intended men to drink booze, he would not have ere ated the wood that builds the saloon, the brass in the fixtures, the quartz melted into the goblet or the iron which, molten, makes the stove. They might carry the argument farther and say that if God had not intended men to drink alcoho. that he would not have created the mouth with which to imbibe. Until 1t can be shown that God created mans tongue so that he could lie and hands that he might steal, there is not very much in the argument that the Creator made corn and rye that men might make alco- hol thcrefrom for the purpose of pois- oning themselves and their fellowmen for profit"

 A correspondent recently asked the department of agriculture, Australia, for the best and easiest method of killing crows, which were eating the eggs at the poultry yard.

There has been an effort, and there is yet, to make the measure a bankers bill. The friends of a rural credit bill which will be of real advantage to the farmers of the country in enabling them to utilize their combined credit to obtain cheap money on long time are trying to amend the bill so as to make it of real benefit
