At least if it is not yet a oompleted transformation the process Is still going on. Tbi. Is suggested by flaming posters put out by the brewers as a bait for the farmers' votes. It is well that thsy are recognised as an Important factor in government. Better still that they are regarded by the aiders and abettors of tbe liquor traffio as their most dangerous foe. The appeal ia a pitiable one. The farmer Is reminded of the great destruction to bis interests that .fol lows in the wake ;oprohibitory legis lation. This is enough to draw tsars from the Sphinx. Evidently something must be done. The handwriting la plainly seen upon the wall, and the merchant, tbe lawyer and the editor are passed by in the deep oonoern felt by the brewery and the saloonkeeper for tbe horny handed sons of toil. But we suspeot that the weeping brewery ia largely productive of croco dile tears anegthat tbe farmer knows enough to see through tbe gauiy pre tense. .
