The death of the Rev. DR.. Land
rum, announcement OF which is made
elsewhere, will recall the record of
one of the. bravest heroes of the cpl
demic of 1873, a man who, by bis
daily life during that mos awful Of Wis.
itations, exemplifisd the highest Of the
Christian virtues and proved himself
worthy to be called his Masters soD.
Moved by a profound sympathy for
the stricken multitude he made no
choice of those to whom he should
minister, but went about doing good
thus literally fulfilling the Scriptural
injunction. Strong in his convictions,
resolute in their propagation, he was
as gentle as a woman and as tender
amidst the harvest of death. His
whole life was devoted to the ministry,
and he was beloved by the Baptists OF
the South as one of the foremost of
their pulpit orators and most devoted
Of their pastors. Here in Memphis
his memory will ever be held in re-
verend respect as that OF true Christ
ian and honored citizen.

TIE testimony given by the Rev.
DR.. Daniel, Of this city, before the
Louisville Presbytery in the case Of
the Presbyterian Church VS.. Converse
& Converse, will be found on another
page. It is a fair, frank and manly
statement of the reasons that induced
him to join Drs. Martin and Boggs,
also of this city, in prosecuting this
case. DR.. Daniel vindicates himself
thoroughly as faithful pastor, an
honest and outspoken defender of
Presbyterian doctrine and iearlessly
truthful man, all Of which we have
known him to be ever since bis advent
in the pulpit OF the First Presbyterian
Church. This statement OF his puts
the Converse case fairly before the
country, and we direct special atten-
ton to 1t. As to what the Doctor says
about the APPEALS theology he is
quite right. He could not sfford to
indorse It, The APPEAL, as St. Paul
was all thiBgs to all men, is all things
to all religions. That is, its columns
reflect the theological views of
all men, and thus is a faithful
mirror as TO religion OF the commu-
nifty Tor which It speaks. 1t has no
theological opinions Of its own, but 1t
hes political principles to defend, and
with that work and the other great
one OF unfolding religion genera Iy as
an aid 10 morality and civil ltioD, it
contents itself, leaving dogma to tho
to whom hsir-tpitli0g on matters OF
faith Ia most dear.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
AND WHAT HE MUST no FOR THE
PARTY.
What Is Said About His Chances for
Reelection and Who Is TO
Be His Opponent.

New York, November IT, Charles
FL. Taylor, editor of the Boston Globe,
has sent to a nu Dber of gentlemen
prominent in The Democratic party
letters in which be asks the followi5 &
question: "What should President
Cleveland do during the next two
years in order that d sm ocratic success
may be assured in 1882"
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer replies, in an
editorial in the World, as follows /:
"The shortest answer would be that
the President should abandon his
negative, personal policy and adopt a
positive party policy; that he should
institute and cary out the reforms
which he was elected to enforce; that
he should, in word, pay more stten-
ton to ideas and less to officers
take in the whole WORK of reform in
stead of combining his attention to a
mere fragment OF it which is con-
tanned in the civil service Law. But
the President can snd should do more
than this. He shou d, by his appoint
ments, bis recommendations and by
persistent warfare upon grasping mo-
nopolies, plundering and corrupting
corporations, railroad rings and the
money power, show the working
men that the Democratic pp..y is, 10
actual performance, what it has al =
ways been by virtue Of its member
ship and it's principles, the + lend of
the poor. The grea est danger for
1883 lies in the Mt edless d, lection of
the labor vote. What is the President
doing to prevent itf"

TIE NATIONAL GAME.
The Pittsburg Team Admitted Into
the League-The New Rules
AdODteH.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. November 1.-THE
Board of Directors OF the National
Baseball Association held their annual
meeting today and duly awarded tie
championship OF 1885 to the Chicago
Club. N. E. Young was re electe
secretary for the seventeenth consscu-
tive time. Herman Doscher, expelled
by the Detroit Club in 1882 for foam
cial irregularities, was reinstated,
Upon the unanimous request of the
directors the charges made by the
Chicago Club sgaiDst Capt. A. A.
Irwin, of Philadelphia, were with
drawn. The charges were Withdrawn
on condition that rules to prevent a
recurrence OF the trouble will be
adopted. The rumorS that it YVES the
intsntion of the Pittsburg Bass-
ball Club to Apply for admis-
sion to the league were confirmed
by the unanimous admission OF
the club at the meeting, which
began this afternoon. w. A. Nimick
and A. X. Scandreet we're admitted 10
the association as representatives of
the Pittsburg team. The playing rules
suggested by the Joint Committee
were read and accepted by the league.
1t is rumored that the st. Louis club
rendered its resignation as a member
Of the league, and that the resignation
was accepted. The disposition of the
players has, it is said, been left to
committee Of three-Spalding, Soden
and Stearns-and they have decided
that the players shall be divided be-
tween the Kansas Oitys and Wash
ingtons. The report that St. Louis
had resigned was denied by the league
officials, who also discountensnced the
gossip concerning Kansas City being
denied admission. The denial in both
cases was, however, anything but en-
nhatic.

much stress has been laid upon the
editorial statement of the APPEAL that
a schism in the Presbyterian Church
might be fore. d II what we believed to
be the persecution Of DR.. Woodrow
was continued. We made that state
ment feeling quite jus fled in doing

a devout minister and pure Oh istian,
merely because he had to his own sat-
isfaction justified evolution as lot
inconsistent with the Westminster
Catechism and the other standards of
the PIesby terrain faith. Scbism has
almost invariably been forced by per-
secu,ion, as in Luther's case.

cleveland ais own successor

WASHINGTON, November 16.-Every
day tt eDgthens the belief that Mr..
Cleveland will be the candidate of his
party in the next cobte t. There
seems to be no other man on whom
the party can unite, even with the
unanimity that they could agree upon
Mr. Cleveland. Should they attempt
to take Mr.. Mcdonald, for instar ce,
the protection element OF the party
would not stand it. Should they at
tempt to take Randall the other wing
OF the party would rebel. Morrison
or Carlisle would not be more
available because OF their tariff
views. On the other side the
contest seems to be probably between
Blaine and Sherman. There is no
doubt that Sherman lie gaining strength
with his party. The very safe fiuan-
ciAl views Of this statesman make him
popular with large section of the
country irrespective Of party. This Is
particularly noticeable with the class
who refused 10 support the extreme
views OF the Morrison Carlisle school,
Yet there is no man whose every
movement attracts such attention as
those Of Mr.. Blaine. And there is no
man whose name can create the en-
thusiasm which his name awakens.

the policy Of the administration, has
given rise to a vast amount of COM
ment in the press throughout the
country as well as among the poll

day 10 a World reporter that he re-
gretted that his remarks should have
given rise to tuch mifcouception of
his feelings toward President Ceve-
laud /, indicated by The comments OF
certain papers. "The personal rels-
ons bstween the President and
myself are perfectly cordial and
triendly," eaid M. Donohue,
"but do not approve certain parts of
his policy. l can not see how my

tionably have the privilege Of saying

Mr.. Cleveland's administration Of the

ion supported in measure, Il

but it is still an opinion, though it may
not be the correct one. Mr.. Cleveland
