BASEBALL AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The baseball question is receiving
considerable attention from ministerial
brethren of this city, and the opinions
expressed in the pulpits have given rise
to animated discussions between the
friends and opposers of the national
game, and are being used to bolster up
the arguments according as they seem
to apply. Carefully considered, how
ever, the views advanced by DR.. Cleve-
land, who frsnklya and vigorously recon-
mends indulgence in baseball and other
athletic sports, do not essentially differ
from those of DR.. Keen. AS reported,
the latter denounces the gambling feat
ures and other corrupt Accomplishments
of the League games and of other popu-
lar sports as now conducted, but does not
oppose the sports themselves. DR.. Cleve-
land is so convinced of the advantage
of outdoor a~musements and healthful
athletic contests to participants and
spectators, that he would have every one
who needs relaxation and inauguration
patronize the League games for the good
that is in them. By so doing he does
not belittle the evils of pOol-selling or
drinking, but rather, by encouraging
the attendance of the reputable element
of society. seeks to overcome these evils.
AS it is now, the larger number of men

The Charleston World takes issue
with the News and Courier concerning
the verdict in the McDow-Dawson case,
and concludes an able review by saying:
In conclusion we might add that we have
no hesitation in saying that nine out of ev-
cry ten of all classes of citizens of Charles
ton are of the opinion that the verdict was
the only one possible upon the evidence adj
duced at the trial. 1t might also be further
stated that not one of these same citizens,
had DR.. Mellow been on trial for his gene
dict of acquittal. But they do defend a
verdict of acquittal for murder, because,
like ell sensible men. they base their opin-
ions upon the evidence, and not upon bias
or prejudice.
That is, undoubtedly, a correct view
of the case. The defense of Mellow was
very adroitly and ably conducted, and,
as the case went to the jury, they were
fully justified in finding the verdict they
did. Perhaps a better one would have
been equity, but not proven" but, that
being out of the question, they were
bound to acQuit the defendant. Hun
dreds of glaringly unjust verdicts have
been found in South Carolina without
exciting censure or comment among the
people who are so indignant about this
one. 1t happens that in this case the
victim was a prominent man and the
slayer an unpopular one; hence the
effort to make a scape-goat. Under the
law and the evidence, the jury could o
honestly have found any other verdict
than they did.
