V A i But in the matter of the advertise- ments admitted to his paper, Mr. Sheldon surely laid -himself open to. a- charge of either imbecilitv or the most agrant and revolting blasphemy. ~_ It is in this-particular that the rev.-or irreverent editor, receives his `most scathing denunciation. And, in our opinion, no words could be too strong in condemnation of the -ippant, rank hypocrisy visible on the - face of many of the advertisements in The Capital. Perhaps the most charitahle construc- tion to put on the whole matter in to say that, Rev; Mr. Sheldon'e zeal led him astray, and allowed him to become the tool of the enterprising publishers of the Kansas paper. At any rate the result, it is to be hoped. v7rill` deter imitators from duplicating the doubtful experiment by- playing the part of pseudo-religious demagogues. - It is not quite fair to -Dr. Sheldon to accept the strictures` of those of ` his critics who charge him with sacrilege in presuming toact as the exponent of Deity, because he explained that he was simply giving his conception of what was right. i V Fort CLEAN SPORT.
