Pulpit Topics To-day.

The rumsellers and teetotalers will have
free di cussion this afternoon on the uues-
ton OF license or no license. Mr. Leigh. of
Brooklyn, will maintain the affirmative side,
and Mr.. Pogson, of st. Louis, the negative.
OF course, both are thoroughgoing temper
ance men, and differ only as to the means to
be adopted to carry out their principles
Mr.. Leigh would legisate rum altogether
out Of existence, and therefore believes that
the State Legislature is the place to begin
the temperance crusade. The Gospel Tent
worshippers will also consider temperance
themes in temperate way this afternoon,
and Mr.. Bonham will point out some
foreshadowings of the Day of Judgment.
Mr.. Mccarthy will harmonize religion and
science, and Will extract certain practical
lessons from the life and recent death Of
the Indian chief Osceola. Dr. Wescott
will perform a similar operation on the lite
of Moses, while Dr. Knapp indicates Gods
time to help and work for His people. A
great many think that winter is the time
evidently forgetiul that times and seasons
make no impression on and no difference
with GOD. Mrs. Evans-Peck will picture
life sights and describe scenes which have
an actuality in the everyday experience of
thousands in this and other great cities Dr.
Holme will impress upon his congregation
the necessity for an all-day-long religion,
which keeps the heart and the hand busy in
works of kindness and OF love. The more
OF such religion we have the better will the
world be for our dwelling in it and we for
being here.

A Dlosdy Indian Battle-The Old and
Fatal Biunder.

Fatal Biunder.
The headlong dash which sent the gallant
Custer and his three hundred cavalrymen
to death at the hands of the Sioux, on the
Little Big Horn, has evidently been repeated
by the forces under General Gibbon and
with similarly deplorabIe result, on the
Big Hole River, with the Nez Perces. The
result of rash attack by inferior numbers
on q superior force. in strong posi-
ton, is the story of recent Russian
defeat in Europe, and it is pitifnl
to think that in our pygmy Indian
wars all the old blunders must be
re-enacted on as large scale as the forces
involved will allow. The campaign under
General Terry, which received its Plevna in
the massacre on the Little Big Horn, was a
series of plumbers in which, it will be re-
mem bered, Crook was fought back to his
base on the south, while Terry had to retire
to the north. Three columns we're sent out
to annihilate Sitting Bull. He whipped
two of them ip detail, and the third,
under General Gibbon, was only USE
full to escort the remnants of the sec
ond back to the Yellowstone. This
surely should have had its lesson for our
officers, but the details of the bloody COM
bat on the Big Hole River show that it was
entirely disregarded. One hundred and
eighty-two men attacked force of we'll
posted and Admiralty handled hostiles
probably twice their number. Of course
there was bravery and dash and all that sort
of thing; there always is in American fight
ing material; but the result which leaves our
troops hemmed in by the savages and fully
half the number hors de combat is most
unpleasant to contemplate. A captain and
lieutenant killed, the colonel commanding
and three lieutenants wounded, and the
casualties footing up close to hundred
men are SO many proofs Of a military blum
der. 1t is hard to conjure up anything
sadder in the possibilities of the soldier
than that Of his career ending in
a blind and mad fight with savages
in the half explored wilds Of the
heart of continent. Yet they go
forward without finching to the sacrifice,
and there seems no effort made by those in
authority to arrest it. If General Towards
''plan," which had some vague arrangement
for crushing Joseph's band between two
Forces is responsible for this disaster he is
certainly open to grave censure. Having
slipped out between the wide apart bars of
the trap set for him the willy Indian finds
himself attacked by troops not falf the
number of his own, with Howard and his
avengers" some sixty miles away. The
effect of this savage victory upon the hest
tating tribes may prove too much for their
wild instincts, and the government will
find in any case heavy task before it,

Tn. Broth erhood of Engineers.

There is An apparently well-founded re-
port that those locomotive engineers who
united in the recent strike, finding that by
transgressing fundamental rule of the
Brotherhood they are likely to get in,o
trouble in the organization, have determined
to call for general strike, and that at their
instance the Grand Committee has been
summoned for deliberation.
1t is a rule of the Brotherhood as MIR.
Arthur, its chief, showed in letter to the
HERALD some days ago, that there shall be
no strike on any road without previous
attempt by the Brotherhood for an amicable
settlement of difficulties that all grievances
shall be referred to committee OF thirteen
members, elected annually by the whole
body, and that the decision OF this commit
tee. of which no member belonging to the
division proposing to strike shall be part,
is final This rule is very good one, and
we should not suppose that under it a strike

When contractors and others are granted
the privilege of removing rock within the
city limits by blasting it would be well if
they considered that the residents in the
vicinity of their operations have some rights
which they are bound to respect. On the
other hand, all persons who may be en-
dangered in any degree by these operations
should exact the entire recognition of their
rights from contractors and their employers.

The "star" and the Drama.

At certain periods of the year it ID neces-
sary to have good growl over the decay
of the stage In the sad nights when the
summer ''star" is twinkling TO a limited and
perspiring audience, when managers from
the Western and Southern circuits, impresa-
rios OF opera and concert troupes and voluole
agents of popular favorites" are twenty to
the block on Broadway from Houston street
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the eye that
searches for progress in art is likely to close
in distrust Of the near future. The ear is
likely to hear much panegyric of professional
trash and a vein of criticism that leaves
art on one side or measures it by the dollar
gauge. Sixty or more combinations are
said to be going out on the road, some to
Oil City, some to Wahsatch. If they
left residuum of good companies tor
the metropolitan theatres We could
pardon all the wandering "stars," for
they are in q modest way the dramatic edu-
Gators of the denizens of the cities whose
sites were yesterday the margins Of frog
ponds. This continent has to be built up
dramatically, and our Johnny Thompsons,
Oliver Doud Byrons and other people with
over alarming or too familiar names and
blood and horror dramas put up, so to speak,
log hut OF the play where hereafter
will rise temple Of Thespis. While we
hope, therefore, that the Johnny and the
Lydia Thompsons will not have it all their
own way in New York during the coming
season, and that at least couple Of our
theatres will be free from the faint of run
ming worthless pieces for the rustic mar
ket let us give the poor ''star' smile
on his or her journey to the wild.
They will need all the sympathy they can
get ere the winter is over, for the wrecks of
many band of heroes OF the flaming pos
ter on the dead wall will be strewn among
the hotels and along the railroads of Indi-
ana, Missouri and Illinois, and even beyond
Cheyenne. Thus the profession will
learn in time that half loaf
in a stock company is better than pre-
carious crust in Peoria. By that time, too,
the metropolitan public will be in more
generous mood.
Our Partisan letter gives some very in
teresting particulars of the lives of the lead
