the habit OF celebrating the first hard frost by some
slight crime which will secure them snug quarters
during the winter An analogous practice has lately
been discovered by the police OF St Petersburg, where
the frequent commission OF petty theits by young
who apparently were not tempted by want has caused
bcwilduIment. The police have now HsceTtaned That
these thieves natives of the Grand Duchy OF FIN
land and that their motive Is TO escape from military
service under the law of Finland which does not allow
any who has been convicted of theft 20 serve In ths

simply that the punishment for theft Is much moro

PELPLT IND PL1TTOElf

The pulpit has been sharply criticised of
late for mcdding with criminal cases, inviting
libel suits, and other misdcmcanors. There is
il growing feeling that clcrgymcn are allowed
too great latitude in their preaching and ought
to cOnine themselves more closely to their
Legitimate business as messengers of u divine
gospel. Unqucstionaby there is reaction
setting in against sensational preaching and
popular lectures from the pulpit on the topics
of the day. Ecclesiastical opera b0ulic is less
attractive than it was, and clcrgymcn who adj
here closely to New Testament themes and
minister faithfully to the spiritual wants of
their lOcks are growing steadily i'm influence
and power Politics are seldom discussed even
in the more radical Protestant pulpits, and year
by year sermons are becoming more religious
and less secular. This is the uniform practice.
although there are garing exceptions to il to
which prominence is given III thc public press.
In majority of the churches the clergy rccog-
nizc the responsibility Of their sacred calling
and resist the temptation to preach what are
called popular sermons.
Clcrgymcn, however, lave political duties
which they ouSht not to shiIh. They are cit
liens, and bound by the very Scripture which
they interpret Z" To render unto Caesar the
things that he Caesars" They ought always to
vote; bat their duty does not end there.

speaking. Why should they not make adj

The successful career of Miss ClaXtOn, ut tho
Union Square Theatre is still fresh the public rec,ec
ton she was always an earnest actress always faithful
tasteful finely intelligent, and winning Ia her tompcra-
mcnt and her ways She never sighted any part that
she had to play and she manifested versatile talent and
genuine feeling In many characters. Whenever Miss
Claxton to New York, accordingly she well
coined with warm favor because remembered with cor
dial kindness Last night she came forward the Third
Avenue Theatre after quito long absence and produced
'The Sea of Ice" and greeted with ardent cor
dlality by a numerous audience. The drama has long
been known nere and it Is dservedy liked for Its Interest

element Of suspense, its many striking incidents ana PIC
lures aud its effective assertion OF the evcrfavoute pn-

Odrita and Marie de LdScouS present an actress win
fine opportunities Physical beauty Is essential Inas
noton is essential The wild Oveliness OF the supposed
Indian girl was made an actual influence by Miss ClaxOn
and the suggestion OF wildwood originality breaking
through civilized and polished manners was equally
well conveyed These are sufficient denotenents OF an
artist and they justified the plaudts with which she was

dresses ut political meetingsf The pulpit is
not the place for political harangues, but from
the platform during the week any clergyman,
who feels that it Is his duty to discuss the
questions Of the day, can surely do so without
improperly. Indeed, if clergymen would
oftener speak from the platform on political
issues and social questions, they would have
more leisure for preaching Christian truth, and
that alone, in the pulpit.
For example, at the meeting Of the Young
Republicans in Brooklyn on Saturday night
the most elaborate speech was made by
clergyman, the Rev. George K. Van de Water
Other clergymen, who like him are members OF
the club, have spoken at previous meetings.

results of Mayor Lows administration, and
made n convincing argument in favor OF re-
sponsible home rule and the duties OF citizen

and earnestness of tho preachers manner 1t
seemed like one, it was preached at the right
time and in the right place. If it was pollt-

Great allowances must be made, Just now. for our

freely admit that, if we were in its place, We
might feel even crosser than it does Since it seems
DESTROYS of talking about The TRIBUNEs crcua-
ton, We will take great pleasure in accommodating

We understand from The Hcrdlfs own columns
that it is itself extremely prosperous, now,
since it has reduced ITS price; that it has
conquered and crushed the bOated nowsdealcrs
who refused to handle it for SO per cent profit its
enormous sales that babies now cry for it lat The

in circulation is something tremendous
1t ought to know, and not about to say it
does not.
But We will remark to our reduced contemporary
that for every additional copy it has sold since its
reduction The TRIBUNE has sold at least two; and
will take great pleasure in uniting with IT in the
selection of impartial committee to ascertain aud
report the exact facts. As The Herdd seems to
think the matter of public interest, trust 80 fair
an arrangement will not be- refused 1t should be
of mutual advantage II should give The HGdd an
opportunity TO diSprove the general public impress
sion that it has not been gaining at all. but in fact
has been losing circulation for year past, aud with
especial rapdty since its quarrel with the news
dealers II would give rs an opportunity 70 show
The Herald which far as we know is the only
place where the facts are not already understood,
that THE TRIBUNE never lost one copy through the
reductions of its neghbors, but the contrary has
steadily and handsomely gained, day by day and
week by week, ever since.

who bonstcd that his literary performances

The horse fair at Madison Square Garden is
already an assured success, and compares Ia
vorably with any of the shows of this kind
which have been held in England or elsewhere.
There seem to be excellent representatives in
each class; but the hunters and the saddle
horses yesterday attracted great attention. As
q spectacle the exhibition is as dignifed as any
ever held in the Garden. The horse is a noble
brute, and knows how TO bear himself properly
when occasion requires.

There was another of those little "after-churoh'
difficulties in Georgia on Sunday. The quarrel had
begun ON baseball ground the day before, but all
parties no doubt, felt that it would be- more in ac-
cordance with Southern customs to finish off the
melee at church. So on Sunday the combat took
place. A father was killed, being shot five times,
and his two sons were mortally wounded. or the
attacking party of five only was injured, aud
that by n shot from of his friends. or
course all of them were "respectably connected"
II would be n positive relief from the monotony Of
Southern murderers in high standing to hear of one
who was di,reputably connected.

The steamship Heimdal has had remarkable
escape from destruction by fire. When 200
miles from this port on Sunday it became evil
dent that quantity of matches in the hold had
become ignited, apparently by spontaneous
combustion. As part of the adjacent cargo was
composed of liquors, great calamity was
feared. The captains care, however, prevented
the flames from breaking out, and the several
hundred passengers were safely landed here
yesterday. There have been number of in
stances of this kind of late-all of which in
crease the longing of the travelling public for
the day when freight shall go on one steamship
and passengers by another.

The Ba1di0 Herds.

1t is feared that the band Of buffalo

have been set by the hunters and the
herd is being driven slowly before the
flames and toward the settlements,
where they will he slaughtered In
wholesale numbers. So far as reported
the northern heard has not yet crossed
the Missouri. and 50 far this year
buffalo hunters In Montana have had
no work in their favorite line. Indeed
1t 10 useless to disguise the fact that
these monsters Of the plains are dis
appearing with marvellous rapidity.
Whether the herds are seeking new
grazing grounds remote from too fire.
quent signs of civilized man or
whether they are actually vanishing
from the face of the earth, very little
time will tell. Probably the latter IL
the case. Senator Vest said to Charles
the obstreperous chief Of the Flat
heads, there are no more plains" and
he was vely near the truth. The wild
Indian and the wild buffalo are In
the same predicament.
