each such movement has in a short time been followed by an equally sharp resc- ton in the other direction. It cannot be justly claimed that the disciplining of any
 heretic or independent thinker has at a
 time been followed by 8 permanent and
 valuable gain in the intellectual constitu-
 ency of the church. There is good reason
 for this. In the present day, creeds,
 whether social, political or religious, have
 little hold upon the consciences of man kind. The moment the right of indepen- dent investigation has been conceded to 6 thinking man, that moment it becomes practically impossible for him to adopt with absolute conscientiousness set of beliefs drawn up by other men. When these beliefs have been outlined upon pa- per by men living in the intellectual and social surroundings of the seventeenth century, the impracticability of such quest is still more positively manifest. Thus the question reduces itself to two alternatives. Either the preachers and teachers of given sect must preach &C., cording to their honest and independent convictions, or else they must. shut the eyes of their individual judgment, and subscribe to their Westminster comics sions and their prayer-book doctrines, without asking any further light. But the second alternative is not often possi- ble without hypocrisy. Even the most thorough-going defenders of old creeds- such for example as Dr. Patton and Dr. McCosh-are appealing in their own be- half to the exercise of independent req son. But they have invoked a very potent spirit. Rightly they must abide the con- sequences of their own action. Yet if they follow the policy upon which certain rigid leaders are now insisting, and refuse to those who disagree with them the coun- tenance and honors of the church, what other result can follow but a gradual loss by each of these denominations of its stongest leaders and most faithful work CTS! In other words would not the policy of these aggressive friends of orthodoxy lead their denominations slowly but sure ly along the road to decay!

The Uprising of Orthodoxy.

The Uprising of Orthodoxy.
 [Frem the New York Commercial Advertiser.l
 Students of ecclesiastical history may we'll pause to ask themselves whether we are approaching another era of church disruption over the question of orthodoxy. There are certainly present indications, moro marked than for many years past, that believers in the strict interpretation of old creeds are resolved upon forcing into ecclesiastical courts the cases of cler- gymen who have differed from them in their incorporation or application of such creeds. The Andover contest seems to
 have been kind of opening gun. More
 lately the trial of Dr. MaoQueary has ex-
 tended the movement to the Episcopal
 church. To-day we are on the eve of a
 determined effort in the Presbyterian body
 to discipline Professor Briggs. It is inn
 possible not to wonder what can be accom- plished, even by a successful vindication on this basis, of the strictest interpreta-
 ton of the old creeds. In similar move
 ments of the past the administering of
 such discipline to minded clergymen has had double effect. First it defined with sharpness and precision
 what was the official opinion of the acting church organization; and second, it drove out of the ranks of the sect in question everybody who did not subscribe to the opinions and traditions of the majority. But even in these instances it has been g grave question whether the denominations were benefited or injured by the result. It is certain that they lost the devotion and services of many able leaders, and that these leaders were followed in their withdrawal by large contingents of wor. shipers. It will doubtless be argued that l the result was beneficial to the denomina- tion as whole, because it was thus pre- vented from lapsing as body into heresy and error. But it is very much to be questioned if any such results have actu | ally been attained.
 It may very well be that movements oi l this kind have been followed by period of quiet submission on the part of thu worshipers, as a whole to the cardinal doc trines thus prescribed. But on the othel hand there is nothing more certain in tn teachings of history than the fact ths

1 THE SLAUGHTER AT FORMEIS. bered Among the vfctirns-Wanton Inhumanity Shown by the Troops The Town in a State of Sfege-ln- tense Popular Commotion.
 PARIS, May 3-The details of the labor
 trouble at Formeis immensely heightened
 the political importance of the incident.
 The fact that six women, several children
 and eight men were killed on the spot,
 while twenty were seriously wounded, gives the affair the character of massacre. The soldiers were merely exposed to stone throwing, but they replied with successive volleys from their new Lebel rifles, infict- ing frightful wounds on their victims. The houses exposed to the fire were rid dled, and there is every sign that reck- less and wanton inhumanity was shown by the troops. The local popular commotien is intense, and it finds a response in the growing effect in every working center Formeis is practically tonight in state of siege. Cavalry patrol the streets and everywhere greeted with yells of reproduction from excited groups of men and women. The tension of feeling may be judged from the fact that the mil tary are hailed with cries of ':Vive Prus- sia." The funeral of the victims was fix ed for to-day, but the enormous number of workmen arriving from other industrial centers caused the government to send for endorsements and to order the postpone ment of the funeral until to morrow. The prefect to-day refused to receive a deputa- tion asking for the removal of the regi- ment that fired upon the crowd. A sec tion of the left and the socialist and Bou- langist deputies join in demanding vote of censure against M. Constans, minister of the interior, as responsible for the slaugh- ter. motion to that effect will be made in the chamber of deputies tomorrow. A majority of the right and left approves generally the measures of repression taken by M. Constans throughout the country, but will advocate an inquiry into the con duct of the troops. Parliamentary circles view the affair as shaking the position of the ministry. Labor centers throughout France are profoundly moved and public meetings here and at Marseilles, Lyons and elsewhere are being organized to pro- test against the precipitate action of the authorities.
 PARIS, May 3.-It is learned that the sub-prefect of Fourmies ordered the firing on the crowd. It wonld have been still worse had not the mayor risked his life and rushed between the combatants and implored them to stop fighting. This is the first time that the Lebel rifle has been used against human beings.

In the vicinity of Clarendon great trouble is sxperi- enced in keeping the fire away from the town. At Sheffield the owners of oil derricks are fighting the fires, and so far have managed to save everything except one or two rigs. At Ludlow the noun tains are full of fire. At Wilcox the fires are running up one side of the noun tain and down the other. Around John sonburg and Ridgeway the fires are raging furiously. but the timber and low mountain growth does not come close to the towns, and they are not in imminent danger. Down on the middle division of the Philadelphia and Erie railway the mountains are full of fire. Game, including deer, are driven in herds into the small lumberinp toWns
