Id favoiites will be seen on the cinder-track and Cant raid field at the athletic carnivals which ??re c 'miiiR thick and fast upon us. Labor Day c<p cially will be a gala occisi?n for the amati ui ethleics. Ainouit Uie immntant event? of the oomiiii, week will be the meeting of the Transconti r.ei:tal AsAociaiion, which opens on Wednesday noit at the Windsor Hotel, in this city. Tho principal ?abject of discussion will be the thorny quesiion regarding the rHations of the asso? ciai ion toward the Pacific Mail Steamship Com? pany, and the distribution of the assessment of ex]-ens?-s thereby ienderad necessary. It is generally anteipated, both in the Kast and also at San rVancisco, wr.ere the result of the meet in ? is await' d ?1th the keenest interest, that it will be impossible to secure a satisfactory Ml ni ? of the difficulty, and that the meeting will result in the dissolution of the association ?'ind in the outbreak of sitili a freight war as has not been seen in years. The reception of Mr. Gladstone's appoint niente has been markedly favorable. If any mistake was made it was ?? the treatment of Mr. Labouchere, as is shown in our cable let? ter. His appointment to the Cabinet wa* im poiwible. owing to the Queen's aversion to him ; but the fact might have been revealed to him in time to have enabled him to assume an atti? tude of indifference. Mr. Gladstone did not ??ask? the best use of his opportunity in dealing v? it'.i a I.adical leader who may cause him u great deal of trouble. Hut this was the only indioatTon of lack of tact and judgment. Tho new Government, is now organized for work, and has divided? the business of preparing bills among cjaunittees. The Prime Minister's en? ergy in cutting out work for his colleagues, and in subdividing the NowceatH- plan, as well as in pushing forward Home Bule, is characteriatic. Tho second week of tho switchmen's strike f'pencd yeaterday, with decidedly encouraging prospect? of an early termination of tho cou ???-t which ha* contributed so much during the la?t eight days to disturb trade and coni? mene, and to increase the cost of the most ordinary necrsaaries of life. The freight block? ade has at length been broken, and trains aro oam more running, the striker? being mani? festly ?wed by the presence of the large mili? tary force. Moreover, the effort? of the switch mea to induce the trainmen, the firemen and tbe engineers to join them are believed to have failed, in which event the strike may be con ?idered a? doomed to a tpeedy and ignominious trdlapse. Although tho madman who stopped Queen Victoria's carriage near Osborno yesterday and thrcat/ined to kill her unless she abdicated wax ?ecured end lodged in jail before he had an Wtaortunity of Buttine his menaces into execu tion. vet in viexv of tin? advanced ye.irs anil infirmities ?if the aged aororeign tho incident pis-sfssos ;ui importance ?Glich it might not otherwiso have had. and ?vili exritfl widespread regret ?m this sido nf th?> Atlantic, ?vherc the peoni? entertain s?i sincere a regard for the domeatlc vii t nos and persona] qualities ?if the British p?]??;. '???- Queen appear* to have re? tained the san??: composure and presen?-o "? mind which ?ho has displayed on ?ach ?>f the half a dozen occasions when attempts were made by madmen to .i?sa??inatc her. Tin: i.Essos of T?r WMEK. The last week has brought, in the estimation of many foreigner? and apparently of sumo Am ricans abo, a severo trial of republican insiinitions, (limit organizations of working ??-? have horn engaged in a straggle against employers, and deeds of violence have caused The militan forces of three States t-o ho call'd out fur the restoration <?f ordir and the enforce? ment, of law. The striken protest that they were not tlte lawbreaker?, and it would be inliiiit4-l,v to their advantage if the organiza? tions would make this clear to th?? popolai ap? prehension by stern ?up? re ss i on of all lawk ness. Hut the week end? with a triumph of order and of law, the tallita?? forces being no longe:' rosists-d nflywhere, th'Aigh it is vet n ijitewtmn whether tin? laws would ho resji-fcted and obeyed if the troops should bo withdrawn. It. is a necessary condition of civilized snoietv that the respect, for law and ihe restraint? of law ntu?t ordinarily be ?iifliciont to enable the daily work of industry and of Bxehange? to gi on without the p?eseme of aimed force? Transportation of produits from farms to facto? ries, or from factories I? farms, would in the long run be impossible if every freight-oar bad! to be guarded by soldiers. Hanks and broken could not continue in business if every door ?bad to be peipotually defended bv a cor? poral's guard. The sacred delights of homo life would be fopoaeible if there were needed at th? threshold of every homo a soldier of the state to piiard against intrusion. Civilisation has for its foundation a voluntary ios|iei t fm law and obedience to its restraints. When this foundation of civilized society is shaken, and Hagranl- disregard and deli aneo of law makes the presence of armed forces neces? sary for the protection of men in ordinary avocations, tho public rightly demands that greater respect for law shall be inculcated by punishment of lawbreakers. What excuse or pretext men may have for lawlessness, or wh??ther they have any. is a matter of small account. Nothing can .1u?tify insurrection against the law. and the first business of so? ci? tv is to teach that lesson by the punishment of those who have assailed the very foundation of order ami civilization. Every good citizen has a Hght to feel that he is not protected as he should bo by his Government, in the enjoy? ment of life and liberty and property, if the latvs upon whi?h he must ordinarily rely for prot.ec.ion are lnoken and defied ?vith impunity. It is not the rpiestion here ?vhether tlie law? breakers at tuie point or another were striker? or not. The law has nothing to do with that question. It recognize? that tho men hare a right, to work or to OBBM working, and that employers have a right, to make terms or to employ other men. The law knows only that certain penasi havo burned property, conspired to prevent the use of railroads, or violently assaulted peaceable citizens who ??ero willing to work ai wages offered. The??e ar? crimes against the law, and whether committed by one get of men or another, must be impartially punished, in order that the rights of all citizens may be protected and respecf. for the laws may bo restored. Tho obvious and urgent duty of labor or? ganizations is to take tlie lead in upholding and enforcing tlie laws which persons, pretend I bag to act in the interest of those organization? I have violated. Whether Ilio individual?? are ] strikers or not makes no difieren???? ; they are I lawbreakers. The body of organized workers ! can do nothing moro effective to enlist public ' sympathy in their behalf, nothing to dornon j strato more conclusively their own readiness j to respect and obey the la?vs, than to expose , and bring to justice those who have cast odium upon them and their organizations by illegal j aits. If tho switchmen at Buffalo and the j steel-workers at Homest/ad wnnt to kin<llo pub? lic opinion in their favor, they have only to | seize the men who havo been burning, assault? ing and shooting, and turn them over to the proper authorities for punishment. THE AMERICAS ASSOCIATION MEETING Nearly a quarter of a century ago tho British Association dropped fho practice of electing to its presidency men of social rather than mental ? eminence. A list of the association presidents ! since 1867 would embrace tho names of tho j foremost English experts of their day in tho higher branches of scientific knotvledgo. It isa laihor inter? sting coincidence that this year the nearly simultaneous meetings of the Brit? ish Association in Edinburgh and of the kindred body in this country, tho American Association for tho Advancement of Science, at Kochester sholild have been presided over by two of the I most celebrated exponents of tho essentially modem scieneo of geology?Sir Archibald Geikio and Professor Joseph Le Conte, Sir Archibald, who was knighted last year in recognition of his distinguished services as an interpreter of the m? sterious story of the earth's crust, has been for many years Director-Gen er;d of the British Geological Survey ; and " Le Conte s Elements" aro as well known to the average American college-man as his pro founder works are le practical students of natu? ral phenomena the timid over. President Lo Conte's kindly reference in his j opening address to Dana. Ginot, P?trie, Ag.'is 1 fgg and Hall, c mspieuous at the American nieot j ings prior to? the Civil War, ?\as coupled with ? a characteristic exhortation to his hearers not to cling too tenaciously*to tho past. "Tho golden age,"' said this veteran savant, " |g ahead of ns and not behind us." What an in? spiring commentary on the present attitude of ! scientific, inquisitors and tho temper in which j their researches ate undertaken! Seventy or j eighty years ago, what was known about geology um believed to be definitely settled, and learned men complacently dogmatized on what we must bow consider the pitifully meagre basis of their ascertained faits. At this end of the century their successors, grown wiser, boar in mind the complete revolution which has upset tho whole fundamental theory of this most material science, and aro content to )*> qOBBtb to coming generations an imposing legacy of unexplained wonders. As Professor Lapworth, tho president of the goologiral sec? tion of the. British Association, remarked tho other day at Edinburgh : " Geolog.? |g vet in her merest, youth." The modern geologist knot?? of three main groups of formations?the aqueous formations due to the action of moving water above the earth-crust ; tho igneous forma? tions, originating from belotv. and th? BMtft? morphie formations, effected by changes vritbjg the earth-crust itself. The first, or sfiatili?! group, has hitherto furnished the main body of the information collected by the geological investigator, and within the hist t?ventv vears iBMwtattt diaooverie? bave been grade concern iiig the relation of the rook-?trai a and their contents to elevation and depre?JOB. But tho great oceans of the ?arth still hide secrets that may never l?o full? revealed until the sea-floor ha? been mapped and inspected, and definite knowledge achieved of what lies beneath. What is true of geology is tino of most, other sciences. It is certainly true of physios; it is true of chemistry: it is tru?' in a remarkable and overwhelming degree ?if astronomy. Schi aparolli's lines on Mars the wholo body of star gazers havo of Ifttfl been assiduously scrutiniz? ing : and tho red planet, thanks to the nows papers. ha? conveyed to all the intelligent pop? ulations of the Barth a wonderful impili??? to exalted ?peculation with its nightly ascent above the eastern horizon. True it is, as the greatest of Greek philosoph'Ts found out. that the sum of kno??ledge is to knot?- how little we knotv. Mr. Kdison is reported to have said that he believes the existen??? of (rod can al ui? st be demonstrated by chemistry. The I? ad lag students of science and revelation have oeaaed to regard the two elements as ineeon? eilable, and theologians are every day foitify ing th? ir Scriptural doctrines with illustrative proof drawn from tho natural wonders of the ma? terial universe. We havo learned enough to assert that there can I"' BO linality in any sci? ence, and that the best effoits of human en-rgy and acufeiK'ss bave M fu onlj revealed the borderland of a great unknown. The hopo of notable gatherings of scientists, like that BOW in session at Boeheeter, la morel? l?> illumine frith a faint ray erbai has so far remained the vast abyss of human ignorance : and the thought can be hardly less fascinating to the Blind of the inquire,? than stimulating lo the soul of him who believes.

Colonel Anderson's forcible renette and the signal rout of the warring Coal Creek atinen by the Tennessee militia ander General Carnea emphasi/.c the momentOUJ gravity of ihe pn??nt situation, though they may seem to point to an early relief. With a thousand aoldien and a poaae of civilians ready I ? invest their atoan fain stronghold. BO doubt ?an now exist of the ultimato subjection of all the riefen and the triumph of tho insulted law. The baie thought of tho price at which this might be aconm plishe?! is, ho?vevei?. sufficiently appall? ing, and no humano man who real? izes tho consequence? involved in this dead? ly strife of brother and neighbOT ran fail to deplore anew the QBBSi s that have le?! up to it. Tho totnl detriment to the Si ite is not ex pies?ible in terms of prodi and Ion, though the mere money damage muai be enormous. Re Binneratire contract* are deranged, the Stato'? resources aro ohstru? tod, tin? oonfid ace of cap? ital is shaken, and taxpayers will feel heavily the burden of a oostlj militai? expedition. V?-t all this dwindle? into Insignificance beeide tin? i-nino again?! Individual? and the reproach fastened <<n popular government. The Tenneatee mining ?\ar i? notan affair of yesterday. It began, in a small tray, thirteen months ago. and the story of ita calamiti.u prolongation COftotttatea an almost incredible ?hapter ?if political trimming, e\. lutivi? inoon pet once and penonal Irraaolofion. In July, 1891, tho free colliers at l?rico vili?? ro*e Bgainal fli?? oonvicts, bosnio ??hum they had worked pwooablj for year?, t>> ahovr their reaentateal at a reeent rene\?al of the odiooa convict lease !a?v. Governor lluhanan, in perfunctory ohcdi enee to established prvco.lent, ordert ?I ?"it :i handful of militia to awe them. The Mitten who inhabit a wild mountain regioa and ar?? chai.ie'.eristiia'ily inticpid, retorted by Intrench? ing themselves and threatening to pick ?iff every militiaman from an ambush. At this acati crisis the colonel in command, actuated ap patently by order? fr?im headcjuarti rs. igiio minion?lv rotre.itid ?vith the contri? ts t" ? noi villo, thus overtly conceding to the atinan the unheard-of privilege of noned lnaurrr?7tl??n. Tho miner?, naturally emboldened, then bar gained Bfith the Governor not to Btolest the cuiivicts ?>r burn tho stocked? s while he ?hoiiltl call an extra session of the Legislature t?i re p?al the law. True, this extraordin?r? oflicia! did feebly protest his distaste for a bargain he OOtlld bot guarantee seeing that lie posassSBd BO guiding controfovr legi?lativ?? action. Hut h?? \?as soon hectored into submission- with lb? inevitable result. The I.egslatuio iru-t. paaa ?1 Inspired ics >lutions upholding Ins " idurageo'is course,-' were buttonholed by the lobbyist? ??f both sides, wrangled hotly for six ?veeks, and then adjourned, leaving the laxr pieeigely M it stood, and the miners' right to la?vle??ness 1111 chall?*nged. Tho miners, by way of assorting it, promptly liberated more convict? and bunioil somo stockades, and until last week practically held in terror a second handful of citizen sol? diers marched against them apparently to sue appearances. Tho Knorville to?vn bell, that last Thursday rang out the riot call, sounded the knell of good government in Tennessee, so far as its present Chief Magistrate is concerned. Fotta? nately, the Stato is full of loyal and lourageous citizens, ready to vindica!? its honor and ?tan?! up for the integrity of fres institutions. Major Carpenter, beset by alarmists who told him he was marching to certain death, cried : " Hoys. I guess we will go OB." Colonel Anderson asked to surrender, besought his opponents to retire and not provoke the retribution it. ??as his duty to administer. Such examples of coiirago and forbearance thn??v into only darker relief tho blundering supinoness of the dis? graced Ktecutive. Of course, he now rspora ostentatiously about upholding tho "majost?, of tho law," and frantically orders out "all tho militia in the ."state." Bttt th? battle has been fought out, in spite of him and his ad? visers, and by reaction from the very disasters ho chiefly incited. Ho has shown erbai dangen may attend popular government by thoughtl??? agents, assuming its honors as a political plum, without thought of its responsibilities. J|?? ought never to havo retreated, at any cost, from his first honorable stand. He ought never to have listened to'a whisper of compromise until tho miners had laid down their arms. Mr? ought promptly to ha? o proclaim'd martial law erben the truex-, was ended, whether technically justi? fied or not, and once having reassembled tho troops, ho ought to have reinforced them to tho point of effe? tiveness and IIIMWWpgUBllB?ne|j have held them to their duty. Public sympathy at fhe outset was whollv with the minors in regions not pecuniari!?? affected and where tho issue ?vas understood. Although Governor Huehanan as a legislator vofed for tho Convict Lease law, tho BjtlBJBIg is inherently and peculiarly detestable to free Americans. Every upright citizen musi have ;1 radical objection to compulsory association at his work ?vith convicted criminals: and it is Jho misfortune of tho hanhvorking TgnangBtig miners that they lacked an oflicia! ruler ?piali lied to elicit its huvfnl expiession. Of course th?? immediati? abrogation of the lesena would havo entail???! heavy |ogg to the State, though ?vhy the conti act? ??ore not modified u, permit th?? employment ?if convicts hj sp?cifia! mines only, and by themselves, ?s ? mystery vet un? explained.

Porter gave lati Sundaj in his nddress at Asbury Park are most interesting and Hiiggesiive. They were, of emise, taken from tho returns of the eleventh census, and many of tho facts given were t.rVn made publia for the Bret time. There is. indeed, a pictu leeone feature about the exhibit of religious growth in this country that will attract the attention even of those least interested iu ( hristianity. There ar??. for instance, nearly mo distinct religious organisations in th?? United >tat"s, tho Barnes of many of which are almost identical. Goad examples of this are the M Piesbyterian church in the United States of America" and the " Presbyterian Church in the United states.? There are eleo four brancha? f>f Reformed Presbyterians, with al? most, tho same title. Four denominations call th'-mselves simply " Brethren/' to distinguish which in the returns it was necessari t? attach the Roman numerals I, II, III aad IV. There ai?? i.vn Churches known a.s the "Reformed Church la America," und the" Reformed Ohurch in the United (Hatea," popularly distinguished by inciting the words "Dutch" and "Cer? n?an'' in biacket?. Moreover, th" lendenej to multiply sects ;s shown iu the queer names whiih some offshoots from the great denomina? tions have adopted. Most people 'nave heard of the Seventh Day Baptiste, whose nani" suffi? oientjj indicates iheir principal tenet. But Im.v few intelligent citizens there ate who have ever heard of the Six Principle Baptists, or the Mudbead Baptiste, or the River Brethren, or the Old Two Seed in Spirit, or the Primitive, tho Free-Will, the Original Free-Will, the Q< li? erai, pr the Getterai Pree-WUll Still again t?tere are the Orthodox, the Hicksite, the Wil burit", and th?? Primitive branches of Uie So? ciety of Friends. And if Lutherans there aro seventeen or eighteen distinct organizations. Even tho smaller bodies have many branches, as, for example, the Mcnnonitcs, numbering in all about it,000 communicants, which have t.weave branches. To the outside it would seem Bl though the differences between many of these sects must be infinitesimal : and no, in point of fact, they are. Cut those who sup? pose th.it ? union of such bodies is feasible, fail to estimate the strength of denominational pride, ^r the persistence of ancien? dcnomin.'i liniial tenda. htatidea that, many of these bodies ate firmly Oonvinood that their cr?ed is tho only true statement of Christianity, and therefore the more earnest they are in their belief the less chance then? is of their uniting with the other members of iheir denominati, nal fainiiv. .\s ? ?nattes of fact, there is more hope of union between som.? of t|?. gfsjgi ,i,.. nominations than between the branches of the sain?? denomination, on the principi" that familv feuds are always ni:?-t Utter. The growth of the Churches sino 1850, the only ,)";ir bef?te 1800 when there were any traitworthy returns, ha? l.? remarkable. In tho form, ? year, for instance, the number of church cdilices was I8.IM wWU ... u<m ?t, ?vas 142.256. an increase of mofo'than 272 per cent Of the individual Churches tho Roman Catholics ahow tho greatest gro?vth in this re? spect, tho incrca?o being more than 614 per cent. As to tho value of church property in 1?G.0 it was |81.44?t3Tll ?hile in 1890 it ?vas |6Sl,231,8?t3, an increase of more than 621 per cent. lb-re again the Roman Catholics lead ?vith an increase of more than 1,1 TH per cent, tho Lutherans following, with an increase of miro than l.Oils per cent. In tho actual lumber of church edifices tho Methodists were first in 1*.">0. and still retain that position, hav? ing had in 1K90 44.244 church edifices, the Baptists following with 39,412, and tho Pres? byterians with 12,463. According to the re? turns, tho five principal denominations in I8M hid the following number of communicants : Congregational, ">12.771 ; Lutheran, 1.199, .-.11: Methodist 4.255,377; Presbyterian, 1,278,816, and Roman Catholic, 6,250,045. The other denominations foot up tho total number of communicants M about 20,000,000. In other words, tho number of churches ha? multiplied nearly three times in a trifle more than a generation, and their money value has Increased more than sixfold. Not the least in t mating fact la this exhibit of growth is the table devoted t> tho colored denominations, which shows that tlurc are 2,379,100 colored church m? mbers. having church edifices valued a! 813,408.829. Altogether the eleventh con si s slums a most encouraging growth of the Churches, though a more careful inspection of tho returns ??ill lie needed to show whether or not they aro keeping pace with the gro??th of ? ho country. The thanks of the country are duo to Jr. I'd?;? r and to his accomplished assistant in this branch of censas work. Dr. H. K. Carroll, for tho thorough and accurate statistics of religion which they have gathered together. In this feature th" eleventh census is unique, and repre s? nts .-m amount of painstaking labor that no outsider can appr?ci?t??. The Free-Trade Democracy hae its English thiorio?.
