ALLEGIANCE AND U CONDE-

' Allegianto is defined by. Goss to be

himself of allegiance at plea:ire, or.by

Fifty years ago it was still the Whim
to speak of what are popularly called
the "Desk Ages," as ages of patellar
moral and mental darkness. In vain

and wonders which grew up all over
Earope during that protracted period,
and which even yet' astordah 'all who
look upon them; to those marvels in
painting and sculpture whichyet remain
unrivalled as models of taste and beauty;
to thou hospitals in which the loom;.

cobiced; to those seminaries of learning
whicianhen took root and deurialual; and

Mr. Huh= opened bar History of

mark that these ages were called dirk
not because they really were so, but bi

formation of dispassionate - judgmesis
upon the men or topics involvid.
- Hr. Maur:ruff, in his introduction to
his History of Retgland, advanced a step
farther than Mr. Raman, declaring
that it was difficult to decide to which'
- the English people owe moat, to the
Catholic Church or to the Reformation,
His algument to sustain this position of
uncertainty is, :that the first . band of
monks that passed evergreen the coati

bury, found the people sank bilnubarL

sod their 'posterity to that high, degree

turnings and °vette:Mogi of thole
times, when the memorials of learnlag
garnered wisdom of the ages—were
only preseryed in manuscripts—it was
inevitable that great fluctuations
should occur, in the stream of
knowledge. At one epoch it reseed al.
most entirely away from Christians, and
was fed and enjoyed with almost rigid
exclusiveness' by the sews. The pro-;
fe.siors O learning to most of the 'public
institutions and in the houses of the no,
Nilo., were of , this peculiar race. At
another epoch the nectarean cup pearled
absolutely into the bandit of the -Arabs.
Collor relates how, all through Spain,
the Moors were equally de-Toted to learn-

will not sell for two Millions." , The so
licitor saw there was leo More to be midi

but.wherever he went he was encount

lecturers could well keep up the wagon

grasp and oppress. They talk volubly
about the unprecedented and enormous
profits made by prOprietars; tell bow
rich they have beecatie;l and how easily
they can pay any reale of wages demand

pose,o good many manufacturers are

they have made as well , as they con.
They will ihow themselves bit be fools If
they do not. We suppose, moreover,
that artisans, mechanics and laborers
laid up handsome sums during the prey-,
mance of high wages; If they did not,
the blame rests with their Improvidence
and want of forethortght. .

This principle has received an admir
able illustration In the anthracite coal
trade. During the War the =leers en
tered Into a most clack% combination
for their own' advantage; which,
matter of course, rigorously excluded
the helpers by the employed. The
miners made, through I considerable per
'rind, as high as ale% or ten dollars
day, working not to • exceed Mx hours.
Coal went up In Inarket to littnkais
prices, to the sore dismay of hundred' of
tltousiada of templed Bring on salaries
or othir Axed Incomes, of widows
struggling with the needie or the wash
board to keep the wolf -of famine from
the door. The proPrietors 'of collier

wages Mu cut down. ;This is happening
sharply. A furdsys ago, we chronlelOd

authmate companlea had reduced wages
largely. We venture to predict that
I this Is not the utmost state Whlalt the
reduction will reach before the new year
I shall go that:. The opportunity of the
consumers of coal ttai . come, and they
will enjoy It. .
The same law is operating 1n all other

With hundreds of thousands of work
