A Wisconsin
Prophecy
In June, according to the
Philadelphia North American,
Edward J. Ryan, chief justice of
the supreme court of \\ isconsin,
gave this prophetic warning to
the graduating class of the I ni-
versity of Wisconsin:
"There is looming up a new
and dark power. I cannot dwell
upon the signs and shocking
omens of its advent. I he accu-
mulation of individual wealth
seems to be greater than it ever
has been since the downfall of
the Roman empire. The enter-
prises of the country aie aggie-
gating vast corporate combina-
tions of enexample capital, boldly
marching, not for economic con-
quests only, but for political pow-
er. We see their colors, we hear
their trumpets, we distinguish
the sound of preparation in theii
camps.

The Dark
Ages
A subscriber at Bazine writes
to the effect that the editor of the
moral and agricultural guide has
taken a crack at a number of sub-
jects and now he, the Bazine sub-
scriber, wants to know about the
dark ages, when they commenced
and why so called.
There is some difference of
opinion as to when the dark ages,
more generally known as the 111 id-
die ages, commenced and when
they ended. The better author-
ities however seem to be gener-
ally agreed that the middle or
dark ages, so called, commenced
about the middle of the fifth cen-
tury after Christ, about 450 A.I).
when the Goths and Franks and
other northern tribes came down
and beat the everlasting whey
out of the Roman Empire and
took possession of things gener-
ally themselves.
As to the time of the ending
that is generally conceded to have
been in the latter part of the h if-
teenth century when Columbus
made his wonderful voyages of
discovery that opened for settle-
ment a new continent.
The middle ages marked the
breaicing down of the old Roman
civilization and the end marked
the beginning of what may be
called the modern civilization.
