main results of the meeting OF the

operative organizations, in England,
numbering over two hundred thou
sand members, employing work
| ing capital of from seven to eight mil
lions of dollars, and doing an annual
| business of more than twenty-one mil
/ lions, Three of these societies have
large factories, and the cooperative
principle has also been extended, in
| the remote colonies OF the Empire, to
| the cultivation of cotton for these very
mills. The rapidity of their growth is
one of the most remarkable facts
seven.eights of them having been COM
menced within the last half dozen
years. 1880
The German societies, much later
than the English, owe their origin
| principally 10 Herman SchultZe, who
has been laboring in this direction
since 1850. The movement began
among small tradesmen, in the form OF
combinations for larger wholesale pur-
chases, or for advancing capital to
members. This species;of CO operation
has spread all over Germany, and the
associations already number over one
thousand, with 100000 members. Ed
ucational cooperation came next, as
general movement, in 1860 immedi-
ately followed by a rapid increase of
co operative stores, of which Schultze
was able in three years to estimate two
hundred, when barely fourteen had ex-
listed prior to 1860. They now number
at least three or four hundred. All
classes of society participate more or
less in these organizations, aud their
efforts have mainly been combined,
until very lately, to practical reform
OF the retail trade, for their own bene-
fits.
The DIsIurbed Condition of Italy.
GarIbaIdI, the Pope, the French. and
other Influences.
The New York Times, in an article
upon the present aspect OF affairs in
Italy, speaks as follows in regard to
Garibaldi's position and relation to the
present and possible future of that
country:
"Garibaldi and his schemes are excl
ting a great deal of keen attention
throughout Europe at this moment.
He has neither official position, nor has
he organized armies at his command,
like bismarck. And yet it is felt that
this man has power so great that the
Pope has been compelled to appeal to
the four Catholic Powers, mot including
Italy,) to know what help they will
give in case he makes his appear
ance with the Papal territories. He
holds within his hand forces which,
when let loose, must bring about re-
suits which, though not measurable,
are none the less subjects of apprehen-
sion and fearful foreboding. All we
know is, that the whilom- candle ma
ker of Staten Island has become madly
impatient with the continued dOmina-
tion of the Pope, and that-it is almost
impossible TO prevent him from giving
the signal for instant insurrection. He
is determined to see Italy a unit before
he dies, and to hoist again upon the
walls of Rome the flag which the
French tore down eighteen years ago.
There certainly seems to be no hope
for him now when France is ready to do
again what she did in ls49 but il Ma
pOleon gets into the Continental war
which everybody in Europe considers
inevitable, then will be Garibaldi's Op-
portunity. II looks as though lie had
better restrain his revolutionary forces
till them" rr. ..--.
In addition to the above remarks
from the Times we make the following
quotation:
From The Journal dss De6dLs, tugs.
Although eight months have now
elapsed since the French occupation
ceased IN Rome, there appears but little
hope of an understanding between the
Holy See and Italy. The latter Power
has made every advance, has renewed

there a better chance for the future
We cannot see that there is; the very
coHditio eaiSte1ldi of the Pontiticial State
being bar to either yielding or i'm.
proyemenL. AS to a Cancellation with
Italy, the results of the effoI Is made
by the Italian Government are well
known. The Ministry which had at
tempted them was forced TO retire when
its endeavors were clearly seen to be
fruitless, and all negotiations between
Florence and Rome had to be broken
off, Those essays at an accommoda-
ton it was that had kept the Romans
in state of calm by giving them some
hope. The Holy See has its reasons for
evading. By anathemas, excommuni
cations, and encyclical letters, 1t had
interdicIed Itself beforehand from any
accord with Italy, and Will not now
reverse its previous decision. As
to reforms, we have ourselves
often remarked tnat IL cannot give TO
its subjects, rights and guarantees with
out impairing that doctrine of infalli-
bility which by a confusion of powers
it has transplanted into its temporal
administration. II cannot give liber-
ties to its subjects without establishing
with Its own hands some separation be-
tween these two powers, the confound-
ing of which is the very essence of its
government. But whether the nature
of things or the horror ofprogress con-
demns ii not to grant anything, the re-
suit is the same; and the Romans can
now obtain reforms only by force. In
France, during solemn discussion,
the Minister of State said, 'The cause
OF the evil arises from the condition of
the Roman populations and the vices
of the Government which has emblt-
tered or provoked them.' How can an
end be put to the cause of the evil? Is
it waiting patiently until it shall suit
the Holy See to suppress them2 The
Romans have waited, and now all illu-
sion is at nm end. The truth must be
told; the Holy See, by its imm obility,
necessary or not, raises the revolution
ary question:, and in that course there
is danger of permanent conflict. 1t is
true that an ilustrious French Bishop
is spoken OF as the future successor of
Plus TX. BY abandoning the banks of
the Loire for those of the Tiber, he
would be changing the mitre for the
tiara. Supposing that this rumor, ad
dad IN lO many others had anna f0un-
