Origin Of Lynch Lynch Law.

James Lynch was Mayor Of Galway,
Ireland, 1913. He had made several
voyages to Spain, and on one occasion
brought home with him the son Of a re
spectacle Spanish merchant, named Co
nez. Walter Lynch, the only son Of the
Mayor Of Galway, was engaged to beau
tiful young lady Of good family and for
tune. Preparatory to the nuptials the
Mayor gave splendid entertainment at
which young Lynch fancied his intended
bride viewed his Spanish friend with too
much regard. He accused his beloved
Agnes Of unfaithfulness to him, and she,
irritated at his injustice, disdained to de-
ny yls the charge, and and fhy parted in anger.
On the following hight, while Walter
slowly passed the residence Of Agnes, he
observed young Gomez to leave the house,
he. having been invited there by her father
to spend that evening with him. In the
madness Of Jealousy, Lynch, rushed on his
unsuspecting friend, who fed to a solitary
quarter Of the town near the shore. Lynch
maintained the pursuit till his victim had
nearly reached the waters edge, when he
overlook him, and stabbed him to- the
heart, and threw the body into the sea,
which cast it back again on the shore,
where it was found and recognized on the
following morning. The .wretched muir
derer surrendered himself, and his father,
being chief magistrate Of the town, IN
trusted with the power of life and death,
found himself obliged to condemn his son
to death, On the night preceding his ex-
ecution, his mother went to the heads OF
her family and prevailed on them TO. at
tempt rescue. The morning of the ex-
ecution, an immense crowd had assem-
bled, who cried loudly for mercy ito the
culprit. The Mayor exhorted them to
submit to the laws but, finding them de-
termined on "a rescue, he, by a aYdesperate
victory, oyercame, parental feelings, u and,
finding that his efforts to accomplish the
ends of justice in the usual place, and. by
theusua hands, were fruitless, he became

THE WORKLNGM MEN AND WHAT THEY

It is time to listen to the voice of the
WorklDgmen, that is raised everywhere,
sometimes in supplication, sometimes in

late, in anger and threat.

foundation of society and national prosper
ity. When he is disturbed the whole fabric
becomes unsafe.
1t is undeniable that the wOrkingmeu of
this country are not at rest, are not happy,
are not prosperous; but are poor, unem-
ployed, suffering.
All over the Union there have been for
the past two years strikes, contentious, and
in some places violent outbreaks. At
present there are millions of idle hands
and cheerless homes, and the workinRmen
are beginning to listen to Communists and
Socialists, and to feel that they are a seps-
rate class from the capitalists and employ
ers, who only seek to grind their faces for
profit.
Let this sentiment take root and develop, |
and the life of the strongest nation is in |
danger.
The violence of suffering men may be |
crushed by bullet and bsyOnet but unless
the dispute be settled by Justice, the des
perate spirit will not die.

establishment all the members have to
work ten or twelve hours daily. For A
family OF six persons the cost is about az

earn, as the depression of trade and the
reduction of time allows few to do full
weeks work, although wages are nominal

state of trade is deplorable. Factories are
run and sales made at a loss-except, per-
haps, the silk and button industries. Re.
