N ARIOUS theories have been ad- " vanced as to the origin of the
 term, lynch law" as applied to that mode, practiced by certain men of taking the law into their own hands when an outrageous crime has been com mitted and dealing summarily with the offender, but the truth of the matter is this: Lynch law was instituted by a man who was noted for his great wis dom and justice, strange as it may seem, a man whose dealings with his fellow man were of such character that there was seldom if ever, an appeal from his decision. Judge Lynch" was not myth, but real man of flesh and blood. and a dominant factor in the affairs of his community.
 The term Lynch law is derived from decision rendered many years ago by Judge Cyrus Lynch, a Virginian. He re- sided in the neighborhood of what is now the city of Lynehburg, Va, and was man of great influence and power In his community. No question was too small and none too great for him to decide. It Is said of him that he saved the courts a great deal of work-many disputes and misunderstanding being set tied by him. He was, in short, a sort of local Solomon whose genius and wisdom were recognized and unquestioned. To appeal to Judge Lynch was to get justice this was an unwritten law in the neigh borhood.
 Almost imperceptibly his power increas- ed until he found himself called upon to settle cases of the gravest importance, and, finally, during the height of his pop ularity, there was brought before him a man guilty of a far more serious crime than that committed by any culprt who had as yet appeared before him. Local history is not clear as to the exact na- ture of this crime and judges the black ness of it only by the verdict which was rendered.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE /?

Last Friday night at midnight. at Altman,
Colo, 200 soldiers visited the meeting of the
Free Coinage Union, and arrested seven of the
most prominent union men in the district. A
guard was throwa around the meeting place,
and the officers announced that every man, be-
fore he would be allowed to depart, would have
to submit to an examination. No specific
charge has been made against the prisoners
They are held under the same conditions as the
other men WHO have been arrested since the
arrival of the militia in the district All three
members of the executive committee in charge
of the strike are now confined in the guard
house.
An association of manufacturers, railroad
men other corporate interetts may have meet
ing to hatch up some scheme to 'do" the pub
lie, or to cut down the wages of their employees,
or to arrange for lockout, to increase prices
for the people TO pay, and the meeting is not
molested. Nobody is arrested. Everything
passes off smoothly. After the meeting the
representatives are wined and dinea.
Why the difference?

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE TRICK.

The legislature which turned down Ed Hoch
for state printer and elected George A. Clark
turned trick which gives Clark the office till
1907. The trick was concealed in constitu-
tional amendm ant resolution changing the
method of electing the state printer-the peo-
pie to elect, instead of the legislature. This
amendment is all right-the printer should be
elected by the people. But the resolution pro-
vides that the present state printer shall retain
his Office until his successor is selected, and if
the people accept the amendment next year, at
the ballot box, the Legislature must enact law
providing for the election of state printer,
and the people could not elect printer until
1906, which would keep the present printer in
office until January, 1907.
This is said to be one of Cy Leland's tricks,
and the anti-Lelaud crowd will try to force the
election of a new printer i'll 1905.
Cy is "gane" old rooster, as sly as a fox,
and he is pretty sure to win the game.

GOVERNOR DURBIN'S INCONSISTENCY.

Governor Durbin, of Indiana, made speech
before convention of members OF the Sons Of
Veterans, at Atlantic City, N. j., the other
day, in which he scored those who criticize
public officials and find fault with existing con-
ditions and public institutions. Mr. Durbin
says "these agents of discomfort are as selfish
in purpose as they are malign in influence
Continuing, he says: "For years, it has
been the effort of demagogues of the platform
and the desk to create spirit of discomfort di-
rected against the existing order, and to tan
into flame the feeling of unrest already smol
deiing. Not only has indiscriminate vili6ca
ton of men in public position become fixed
nabit with this class of critics, but our institu-
tions themselves have been placed in such a
light if the allegations of these reckless dema-
gogues had been believed, or if their intima
tons and suggestions had been acted upon, we
would have had, long ago, not simply an occa-
sional assassination or sporadic outbreak of
organized lawlessness, but revolution"
Governor Durbin is very touchy about these
things. He doesn't like to hear people say
anything about the way he is protecting ex-
Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, one of the
murderers of Governor Goebel, and preventing
the law from taking its course. We do not
wonder that this is such tender spot with
Governor Durbin, Tut he should be little
more consistent, to say the least.

LET THE PUBLIC PAY THE BILL.

There was conference between the coal
miners and operators at Kansas City on Thurs
day of last week. James Mooney, miner Of
Novinger, Mo-, member of the national board
Of the United Mine Workers of America, made
speech, in which he suggested that the min
ers and operators in the district combine to
raise the price OF coal so that the operators
might make good profit and the miners might
make big wages. Mr.. Mooney said
"The operators have an organization, and so
have we. Why not 60 step further and or
game so that we can keep the public wanting
coal? Let us combine upon hat point, and
that will protect the operators and enable them
to pay the miners for brushing
Judge Tarsney, who represented the operat-
ors, interrupted Mooney at this point, and said
"Unfortunately for the carrying out of that
scheme, we have penitentary in this state,
Mr.. Mooney"
"Well," replied Mr.. Mooney, 1--WE don't see
any operators in the pen for raising the price
of COAL"
John Mitchell was present, and he became
very indignant at MONEYS proposition. In
fact, Mooney wasn't in earnest--his suggestion
was simply bit of irony.
Independent of the coal miners organization,
the operators organization can combine, and
do put up the price of coal to the common peo-
pie, which they call the commercial trade. The
latter could get but very little coal during the
month of August. And for all of this, as
James Mooney says, we fail TO hear of any of
the operators in the penitentiary--a place the
state has built for such combines.
But, these troubles will still continue, and
the operators will keep on bleeding the public
until the people own and operate the coal mines
and the railroads.
