THE IRISH -VOLUNTEER.

Tuam Meeting THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY RECRUITS. A largely attended meeting was held in the Town Hall, Tuam, on Sunday week for vhe purpose of inaugurating a branch' of the Irish National" Volunteers, and speeches were delivered by Messrs G 1\i,{)o.JJs, B .A, solicitor ; B Cusack, Galway, and T Sloyan, Tuarn. On the preposition of Mr T M'Hugh, seconded' by _Vir W Sit0 ckwell , the chair was taken by Dr T B Costello, who" m opening the prcceedings, said they all knew the ob.ects of t-he meeting. Corps of the Volu~'beers were being fo-rmed thrcueho.ut Ireland, and some of the peopl.~ of Tuam thought . that they should fall ito, Line, A preliminary meeting W;lS held a few weeks ago and . a s:nl3.1l committee was appointed, who \vere anxious t-o, aid the movement, and a notice convening the public meeting was issued, They were there that day, not to discuss' the question of sro..r'..ing the Volunteer nuoverrsent, {illS that had 'already been considered, but they were g·aI.hexed that dav to see how far they could push on the movement applause). :I1n: '''m Langley, Secretary (pro tem) read the Iollowi ng lenter from Colonel Man.rice Moore, Moore Hall, Co Mayo, wih;;.oh 1s;tuted-"Every day I .spent in Ireland since the Volunteer movement '~1as .inaugurened, . showed mel Ihow popul.ar it was and what g-re.a.t things can be effected by it. It IS the first time the Irish people have had: an op· portunity to, 'Put themselves in a position to defend the soil of Ireland and the ,101bitS of the .people for more than 100 y.;ar.s; and it would be criminal if they neglected j,t. Every little town wil l seen have its company and every barc.ny its battalion, and every city its ~bri. gade, till the Irish National Volunteers wil.l f-orm an army to be reckoned with, But Let discipline and implicit obedience to superiors he enforced, or the army will be worse than useless. Let ~ve~yone he discreet, and glv,e no opportunrty for our objects to be mJsrep~e.s'e'l1(::ed. Heroic and high-flowing, lpr0<l111SeSand pledges are not necessary; we can lea.\,: these to others, but let us act quietly and steadfastly. The Volunteer movernent of 1778 embraced men 0'£ all. par· ties and' religions, and accomplished much foil' Ireland. We aI-50 hold out our hands ,~o ·,aI-!

that might come before the country in the present crisis, when the 'Home Rule BiH is before Parliament, and when they saw that certain gentlemen in the North are organised. There was a considerable following in the North, and they were organised to crush ·the aspirations of the Irish people (groans). Force would have to be 'met by force so that they could show that Irishmen were able ,to settle their differences between tll.e'm£!zlves, without asking the English army t-o settle them (applause}. There was also external danger whi soh necessitated an army of Irish National Volunteer's. They all knew that the .pchtical conditions on .the Continent of Europe were far from b-eing satisfactory. They all had observed with feverish anxiety the r-3.03 hE{t:\veen two great na-ti-o.n.s-· England and Germ:myin the building of war-ships. Proceeding, Mr Nicolls compared the present attitude of Gesmany to a huge boulder rolling down the mountain, and with Eng·' land as its block, .i its sweep forn atic nal supremacy. When that boulder did come, either one or the other of the two _co·untries should go under. They all knew that if England fell, Ireland would have to go down with it. If Ireland had an army of its own it could put up a fight, and' when England, which was only G miles from them, could not sue: ceed in conquering "them in seven hundred years, how could a nation one thousand miles away hope f01: success (applause). Mr Nicolls, having referred to the absolute necesscty for discipline and r-egnlar drilling in the Volunteers, went 0111 to say that in pcliticse they all knew that nothing was certain. The Liberal Government was p!,edged< to Home Rule for Ireland> and! were sincere ill. that pledge , but they did not knowbut that they l11right be turned out of office on a snap division or some other emergency. If the Liberals were turned .out of office, a Unicnrst govern-> ment would COO1:lJe into office, and what he would S3.y to cthem, and it was the opinion of every Nationalist;' is' that they should make the government of Ire-land 'by that party impossible. If the people were thoroughly organised, they could Sweep the Last Vestige of English Government Out of the Conntry. (Aipplause). Then they should: be pre. ,pared to do so' If by any chance the Home Rule Bill did' not become Jaw. How could Carson and Campbell when they came to be law . advisers of 0e Umiomist Government, Ip,rose.c.ute Irish Nationalists for what they had been doing and telline' the people of the North to do for theO past five years? I-n con. elusion Mr Nicolls pointed out uhat 111 the Vohm teer movement non.!' were wantiriz except those who were prepared to oar~y out the mstruciions, and observe the ddscipline o~ the orgarusa. tion'., They did not want any ,that mig±ut be -caught by the glamo.ur of a new movem.en,t, hut thore who. we<re p.re. pared to endure any hardships that mi,gh.t he o{)casio'ned in their oh5eHance of <the ipriIlJCip!es of t,he orgarusatio-n (ap. plause). Mr Cusack, Galway, D~lOt spoke, and, in. the course of a vigo,mu~ sp0ech, said it was hut a short tiine . si:n¤e ~.e· Vo,lunteer.s were inaugurated in Ath. enry. He (Mr Cusack) did not h:1Jppen to hel'0n.a' to C:onnacht, but should have heen very pleased ~o -be bwn west of the Shannon. Co-l1ll'acht, mo.re tban any other provi,c'e, had s,uff'ered ve.ry se. v,erely at the hauds of Engla.nd; notwiths~anding that, she was no~v §oing to be· the first to mganise and' .pr,evenot not. only Connaught but th,e ;rest of Ireln.na from· suff'erin.g in the future (applause). Every man, lIfr Cu~'ack proceeded, had a perfect right to, the use of arms to de. fend his home and country. That right had heen den.~ed· Iris·hmen for mn,ny years. Continuing, the speaker made a vi§oll'oUS appeal for the support 0'£ the obdecJtis o·f the meeting, and alluded to ,the historic associati-ons wi.th Iri.sh na. ti'onality in the past o,f ·.t~ Tuam peo!plc'. They, he said, 'St00d .;within the shn.dow of the greatest Irishman of the last cel1. tury;' John of T-uam (app!au·se), who ·tried to fight against the in.£lux of Ellglj.~h spirits. and ideias in.to this oountry, and tried to fight the English system of education, which had made the,m s~aves and ignorant. If they bad. ·UG.t that sys. tern of education in their country" there would be no need for organising the Volunteers, for th'ev would have been free' long ago (a,pplallse). Referring to the a.l1guments pu.t forward .against the Vo'lun,teer movement, Mil' Cl1s.aok said it was pointed out hat Irela)ld was to.o smaLl to establish an army for warfare, hut he emphasised the fae! that the

n.oerf~(iCb\3Jers):-I(,ept 250,OCP ~hoU<*l1d, Engllsh and Irish soldiers at hay. There were other easons why jhey should have all aJrmy of'Volunteers. A Home Rule Bill tor Ireland, almost completed, was expected to rpass in une. Bu t twice before the cup had' been dashed from the ;jps of Ireland, 'and it was quite possible that the cup might be dashed ag aiu , but if such happened, and if they were organised, they would 'take a better cup that even was that one (ap(pt.allSe)·,~ Thene' was !SltjU lan-cJ<thcl[':Jie2i·' son for the existence of the Irish National Volunteers, and that was the establishrnent of. an" Iris.h, Parliernent. They knew that in former days Sir Jonah P CIrring'ton , the member for Tuam in the old Irish Parliament, said "Ire· land lost her independence, because she nllowed her Volunteers to disband" (applause). That should not happen u nder the new order of things, whioh. they expected in. this country , they should not happen under bhe . new "order of things, which they expected in this country; they should have a trained body of men. If they hadl 100,000 trained men, it would be impossible for any Government to' take aw,ay Home Rule .from them (aplPlause). They were going to have Horne Rule, and they meant to hold it (applause). They. had been fighting English law and so-called EngJish justice. They .knew what they meant for Ireland-packed' juries, etc. H they got Home Rule, the laws would he made by their own people; they should be prepared to. obey them, and ·they could not do that withput discipline, and they could not get better discipline than in the Voluteer army (applause). Mr Cusaok ',also dwelt 0111the necessity of Volunteers from the social standpoint, and mid it was up to. the men of Tuam, as ·the second town in !the .county to. isu!P'po-rt irhe movement. which had, met with such unanimous support ill the other parts of Corinacht. Mr John Burke, T C, proposed a resolution that the meeting approve of the establishment of the National Volunteers in TU::Lm. . Mr T Sloyarr, in an eloquent address, seconded the resolutio, which was pa,s,sed u11oanU110.usly.. I hree . hundred and; fifty names ,,:,ere handed m at the close o.f. the meeting, and fhe first muster 9£ the company was fixed for Sunday, 1st Much, at Mr T S.loyan's yard, Bishop sltreet.,

General Princples

of Treatment.

_Th.e following are the genel'l11 principles of treatment: Lay pat;ent on his back; If there ils a wound, arzest bleeding; Send for med .cal aid, Undo any tight clothing round the neck or waist. Keep bytanders from CrQ'A'<I:ng round the patient, and allow him to, hnve plenty of Iresh air. . If the patient's face is pale, keep his head low; if his face. is flushed, raise the head slightly on. a folded coat or rug. Do not give stimulants, because there run.y be a ruptured blood-vessel; .and consequent haemorrhage inside, the skull, !IS i.n -aipoplexy and 'some cases of. concussion in which case, if ,brandy_,,)s given, the heart is stimulated to beat more strongly, and consequently more blood is poured into the injured vessel. In the case of epilepsy, keep the patient from injuring himself, . 'by restraining his limbs nrid place a @ag, such as a piece of -stick-' wrapped 'in a handkerchief, 'between the teeth in order to prevent him from -b'fng 'his tongue. ,1)n ~ the 'Case of (sunst.rokle, carry the patient into the shade, douche the head and back of th.e neck with cold water.. Do not give, s\imulaDt~. In oases of apoplexy or C9nCLl.ssi-on, ap· ply cold wllter to the hea:d and hot· water to (he feet. • In the caSe ·of a dru;nken fit, lay the patient on h:s side, not on his back, slig4tly raise the head! and remove any tiO[M ,clothing.
