 This gem of Grecian culture, with it's emerald surroundings, is a lovely pie ture of combined natural beauty and classic art and must go. For the atro- cious crime of ages there is no palliation "a thrice crime; first in being aged; second in its absolute incorrigibleness, third neither useful or ornamental. "Old age lose one of the precious rights of man, that of being judged by his Peers"
 What the Pantheon is to Rome, the Madeleine to Paris, the Parthenon to Athens, our relic of storied Greece "nur- tured in her glories time' was to New Haven. Because honorable age had placed few wrinkles upon the brow of the state house. it was said Tt only looks well by moonlight" so dynamite it.
 It was the voice of some of the people. but the voice of some of the people is not the voice of God, yet it answered the purpose all the same.
 Because old age has left it's furrows upon the fair face of the moon, so "she only looks well by moonlight" but as her remaining beauty detracts from the good looks of her attending gloaming star. dynamite her of course What right has the man in the moon that should be respected, even if he does manage earth's matrimonial affairs?
 Ring out the old, ring in the new,D is the slogan of American civilization. "Oh! better then to die and give the grave it's kindred dust, than live to see times bitter change in those we love and rust.''
 Our friend. William E. Gladstone. (see his speeches at Edinburgh and Newcastle, in which he claimed 1t was fatal error to free the negro and taunt- ed the north with instability and cow- ardice) said Trafalgar square was the grandest place in all Europe.
 Did Trafalgar square ever have a first Monday in May Training day? Where I the Falstafflan hords, who with all the l imposing pornp and paraphernalia of grim -visaged war marched the street with perched upon their bayonets dry codhsh, pumpkins, melons and turnips l foraged from market stands on the line of march. who rushed every man an ao- I ratious, to do or die at the call of the great MMog F of Dragon, as he of the sonorous voice invited the entire hll- man family. without regard to former condition or color, if they couldn't roll up, fall up, creep up. tumble up, or if no other way to get up, to send their mouths up to his table and he, the big gest oyster butcher on earth, will stuff l their mouths (where nothing but what is of the most refined nature should be allowed to come or go) a fourpence sap pennies worth of his bile-in N. F. ultra E. P. ununi, general training hot oys ters,' guaranteeing them to stay put, and if they did not stay put to replace them on the next training day with a date. "Os-ters was Os-ters in them days" They had flavor and great coax ing qualities. Every mouthfll made room for another.
 Did Trafalgar square ever have llb- erty pole with a spread eagle? That emblem of cruelty, and grasp bird that robs when noe even hungry. See l it's robbery from the boss robber of earth, cruel old Spain, and who, if the world continues to make dump ground of this country, will have to spread it's l wings over the entire continent mak- l ing good the boasts of the old time Lone Star Texan, Gentlemen, I drink to the American eagle; the time will come when the bald-head eagle, perched upon the everlasting Rockies, will pick out the eyes of the northern bear, while it's tail scoops over the Antarctic regions and its wings flap in the waters that wash two femispheres. Did Trafalgar square ever fly free flag, free to bate cows or build bon fires on the green to work for or hire when or whom one pleased without asking permission of city or Union. Those were the days i when every man was free to own him. self all in a common brotherhood. Did Trafalgar square ever fire Fourth of July Hail Columbia liberty guns with Lote Bath, the bravest of the brave, sit ting astride and batting the cannons, to encourage them to speak louder, so our British cousins could hear them talk, and who. upon the Fourth of July would shin climb the liberty pole and reave the flag halyards through the block, then putting his blue "Robinson'' , cap on the truck, come down and chal- lenge any man, woman, boy or girl on the green to take it down. He was more fortunate than the boy who ran in front of the cannon (too previous) in order to secure the wadding, and met with the punishment that Jehovah me-

 Did Trafalgar square ever have a town meeting where every man with or without an idea was allowed to open
 his mouth and believe himself to his
 peers the bepeds from Poverty square, Sodom hill, Toddy alley, Peggy's elbow,
