THE EDUCAi^ON ACT. AIR LLOYD GEORGE AND THE GOV- ERNMENT. A FIGHTING SPEECH. On Sunday, at the afternoon meeting in Whitefipl.rB Tabernacle, Mr Lloyd George. M.P., im'e a speech on the crisis which has arisen n Walee through an attempt to enforce the Defaulting Authorities Act. j Taking up it the outaet a remark made by the chairman, the Rev Sylvester Horne, that this was an Act forced by "the Saxon" on -.he Welsh people. Mr Lloyd George said that •he Saxon had nothing to do with it; the Saxon was never consulted about it; on the contrary, he was told that i-,c)thi-ig of the kind would eve;- be dene. The only differ- ence in this cas^ between the Saxon 1.nd A the Welshman wo6 that the Welshman had not trusted the Government and the Saxoa had. "This," he remarked with a smile, Is not a difference of attitude but a difference in intelligence" (k.nghter). He was an- nounced, costumed Mr Lloyd George, to speak on thf WeFh Education Act. It W18 a misnomer yet not a mienomer so to describe the Defaulting Authorities Act. Technically it was an Act parsed for the whole country. Its real object, howevea, was to repress the zeal of Walos for educ-i- tional liberty, and the fight wae going to be very largely a Welsh fight. "And this is not the fio^t time in the his- tory of the world," he went on, "ihat great issues have been raised by small countries. In fact. the greatest issues that have ever been settled in the world have been issues raised in small countries. There will pro- bably be a great conflict precipitated upon "e in the course of the next fortnight. It will probably start in tha small county of Merioneth. It is one of the two smallest counties in Wales, with a population about equal to that of the Orange Free Suite, and ihat is exactly the sort of country this Gov- ernment likes to attack—(laughter)—some- thing really small and apparently power- less." Well, they have hid one lesson in attacking small countries, and, unless I am much mistaken, they are going to have mother (cheers). It is going to hare this effect, at any rate. It is going to bring the education question once more to the front n politics (hear, hear). STUPIDITY OF THE FORCES OF EVIL. Nothing surprises me nore about this Government, continued Mr Lloyd George, than its stupidity. I think we are in the aabit of giving the fore's of evil in this Norld too great credit for intelligence. Tlaa devil, I believe, is a very ckver fellow, but ( am perfectly certain hif, has thousands of fools in his civil servke (laughter n«d -heers). He did not wish a better illustra- tion of that than the Defaulting Authorities \ct. and the attempt by the Government at the present moment to put it into operation. ilt was difficult to concentrate the attoatioa )f forty millions of people upon any one subject, however important, akd although he people had not forgotten the Education let-the rate collector would not let them —laughter)— the agitation against it could ilot be kept up for years at the same pitoa )f fervour and enthusiasm, But the Gov- ernment had come to tlie rescue by forcing the Education Act to become once more a ■j;reat and urgent issue. What was it that i ilpy were complaining of? Their com- plaint was that the Government had asso- ciated religion in the education of the voting with injustice. In 14,000 schools .naintained out of public fundr, Nonconfor- mity was a. disqualification for teaching. "There is no other part of the Emp re to vhich that applies," he remarked. Noieoa- formity is as much & disqualification for "caching the young in two-thirds of the schools of thiii country as if it were a crime, ;6 if it were a leprosy" •{cries of "Shame"). As typical of the state of things in Wales, tIe took the school in the village in which he was himself brought up. It was the onty school in the parish, and everybody in the parish contributed to the building of it, but rhe land was given by a Church squire, who therefore dictated the trust, and eeenred hat the managers and teachers should be members of the Church of England, a id :his in spite of the fact that four-fifths of he children in the school were Nouco:jfor- jusls and four-fifths of the inhabitants of ) he parish. When a teacher was wanted the managers used to pick out a brght lad, tnd tell his parents that they would take him if he would give up hie chapel. It was u great temptation to poor parents, and led, he said, to many remarkable conver- sions. MERlONETlrS ZEAL FOR EDUCATION. Coming back to Merionethshire, Mr Lloyd George said that it was a great Puritan county, a county where the judges got a holiday when they went on assize. "What is its educational record?" he continued. • Merionethshire spends more upon secondary education out of public funds, twenty times more indeed, than England does. I am quoting from the Government Blue-book, and you may depend upon it tnat if there are errors there they are not on the side of Non- conformity. Prussia has about the best secondary system in Europe, asd in Prussia there is accommodation for training about seven per thousand of the population in the secondary schools. Merionethshire only started its secondary schools about, ten or I fifteen years ago, and already it has accom- modation for ten per thousand (cheers). A poor county, yet there they build magnificent tustitutions for the training of their bright intelligent lads. It is studded with chapels, but it is also studded with schools. There is no county in Great Britain that has made iich great sacrifices for educatiou during the past twenty years, and that is the county rhat is going to be coerced to provide educa- tion for its children" (cheers). ON A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS. It was claimed that they must provide schools for the training of the Anglican children, but the Anglican children wera offered the Fame facilities as the Noncon- formist children. And there was this differ- once between the standard of fairness in Merionethshire and the standard ol fairness in Whitehall—in the appointment of teach- ers, in the management of schools, and the Savours conferred upon children there was no distinction between Church and Nonoon-

SEAWEED AS A FOOD AND A MEDICINE.
SEAWEED AS A FOOD AND A MEDICINE. REMARKABLE MEDICAL REPORT. Dr KIRILLOFF in a paper communicated to the Eastern Siberian Medical Associa- tion dealt with the virtues of Seaweed in blood diseases. Ho said:—Seaweed is widely used as a, food in Japan, and as it contains combined Iodine, blood diseases which assume such alarming characteristics in other countries run a comparatively mild oourse in Japan Edible Seaweed is used a« an article of diet in Cornwall and certain parts of Ireland. Strengthening jellies for invalids are made from it, and it is a very noticeable feature that those who use it possess remarkably pure blood, and are almost free from stomach, liver, and kidnev troubles. VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC is the only Medicinal preparation of Seaweed on the market. It contains a deep-water species obtained in the Pacific Ocean which pos- sesses a wonderful strengthening, healing, and purifying power. Veno's Seaweed Tonic is prescribed by doctors and is used in many hospitals because of its remarkable curative properties. Its most brilliant effect is produced in diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and blood. The extra- ordinary cures it accomplishes even in the worst cases is undeniable proof of its superior value as a general strengthen- ing and curative medicine. It is in- valuable in the spring and autumn it puri- fies the blood, cures indigestion, wind on the stomach, liver complaints, and kidney troubles, female weakness, weak and pain- ful back, and is very effective in "HABIT- UAL CONSTIPATION." The proprietors knowing the*'1 great value of this medicine arc prepared to guarantee a cure or refund the money. This is a very strong stand to take, but it is justified bv the great success of the remedy. Ask for Veno's Seaweed Tonic. Price Is Ud and 2s 9d per LcAiln ai and drug stores,

FREE CHURCH OF TIJE WELSH. EXCLUDED FROM THE FREE CHURCH FEDERATION. Mr W. A. Lewis, secretary of the Frc*3 Church of the Welsh, a new organisation founded a few years ago. sends to the press some correspondence in "eference to its pro- posed inclusion in the Free Church Federa- tion movement. Writing to the secretary of the Welsh Free Church Council for Liverpool and the district, Mr Lewis said :— "At a meeting of the Central Committee of the Free Church of the Welsh (Eglwys Rydd y Cymry), held on Tuesday evening, the 7th inst.. I was instructed to forward you the following resolution, which was passed unanimously by the committee:—' That we, on behalf of our churches, apply to the Webh Free Church Council, Liverpool and District, to be. recognised as branches of the Union, and represented on its Council, on the same basis as other Nonconformist churches of the district, that we are anxious to co-operate in erery part of the Council's work, and to equally enjoy its privileges and now, espe- cially in the midst of the religious awakening, and expecting great things through the ap- proaching visit of the evangelist, Mr Evan Roberts, we desire to do everything that lies in our power towards securing peace and hearty co-operation amongst all the Welsh Nonconformists of the city and neighbour- hood.' The resolution explains itself, and I R'ik you as secretary of the Council to kindly bring our application before the next meeting of it* representatives. I am sending a copy of the resolution to each church, in order that the representatives may have time to con- sider same beforehand." The following was Sir Henry Jones's reply :— I According to the request of the Com- mittee of the Free Church of the Welsh I read) our letter, dated the 10th inst., at a meeting of the Welsh Frco Church Council, I Liverpool and District, held on Friday after- noon the 17th inst., at the Common Hall.

CHARITY ORGANISATION IN IBANGOR.
CHARITY ORGANISATION IN I BANGOR. A movement hf.s been set on foot to estab- lish a branch of the Charity Organisation Society in the city of Bangor. This society endeavours to combine the impulse and freedom of private charity with consistent principle, orderliness, and method. It -time at promoting a division of labour between the poor law and charity, and at furnishing a mer.ns of co-operation between the various charitable agencies as well as private donors. It helps also to suppress mendicity and imposture; and it endeavours to nid in all those other ways which, directly or in- directly. make for the improvement of tl e j Z, condition of the poor, e.g., in establishing collecting savings basks, in the inducing of wage-earners to join friendly and VM- peiance societies, and in the inculcation of elementary hygienic principles, &e. To ensure any measure of success, it is essential that there should be free co-opera- tion between all charitable agencies and rri- ¡ vate people without regard to class dis- tinction:- or different attitudes- of religious thought. It has been arranged to hold a public- meeting to discus- the possibility of forming j' such society in Bangor. His Worship the Mayor has kindly consented to take the chair, and Mr Wakefield, of London, will II address the meeting.

"CLIO" TRAINING SHIP.
"CLIO" TRAINING SHIP. The annual meeting of thlf: supporters of the "Clio" training ship, which is stationed in the Meaai Straits, was held at Chester on Thursday. The General Committee re- | ported that, the number of boys on board wtiii 237. So fewer than 2018 boys had re- ceived training on the "Clio" during the existence of the institution, the greater num- ber of whom had passed into the Royal navy and mercantile marine, and some into the army. While the Committee regretted that there was I::tn adverse balance cn the a-c- counts for the v £ <ir they reported that pro- bably the ship was never more efficient than she was to-dav. Certainly there was not a healthier, cleaner, better manneri-u lot of hoys seen in anv i/idustrial school.

ITHE "GHOST" AT PORTMADOC.…
THE "GHOST" AT PORTMADOC. A SERVANT GIRL'S STRANGE CONDUCT. At the Portaladoe Police Court on Friday, before Messrs Jonathan Davie sand R. O. Williams, Mary Hughes, 18 years of age. was charged with causing malicious damage to the property of her master, Mr David Thomas, butcher, High street, Portinadoe. The inhabitants of Portmadoc had for many weeks been thrown into a state of consider- able excitement by "ghostly" appearances on Mr David Thomas's premise-s. The "ghost" turned out to be the defendant, Marv Hughes. Mr W. George (Messrs Lloyd George and George) appeared for the prosecution. Mr George said the ghostly antics went on from January ;2ad to February 7th One night bacon would be removed from pickle and thrown into the garden, the next night bacon and salt meat would suffer the same fate, and then afterwards meal and corn would be thrown about. On other nights crockery was damaged. I& all damage to f crockery was damaged. I& all damage to the amount of £ 8 was done, and the occu- pants became very frightened. Mr Thomas secured the assistance of neighbours and the police to try to solve the mystery, but in vain, although the police were in the home on ten nights. On February 2nd a tin can disappeared, and about eight o'clock on the night of February 7th this can fell into the backyard. Mr Thomas, picking up the can, found on it words to the effect that th" ghostly acts would finish that night, and that they were-all due to the black devil of a servant from Nantmor. Mr George said the ghost" evidently desired to cast the blame on the little servant girl. Police-Sergeant Jones went, to the house and requested each occupant to write in a book. Being suspicious of ihe defendant, who was the senior servant, he told her that I he intended sending th3 writing to an expert to compare with the writing on the can. She then broke down and confessed that sh,, was the "ghost." She threw the can through the skylight, after writing on it by means of a hairpin. She could not say why she had played such tricks. The Bench imposed fines and costs amounting to £ 3 fl, 6d. and complimented Sergeant. Jones on his clever detection of the offender.
THE CEMLYN BAY FORESHORE.
THE CEMLYN BAY FORESHORE. PROBABLE SETTLEMENT OF A LONG STANDING DISPUTE. From time immemorial farmers and resi- dents in the district of Cemlyn Bay, a pretty little spot on the northern shores of Anglesey, have been in the habit of taking sand and gravel from the foreshore for the pnrpose ot paving their stables, yffrds, and farm approaches. Vessels have also come to the spot. and taken away the shingle in such Large quantities that the adjoining landowners have become alarmed at the prospect of damage to their property owing to the reduction in the mass of the pro- tecting shingle, &c.. which, they believed, was bound to result from the constant drain on the accumulation. As far back as 1893 the Board of Trade instituted an action against a resident ask- ing for an injunction to prevent the carry- ing away of shingle from the shore. Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd refused the injunction, and gave judgment fcr the defendant, his Honour expressing the opinion that the operations of the local residents would not injuriously affect the aggregation of shingle there. The matter rested there till recent- ly. when Lady Neave and Sir George Mey- rick, the two landlords immediately con- cerned, made an application to the Board of Trade for an order under section 14 of the Harbours Act, 1814, to prohibit tne taking away-of shingLe or ballast from the shores of the baliks. of the sea between the eastern and western boundaries of the parish of Llanrhwydrus, and Commander G. C. Frederick, R.N., an Inspector of the Board, on Tuesday held an inquiry into the matter in the Lifeboat House at Cemlyn Bay. Mr T. Pritchard, Llwydiarth Esgob, appeared on behalf of Sir George Meyrick, Captain Preston for Lady Neave, and Mr David Owen, solicitor, Bangor, for a num- ber of district councils concerned. Mr Rice Roberts, Clerk to the Council, was also present on behalf of the Anglesey County Council, and Mr Priestley, Hirdre- faig. appeared on behalf of the parish meet- ing. Mr David Owen had fifteen witnesses in "e attendance, and the other side probably an equal number, and it looked likely to be a very prolonged business. Commander Frederick, however, conducted the business in a practical manner. Instead of calling upon the representatives of the various parties concerned for their statements, and witnesses for and against, he made the sug- gestion that the trouble might very well be ended by granting the order asked for on condition that the established prescriptive rights of local levyem of shingle, sand, and gravel toll on the beach should not be inter- fered with. but that as against outside ship- pers, &c., a section of the coast which he quoted should be closed. It took Com- mander Frederick a. little under an hour to elucidate his proposition and to reply to questions put to him by the different repre- sentatives but in the end they all cordially agreed to his suggestion, and thus the ex- tension of the inquiry over certainly six, and possibly eight or ten, hours was obviated and all parties thoroughly satis- fied. ° It transpired that the Board of Trade bad refused many applications made for permis- sion to ship large quantities of shingle from the beach at Cemlyn Bay, one of these ap- plicatiens being for permission to take away 200,000 tons. Another application had been made for the removal of 2000 tons per week. Mr Pritchard said that 2700 tons had been taken away by ships during the last two \ears. It, vvas this the landowners were really fighting against—they did not object to the local users. The Inspector said he would report to the Board of Trade as follows: — That the order shall be sanctioned as asked for, with this exception, that the shores of Cemlyn Bay between Glanymor and the fence between Caepenyresgar and the field ad- joining (numbered 7 and 8 on the Ordnance be excluded from the order: and that ships be excluded by the Board of 1 ra-de refusing to allow them to take shingle away from any part of the area covered by the order.

. WELSH AMATEUR CUP.
WELSH AMATEUR CUP. 4th ROUND (RE-PLAYED). »BANG<>R RESERVE v. PORTMADOC. Played at Bangor on Saturday. The teams originally met at Portmadoc. when a tight game ended in a draw of & goal each. The tie vvas. therefore re-played at Bangor on Saturday. The teams were—Bajgor Re serve W. Jones, goal; W. Evans and R. Ellis, full backs; W. Jones, Hwfa Williams (captain), and D. A. Jones, half-back; Davies, Burns, R. T. Evans, Davies, and Joe Williams, forwards. Portmadoc: W. Pike, goal; Evan Jones and W. Evans, full backs; Griff. Davies (capiain), Rowland Jones, and Bob Jones, half-backs; Owen J once, McseLry Jor.es, Roberts. T. J ones, and W. Vaaghan, forward,. Referee. Mr Beech, Rhyl, and linesmen. Mr Harry Davies (&111g.;r\. and Mr Griff. Roberts (Portmadoc). Much to the annoyance of the spectators the visitors arrived thirty minutes late and minus Moseley Jones, and even then they seemed in no great hurry to start. The opening movements consisted of an attack on the Portmadoc goal. the home forwards immediately infusing considerable energy into their play. After a corner kick had been safely negotiated by the visiting full backs, Burns presented R. T. Evans with a fine opening, but he failed to avail him- self of it. Still he made amends for the mistake, a few minutes later and nearly scored. Now the visitors btirst away, and obviously fighting shy of coming into con- tact with the home full backs, sent long weak shois from nearly half ground. The Bangor goalkeeper had not the slightest di- fficulty in dealing with theise weaklings. The missing Portmadoc player now arrived, and his -appearance altered the complexion of the game, Tom Jones nearly opening the 6core for the visitors. The Portmadoc left wing again threatened danger, but W. Evans proved too great all obstacle, and the spectators next saw the Bangor halves fairly bombarding the Port goal, W. Jones sending in with lightning-like rapidity two shots which nearly found a billet i i the net. After the cheers of the spectators had subsided, the Portmadoc forwards were seen advancing in a body, and Moeeley Jones threaded hie way between the Bangor full backs, and arriving within a few yards of the goal, sent in a grounder. Just as the ball was entering W. Jones pounced upon it and cleared. B\ thc&e standing behind the goal it was generally conceded that the ball entered sufficiently to register a point, but singularly enough no claim for a goal was made by any of the Portmadoc players, fnd probably the referee was deceived by the fact that the goalkeeper was lying on the ball. The home players now showed im- proved form, and should have registered at least two goals. They were awarded e peualty which was entrusted to R. T. Evans, The Portmadoc goalkeeper indulged in an Indian dance with such success that Evans ¡;,ant the ball belTTid. Success came at last. Joe Williams, from long range, dropped the ball into the goalkeeper's hands, and he let it slip into the net. Roberts, the visiting outside right looked like equalising, but he wailed too long before parting with the bail. Half time: Bangor, 1; Portmadoc. 0. ihe Reserves, on resuming, quickly demon- strated their intention of winning by a no iiisigiiifk-aiit margin and after compelling I the Portmadcc goalkeeper to throw behind, Hwfa, Williams headed the ball into the net from the resultant corner kick. For the third goal, although scored by R. T. Evans. Joe Williams deserves all th*- credit, for he worked a fins opening. Fina] result: B:, gor Preserve, 4; Portmadoc, nil.

SHOTS. After seeing the Reserves playing against Portmadoc on Saturday, the Bangor specta- tors are more disgusted than ever with the performances of the senior team, who, the posters tell us, are fighting for "The Com- bination Championship" (sic). < < < Though Portmadoc played an excellent and earnest game, they lacked th p finish of their conquerors. < < -In the first, half the Port men. who brought down a large contingent of supporters, were 11 frequently dangerous, the left wing being very aggressive, and they undoubtedly scored a goal, although nobody c!aimed it. In the second half the home team fairlv v. alt zed round them, and the tactics of the outside men completely nonplussed the Port- madoc defenders, who were frequently "drawn." ♦ • • • When Portmadoc next play a cup-tie. thev would be well advised to spread their forces more evenly over the field, and also not to hang on the ball so long. < Also they must recollect that when a match is advertised to start at 3 p.m.. it does not reflect to their credit to stroll in most complacently at 3.30 p.m. < The winners made an excellent show, and if there was a line better than another it was constituted by W. Evans and Ellis, the former being in capita), form. < The custodian continues to keep goal with considerable ability, and with the half-back line no fault can be found, the captain, Hwfa Will iams, working as per usual, most un- 1 tiringly. • • • Joe Williams. R. T. Evans, and Burns were the outstanding players in the attacking divi- sion, the first-named whipping across several accurate centres. • » • • The other two forwards, both of whom are "freshers," will probably improve as the season advances. < In the Portmadoc tenm, the custodian stood out in bold relief as the most conspicu- ous plaver, albeit he was beaten four times. < < Evan Jones, the right full, did exceedingly cl well, his kicking being clean and decisive. < Moseley Jones and his colleagues were mostly "off." but the halves played a hard game. At Nant-wich, Bangor Combination team showed consistent form, being beaten by four '1 gca's to nil.

AN ECCENTRIC PASSENGER. SMART FINE FOR STOPPING A XORTH WALES EXPRESS. A CMC of remarkable character was heard at the Holywell Police Court on Friday, when William Morris, a e-ailor, residing at Bryn-siencyn, Anglesey, was tummoned by the London and ^orth Western Railway Company for having made use of the com- munication between passengers and we Company's servants, while travelling on the Chester and Holyhead line, without reason- flble end sufficient cavuse. Mr Fetfea pro- secuted. | From tho evidence it appeared that on the night of November 9th, as the 8.40 p.m. train from Chester to Rhyl was nearing Holywell station it was brought to a stand- still. The guard and the driver got down to find out the reason of the stoppage, and for this purpose lookedt-o &ee if any one of the discs showing the carriage in which the communication-cord had been pulled was turned. No di6c being turned, they walked to the rear of the train and saw the defend- ant getting out of the rear van, which w-as behind the guard's working van. The de- fendant had been riding in the van, and the guard found that the brake valve, which in- dicates the pressure when the lever is ap- plied had had a pocket-book thrust under it. which held it half way up. It was explained that- unless the lever was applied carefully the train might be broken in two and all the passengers unseated. The defendant admitted he had stopped the t.rain, and remarked, "It was time to stop you, seeing the rate you were trave!- ling at. and the pressure you were carrying." The defendant made a statement to the effect that he had been drinking heavilv. Ho put, the pocket-book under the brake, "see- ing the parcels travelling round him on the. floor." On a second summons the defendant was charged with hRving travedled from Chester to Prestatyn without a tickct. On the nrt-t charge the Bench fined the defendant £2 and costs, and for travelling without a ticket he was fined 5s and cost*.

[ AN ECCENTRIC OCTOGENARIAN'S I BURIAL. I I In the person of Mr David Evans, of A' fair, Ruabon, an interesting old We;sh worthy has iust been laid to rest. A native 1 of Bontnewydd, near Carnarvon, and by I vocation a tailor, he removed to the vicinity of Llangollen when a young man, alld married a lacly from the village of Garth, where he resided for over half a century. Rtlahves say he was extremely eccntric in his. habits, and after the death of his wife eighteen months ago he lived the retired liSe of a hermit, in his mountain habitation rot Garth overlooking the Vale of Liangoljeri. Recently he went to reside with one of b s sons at Mile-end. Acrefair, where he fcitS 0 just, died, and to this son he left considerable property, including nine desirable dwelling- houses in the distric t, and whiehj by Ms fru- gality, he managed to acquire practically through dini of hard work. Although bis wife, "ho had predeceased him, was laid to rest at Garth, he has expressed abhorrenco and rooted objection to friends to be tuned at that village and said he preferred to be interred in his native county at Llanbeblig. He desired to be buried dressed in his "Sun- day best, and many other quaint bequest* of his were faithfully carried out by his rela- tives. He was accordingly laid out dressed in his Sunday wearing apparel, with linen collar :<nd i-oinpletely attired. In this manner be WH" enc oscd in his coxfin and conveyed by J railway to Ruabon and Chester, and th< to Llanbeblig. On his head was his old-ilxae sealskin cap, to which he was much attached.

formist (hear, hear). Why should there be separate schools for the trm'ning or different- sects* It was said that the provided schools were Nonconformist schools. As a matter of fact, the majority of teach era in the pro- vided schools in England and Wales were communicants of the Church of England, so the Church had this advantage that there were 12,000 schools in which it had a mono- poly of the teachers and 7000 or 8000 in which it could enter into competition with Nonconformity. "I know Merionethshire very well," Mr Lloyd George went on. "It is a land of rocks, and pretty hard rocks (laughter). They have been blasting them at Fesiiniog for a hundred years, and made havdlv any 'm- pres,ion. This Government is going to last for two years, they ?ay, but it will take longer than that to pulverise the rocks of Merionethshire (cheers). These men arc making a great stand for a great principle, the principle of freedom of conscience in the schools, and when the conflict comes they will need your assistance" (cheers). Concluding his speech, he said that t-hougn one sometimes doubted it the Government must come to an fnd, a Government which had done more harm than any Government within our recollection. "The hour of reckoning is at hand. When the Govern- ment falls I am certain that the people of Merionethshire will be very pleased to give a slab of their blue granite and to inscribe upon it, 'Hero lyeth—(laughter)—yes, they will still be lying—the mortal remains of the most contemptible Government, that ever governed a nation against its will'" (laughter and cheers).
