Citizens Course was delivered by WENDELL PM
LIPS at Village Hall on Wednesday evening last

didn't hit, Phillips fashion, in the course of his
hour and three.quarter's talk, was, to use COM
nom phrase, hardly worth hitting. In the outset
he paid his respects to San Domingo. after the
most approved Sumner fashion; or perhaps it
would be quite as truthful to say that Sumner
treats it according to the Phillips fashion On
his return trip he visited the Ku-Klux (lonp ~

also be reversed. Finally he settled down upon
the three topics Of Labor, Temperance and Woman

did in the last Massachusetts, campaign, when
for Governor. The effort was mainly
TO bring out the dangers to our free institutions
from the combinations Of capital against labor,
and Of the liquor trade against temperance and
good morals. The awlessness and violence which
prevails in our great cities was most forcibly and
truly depicted-but the remedy was not made 80
clear. This state of things was declared 10 be
the necessary result Of universal suffrage with no
provision under our form Of government to control
the riotous mob and yet he advised US to extend
the suffrage to the other (not 5effe) half Of ma Il
kind for he distinctly ayowed that women were

doubtless adjourn to-day or tomorrow. Under
the manpulations of conference committees, aid

pleasant homes, all differences on the Ku-Klux

after few finishing touches both will unquos-
