Mr.. McGuhe's Leciure.-On Tues
day evening Thomas b. McGuire, of
New York, grand lecturer of the order
OF knights of Labor, addressed meet
ing OF the Knights at Meats Opera
house, this town. The meeting was by
no means large one, though adver-
| fused by posters several days ahead.
A number of ladies were present who,
as well as the male portion of the audi-
ence, listened to the speaker with
marked attention. Mr.. Mcclure com
menced his address by saying that he
was not here for the purpose of assail-
ing or finding fault with capitalists or
employers of labor. for whatever griev-
ances laborers had to complain of were
| clearly chargeable to their own acts.
He said that he could see nothing in
this section to complain of that work
men were peculiarly blessed and happy.
and that he was not here to urge or
ganization and would not do so were it
not for the fact that operators, manu-
facturers and CORPORATIONS all over the
country were in state of thorough
organization, hence the necessity of
| mi th., Dc
men for the advancement and protec-
ton of their own interests. He said the
| object of the Knights of Labor was not
to encourage and foster strikes, but to
| discourage and avoid them as far as
possible. The object of the organiza-
tion was to promote the moral. mental
and social as we'll as financial cond-
ton of its members and prepare them
for higher and nobler citizenship. Be.
fore closing his address the speaker
| delivered what the temperance people
would have regarded as an able appeal
IN behalf of the temperance cause.
| He urged the working classes to shun
the bar-rooms and drinking saloons.
which he declared were the curse of
the nation. He urged them to educate
and train their children, instil in their
minds lessons of industry, morality
and virtue, that they may become pre-
pared for useful and honorable men
and women of the future Mr.. McGuirc,
| though comparatively Il young man, is

ence in II cheerful mood by relating
amusing anecdotes.
