Pay Them.

Oar Democratic Legislators appear to be
q we'll meaning set of men and men OF
nerve too. They are in no hurry to pass
the Appropriation bill, and probably will
not do it at ell. The Republican majority
of the Senate ia determined to hold on to
the infamous "Ratrrning Board" provision
of our election law as q trick to control the
elections in spite of the vote. That i'd to
say, the people may vote as they please,
but the Returning Board will return whom
it p!eases as elected in other words, the
people vote, but the Board elects.
Of course the decent element of any com
munity would protest against q thing 30
utterly unjust and nefarious, 80 totally sub
versive of the recognized principles of
government prevailing among them. If
our people are ever to attain to the boon
of self government, they must coerce the
surrender of this mighty engine of fraud by
which that government is rendered impos-
sible. Under no circumstances can their
representatives yield such point. 1t
would be an abandonment of all the good
to be reaped from the Wheeler conpro-
mlS6J OF ali Tue glorious ToSuAIS WHICH, "oAo
virtually achieved by the heroism of the
l4Sh of September.
The control of the House of Representa-
tives gives the people of the State one
vantage ground from which they can war
effectually on their aggressors and plunde-
rers. There can be no Appropriation bill
passed without the vote Of the House. With
out that bill the enemy will be materially
crippled. Oats!de robberies, through assess
ments and tax collections will still go on,
but the avenue into the State treasury will
be closed.
An abandonment of this point by our
Representatives would be an act of i'm
becility or treachery. 1t would be an I'M
pardonable weakness that ought properly
to remit to the shades of public distrust
every man who should prove recreant under
the test. We hardly think that any Demo
crat or Conservative of the House will be
found to vote the usual appropriations for a
government SO utterly faithless to the
people as that which insists on the
monstrous fraud of Returning Board.
But must these gentlemen make martyrs
of themselves Individually Macy of them
are poor men. They have an absolute

need of the money coming to them as pay
and mileage in connection with their ser
vices in the Legislature. The support OF
their wives and children depends on it. They
are only representative men, having no
more personal interest in the great hight
against usurpation than have their con-
stituents.
Rhey ought to be paid,
A committee of wealthy citizens or q
com binatiou of the banks and other
moneyed institutions ought to buy their
warrants at par, and wait for another
Legislature to have them cashed. Very
probably a called session would soon solve
the financial problem aud the Returning
Board at the the same time.

The Dominican Convent, Dryades street.

Owing to circumstances entirely beyond
their control, the Sisters of st. Dominic have,
during the past five years, become involved in
very serious financial difficulties. Through the
kindness of few of the friends of the Con-
vent, they have 80 far been enabled to weather
the storms that essailed them, but they are now
compelled to appeal to the public for assist
ance. We understand that the Superioress or
one of the Sisters accompanied by lady
friend, will shortly call on the people for
donations.
The following note from the Very Rev. Ad-
minstrator of the Archdiocese shows that the
Sisters are not only authorised to make the
appeal, but that they have the sympathy of
His Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, in their
difficulties:
Knowing the embarrassment of the Domini-
can Mans of this city, the Most Rev. Arch bishop,
before his departure for Europe, authorized
them to make an appeal for assistance to the
charitable people of the city. We strongly
recommend them to the charity of all to whom
they may apply, aad wish them SUCCESS in their
undertaking,

Free Lecture at St. Johns This Evening.

At 1880 o'clock this Sunday evening, the
distinguished Missionary, Rev. I. NJ. ODon-
oghue, C.M., will lecture in the Church OF st.
John the Baptist, Dryades street, Rev. L. y
Kenny, pastor. His subject, " The Real
Presence" is one of the grandest ever proposed
to the consideration of man, one that being 80
sadly misunderstood by the majority Of our
separated brethren, should be so thoroughly
understood by every Catholic that, if called on
to explain the teachings of the Church in
reference to it, he might be able to give the
explanatio without moments hesitation.
OF the Rev. Lecturer we need say little. The
thousands who crowded to hear him at St.
Johns aud st. Stephens Churches have spread
abroad the fame of his powers as an orator, the
fetal reform of many and the increased piety
and devotion of all, attest tina clearness of his
instructions and the earnestness of his exhorta-
tions.
The lecture will be given under the auspices
of the parochial Total Abstinence Society, and,
though no charge will be made for admission, a
collection will be taken up for the benefit of
the poor of the parish. All may he assured
that the fund thus raised will be given only to
the deserving poor, as the rule of the Society
of st. Vincent de Paul, through whose agency
it will be distributed, prescribes domiciliary
visits and strict inquiry into the condition and
habits of applicants before aims are given
| them.

door SO as not to be disturbed, putting the key
he was ready to go out, and supposed that some
student had maliciously Imprisoned him. He
waited while, and then kicked, pounded, and
nobody heard him. After four hours he was
released by the jsnitor and the Era says ::
" When the Professor sat down to his news

key to that closet, he Immediately went into

Editor Morning Star

Editor Morning Star:
The Catholics of /" the interior" feel very
rmuch disposed to quarrel with your Mobile
correspondent, "Adieu," 10 whose letter of the
31st nit. we were promised visit from our
good Bishop, spiced with taste of Father
Ryan's lectures"
Now, we most earnestly desire to both see
and hear our Right Rev. Bishop, who has not
visited our part of the State for some years.
Reading this letter, and supposng, of course,
that "Adieu" knew " whereof he was speak
ing" We were in high anticipation of the
pleasure of seeing his Lordship, and had made
extensive preparations for the expected visit
when we found the information all mistake.
We beg that in the future "Adieu" will in
form himself more accurately and not again
cause so serious disappointment to the poor
people of CENTRAL ALABAMA.
(Our correspondent, who is always we'll in
formed, no doubt correctly stated the proposed
programme of the Bishop which, probably from
causes that could not have been foreseen,
must have been changed after "Aden's" letter
had been mailed to us.-ED. STAR)
