THB pARIgH PRIstg AVN ITs CONDITION

The attention of offenders in esSe is
respectfully called to the recent report of
the grand jury 10 Judge Atocha. 1t is
stated that the accommodations for pris-
oners are very bad, the cells are damp,
the ventilation effective, the flooring and
stairs are rotten and the humane requi-
sites generally ae wanting. We have no
doubt of the entire correctn ess of the re-
port. 1t is bey0d all question faithful
picture of the nstit ution it purports to
describe. 1t vii be observed it is not at
all inviting as a place of abode. The
best thing candidates for this institution
can do, Therefore, under the circum-
stances is to baave themselves and keep
out of it. Itiiso far from being desir-
able loafng pace that the grand jury
question its beng even humane institu-
ton.
The Parish Jrison suffers, in common
with our oths public institutions, from
the hardness Q the times. 1t is no doubt
the duty of th City Council to keep it
in decent reFir, but we see that this
body is entibly helpless for want of
means. Tho administrators complain
that they cal not collect enough over
what is Tequied for trust funds to paw
their own salfies. They find there is a
class of peeps here to whom the taxes
are SO excessively burdensome that they
do not attefpt to pay them from one
years end toanother. Hundreds are in
arrears for en- and fifteen years, and
openly boastDf their success in evading
this disagreeble duty. The most singu-
lar part of tbs business is that the parties
thus favoredGre but little, if any, better
off than thir neighbors who do nav
which prove that it is due to sonnet thing
else beside Ugh taxes, which they never
pay, that Thy are always behind. Be
that as it ms, their refusal to pay their
dues OPERAS great hardship to the
thieves, buHlars, embezzlers, drunkards.
assaulters, Atterers, ETC., who crowd the
records orb Parish Prison. The pros
poets for pntinuing career Of crime
with the us al comforts are not cheering.
They ought to try honesty for change
until the ty finances are in a better
condition.

A OHoIOE OF EvILs,

The political history of our State for
several years past seems to point to the
conclusion that peace within its borders
can be obtained only on one Of two con-
ditions- either an abdication Of the Re-
publican majority to the rule of the armed
Democratic White League minority, or
the temporary establishment of military
regime under the auspices of the United
States government On no other eondi-
ton will those turbulent patriots sub
side iato law-abiding citizens. They
must either obtain entire control
Of every department of the State
government, Legislative, executive and
judicial, or they viii accept no share
in it whatever, and will do oil in
their power to obstruct lis operations.
Witness their recently defeated scheme.
