STYLE AT THE PRISON
How a Marysville Lawyer Shocked the
Penitentiary People.

How Marysville Lawyer Shocked the
Penitentiary People.
The Folsom Telegraph tells the following
at the expense of weIl-known lawyer Of
Marysville:
On Sunday last prominent lawyer oil
Marysville, accompanied by Sheriff Saul
of the same county, was over at the prison
on business. After their arrival some one
informed Deputy Warden Robinson that
the lawyer was a leading society swell in
Marysville, and, when not eiecsioneering, q
great stickIer for polite ceremony. The
Deputy Warden can sling as much style as
the best of them, and accordingly deter.
mined to entertain the wild and woody
Marysville lawyer in the most approved
manner. Accordingly, he ordered a fine
dinner prepared and invited the Yubaite
thereto.
Everything passed off pleasantly and the
dinner was highly enjoyed. All being over
2 hpger.bowl and water, with a piece OF
lime, was brought in for the participants
of the meal. The lawyers eyes Frightened
as he saw this, and as soon as the bowl and
its accomplishments were placed before
him he picked up the lime aud squeezed it
into the finger bowl, drinking the contents
thereof down with the remark that lemon
ade was fine thing to top off dinner
with. Robinson, of course, did not put
his bowl TO lis proper use, out of consider
alton OF the feelings of his guest.

so-CALLED ATHLETIC CLUBS.

At this writing the test case as to what
is prize fighting and what is boxing ha:
been submitted to the jury in a San Fran.
cisco Court. Without any idea as to what
the verdict will be, we have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the attempt to
prove these flights" before the so-called
athletic clubs of the metropolis to be mere
harmless boxing matches is farcical. The
testimony showed that in the case at issue
the men fought some twenty rounds when
the police officers interfered and stopped
the brutal exhibition; that one of the men
was already "shaky" on his legs, and the
other was bleeding freely from wounds in
the face. The railing and floor of the
ring were padded to insure the fighters
from injury in falling from the effects OF
severe blows; the spectators paid heavy
fee to see the sport" and all the usual ac-
compartments of the prize ring were
noticeable in the arrangements of the
eight"
Yet in the face of this testimony the
counsel for defense insisted that the affair
was only scientific exhibition of skill.''
If that is true, then full-fedged fight must
be too horrible for description. The law
yers may confuse the jury and secure the
defeat of the law through a weak. kneed
verdict, but public opinion will not be
shaken from its conviction that these ex-
hibitions, where men fight, as in this case,
for a large sum Of money and certain
"honors," are prize contests of the order
intended by the law to be prohibited. All
the CLOSING that can be attempted cannot
conceal the fact that boxing matches,
such as properly enough any one may wit
ness, are not brutal, are not continued I'M
til one or the other of the contestants is
exhausted or crippled-"knocked out" the
fighting fraternity is pleased to term it.
Nor do the young men who in the gym
nasiums, public and private, learn the art
vi ocll-utISuSS HUI IL cSStuIldi W engage
in any of these "knock outs" or purse con-
tests.
The whole truth is, that the so-called
athletic clubs of San Francisco, in which
hired bruisers batter each other for the
amusement of the memb RS, who them
selves take no part whatever In any sort of
athletic exercise, are offenses against the
law and community, and should be sup
pressed.
Since the foregoing was put in type, the
news is that the jury has acquitted tie ac-
cused in the San Francisco case. 1t is
added that this settles the question of the
lawfulness of these prize fights. By no
means. The verdict of single jury can
not constitute license for practice that
is forbidden by the statutes. A single jury
decision is not the final and irreyocable
Interpretation of the law. 1t settles moth
ing but the specific case passed upon. 1t
is silly to say that it therefore warrants
general prize fighting of the order for
which these alleged athletic clubs hang
up purses.

The Mortgaged West.

The Western States have given more at
tention to the collection of statistics Of
mortgages than other parts of the country
The subject is one of great and growing In
terest, and it is well worth the careful ex-
animation Of statisticians and statesmen.
Ohio is the oldest of the Northwestern
States. The State Bureau of Statistics re-
ported, for the year 1888, 291 $40 mort
cages upon real estate, and the amount for
which the land is mortgaged is $3.50, $685.
900. The assessed value of real estate was
81, 220, 262, 600; the mortgage indebtedRss,
therefore, was, within a fraction, one
third the value of the whole real estate OF
Ohio.
The aggregate mortgage Indebtedness OF
the people of Indiana is at least $780,.
100000.
The total number of real estate mort
cages in Illinois in 1887, apart from city
lots, was 92,777, for an amount of Sl42,-
100000, the overdue interest amounted to
4,9l9.754, and the total Indebtedness of
the farmers, therefore, was Sl47 $4,000.
The number of acres mortgaged was $685.
794, and the rate OF interest was about 81
per cent. But of course the interest
nominated in the bond" was not all The
interest. in one form or another, will
rarely fall below 10 per cent.
The annual report of the Michigan La
Dor Bureau for 1888 shows the following
results: The total number of farms in the
State was 90,S03, of which 1909 were
mortgaged, their assessed value being 49,
$4,000, and the mortgage Indebtedness
49,, 456,000. The rate of interest was 10
per cent, and the accrued interest was 81
$1,000. The percentage of mortgages to
the assessed value of the mortgaged lands
was 46.S. The number of mortgage fore
closures during the year was 1867, and
the number of redemptions 131. The num-
Der of sales under execution was pa, and
the number of redemptions was SO.
There are said to be 10000 farms in
Kansas; and on this basis the editor of the
Topeka Aduocate concludes that the total
mortgage Indebtedness of the State, among
the farmers, is STAG, $4,000. The report
adds: "a great many have had to borrow
interest from the banks, and others have
not paid interest for two years."
The virgin soil of the West is rapidly
ceasing to be the home and the
possession of the sturdy American freeman.
1t is related of John Randolph of Roanoke
that when visiting a neighboring planter.
some seventy years ago, he found his
hostess surrounded by her female servants,
making clothing for the Greeks who were
struggling for liberty and independence.
But, while taking leave, he observed a
troop of ragged slaves approaching the
house; and turning, he said to the lady,
Madam, the Greeks are at your door,"
