orr Prisons as a Place orAmusement

Our Prisons rs u AtoSS oA-ht
When our State prisons become a
place of amusement aud feaStings
on high days and holidays, it is not
only disgusting to all law abiding
citizens but demorAlizIng to the
community and encouraging to vice
and wiekedness. In other words, 1t
is encouraging and setting a prem
inn on crime. 1t is enough to make
every law abiding citizen in the State
blush with shame for the dignity
aud msgisty of the law, when he
reads Of such a spectacle as was
witnessed in the Baltimore city jail
yesterday where two Of the worst
criminals, GERRY Blaney, 1.-THE brute,
who was only few days ago SEN
fenced by the Court to be han
ged for the brutal murder of his
aged grandmother and aunt, aud
the notorious negro Forbes, the out
RACER of a young white girl in this
county, were brought out in the COR
ridors Of that institution on New
Years Day to afford amusement for
the other criminals. Oh, shame
where is thy blush for outraged
lawsl
We append the following (minus
the illustratlon) from the Baltimore
Morning Herald, which speaks for
itself
A holiday was given the prisoners in
the Jail Song, dance and boxing con-
stituted the features OF the days enjoy
ment, and roast beef and vegetables
were added to the spare menu at dinner.
The jollification was diversified by q
laughable scrap" between Ernest For
bes, the colorsd assailant of Miss
Phipps. of Anne Arundel county, and
Murderer Jerry Blaney Forbes put on
. pair OF heavy hand made gloves and
offered to knock Blaney out in one
round. The latter came down smiling,
and stepped into the ring formed by
interested prisoners. His first blow laid
Forbes prone, and the negro cried
enough Afterward Forbes sang sew
eral country camp meeting hymns, the
other colored men joining in the chorus.

apparatus. In short, the new building
should be wisely planned with reference to
the great future our faith has seen for
Helena, and it ought not to be planned
with any reference to tho mere saving of
money, where such p~rincely sums are so
promptly voted for school purposes as here
in this heart of the great northwest.

things arc now being prepared for, but l

Board Of Equalization Called Upon
by Taxpayers Looking
for Relief.
No More Reductions to be Mado
on Stock for the
Present.
State Equalization Board Also In Session
and Determining the Assessment
on Railroad Property.

The county board of equalization had a
busy time of it yesterday. Taxpayers were
in attendance from the hour the board
convened until tue time it adjourned at five
in the afternoon. About fifty formal COM
plants were received in writing. After
filing the paper the complainant remained
to make a verbal protest against his assess
ment and ask for o reduction or a correc-
ton. Business is accommodating rapidly
and there Is every prospect that the board
will take up the entire time allowed them
under the new revenue act. They are lin
tied until August 10 in which to finish the
work.. The adoption of the resolution pub
lished yesterday whereby the assessment
was lowered on west side property has had
the effect of bringing owners of east side
property asking for a similar lowering OF
the assessment in that part of the city.
Among the applications for a change in the
figures yesterday was one from the Helena
Hardware company for a &c per cent. re-
duction on an assessed stock of $3b,OO.
One taxpayer succeed in getting his assess
ment reduced $4,000 ann thought it should
have been cut down $4,000.
During the day the question of the proper
method of fixing values OF stocks of mer-
chandise came up. In n instance . mer-
chant had the assessment reduced on hi
stock to the amount that hs owed on it
The attorney general and the county attor
ney do not believe hat this can be dom
under the revenue Law. The board is hold
ing tho matter in allegiance and no NOR
| stocks will be reduced until the question /
settled.
