Speaking of the condition of the parish pri
son the Grand Jury says:
.The sanitary condition of these rooms seems
to be very much neglected. and better should
be provided The simple fact of ones incar
nation does not necessarily make him a crimi-
nal, and even if all persons sent to Jail We're
criminals they are at least entitled to humani
tartan consideration, and should not be hud
died up like so many beasts in den with nG
opportunity even to relieve the calls of nature,
except in the apartments in which they each
drink, eat and sleeep. This is the condition OF
the cellroom'in our jail, filthy, nauseous and un
healthful in the extreme. In further connec
ton with the Jail question we will say that res
pectable and prominent citizens Of our town
have called our attention to the absolute sach
of discipline among the prisoners. They are
permittedato get drunk, fight, hold pseudo re-
Iigious services expose their persons to pas
sers-by, and use such loud, boisterous, blasphe
NOUS and obscene language as to be an out
rage and nuisance that should not be tolerat
ed in decent community"
