WAsHINGroN, Feb. E.-News of the

Nicaraguan government was unoiiiclally

by the official records TO be erroneous. All

HELENA, Feb. 1.-THE annual report OF
the state board of charities and reform
recommends that the prison school at
Deer Lodge be established as contem-
plated by the rules; that more suitable
room be provided for the hospital; that
another corridor be erected or the present
one enlarged to accommodate the prison

tractors are not responsible for that. as
they are furnished by the state. The low
rate of mortality and the general good
health there prove that the situation is
good and the food wholesome.
Speaking OF the insane asylum the report
says the treatmen; there seems as humane
as the facilities and the character of the
patients permit. The report points out
the urgent need Of the reform school,

joice that our methods and institutions
are as efficient as they are. But il is our
opinion that the whole system of manag.
ing public institutions like poor farms,
prisons or asylums by contract is an un.
wise policy, which the state ought to dis.
continue at the earliest possible moment.
For the state to make merchandise Of de-
pendent, defective or criminal classes is
neither wisdom nor economy. Any one
who takes n contract enters into IL 10

he may be, be is inevitably limited by this
consideration. We do not wish to east
any reproach on the contractors in charge
