THE MONTANA PRISON.

Newspapers printed in New York. IN
Boston and In other cities are giving
editorial attention TO prison and re-
form school management in Montana.
This states reform school is too young
to have made for itself a record that
Is Of value. but the prison at Deer
Lodge is under enlightened manage
ment. with results that are known 10
be excellent. There is nothing especi-
ally novel, however. about prison
methods at Deer Lodge. the theory
simply is that the prisoners are crimi-
mails but that. first OF all. they are men
and that there is a possibility of
bringing a percentage OF them, at
least. TO reformation. The aim has
been to provide employment OF some
kind for those who are willing 10
work.
On this score the New York Journal
said. last Saturday: I'm the begin
ming there were no tools or materials,
50 the eonvicts were employed 10 build
the prison wall. This furnished occu-
patton and taught many of them the
useful and profitable trade Of masonry.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-04-16

The prison was economically provided
with a wall, and the convicts. stimu-
lated by the promise that faithful SER
vice would be rewarded by shortening
the penal sentence, learned the trade
so thoroughly that they pursued 1t
after leaving prison. That job COM
pleted. the same plan was pursued
with several brick buildings for prison
purposes with equal success. These
We're followed by similar works, all
carrying out the main idea that the
convicts were men, and that men un-
der restraint need occupation. In the
absence of work they were required
to attend a prison school, where they
were taught or became teachers, ac-
cording to their intelligence"
The excellence of wall and building
construction at Deer Lodge has been
the theme of much favorable comment.
Months of employment there have
equipped scores of men with a trade;
the prison management has found that
a very large proportion of the men are
willing and industrious. In many in
stances. after their release from prison,
they have promptly secured employ
ment at the trade they learned in Deer
Lodge.
The question of prison management
Is a subject to which Governor Rick
ards has given much attention and
good has resulted therefrom. The gov
ernor has warmly recommended the
adoption in Montana of the parole sys-
tenn which is in successful operation in
several states. What the governor has
recommended on this subject is well
worth consideration.

THE BETTER WAY.

A few days ago the Washington Post
said that. beyond cavil, the republican
party must make an out-and-out dec
laration on the silver question. 1t will
make its protection views clear-it
must do the same with the silver issue.
Protection cannot restore prosperity
to the nation until the currency ques-
ton is settled"
This theme has been taken up by
many republican organs. The Philadel-
phia Inquirer says: I'VE have got
to put 1t down in so many words that
the republican party is committed
against the coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one or at any other
ratio"
The reading of the eastern press
shows that the effort will be strong to
put the st. Louis convention squarely
on record for the gold-basis plan. On
many accounts 1t is to be hoped that a
square issue will be made this year. II
the republicans declare themselves
against silver. then every republican
in Montana will know just what his
duty is
And, of course, the same will apply
to Montana democrats II the Chicago
convention goes wrong. But, in our
judgment, silver's chances with the
democratic convention are looking up
a little

An Explosion in Chicago Causes the Deat
of wo Persons

Chicago, April 15.-One of the main
buildings of the Chicago Fireworks com
pany at Gross Point, IA miles north of
this city, blew up this morning, resulting
in the death of Nicholas Boree and Annie
Boree. The explosion is supposed TO have
been caused by powder being ignted by
conclusion in the machinery used in max
ing fireworks. The first discharge blew
out the sides of the building. letting the
roof fall. A moment later another ex-
plosion shattered the roof. The remains
of Annie Boree have not been found.
Nicholas Boree. her brother, was hor-
ribly mangled. There were eight people
in the building. not one of whom escaped
injury. Several are believed to be fatal
ly burned.
The injured are: Chauncey Sirney,
Rosa Neirtens, Lizzie Shaften, Katie
Tallman, Emma Simpske and Annie
Cressant.

BETTER THAN THE PLATFORM

Cameron.
But that result at ST. Louis is simply
out of the cards. The eastern republi-
can organs are making a burlesque of
Mr. Cameron's candidacy. He will get
some votes-mighty few. however.

up and at II yesterday. They are for
free coinage. and they propose to let
Chicago know 1t. Every mention of the
crusade for silver received enthusi-
astic applause. And IT was the same in
the state of Washington; the Puget
Sound democrats were very earnest.
They were not able to go as far as they
had hoped to in the matter of instruct
ing the delegates. However. they went
squarely on record. and they will be all
right at Chicago.
In fact, the democrats made a good
record yesterday. The signs of the
day are that free coinage will be able
to put up a very strong fight in the
democratic convention. Meanwhile,
the Nebraska republicans select gold
