Prince of Santa Fe, n. NJ. He is here in
the interest of the proposed national Ma

are provided until il shall be BILE to meet
the wants of all the Masons and mem bers
of Masons' families throughout the en-
tire land who are afflicted with pulmon-

It is estimated that the number Of suf-
ferers who would gladly avail themselves
would be the greatest of boons, exceeds
$500 annually.
Citizens of Santa Fe have pledged
themselves to donate tract of 100 acres
of land, or more if it be required, where

cost; that those admitted to the home
who are able to pay shall be charged
only a reasonable sum without view to

rected to make this real home for the
suffering, not a mere hospital for the
sick.

The above communication puts the best
face on police department matters that is
possible; still it doesn't overcome the
fact that if there is not a reduction in
the police force las we'll az in other de-
partments) the business men of Topeka
will have to submit to an occupation tax;
it WON'T take more than five minutes for
the business men to decide which horn
Of the dilemma must be chosen. An oc-
cupation tax is detestable aud unjust and
only to be resOrted to when there is no
other way out But if reductions in the
expense of the city departments are to
be made, it is only just and fair that the
police department accept the inevitable
along with the other departments. 1t
ought not to maintain an air of superior
ity over them. 1t ia not for partisan
reasons that this is demanded, but purely
from business standpoint The police
department is not to be singled out for
reduction, but TO suffer its fair share with
the rest If the street commissioners
force is to be reduced in numbers, the
police force should be reduced, too.
Comparison of the expenses Of former
years with this year has nothing to do
with the matter. The city is hard up,
right now; the only way out is a reduc-
ton of expenses or an occupation tax;
everybody knows the fate Of an occupa-
ton tax; it stirs up ill-feeling and liti-
cation and breaks down almost as soon
as its collection is undertaken.

men. They are held to their posts in sun
