A HOSPITAL CAR.
The Santa Fe Will Build a Car Especial,
For the sick and injured.


For the Sick and Injured.
Every person who has been sick and
has been recommended a change of eli
mate, and made an attempt to get it via
a railroad. knows well the inconvenience
of travelling any distance at all by rail
when sick.
The Santa Fe hospital department
thinks it has struck the right lead in a
hospital car
The idea originated in TOpeka-as
most good ideas do-with Chief Surgeon
HogeLoom and Superintendent of Hos
pitfalls DR.. J. R. Fay.
The experiment will be tried at least,
one of the members of the Santa Fe
hospital department told a JOURNAL re-
porter today, and after the plans have
been completed the frat regularly in use
hospital railroad car in the world will be
built at the Topeka shops.
1t will be a we'll built car and will have
room for perhaps as high as six or eight
patients at a time It will be SO ar
ranged that the sick bed will be as COM
Portable as in the patients own we'll fur
nished home or in the hospital There
will be room for the attendants aud the
physician if one is carried, and the car
will also have on board a good supply OF
the common remedies and drugs
It will be in readiness to respond to
emergency calls probably, but it has not
yet been decided whether the car will
make regular trips of the entire line OF
not, say once a week.

SENATOR DAVID b. Hill took dinner
with President Cleveland on Thursday
night of last week and it is believed this
signifies the end of the feud which has
existed for years between these two men.
Both men have discovered the fact that
neither amounts to a baubee unless
backed by the great party that made
them both and as the dissensions that
they have engendered ana encouraged
have brought disaster to the Democracy
the sight of the wreck and ruin they
have wrought has probably halted both.
The selfish instinct Of self preservation
has compelled what the good of the party
could not command and both are to be
congratulated that their muliShnesS has
at last given away to good common horse
sense.
The stretching of the senatorial legs of
David B. Hill under Cleveland's table for
the purpose of dipping his fingers in the
presidential salt and partaking of a
square meal may have much future
significance to the Democracy. If it
foretells the burying of old political ami
mosities and the working together in
the future of these gentlemen in the best
interests of the party that created them,
then the rank and file of the party will
have much to be thankful for. 1t is a
good thing to lock the stable even after
the horse is stolen as it may preserve
what Is left.

IT is authotitatively stated at Wash
ington that President Cleveland has not
considered the question of an extra ses.
sion and that he does not believe an ex.
ira session viii be necessary. The au-
thority for this statement is amember of
congress who talked with the President
specifically upon this subject to day.
This gentlemen thinks that the reve-
nues consequent upon the collection of
the income tax, the sugar tax and from
other sources, will, within few months,
give the treasury department a comfor-
table working surplus. He thinks it not
improbable that Secretary Carlisle may
be compelled to make another sale of
probably $50, 900, 900 of bonds, but that
when this shall have been done the con-
dition of the treasury will be so i'm
proved that no further trouble need be-
apprehended.

Germany and the sugar Tax.

Berlin, January 6. Secretary Gres-
hams statement as to the American
sugar tariff and treaty obligations has
been discussed widely since the arrival
of the last United States mail. Among
deputies as among editors the one
opinion is that the United States ought
not to enforce discriminating sugar tax
against Germany. Many deplore that
American representatives in Washington

American cattle as aretaliatory measure.
They say that it is merely sanitary.

\ HARRISBURG dispatch says; There
are strong intimatiOns that the leglsia-
ture will order an investigation into the
operations OF the text book trust under
the new free school book law. The sys-
tenn of free books in the school in itself
has proven a great success, and there Is
more likely to be an enlargement of 1t
than a reIrOgrade movement. But lead
ing legislators of both parties who nave
been inquiring into the subject are con-
WINGED that the state paid out during the
year perhaps million dollars more than
necessary in the shape of trust profits.
A number of the districts, including
Pittsburg, have not reported the amount
expended to the state officers. The to-
tai as far as heard from, for the school
year ending June I, 1894, for books and
supplies is 81. SOL, ia 15. This, it is
stated at the department, is considera
bly, more than was anticipated. The
| amount per capita ranges from as low a:
So cents in one county to as much as <
in others. There is an entire absence o
uniformity. Some distric expended
more than the state appropriation, anC
others turned the new law into a money
making scheme.
For instance, Pittsbuag pays 90 cent
for an algebra which costs MCkeespOr
81. On the other hand, the little towl
of BellefOnte, which appears to be es
pecially fortunate, buys the same bOOl
for 80 cents BellefOnte also secures TO
63 cents, geometry which costs Sl.O5 il
