THE TOPICAL TALKER.
A Rreach of Trust.

FTER the service two Sundays ago at
certain church in this county little girl
met the pastor on the porch. She was pretty
little thing, not over 8, and she was crying
bitterly. He stopped. of course. and taking
one of her Ii tie hands in his asked her what
was the matter
Its g-g-g-g-goner' she sobbed.
"Whats gone? Don't cry! What is it you've
lost? I'll try to find it for YOU" said the kindly
clergyman, taking out his handkerchief and
wiDing the tears away from the little eyes that
were still cast down.
''Oh, sir! It's g-g-g-gone, 1 know-Arthur
says $780," and the sobbing began afresh, but
she managed to proceed with the story. II gave
Arthur my purse to keep in ch-ch-church, and
when the man c-c-came round with the
pl-pl-plate Arthur put in m-m-my f-f-hve-dollar
gold piece and it's gone, 1 know it is"
Well go back and find it, my little maid"
said he, and together they went into the little
room which answered for a Yestry and he took
the collection from the safe. found the little
gold coin sure enough, for it was the only one
there. and the treacherous Arthur's sister
smiled once more

COLUMBUS LOG BOOK.

A Welsh fisherman has drawn from the
depths Of the sea the log book kept by Co.
lumbus during his first voyage to America.
This is the story highly respectable Lon
don paper prints and the cable brings to us
to-day. For four hundred years the log
book which Columbus lost overheard in
storm has lain upon the oceans
bed, and yet we are told that
the entries are decipherable and the
precious relic well enough preserved gen.
orally to be reproduced in fac simile. We
know not which to wonder at most, the find
ing of the log book itself, or the delicate
courtesy shown to Chicago by the veracious
Welsh fisherman in making the discovery
in good time for the Columbian Worlds
Fair. The Welsh fisherman or his ancestors
might have found Columbus diary almost
any time during the four centuries that have
elapsed since it sank beneath the Atlantic.
But they have waited till now. evidently
ont of kindly but somewhat unaecount-
able regard for Chicago. What the great
city by the Lake has done already for this
simple fisherman of Wales or his forbears
we DO not know, but the discoverer of the
log book is certainly entitled to q season
pass for the Worlds Fair. And if the log
book is presently sold to an American syndi-
cate with view to exhibition at Chicago in
1892, we submit that the Welsh fisherman
ought to be hired also at any price as COM
panion exhibit.

A AREAsoNABLE BEGINNING.

The agitation for free bridge from the
Southside to the old city has at last taken a
shape in which it can be Endorsed. In place
of looking to the purchase of existing
bridges, which would be impracticable, be-
cause of the immense price the corporations
owning them would be sure to demand, the
project is to begin by building one free
bridge where it is most needed, and after
ward following with others as the public
demand and the city finances permit. Since
the appropriations for Schenley Park
aroused the protest of Southside Council
men, because the Southside people have no
way of getting to the park, it is eminently
proper, as has been suggested, that the
site for the new bridge should be fixed either
at Twenty-fourth or Twenty-seventh street.
This opens up a communication between the
whole of the residence portion of the city
beyond the Court House and the most
thickly populated part of the Southside.
Such bridge would cost about $3.50, 900.
Part of this cost can be recouped by selling
or renting to passenger railway company
the right to run over it from the Southside to
the park, SO that the net investment to the
city would be greatly reduced.
There is Justice in the claim of the South
siders for free access to the main portion of
the municipality whose taxes they help to pay
and particularly for free way to the park.
But there is good deal, too, in presenting
the claim in practical form. To ask for
the purchase of all the existing bridges at
the fancy prices which their corporation
owners would demand would be to incur
weighty and inadvisable Indebtedness. To
begin by building what is absolutely need
full at point near which no communication
of any sort now exists is so far more reason
able that Southsiders have only to press for
it and they will be sure to get it.

A CHANCE FOR HOMEOPATHY.

1t was decided by Allegheny Common
Councils last night to admit homeopathy
to share in the benefits of Allegheny Gen.
eral Hospital. Determining the merits of
rival schools of medicine is very delicate
problem, and it is hardly to be wondered
that some of the councilmen were appalled,
in its presence. But We think Councilman
Thomas, ofthe Sixth ward. was unnecessarily
pessimistlc in his view that it will not do to
mix homeopaths and allopaths at the hos
pital, and that the only result will be in
creased mortality. 1t is true that, accord
ing to one version of an ancient adage,
''when doctors disagree, the patient dies, -
but at the Allegheny Hospital it appears
that patients will only have to run the risk
of one school of medicine at time.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-11-22

Israel. Finally we can hardly regard this
savage perverslon of the character of the
Prince 81 Peace as wholly inexplicable; for
it is only little more at variance with the
real character of the Founder of Christian
ity than the practical course of nations
which are avowedly Christian. When we
contrast the religious system based upon the
Golden Rule with the long succession OF
force and fraud that has made up our Indian
policy, we may we'll doubt whether the
Indian idea OF a Messiah is more widely
astray than the civilized observance OF His
teachings.
1t is to be hoped that the delusion of
miraculous restorer of savage supremacy
for this continent may be restrained from
leading the Indians to an outbreak which
would infiict untold miseries on the West,
and result in the determination of the few
remaining Indians. Of course, too, If the
outbreak comes, force must be resorted to
for the defense of settlers in the vicinity of
the reservations. But while resorting to
such measures of repression, the nation
may we'll take the Indian superstition re-
garding the Messiah as lesson on the way
in which it adheres to the real teachings Of
the Messiah whose leadership it processes to
follow

TAXES ON THE STREET CARS.

The demand upon the traction companies
to step up and pay their share of city taxes,
like individuals and other corporations
doing business in the city and enjoying the
benefits of municipal government, is so en-
tirely reasonable that the management of
companies should not hesitate about ar
ranging for some fair basis. The DISPATCH
recognizes the benefits of rapid transit and
has been in favor of giving the traction COM
panies liberal facilities; but this is the more
reason why it should urge them now to fair
course in reference to taxes. 1t would be
giaringly unjust, for instance, to oblige the
city to pay for the corner policemen who
are required to protect traction railway
crossings.
There was time when several of the city
passenger roads were hard-up, and the slight
tax upon cars was abated to help some OF
them out. But that was in the old horse
and mule period. Now the companies, we
venture to say. are making money like
lightning, and 1t behooves them to be fairly
liberal. By meeting the demands in a fair
and friendly way, they will do better than
to trust to the ultimate outcome of adverse
public sentiment.

deliveries and collections of mail, IN multi
plying postal stations and in generally
bringing nearer to the people the facilities
of the postal service. But the fact remains
that while this progress is gratifying los, 900
people in Allegheny, and probably 10000
people in the smaller suburbs are excluded
from its benefits by the system which con-
fines it within the arbitrary political divi-
sions our community exhibits of half a
dozen cities and boroughs- The same bene-
fits which are to be expected in New York
from the organization of single postal sys-
tenn that will embrace the whole community,
would be experienced on a proportionate
scale here.
Ii the organization OF a metropolitan
postal system in New York is attained,
Pittsburg should watch its operation closely
and be ready to claim its benefits for this
community.

THE INDIAN MESSIAH,

Hardly any development of modern times
presents a more remarkable mixture of per-
yerted Christian teaching and savage super
stition than the excitement at the Indian
agencies, and the danger of an Indian out
break, from the belief that Messiah has
arisen Tor the express leadership of the In
dIans, and under whose miraculous
guidance they can sweep away the whites
and regain possession of the country from
which they have been driven by degrees
during two and half centuries. The In-
dian conception of Messiah whose leader
ship should be solely for the benefit of the
Indians, and whose mission will be the ex-
termination OF the whites, is a wholly unex-
pected outgrowth of missionary instruction.
Yet when we consider coolly we may see
that it is not unnatural or without analogy
in some more civilized ideas on the same
subject.
In the first place it is not hard to see that
the savage mind is almost wholly incapable
of taking in the idea of a religious Head
and good will toward men; nor has the
course OF the white race, as whole, aided
the Indians in assimilating what to them
must be wholly foreign rule of action. In
giving to the Messiah rather the character
of Header, conqueror and restorer of lost
possessions and supremacy, the Indians
simply follow the Hebrew analogy,
and a curious idea is presented in
this connection by the old theories
ventilated a generation ago that the
Indian races are really the ten lost tribes of
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-11-22

An interesting proposition has been de-
veIoped in New York Tor a metropolitan
postal system, which shall not be confined
to the political divisions of that city, but
shall put the postal business of New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken and all
the other suburbs under the control of a
single head, with the center at the New
York postofice, and its branches organized
throughout all the suburbs, SO as to secure
the most efficient methods. The plan has
received the approval of ex-Postmaster
General James, whose authority, especially
on the postal service of New York, is of the
highest rank.
The idea has an especial interest for Pitts
burg, because we have here presented on a
reduced scale the same conditions which
have given rise to the proposition in
New York. Notice has been taken of the
progress made In late years, in the way of
increasing the number and promptness of
