What Pittsburg Needs.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The citizens of Pittsburg are too slow to
do anything to help make it what it should
be. Why can't we have a public building
like other cities to accommodate any con-
vention that may be held. To hold the Re-
publican convention here would do Pitts
burg good in many ways, and to have the
honor of nominating the Hon. James G. Blaine
would be feather in our cap. Pittsburg
should keep pace in all things with the out
side world. 8. j. j..

Travelling for Safety.

An American who was on his first trip on
an English railway quite held his breath at
the rapid running. When his nervousness
rather overcame him he approached the
guard:

fast travelling for safety, isn't it?''
"Oh no, sir,'' replied the guard; eve never

it would be wise for the Western courts, to
preserve themselves against being

Reciprocity goes on winning victories for
America in the markets OF the world in spite
of all the efforts of Eastern Democrats to
discredit the principle. In exchange for
free sugar Germany admits wheat, flour,
and potted and eorned meats. This is the
sort of reciprocit? which the agricultural
interest of the United States can appreciate
and which does not a'erfere with American
industries OF American labor. 1t is a form
of free trade that is entirely consistent with
the American system of protection.

IS 1T A MISTAKE?
A Young Man Locked Up on the
Charge OF Burglary.

A Young Man Locked Up on the
Charge OF Burglary.
Early this morning an officer
arrested young man for being drunk
and disorderly. When taken to
the station and searched, q bunch
of SO keys of every size and dimen-
sion, Q pair of heavy iron scissors, and
Q dog collar, belonging to q real es-
tate man whose Office had been re-
Gently burglarized, were found upon
his person. The arrested party was
locked up in the bat cave and fined,
the detectives mean while working up
the case. This morning the real
estate man made the charge of bur-
glsry against the man, and he was
transferred to the county jail. It ap-
pears now that the real estate man
thinks he was mistaken, that he had
very likely left the collar In an old
desk of his and that the collar was
not among the articles stolen from his
office. For this reason the real
estate man is seriously considering
the matter of Withdrawing his charge.
The friends of the arrested state
that he found the collar in his desk
and he carried 1t with him to return
to the owner. It was his intentions to
leave for Austin last evening, but he
did not get off on the train and was
thus delayed until this morning,
drinking heavily, which brought him
into his present trouble.
