THE GREAT METROPOLITAN DAILIEg.

A glance at any of the New York
dailles shows that they are run for reve-
nue. only-thAt a position involving prin-
ciple Is seldom taken save with an eye
to the financial outcome. They all cal
culate shrewdly In dollars and cents be-
fore taking any position on a public
question, and are more often right than
wrong only because In the long run
honesty pays better. A careful reading
Of the principal New York dailles yes
terdsy and to-day shows that not one Of
them dare take an honest stand for the
rights of labor as against the demands Of
capital. The World attempts TO play the
part Of the demSgogue and pretendS 8
sympathy it dare not carry out to logl-
cal conclusion. The Press, for the sake
of the Republican party, makes a de-
mand for arbitration with view TO take
the men back and thus avoid the general
revolt among laborlng people all over the
Union which It fears will bring utter de-
struction to its party. The Sun is the
bitterest enemy of labor Of any paper
published In the east Il demands for
capital the right to deal in human labor
according TO the law of supply and de-
mand, irrespective Of any moral question
involved. 1t is a sad commentary on our
Christian civilization that every law on
the subject has been framed to enforce
the right of capital to do as 1t pleaseS in
It's traficking with human souls, that the
entire militia and police power-locsl,
state and natlona-must be called out to
enforce that right. This moral question
involved will not down, and under the
banner Of the Peoples party will be
thrust again and again upon the aTten-
tion of the public. Every just right,
both Of property and men, should be
carefully guarded, but If this position
be taken then capital cannot be allowed
as at present to ignore the moral right of
human beings to receive an honest days
pay for an honest days labor. The ques-
tion Of what ls an honest days pay for
any class of labor should be settled peace
fully and suthoritRtively, but by neither
the despOtic greed Of capital on the one
hand nor the angry, unreasonable de-
man1 of labor on the other. It is the
duty Of our government, if It be Chris
tian In It's laws, to protect labor In It's
rights as we'll as capital, 10 treat both
with equal justice. The justice Of this
positlon cannot be ignored, and nopower,
even Of arms, can. long enforce In free |
country the demands Of capital while ig-
noring those Of labor. The people must |
demand new laws.
One danger all good citizens should
foresee and avoid, which is the taking Of |
extreme positions on either side. The
people Of the east misunderstood and
the political uprising In the
west and south which has eliminated in |
the Peoples party, and on'the other hand
the members Of the Peoples party mis-
Judge the people in the east. Educa-
tlOn and a correct Interpretation of pub
lie needs, will bring all fsir-minded
citizens together, and then, let US hope,
the conflicts otherwise sure to result, will
be avoided. God grant that this may re-
suit before the torch of popular lndIgna-
lion shall fire our whole national struc-
ture. SINcERrrAs.

veins to the Redwood river. A reli-
able engineer was found in the person
of Chas. F. Loweth, Of ST. Paul, and
he made his first preliminary report
in November Of last year, calling at
tention to the fact that the water sup
ply could only be obtained through
either artesian wells, the Redwood
river and the springs running into
them. He thought that a power

high, has tin roof and is divided in
two rooms by a solid brick partition
one side of which is used for the boil
er and the other for two pumps, still
leaving room for a motor for electric
power. The large pump used is
Gordon twin pattern duplex piston, of
which cut is given, and has capac-
ity Of delivering 100000 gallons of
water every "a hours It is of special
construction, having an l9 inch stroke
cylinder, and is designed for small
water works, and for large business
houses where several elevators are in
use, rolling mills or paper mills where
large quantities Of water are used, it
has no superior. This machine being
designed for water works purposes
has been made especially heavy1in all
parts. The steam and water ends are
connected by heavy steel stretcher
rods. The rock shaft bearing is ad-
Unstable, the cross heads are extra
heavy, the rock-shaft levers are wrought
iron forged to shape, polished and
connected to the cross-heads by heavy
brass links. The steam valve rod links
are of brass and the steam valves can
be adjusted by set nuts while the ma
chine is in motion. The steam valves,
are plain slide valves with "gridiron"
seats with no complicated mechanism
and can be adjusted without the aid
of skilled mechanics. The machine is
fitted with cushion and controlling
valves. The water end is cast in "twin"
and fitted with heavy cast brass pump
barrels which can be taken out and
replaced by any workman. The sue
ton opening is so arranged that it
can be set for connecting upon either
side or either end. The discharge
pipe can be adjusted in the same man
ner. The valves are of the very best
India rubber and the valve seats are
made of brass of the ''grate" pattern.

RESERVOIR.
POWER HOUSE AND RESERVOIR.

That the words fell pleasantly on
the ears of Mayor Dickinson, Aids.
Bager. Burmeister, Peck and Schmahl
there is no doubt, but that they will
fall much pleasanter on the ears of
hundreds of citizens of this city, there
is much less doubt.
What a credit frst-class system
of water works, under a maximum rate
is to a city. no one but people residing
in cities without and with water works
can tell. Good, pure water constant
ly pumped into your business houses
or private residences, whenever you
desire it, certainly has tendency to
make city feel metropolitan in more
ways than one.
There has been great difficulty in
securing water for this city. Efforts
have been made to find artesian wells,
but all of no avail. Way back in the
early days of Redwood Falls, A. Cook,
whose dust now lies quietly in the
Redwood Falls cemetery, realizing
that the city needed fire protection,
authorized the sinking of half a dozen
wells in different parts or the city.
These, however, through neglect, be-
came worthless in very short time.
Time wore on and still nothing was
done, although every one realized the
need of better fire protection. A
chemical was purchased and while an
excellent fire department did excellent
service with that machine, better fa-

There is now about three miles of
from 4 to 8 inch pipe laid, connected
with 80 hydrants, ,16 valves or gates and
the necessary specials to complete
system. The tower pressure on the
hydrants is 45 pounds. At the inlet
to the tower is an electric valve which
is used to connect the mains with the
pump, giving direct pressure of
from so to 100 pounds on Second
street, throwing water 20 feet over the
opera house, which is heavy enough to
force water through thousand foot
hose over any dwelling in the city.
This completes the systems, which
was put in on an economical basis,
characteristic of the shrewdness of our
present city officials, at cost of only
$24,5OO.
The whole was done under the di-
.rection of Charles F. Loweth, who has
put in waite works for seven different
cities, and who is now consulting en-
gineer for Mankato and Sioux City.

cilities were needed. And so when
the present council came into office
several propositions for better fire
protection and water service were
made. One was to build tank and
dig we'll for fire purposes only. Then
came the hunting for places where an
artesian we'll might be found, but in
every place bored, authorized by the
council, within a radius of two miles of
the city, granite rock was struck and
boring ceased. Giying this up the

the rainy season the Council extended
the time to Aug. 3. On Aug. IL the
works were formally accepted by the
Council, after a couple of days spent
in testing the power of the pumps, the
pipes and the hydrants, and finding
them success.
THE POWER HOUSE,
A mile from the center of the city
adjacent to the Redwood river, and
beautifully located, stands brick
building 32x 60 feet. It is one story

With it goes Gordon duplex piston
boiler feed pump and feed water
heater, used for feeding and of which
a cut is herewith given. The boiler in
the adjoining room is of sc horse pow
er, constructed of single sheet bot
tom and insured in the Hartford
Steam Boiler Go 1t is easily capable
of handling pumps of twice the ca
pacity.
The power house is connected with
the river by ten-inch suction pipe to
obtain water for the boiler and also to
be sent through the mains in times of
large fires, or when the water
for domestic use has been ex-
hausted.
Just east of the power house
and connected with the same is
the storage reservoir for spring
water which is to be used exclu-
sivelv, unless fire breaks out.
The reservoir is IL feet deep
and 20 feet in diameter and has
capacity of $4,000 gallons. It
is sunk into the ground, construc-
ted of brick and cement and is
covered with roof. 1t is con-
nected with the springs farther
east by pipe, which $50 feet
away, connects with a wooden
- box into which the water first
-= congregates. The box is per-
- forated with holes on the side
and top and is covered with
stones. Through these holes and
stones it passes into the pipe
and through that to the reservoir. At
present only one line of springs are
used. They furnish 1000 gallons of
water per hour and it is estimated
that the other systems, when tapped,
will furnish eight times as much, or a
total of 5000 gallons per hour.
THE WATER TOWER.
The tower is situated one-haf mile
distant from the pumping station.
The trestle work is 20 feet high. The
extreme height of the tower is 81 feet
