Republicanism the Hope Of Kansas.

The Kansas City Star has never
been accused Of friendliness for Re-
publicanism, indeed its sympathies
are the other way. Yet IL comedies
that the hope Of this state is Republic
canism. 1t says "The Republican
party, after two years OF enforced
idleness, returns TO the fray as a
giant refreshed 1t wants to get
back, and il secs fair chance of re-
gaining its lost supremacy. The
party by which It was turned down
two years ago has not satisfied popu-
lar expectation. 1t promised too
much. Its performances have been
grotesGuely out of proportion to its
pledges. 1t has accomplished some
good by giving the Republican party
Il drubbing which may teach it to
behave but II has not developed any
talent for government, and it has
made too many mistakes to invite a
second Endorsement. There h a hos
pitable and friendly disposition to-
ward the Republican party in Kansas
just now. The Populists have proved
to be a great disappointment, and,
after the harmful results of fusion,
there is no hope Of the Democrats
pulling themselves together for any
effective work this year. The only
thing they can hope to do is to make
step in the direction OF repairing their
shattered organization. The main
hope of TIE state therefore, centers
ON the Republicans, Il is to them
that the people in Kansas and outside
look to restore the credit of the state,
which has been impaired by Populist
rule, and TO revive confidence in the
value of investments there

A WOULD=BE DETECTIVE.

A young man giving the name of
Helm was detained by the police
Thursday and held until Saturday
to investigate some claims that he
had made to being a detective. He
wanted to act as a detective in the
burglary cases, and thought that he
could locate the stolen goods, but the
police were suspicious of his claims
and thought that possibly he knew
more of the matter than he appeared
to. Helm gave references as to his
detective work in the past, and Chief
Yates telegraph6d to the addresses
given, but was informed that the per-
sons addressed could not be found.
Helm was released this morning.
He stated to FREE PRESS reporter
that he has several relatives in Red
Wing, and that he has been working
at different places, and is DESTROYS to
get home. He has been sick and in
hospitals in various places. He
thought that he might locate the
stolen goods and secure 800 reward,
which would be a benefit to him.
Helm is neatly dressed, and bright
looking young man, and those who
have observed him have no idea that
he had anything to do with the rob-
berries. 1t is thought that his detec-
tive skill is myth, born of reading
yellow covered literature. He sought
lodgings at the city hall Wednesday
and Thursday nights.
There are no new developments in
the robbery cases, and no attempts at
house breaking were reported last
night.

ROYAL GORGE.

The approach to the Grand Canon
of the Arkansas following down Ar
kansas river affords view of some Of
Colorado's most delightful scenery,
mountains in battalions, cascades in
companies, valleys in squads and
lastly, as a climax the grand impos-
ing, mighty generalissimo of the won
drous region, Royal Gorge. A descrip-
tion of this prodigy of nature, this
marvellous handiwork of God is given
in part seven of ''Glimpses of Amer
esQue wonders of Colorado, and no
one interested in American scenery
should fail to obtain a copy of this
interesting portfolio. Better still is
to get all of them and so become
thoroughly acquainted with the diff
ferelt parts of your own country. OF
some of the mountain scenes given of
Colorado it is said that there are
seams and depressiOns in their awful
cliffs, and projections and cavities
which show imprints of the teeth of
frost, and away up on these eagles
have found resting places, and built
their eyries where only the storm-god
can reach them. Distance as eX-
pressed lin feet on paper conveys
scarcely an idea of mountain height
or canon depth, for the awesome pres
ence is lacking. But the height of the
walls of the Royal Gorge is 5000 feet,
more than half mile, while the
chasm is only fifty feet wide where the
river rushes through and but seventy
feet at the summit.
Description of this astounding
canon will be found in Part 7, of
"Glimpses of America, " which is now
ready for distribution at the FREE
PRESS office. This elegant number
contains twenty views of the most
sublime scenery in Colorado, accom-
panied by full descriptive matter, of
which the above quotation is a sam
pie. One coupon and ten cents will
buy the present number. Two cou-
pons of different dates will secure any
or all of the previous numbers at ten
cents each.

CEMENT SEWER PIPE.

The caving in of the cement sewer
pipe beside the city hall but confirms
the often expressed opinion of City
Engineer Haynes as to the lasting
qualities of that pipe. This pipe has
broken in at two places, and it will
cost the city nice little sum of money
to repair the damage. Our best Cit
liens, those whose judgment is worth
having, have always been opposed to
the use of cement pipe for sewer pur-
poses. Cement is indispensable in it's
place, but it is entirely out of it's
sphere when used in sewer pipe, as the
engineers of cities are now generally
agreed. In such bad order has cement
sewer pipe grown that some cities are
tearing it up and replacing it with
vitrified clay pipe. 1t is now seldom
that city is found so backward as to
put down cement pipe in new sewers.
Cement sewer pipe has been discarded,
and like castoff things should never
be heard of again. If there is any one
thing that has injured the Mankato
cement works it is it's sewer pipe. To
INSIST that this be used, and to thrust
it upon an unwilling public against
its best judgment, is folly little less
than insanity.
The FREE PRESS has always been
loyal to home industries, and it
always will be. But there is so-called
patriotism that is foolhardy in the
extreme, and the use of cement
sewer pipe in this age of enlighten-
ment and progress is of this nature.
There is loyalty to our citizens who
are assessed to pay for laying sewers
and for renewing them when they
cave in and become destroyed, which
demands of the city government that
it give them the best to be had
for the money. Vitrified clay
pipe is as cheap or cheaper than &C.
ment pipe, and is easier to lay and
lasts as long as the earth in which it
is packed. Vitrified clay pipe has a
smooth inner surface, is healthier, land
does it's work far better than the rough
cement pipe.
L ct the city cease to waste the tax
payers money in the vain worship of
the shadow of sentiment, miscalled
patriotism. Patriotism to the city is
as far above this ignorant croaking as
the sun is above the will-o'-the-wisp
that hangs above the stagnant swamp.
Let us be loyal to the taxpayers of
the city. Let us be loyal to the for
eign capitalists who own the cement
works byrefusing longer to place their
product where it is bound to be fail
ure and react upon the reputation of
Mankato cement in all it's other uses.
The caving in of the pipe by the city
hall is but one instance Of it's utter
failure for sewer purposes, and the
testimony of all qualified to speak on
the subject is in favor of vitrified clay
pipe.
