The value of these organicitlons in

strated , HO that no argument can bo

of republican league clubs , but they
can bo largely Increased And an ener

should ho enrolled in these organiza

The record of Grover Cleveland's hos
tility to the pension bills pasiod by con
gress during his administration afford : )
a sufllcicnt explanation of the feeling
against him which exists among the
union veterans. They naturally look
with nisfuvor and distrust upon n man
who as president of the United States
vetoed 624 pension bills and upon all
possible occasions commented harshly ,
if not Insultingly , upon what ho was
pleased to rugard as the unreasonable
demands of u horde of unprincipled
alms-seekers.
During his /our years of .service as
chief oxecutix-o of the nation Mr. Clove-
hind became so intoxicated with power
and so putted up with vanity that ho did
not hesitate to set himself up as the
possessor of wisdom incomparably su
perior to that of congress. Ho looked
down upon senators and representatives
as an inflated and solf-sulllciont peda
gogue might look down upon his pupils ,
aim no lectured thorn in his veto mes
sages us the pedagogue lectures his"
flock. Previous to his administration ,
from Washington to Arthur , inclusive ,
only 10U veto messages had been sent to
congress. It had not been customary
for presidents to assume to bo inflnitoly
wise. But it remained for the political
accident from Erie county , almost
wholly unacquainted with public lifo
and having no claim to statesmanship ,
to show that he , at least , know how to
use the veto power. Ho overruled the
congressional will fivo' times as often in
four years us his predecessors had done
in 100 years.
Tlio circumstance that 524 of his 697
vetoes wore aimed at the veterans goes
to show that the lack of patriotism
which led him to biro a sunstltuto
rather than fight for his country is still
a characteristic of tlio man , and that
having refused to expose himself to the
perils of war ho looks with contempt
upon these who wore loyal enough to go
to the front in defense of the flag they
loved.
The union veterans will not soon
forgot the troutmont which they re
ceived at the hands of Grover Cleveland.
Not only they , but thousands of their
friends who freely acknowledge in
debtedness to them , will put an em
phatic veto upon Mr. Cleveland's presi
dential aspirations , and relegate him to
the obscurity which mediocre mon of
his narrow and selfish mold are sure to
find when luck forsakes them.
It has been reserved for the demo
cratic county convention which assem
bled lost Saturday at Burlington , la. , to
perform an not of startling originality.
This convention of bourbons recom
mended that the district congressional
convention at Full-Hold next Saturday
pass-tho following resolution :
Ko3olycd , That tlio uomliico of tbo demo
cratic party for congroiaamn of tlio First
congressional district of lowu , in the event
of lha olocuon of Grover CluvUuna to tlio
presldnncy , is horauy rciiucstoil and In
structed in tbo dispensation of federal ofllcos
lu this district , to appoint no por.ion to olllco
who within iho four yoar.i last past has op
posed tlio olootlon of any nominee of any
city , county or stuto domocratlo convention
bold within tlin four years last past.
Unsolved , That tba socrotnry of this con-
vontlon place a copy of thmo resolutions In
tbo banil.i of Hon. J. J. Soorlcy.
It will not bo presumed that such
deals are not of usual occurrence be
tween the candidate and his party , but
in tlio history of politics wo believe this
is the lirdt time such a thing was
openly and unblushingly passed by a
political convention. Tlio action was
original , not to say unique , , It is a no
tice to Candidate Soarloy to liono.- only
the party thujM. The real bccrot of the
resolution is that it was sprung by cer
tain domoorntlo hotel-s'iloon owner of
Burlington who aspired -to the mayor
alty lust spring , was nominated , but de
feated by another democrat supported
by republicans and decent democrats ,
the lattur class being Soorloy'n particu
lar frlonds , who brought him out and
t-ecurod his nomination. Now the party
whip is laid upon Soorloy and ho is
commanded to ca'st olt his friends or bo
knifed.
Now if Soorloy was a strong man of
energy and Independence , ho would as
sort hlmsolf and defy the gang. liut ho
is not that sort. Ho Is a pleasant , good
follow , a fair typo of tho. modtoorltiou
which occupy seats in tillcongress. .
Jlo Is one of these peculiar objects
which ribo to the surface nftor an explosion -
plosion and ( bo duped people who wore
humbugged Into voting down the Me-
Klnluy law have had enough of that
sort. Of course lie will not object to
this load which ho is to carry , this open
brlbo which no honest man will accept ,
but will go on to defeat , despised by his
old frlenda and his "lough" allies.
When it | considered that ho is op-
poaoil by Governor John II. Gear , a man
of national reputation , Ills casb is in
deed pitiable.
But the scheme , is it not delightfully
frank and astonishingly bold ?
IMPOltTAXT TO H'KSTKliN
A movement is now on foot in the
stnto of Now York that is destined , if
successful , to produce results of consid
erable importance to the west. An
organization composed of business men
throughout the state , called the Union
for the Improvement of the Canals , has
lately boon formed to secure for the
grout artificial waterway across the em-
plro state such appropriations by the
legislature as will yrovont it from be
coming useless as a competitor of the
railroads for freight from Buffalo to
tidewater. As TilR BuiVlms previously
stated there Is now serious danger that
the great Erie canal will ultimately bo
abandoned if measures are not taken to
bring it up to the requirements of the
times. The boatmen have this year
tied up their boats in largo numbers be
cause they wore unable to iimko enough
to pay expenses , and the falling olT In
onnnl tnvlllc during the past two years
has been HO great that it continued at
the same rate for two or throe years
longer the railroads- would bo able to
practically control the business and fix
transportation charges from Buffalo to
Now York to suit thomsolxcs.
As an illustration of what the rail
roads would do in the event of the
abandonment of the canal it may bo
stated that when the canal opened in
the spring of 1891 the rates by rail engrain
grain from BulTnlo to Now York were
7 4-5 cents per bushel , while the canal
rates wore from " 3 to 3 cents per bushel.
Kill rato3 toll at once to moot the canal
rates , and the competition was contin
ued until the close of the season. The
day after the canals closed in the fall
th" rail rates were advanced to moro
than double what they bad-been through
the summer.
It is to bo hoped that the efforts now
being made to * create a public senti
ment in Now York that will demand
ample appropriations by the legislature
for the improvement of the canal will
receive the attention which they do-
servo. Deeper water and larger locks
are needed in order that bodts may
carry full cargoes , which they are now
unnblo to do. The movement will bo
watched with considornblo interest by
all who desire cheap transportation
rate1 * from west to east. Everv wostoiMi
bt.ito that sends its grain to market by
way 01 tno great laicos is vuany inter
ested in this question.

One hundred years ago today Franco
entered upon a period of revolution
which furnished ono of the most ro-
inurkablo and sanguinary chapters in
the political history of mankind. On
August 10 , 1792 , the insurrection committee -
mittoo informed the national assembly
that the populace would mirch to the
Tullories , where , Louis XVI. , nominally
king , lived with his family. The bastilo
had fallen and the fugitive monarch had
been made a virtual prisoner in his own
palace. The Tuilories fell nnd LouU
and his family were made prisoners in
the palace of Luxembourg. Franco was
in the hands of Dan ton and Marat and
their bloodthirsty followers ,
The reader of French history dwells
with peculiar fondness upon this period ,
whoso sanguinary horrors have a fasci
nation for which there is no parallel ,
Tlio characters who led this revolt
against monarchy have not had tholr
counterparts In any other land , and
Robespierre , Danton and Marat will
always remain the typos of rod-handed
revolutionists , ns well ns examples of
the fate of men who pursue their
methods. Yet with all their heartless
ferocity arid detestable bloodthirstiness
they performed u service to Franco nnd
to the world , for to their work is duo in
some measure the fact'that Franco is
republican today. Fearful as were the
events of the reign of terror , when the
passions of men were glutted to satiety ,
they were not without compensatory
results. They taught a lesson to mon-
archinl power in Europe which it has
never quite forgotten.
The centenary of the tricolor , the
emblem of the revolutionists , will bo
celebrated in Franco today and by
Frenchmen In other lands. The mem
ory of the men who struck a fatal blow
at monarchy 100 years ago will bo duly
honored by all the sons of Franco
who bollovo in republican institu
tions. Americans can largely sympa
thise with this celebration and will
heartily wish that the outgrowth of the
events of a century ago in Franco , so
far ns they have any relation to the ex
isting political conditions in that coun
try , wilUbo perpetuated.

Chicago has made commendable progress -
gross in suppprossing the smoke nuis
ance. Omaha must soon grapple with
the problem. The volumes of black
mnoho and soot poured out of the smokestacks
'
stacks of'mills , motor houses , hotels and
ollico buildings is becoming more un
bearable every day. Our best buildings
are beginning to look like the Plttsburg
factories before tlio discov.or.v of natural
gas. The wares In our retail stores are
being damaged and spoiled and the
clothing of pedestrians is exposed to the
showers of soot.
There is only one way that wo can ef
fectually suppress this intolerable nui
sance. Lot "tho council pass at : ordi
nance that will require the owners of
mills , factories and largo buildings to
provide smoke consumers of the most
approved pattern and require nil who do
not comply with this provision to burn
anthracite coal. Wo confidently believe
that such a regulation will bring about
the desired relief.

While the council and Board of Pub

quota of this summor's paving they may
as well Include Seventeenth dtroot from

tiony and would complete the Seven
teenth street pavement all the way
from Lea von worth street to Grace

vnnblb the city to pave Douglas from

tr/.sT/n.v / SUUAU
JCansai proposes now to follow the example -
ample of Nebraska and go into the boot
sugar refining blilsnoss. The manu
facture of rellnod sugar from "boots is no
longer an oxporlmunt In this state , ns
wo have two largo rollnorlos which turn
out. largo quantities of sugar equal in
quality to any in the market. While
Nebraska has the udVantugo of produc
ing boots containing a higher coolllclont
ui sugar man uioso prfjuucou in iniy
other state in the union , there is no
doubt that Kansas can raise plenty of
good beets and produce llrst-class sugar ,
The proposed factory is to bo estab
lished at Loavonworth. II. L. Earlo of
that city , who is one of the stockholders ,
says that the refinery will turn out
about 5,000,000 pounds of granulated
fuigur annually. "Instead of raising
wheat , ' ho says , "tlio farmers will
rnuko moro money by raising beets.
They will bo paid 81.50 per ton for boots
delivered at the factory. From fifteen
to twenty tons of boots can bo raised
per acre. Boot raising Is a great bourco
of wealth to any country. Wo shall
buy direct from the farmers and the
money will remain in the country. Cot
ton and cereals will not bo in it with
boots. "
The same conditions which make boot-
raising profitable In Nebraska will bo
found to prevail in Kansas. In this
state the Industry is growing and prom
ises to become one of great importance
to the farmers. Like Iho refineries in
this state , the ono to bo built in Leaven
worth will bo entirely Independent of
the sugar trusj , # nd will cotnpoto with
the latter in , the market , asuing no
favors and granting none. It should bo
a matter of pridoHo all interested in the
growth of now industries in thp west
that a business of such vast possibilities
as that of sugar refining is obtaining. ; ! ,
secure foothold ) ioro.
Mil. HUMMiii , Is still out of a city job.
Tno "snap" 'Which ' his friend Wohror

housps of .pmuha TIIK BIE'S friendly
advicS to him iajto look for otuor em
ployment. Thai city does not noon his
services. It is' , employing an entirely
competent uiau to look after school re
pairs , and there is not at prcssnt suill-
oiont work of this kind to occupy the
time of two men. The sooner that Mr.
Hummel realizes the situation the bet
tor it will bo for his personal welfare.
OMAHA should bo made as attractive
as possjblo during the visit of the
Masonic orders next week. It is not to
bo expected that we shall bo nblo to
rival the lavish decorations of Denver ,
but a display can be made that will at
test our appreciation of the visitors.
This is a good place to remark that our
business housos-gononilly do not show
the interest andjliborality in matters of
this kind which they ought to show.
There will bo an opportunity next week
for an improvement in this respect , and
it is to bo hoped that the business
houses will demonstrate that there is
onlicrhtoned taste and ingenuity hero in
the mutter of decorations.
Tins Board ofTrado needs a stimulant
of Bomo sort. The time of the regular
monthly mooting was Monday evening ,
but only a handful of members were
present and the business that should
have boon attended to had to go over to
the next regular mooting. This indlf-
fcronco on tlio part of the largo majority
of llii ? members of the board is destruct
ive of its usefulness nnd influence. The
general public connot bo oxpootod to
have much rospcct for an organization
whose members manifest BO llttlo regard
for its interests. A body of practical
business men ought to sot a bettor ox-
ample.
Tun fact that'eovoral" gambling

A Lincoln editor offers n largo reward to
the man who will show a samulo of what
Lancaster county KOI In the republican con
vention. It Is true that Lancaster hasn't ' n
rcprosontatlvo on thn state ticket , but it
should bo berne in mind that for four years
Lincoln hnd two state ofllcors and a supreme
judge , whllo for sovoral'othor yours she had
ono state and ono member nf the supreme
bench. Lancaster hns "no kick coming , "
It was reported nt Lincoln yesterday thn
J , U , Tnte , the republican nominee for lieutenant -
tenant governor , was not eligible to that
oflico for the reason ' .bat his final naturaliza
tion papers were not taken out until some
thing over a year ago. In case the report Is
vorlllcd It will bo necessary for the state
central committee to uamo a candidate to ill
the vacancy. Air. Tate Is au Englishman by
birth.
Democrats nro gathering in Omaha from
various sections of the state to attend the
mooting of the state central committee this
ovonlng. The rank and lllo are getting mix-
loux about tbo call for the stnto convention.
It u said that "if proper Inducements nro
bold out" the Independent state central
committee- will inuko Its headquarters at
Lincoln , otherwise it will go to some point
In tbo eastern or central part of the stato.
Nobody has ooon killed lu Iho rush of Lin
coln business men to put up thu Induce
ments.
.leromo Shamp , tbo Independent politician
who wants to run for congress In the First
district , tried to secure tbo endorsement of
the Lancaster countv conventionbut bo made
the mistake of delivering himself of a speech.
When ho declared himself ready to moot
"my two opponents which has already boon
nominated , " bis fate was scaled.
When Governor MuICInloy was addrpsslnir
bis Hastings audiunco the other daj he was
interrupted by a gentleman who Inquired :
"What Is tbo republican party doing tor
Homestead I" The
governor nv once re
sponded that protection nnd free trade hnd
nothing to do with strikes , us England with
her free trade has two strikes to our one. Ho
followed this up with convincing argument ,
and the gentleman who had propounded the
question acknowledged himself convinced.
As McKlnloy wus stepping aboard the curs
for Denver bovns aguin accosted by tbo
gentleman , who proved to bo the engineer of
the train , and won invited to make the trip
to McCook on tbo engine. The governor
accepted tbo Invitation , and clad in n pair of
overalls ho sat on a chunk of coal and listened
to a treatise on mechanics from tbo man
.vhoin bobnd , convinced that protection pro
tects.
Chndron will bo tbo scene of a very pretty
struggle tonight.Vbltehcad , Ktnkaid , Dor-
rlngton and Crimes will contest , before Iho
republican convention of tbp Sixth district ,
for the privilege of going into the congres
sional ring to knock out ICem.
Jeff Word is a Webster countv democrat
who wants to run for congress in the Fifth
district. Hn tbinlts bo could beat McKcig-
ban iu bis own home.
W. A. Povntor , mo independent candidate
for congress in the Third district , couldn't
pot along without an "organ , " so ho has pur
chased the Albion Calliope and placed bis
brother at tbo keyboard.
Two editors nro nftor the nomination for
state senator in the Klghth district , ICd A.
Fry of the Niobnira Pioneer nnd Atlee Hart
of the Dakota City Eagla. The indications
now nro for a bard struggle , but * no blood
Will be spilled , and the defeated candidate
will bo found backing the vlctnr in tba bat
tle with the common enemy.
