THE SMOKE NUISANCE

Chicago has made commendable pro-
gress in supppressing the smoke nuis-
ance. Omaha must soon grapple with
the problem. The volumes of black
smoke and SCOT poured out of the smoke
stacks of mills. motor houses, hotels and
Office buildings Is becoming more un-
bearable every day. Our best buildings
are beginning to look like the Pittsburg
factories before the discovery 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 SCOT.
There is only one way that we can ef-
fectually suppress this intolerable nui-
sance. Let the council pass an ordi-
nance that will require the owners OF
mills, factories and large buildings to
provide smoke consumers OF the most
approved pattern and require all who do
not comply with this provision to burn
anthracite coal. We confidently believe
that such a regulation will bring about
the desired relief

CLETELAND AND THE VETERANS.


The record of Grover Clevcland's hos.
tility to the pension bills passed by con-
gress during his administration affords
a sufficient explanation of the feeling
against HIM which exists among the
union veterans. They naturally look
with uisfavor and t,istrust upon man
who as president of the United States
vetoed 524 pension bills and upon al
possible occasions commented harshly.
ii not insultingly, upon what he was
pleased to regard as the unreasonable
demands of II horde of unprincipled
alms-seekers.
During his four years of service as
chief executive of the nation Mr.. Cleve-
land became so intoxicated with power
and so puffed up with vanity that he did
not hesitate to set himself up as the
possessor of wisdom incomparably su-
Derior to that of congress. He looked
down upon senators and representatives
as an inflated aud self-sullicient peda-
gogue might look down upon his pupils,
and he lcctured them IN his veto mes
sages as the pedagogue lectures his
flock. Previous to his administration,
from Washington to Arthur, inclusive,
only 100 veto messages had been sent to
congress. 1t had not been customary
for presidents to assume to be infinitely
wise. But it remained for the political
accident from Erie county, almost
wholly unacquainted with public life
and having no claim to craftsmanship,
to show that he, at least, knew how to
use the veto power. He overruled the
congressional will five times rs often in
four years as his predecessors had done
in 100 years.
The circumstance that 524 of his 697
vetoes were aimed at the veterans goes
to show that the lack of patriotism
which led him to hire substitute
rather than fight for his country is still
characteristic of the man, and that
having refused to expose himself to the
perils of war he looks with contempt
upon those who were loyal enough to go
to the front in defense Of the flag they
loved
The union veterans will not soon
forget the treatment 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 en-
phatic veto upon Mr.. Cleveland's presl-
DENTAL aspirations, and relegate him to
the obscurity which mediocre men of
his narrow and selfish mold are sure to
find when luck forsakes them.

street from Farnam to Dodge would also
enable the city to pave Douglas from
Sixteenth to Eighteenth without taking
q dollar out of the paving fund. And
ii the paving fun would hold out for the
intersections of Eighteenth and Nine
tecnth streets, Douglas street could be
paved all the' way up to Twentieth
street to connect with the pavement
west. II Douglas were paved west OF
Eighteenth the pavement on Eigh-
teentb west eof the city hall could be
laid with but-one alley intersection to
draw on the paving fund.
These strips once paved we will have
absolute relief from the mud that is now
drained from the hillsides upon the
paved streets below during every heavy
rainstorm. In fact, heavy rain would
act as great street-cleaner instead OF
deluging paving and crossings with mire
in the very heart of the retail district.

RBpUBLlCAN LEAeUg CLUES.

The republican league clubs Of the
United States are called upon TO meet
this evening to organize for the cam
paign The call requests each club to
invite all republicans in its ncighbor-
hood to Join in the membership Of the
marching club, and states that provis.
ions are being made to secure tasteful
uniforms, which can be ordered by every
club at very low prices. The call also
says: THE national league invokes the
enthusiasm and energy of all league
clubs, and especially asks every club TO
stimulate the organization OF clubs
among colleges, high schools, semi
narics and academies, which clubs, with
those of the first voters, should be made
the moreacuve arms of the organization
for the campaign"
Tho value OF these organizations in
political work has been fully demon
strated, so that no argument can be
needed to impress upon republicans the
Importance of maintaining and strength
ening them. Nebraska has a number
OF republican league clubs, but they
can be largely increased and an ener-'
getlc effort must be made to do So
There ought to be at least tn ee times
the number now organized aud every
club in existence should be able to
materially increase its membership.
Twenty Thousand republican voters
should be enrolled in these organiza-
tions in this state, and the active work
OF that number of energetic men would
be of incalculabe value. The league
clubs have been potent force in past
campaigns ana can be made equally so
in the present one.

IOWA ORIGINALITY.

| 1t has been reserved for the demo-
cratic county convention which assem-
bled last Saturday at Burlington, Ia, to
perform an act of startling originality
This convention of bourbons recon-
mended that the district congressional
convention at Fairfield next Saturday
pass the following resolution:
Resolved, That the nominee of the demo-
cratic party for congressman of tho First
congressional district of Iowa, ID the event
OF tho election of Grover Cleveland to tho
presidency, Is hereby requested and In
structed in the dispensation of federal offices
in this district, to appoint no person to office
who within the four years last past has op-
posed the election of any nominee OF any
city, county or state democratic convention
held within the four years last past.
Resolved. That the secretary OF this con-
vention place copy of these resolutions In
the hands OF Hon. j. j. Seerley.
1t will not be presumed that such
deals are not Of usual occurrence be-
tween the candidate and his party, but
in the history of politics we believe this
is the first time such a thing was
openly and unblushingly passed by IL
political convention. The action was
original, not to say unique. 1t is no.
tice to Candidate Sesrley to honor only
the party thugs The real secret of the
resolution is that it was sprung by a cer-
tain democratic hotel-saloon owner of
burlington who aspired to the mayor
atty last spring, was nominated, but de-
feated by another democrat supported
by republicans and decent democrats.
the latter class being Seerley's particu-
lar friends, who brought him out and
secured his nomination. Now the party
waip is laid upon Seerley and he is
commanded tn cast off his friends or be
knitted.
Now If Seerley was strong man OF
energy and independence, he would as
sert himself and defy the gang But he
is not that sort He is pleasant, good
fellow, fair type Of the mediocrities
which occupy seats in this congress.
He is one of those peculiar objects
which rise TO the surface after an ex.
plosion anu the duped people who we're
humbugged into voting down the Nc.
kinley law have had enough of that
sort, OF course he will not object TO
this load which he is to carry, this open
bribe which no honest man will accept,
but will go on TO defeat, despised by his

The republican party Is the friend or labor

We deplore the occurrence OF any conflict
between labor and capital. Wedenounce the
agitation of demagogues designed to foment

We are in favor Of the postal telegraph

Trusts and combinations to control aud I'M

WEsTERy SUGAR RErIyERrEs

| Kansas proposes now to follow the ex,
ample OF Nebraska and go into the beet
| sugar refining business. The manu-
| facturo of refined sugar from beets is no
longer an experiment in this state, as
we have two large reiineries which turn
out large quantities of sugar equal in
| quality to any in the market. While
Nebraska has the advantage OF produc-
Ing oeets containing higher coefficient
OF sugar than those produced in any
other state In the union, there is no
doubt that Kansas can raise plenty of
good beets and produce first-class sugar.
The proposed factory is to be estab-
lished at Leapenworth. III. l.. Earle of
that city, who Is one of the stockholders,
says that the refinery will turn out
about 5,OOO,OOO pounds of granulated
sugar Annually. Instead of raising
wheat" he says, "the farmers will
make more money by raising beets.
They will be paid 81 50 per ton for beets
delivered at the factory. From fifteen
to twenty tons of beets can be raised
per acre. Beet raising is a great source
OF wealth to any country. We shall
buy direct from the farmers and the
money will remain in the country. Cot
ton and cereals will not be in it with
beets."
The same conditions which make beet
raising profitable in Nebraska will be
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 the refineries in
this state, the one to be built in Leaven-
worth will be entirely Independent of
the sugar trust and will compete with
the latter in, the market, asking no
favors and granting none. 1t should be
matter of pride to all interested in the
growth of new industries in the west
that business of such vast possibilities
as that of sugar refining is obtaininga a
secure foothold here.

CENTENARY or THE 7RIcoLoR.

Ono hundred years ago today France
entered upon period of revolution
which furnished one of the most re-
markable and sanguinary chapters in
the political history Of mankind. On
August 10, 1892, the insurrection com
mittee informed the national assembly
that the populace would m irch to the
Tuileries, where Louis XVI, nominally
king, lived with his family. The bastile
had fallen and the fugitive monarch had
been made virtual prisoner in his own
palace. The Tuileries fell and Louis
and his family were made prisoners in
the palace of Luxembourg. France was
in the hands of Danton ana Marat and
their bloodthirsty followers.
The reader of French history dwells
with peculiar foniness upon this period,
whose sanguinary horrors have a fasci-
nation for which there is no parallel.
The characters who led this revolt
against monarchy have not had their
counterparts in any other land, and
RobesDierrs, Danton and Marat will
always remain the types OF red-haudeu
revolutionists, rs we'll as examples of
the fate of mon who pursue their
methods Yet with all their heartless
ferocity and detestable bloodthirstiness
they performed IL service to France and
to the world, for to their work is due in
some measure the fact that France is
republican today Fearful as were the
events of the reign of terror, when the
passions of men were glutted to safety,
they were not without compensatory
results. They taught n lesson to mon
archial power in Europe which it has
never quite forgotten.
The centenary of tho tricolor, the
emblem of the revolutionists, will be
celebrated in France today and by
Frenchmen in other lands. The mem
ory of the men who struck fatal blow
at monarchy 100 years ago will be duly
honored by all the sons of France
who believe in republican institu-
tions. Americans can largely sympa-
thise with this celebration and will
heartily wish that the outgrowth of the
events OF century ago in France, so
far rs they have any relation to the ex-
listing political conditions in that coun-
try, WILDE perpetuated.

| IMPORTANT TO WESTERN SHIPPERS.
A movement Is now on foot in the
state OF New York that is destined, il
successful, to produce results of consid,
cradle Importance TO the west. An
organization composed of business men
throughout the state, called the Union
Tor the Improvement Of the Canals, has
lately been formed to secure for tho
great artificial waterway across the en-
pire state such appropriations by the
Legislature as will prevent 1t from be-
coming useless as a competitor OF tho
railroads for freight from Buffalo to
tidewater. AS THE BEE has previously
stated there is now serious danger that
the great Erie canal will ultimately be
abandoned IL measures are not taken to
bring it up 10 the requirements of the
times. The boatmen have this year
tied up their boats in large numbers be-
cause they were unable to make enough
to pay expenses, and the falling off in
canal traffic during the past two years
has been so great that ii continued at
the same rate for two or three years
longer the railroads would be able to
practically control the business and fix
transportation charges from Buffalo to
New York to suit themselves.
AS an illustration of what tho rail
roads would do in the event of the
abandonment of the canal it may be
stated that when the canal opened in
the spring of 1891 the rates by rail on
grain from Buffalo to New York were
40 cents per bushel, while the canal
rates were from q to 3 cents per bushel.
IL Ill rates tell at once to meet the canal
rates, and the competition was contin-
ued until the close of the season. The
day after the canals closed in the fall
the rail rates were advahced to moro
than double what they had been through
the summer
1t is to be hoped that the efforts now
being made to create public senti
ment in New York that will demand
ample appropriations by the legislature
for the improvement of the canal will
receive the attention which they de-
serve. Deeper water and larger locks
are needed in order that boats may
carry full cargoes, which they are now
unable to do. The movement will be
watched with considerable interest by
all who desire cheap transportation
rates from west TO east. Every western
state that sends its grain to market by
way of the great lakes is vitality inter-
ested in this question.

THE Board OF Trade needs a stimulant
of some sort. The time of the regular
monthly meeting was Monday evening,
but only handful OF members we're
present and the business that should
have been attended to had to go over to
the next regular meeting. This indif-
ference on the part of the large majority
of the members of the board is destruct-
i've of its usefulness and influence. The
general public connot be expected to
have much respect for an organization
whose members manifest so little regard
for its interests. A body of practical
business men ought to set better ex-
annie
