The Frepublican league clubs of the United Stnws are called upon to meet this evening to organize for the cam- paign. The call requests each club to invite all republieans in its ncighbor- hood to join in the membership of the marching club, and states that provis- ions are heing made to securs tasteful uniforms, which can be ordered by every y low prices. The call also ‘“T'he national league invokes tho insm and energy of all league clubs, and especially asks every club to stimulute the organization of clubs among colleges, high schools, mi- naries and nendemies, which clubs, with those of the first voters, should be made the moreuctive arms of the organization for the campaign,” The value of these organizitions 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 o number of republican league clubs, but they can be largely increased and an enor getic effort must be made to do so. There ought to be at least th ee times the number now organized and every club in existence sghould be able to materiaily increase ils membership. Twenty thousand republican voters should be envolled in these organi tions in this state, and the active work of that number of energetic men would be of incalculabe value. The league clubs have heen a potent force in past campaigns and can be made equally so in the present one. CLEVELAND AND THE SRANS. The record of Grover Cleveland’s hos- tility to the pension bills passed by con- gress during his administration affords a sufficient explanation of the feeling against im which exists among the union veterans. They naturally look with aisfavor and distrust upon a man who us president of the United States vetoed 524 pension bills and upon all possible occasions commented harshly, if not insultingly, upon what he was plensed to regard as the unreasonable demands of n horde of unprincipled alms-scekers, During his four years of service as chief executive of the nation Mr. Cleve- land became so intoxicated with power and 50 puffed up with vanity that he did not hesitate to set himsell up as the possessor of wisdom incomparably su- verior 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 lectured them in his veto mes snges as the pedagogue lectures bis flock. Previous to his administration, from Washington to Arthur, inclusive, only 109 veto messages had been sent to congress. It had not been customary for presidents to assume to be infinitoly wise. But it remained for the political accident from Evie county, almost wholly unacquainted with public life and having no claim to statesmanship, to show that he, at least, knew how to uso the veto power.. He overruled tho congressionul will five times as often in four years s his predecessors had done in 100 years. The circumstance that 524 of his 697 vetoes were aimed at tho veterans goes to show that the lack of patriotism which led him to hire a substitute rather than fight for his country is sull a 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 em- phatic veto upon Mr. Cleveland’s presi- dential aspirations, and relegate him to the obscurity which mediocre men of his narrow and selfish mold are sure to find when luck forsakes them. 10WA ORIGINALITY. It has been reserved for the demo- cratic county convention which assem- bled lust Saturday at Burlington, Ia., to perform an act of startiing originality. This convention of bourbons recom- mended that the district congressional convention at Fairfield pext Saturday pass the following resolution: Resolved, That the nominee of the demo- cratic party for congressman of tho First congressional district of Iowa, 1n the event of tho election of Grover Cleviland to tho presidoncy, 1s herevy reguestod and In- structed in the dispensation of federal officos in this district, to appoint 1o person to offico who within the four years last past has op- posed the eloction of eny nomineo of any city, county or state democratic convention held within the four years last past. Resolved, That the secretary of this con- vention place a copy of these resolutions in the hauds of Hon. J. J. Seerley. It 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 u political convention. The action was original, not to say unique. .[tis a no- tice to Candidate Searloy to hono: only the party thugs. The real secret of the resolution is that it was sprung by cer- tain democratic hotel-saloon owner of Burlington who aspived 4o the mayor- alty lust spring, was nominatod, but de- feated by unother democrat supported by republicans and decent democrats, the latter class being Seerley’s particu- lar friends, who brought him out and scoured his nomination. Now the party whip is luid upon Seerley und he iy commanded to cast off his friends or be knifed. Now if Seerley was a strong man of enorgy and independencoe, he would as- sert himsell and defy the gang. Buthe is not that sort. He is a pleasant, good fellow, a fair type of the. mediocrities which occupy seats in this congress, He is one of those peculiar objects which rvise to the surface after an ex- plosion and the duped people who were humbugged into voting down the Me- Kinley law bave haa 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 old friends and his ‘“‘tough” allies. When it is eonsiderad that he is op- posad by Governor John H. Gear, a man of national roputation, his case is in- deod pitiable. But tho schome, is it not dclightfully frank and astonishingly bold? OMAHA IMPORTANT TO WESTERN SHIPPERS. A movement is now on foot in the state of New York that is destined, if successful, to produce resuits 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 been formod to secure for tho great artificial watorway across the em- pire state such appropriations by the legislature as will prevent it from bo- coming useless us a competitor of the railroads for freight from Buffalo to tidewater. As Trg BEE has previously stated thero is now serious dangor that the great Erie canal will ultimately be abandoned if mensures are not taken to bring it up to the requirements of the times. The boatmen have this yoear tied up their boats in lnrge numbers be- cause they were unable to make enough to pay expenses, and the falling off in canal traflic during the past two years has been so great that it continued at the same rato for two or three yoars longer the railroads: would be able to practically control the business and fix transportation charges from Buffalo to New York to suit thomselxes. As an illustration of what the rail- roads would do in the eveat 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 74-5 conts per bushel, while the canal rates wero from 2§ to 8 cents por bushel. IR il 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 canuls closed in the fall the L rates were advaaced to more than double what they had been through the summer, It is to he hoped that the efforts now being mude to create a public senti- ment in New York that will demand ample appropriations by the legisiature for the improvement of the canal will receive the attention which they de- serve. Decper wator and larger locks are needed in order that boats may carry full cavgoes, which they ure now unable to do. The movement will be watched with considerable interest by all who desire cheup transportation rates from west to east, Iverv westenn state that sends its grain to market by way of the great lakesis viwlly inter- ested in this question. CENTENARY OF THE TRICOLOR. One hundred years ago today Franco entered upon u period of revolution which furnished one of the most re- murkable and sanguinary chapters in the political history of mankind. On August 10, 1792, the insurrection com- mittee informed the national assembly that the populuce would mirch to the Tuileries, wherg Louis XVI., nominally king, lived with his family. The bastile had fallen and the fugitive monarch had been made a virtual prisoner in his own palace. The Tuileries fell and Louis and his family were made prisoners in the palace of Luxembourg. Irance was in the hands of Danton and Marat and their bloodthirsty followers, The reader of French history dwells with peculiar fondness upon this period, whose sanguinary hor-ors 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 Robespierrs, Danton and Marat will always remain the types of red-handea revolutionists, as well as examples of the fate of men who pursue their methods. Yeu with all their heartless ferocity and detestable bloodthirstiness they porformed u 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 satioty, they were not without compensatory cSults. They taughta lesson to mon- archial power in Furope which it has never quite forgotton. The centenary of the tricolor, the emblem of the revolutionists, will be celebrated in France today and Dby Frenchmen in other lands. The mem- ovy of the men who struck a fatal blow at monarehy 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 a century ago in France, so far as they have any relation to the ex- isting political conditions in that coun- try, willbe perpetuated. THE SMOKE NUISANCE. Chicago has made commendable pro- gress in supppressing the smoke puis- ance. Omaha must soon grapple with the problem. The volumes of black smoke and soot poured out of the smoke- stacks of mills, motor houses, hotels and office buildings is becoming more un- bearuble every day. Our best buildings are beginning to look like the Pittsburg factories before the discovery of natural gus. The wares in our retail stores are being damaged and spoiled and the clothing of pedestrians 1s exposed to the showers of soot. 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 lavge 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 velief, e e— SHOULD BE DONE THIS SEASON. While the council and Board of Pub- lic Works are proparing to complete the quota of this summer’s paving they may as well include Seventeenth atreet from Farnam to Dodge. That will only re- quire one streot und two alley intersec- tions and would complete the Seven- teenth street pavement all the way from Leavenworth street to Grace street. The paving of Seventeenth DAILY BEE; WEDNESDAY streot from Farnam to Dodge would also, enable the city to pave Dpvglas from Sixteentn to hteenth without taking adollar out of She paving fund. Aml if the paving funtl would hold out for the teenth streets, Pouglas street could be w8 vy up to Twentieth strest to connect with the pavement west. If Dapglas worg paved west of Eighteeenth § the pavement on Eigh teenth west Jof the city hall could be laid with buf-one alley intersection to draw on the paving fund. These strips once paved we will have absolute relief from the mud that isnow drained from the hillsides upon the paved streets below during every heavy rainstorm. Tn fact, a heavy rain would act as o great street-cloaner instead of deluging paving and crossings with mire in the very heart of the retail district. ——— WESTERN SUGAR REFINERIES, Kansas proposes now to follow the ex~ ample of Nobraska and go into the beet sugar refining bulsness, The manu- facturo of refined sugar from beots is no longer an exporiment in this state, as we huve two large refineries which turn out. large quantities of sugar equal in quality to any in the market. While Nobraska has the advattage of produc- ing beets contiining a higher cosfficient of sugar than those produced in any other state in the union, there is no doubt that Kunsas can raise plenty of good beets and produce first-class sugar, ‘The proposed factory is to be ostab- lished at Leavenworth. H. L. Earle of that city, who 1s one of the stockholdors, suys that the refinery will turn out ubout 5,000,000 pounds of granulated sugar avnually, “Instead of raising wheat,” he suys, ‘‘the farmers will make more money by raising beets. They will be paid $4.50 per ton for beets delivered at the factory. From fifteen to twenty tons of baets 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 bents.” 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 importanco to the farmers. Like the refineries in this stute, the one to be built in Leaven- worth will be entirely independent of the sugar trusp and will compete with the latter in, the market, asking no favors and granting none. It should bo a matter of pride to all interested in the growth of new industries in the west that a business of such vast possibilities as that of sugar rofining is obtaining a secure foothold here.

It is not to be expected that we shall be able 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 placo to remark that our busitess houses generally do not show the intorest and;liberality in matters of this kind which they ought to show. There will be an opportunity next week for an improveraent in this respect, and it is to be hoped that the business houses will demonstrate that there is enlightened taste and ingenuity here in the matter of decorations, THE Board of Trade needs a stimulant of some sort. The time of the regular monthly meeting was Monday evening, but only a handful of members were present and the business that should have been attended to had to go over to the next regular meeting. This indif- ference on the partof the large majority of the members of the board is destruct- ive 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 a better ex- ample, THE fact that geveral gambling houses are run openly in South Omaha is discreaitable to the authorities of that city.

This is a condition of affairs which ought to com- mand the serious attention of the better class of South_Omaha’s citizens.
