fish capitalists have a very thorough
appreciation OF the great possibilities OF
this country.
Perhaps the most serious danger
which this foreign capital may encoun-
ter is adverse legislation, which has al
ready been directed against it to a
limited degree by national and state
laws. There is unquestionably q strong
sentiment against encouraging its in
vestment here, aud it is not impossible
that this feeling may in time become so
extended as to result in general legis-
lation designed TO exclude this capital.
But nothing OF this sort ,s Immediately
threatened, and those who desire the
steady and vigorous promotion Of ma
tional development will be slow to ac-
q%uiesce in a policy which would almost
certainly have the effect to retard it.

The Ayres & Wardman letter was not writ
ten for publication, but no one regrets that
il reached TIL BEE Office, inasmuch as il at.
forded that excellent paper-the only news
paper published in Omaha-opportunity for
again manifesting a friendship for aud I'M
derstauding of the Hills, our people, condi-
tons and resources, extending back to the
pioneer days of rs.
The people Of Deadwood and Lead do, in
deed, consider the source from which pro-
ceeded "the vaporings Of journalistic kids"
who, we have every reason to know, are de-
void of principle and honor; and also know
that The BEE and not the aondescript World
Herald or its correspondent so accustomed
to playing with himself that he fancies that
he can play with every fellow man, voices
the popular sentiment of the business men of
Omaha. If the Nye-Hitchcock crowd can
stand it the people of the Hills certainly can,
but the manufacturers. merchants and job
bers of Omaha should promptly recognize
not only their duty to themselves, but their
obligations to a large community whose
friendship and trade are courted.

An Omaha Tourist.

NNNN' N'h'N
1t was most certainly q manifestation Of
weakness bordering on dotage to pick up a
brainless youth (who has made so many
failures and squandered 80 many of his
daddy's dollars in newspaper ventures) and
send him to a mining camp to write it up.
The reason for his intense hatred of Dead.
wood leaked out yesterday and is this:
He was accompanied by ladies, and as was
natural desired to impress his companions
that he had travelled and was ''blooded," SO
to speak. AT the hotel they ordered din
ners that would cost a dollar and q half each
in any city in the United States, and yet
they made a vigorous kick at the charge OF 81
each. He declared with much feeling that
II can get a meal cheaper than that in a
four or five story brick. You have no right
to charge that much for a meal in q frame
building" Then he sailed forth in quest of
a shave. At the barber shop he refused to
pay the regular price of Is cents, and Sin
lieu Thereof, threw down 10 cents and
waltzed off on his metaphorical ear.
This and this alone is the only reason
under heaven why this precious bautling
should cherish i'll feelings for Deadwood or
Lead. Come again next summer when the
weather is hot and you'll find it cool enough
for comfort,

INFLUX OF FOREIGN CAPITAL

S1ii <lHs
1t is estimated that the investments
of British capital in the United States
during the present year amount 10 at
least one hundred millions of dollars.
Some German capital has also found in
vestment in this country, though the
amount is comparatively small. The
greater part of this money has been
paid in cash or in obligations
which have been turned into
cash abroad, SO hat it consti-
tutes an important addition to
the wealth of the country. The amount
of English capital invested here this
year is greater than in any previous
year, and it is interesting to note in
evidence OF the vast surplus wealth OF
England that the aggregate actual in
vestments OF British capital in new en-
terprises, in 1889, amount to not less
than seven hundred and fifty million
dollars. This vast sum, remarks a
writer In the New York Sun,
represents, for the most part, not
reinvestmen.s, nor the total an
nual gains of the British people,,
Oub III thO oNCCoo VI bhOSC RdluS re-
naming above the expenditures upon
necessities and upon pleasures. 1t is
the product, too, not of gambling nor of
stock-jobbing, but Of skill and honest
hard work. 1t is dug out of the ground
in the shape of coal, iron, tin, copper
and other minerals; 1t is spun out of our
raw cotton, Italian and French silk,
and tho ,xtnrl ~ posn,,
large proportion Of it is earned in the
carrying trade.
The interesting question for
Americans is whether this great
influx Of British capital is
likely to be maintained. Shall we
continue to get o~ne-seventh or more Of
the annual investments made from the
surplus wealth of hat country in for
eign enterprises? Evidently the OPP
portunities for the profitable home in
vestment of British capital are about
exhausted. Only upon this assumption
can Its large outflow into foreign invest
ments be satisfactorily explained. II
this be SO there is every reason why the
United States shall continue TO be a
field for the investment OF British
capital on as great a scale as heretofore,
and possibly greater. OF course much
will depend upon whether the incomes
expected from investments already
made ssbell be realized, but in any
eyentOttish capital is very certain to
continue to seek employment here in
very large amounts. The channels Of
investment it has already entered do

SUGAR BEET PROFITS.

The question of sugar beet culture is
attracting widespread attention. With
in the past few year. experiments have
demonstrated that the industry can be
made as successful in this country as
in France. The per cent OF sugar OBJ
tanned from samples raised in this coun-
try exceed the French product, prov
ing that the soil, especially in the west,
is peculiarly adapted for that purpose.
Under the Inspiration of Claus
opreckels, the farmers OF California
will make the sugar beet one
OF the leading rop this
year. After building his factory last
year, Spreckels offered two prizes, ag-
gregatiug seven hundred and fifty dol
lars, for Ave and ten acre tracts OF
beets producing the largest amount OF
sugar per acre. The competition re-
suited in the production Of beets which
yielded as high us eighty-four hundred
and seventeen pounds Of sugar to the
acre. These figures were never reached
by either Germany or France.
The farmers and capitalists of
Nebraska are thoroughly alive
to the Importance of sugar
beet culture. The interest is
manifested in the number of inquiries
received and the discussions in the
press, and the further fact that the low
price obtained for corr this year oper-
ates as an incentive to diversified and
more profitable crops. An analysis OF
the sugar beets raised In Hall county
showed sixteen per cent of sugar, dem
onstrating that the rich, sandy loan of
Nebraska is as prolific for root crops as
for corn.
The organization of a company to
build and operate a sugar factory
in Grand Island promises an early
practical test OF the value of this
industry, The state bounty Of one cent
q pound for all the product showing
ninty per cen of crystalized sugar Is
an lnducement which will multiply fac
tories in the state, if the first proves q
success, of which there is no reasonable
doubt. Experts estimate that a factory
consuming thirty thousand tons OF beets
annually will net a profit Of twenty-five
per cent on the investment. To farmers
the industry is equally profitable. From
fifteen to twenty tons Of beets can be
raised to the acre, which. at four dol
lars a ton, delivered, will net a sum
greater than is now realized from the
leading crops.

THE indications are that notwith-
standing the protests OF some Ohio dem
ocrats against sending another million
aire Of that party to represent the state
in the United States senate, Mr..
Payne's successor will be one of that
class. AS the situation now appears,
Colonel Calvin S. Brice, the RAINBOW
chaser" is in the lead OF h half dozen
aspirapts, with a very good chance of
winning the prize. Mr.. Brice is several
times a millionaire, and the greater
part of his fortune was made In
railroad operations. He is now identi-
fed with several railroads, and there
fore is presumably in hearty sympathy
with the corporations. Mr.. Brice did
not make a brilliant record as a politi-
cal manager in the last presidential
campaign, but he has shown ability in
practical affairs, and would undoubtedly
make a more useful member of the ma
tional senate than Henry B. Payne,
who has done nothing of which the
world has any knowledge except to con-
~sistently vote with his party. There
are ADLER democrats in Ohio, however,
than Mr.. Brice, though perhaps none
richer than he, and his money and COR
poratlon backing will doubtless carry
HIM through.

THERE is no room for dispute on the
question Of increasing the bond of the
city treasurer. The charter requires
that the bond of the treasurer shall not
be less than two hundred thousand dol
lars. AS custodian of school funds he is
required to give a similar amount.
Both bonds are insufficient. According
to the report Of the city comptroller for
the past eleven months, the city treas
urer has now q balance of two hundred
and forty thousand dollars, and this
sun does not include the city hall fund.
estimated at s~eventy-five thousand dol
lars, besides balances in the various
paving and sewer funds. The receipts
from saloon licenses next month
will exceed two hundred thousand dol
lars. The two bonds are entirely dis
tinct. They apply to separate depart
ments of city finances. 1t will be seen
therefore that both the city and school
board are inadequately protected.
There is scarcely a period of the year
that the city funds in the hands OF the
treasurer do not exceed the amount of
his bond. The charter empowers the
council to increase the bond to double
the amount of the funds on hand at any
time, and that power should be eXer-
cised,

Due Respec, for Experiences.

The Omaha Republican has decided to
abandon its evening edition and issue only a
morning paper. One of the reasons given is
that in Hooking over the field of journalism
IN the United States, we find that none Of the
great leading dailies are published morning
and evening, and feeling due respect for the
experience of the century, we shall follow
the example of older journalists in this re-
gard" Now, that's quite an idea. If one of
the great leading dailies'' could be found
that was only published once a week, what q
bright and shining example it would afford
the Republican. Then, too, with all its "re-
spect for the experience of the century," it

SO amusing that he takes the opportunity
when he may hide his face and roar with
