It is claymed that cerwain sections of our state are admirably adapted for sugar beet cul- ture, and the experiments so far have on the whole been satisfactory. But the cultivation of the sugar heet in Ne- braska is still in its experimental stage, and no definite conclusions can be drawn as 10 the ultimate sucecess of the project. If the beet sugar industry can be made profitable, it would add ma- terially to the resources of our state. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SDAY, FEBRUARY 206. 1830. HARRISON ATTHE NATIONAL CAP- 1TAL. The next president of the United States will reach Washington to-day and the remaining time until his ing uration will doubtless be busily pied in discussing with the party ers at the natio pital the polic he will enunciate §in his inaugual ad- dress, the men he has selected for his cabinet, and whatever other matters may be pertinent to the work of organ- izing his administration. It is undoubt- edly the desire of Harrison to enter upon his great task with a perfect understanding between himself and the republican leadc and his going to Washington a week in advance of his innuguration will give him ample time for an interchange of The in- augural address is doubtless completed, but it is not impossible that changes or modifications may be found desivable. At any rate it is a concession which the president-eloct may properly make to obtain the opinions of the re- publican leaders before proclaiming to the country what is to be the policy of his administeation. Tt due to them, and it could not fail to be of advantage to the new administration, General Harrison has indicated his purpose to keep his party harmonious and in unity, and he could not begin in any better way than by securing in advance of his indue- tion into office the opinions of the party leaders. He will thus establish an un- derstanding which, if faithfully ad- hered to by both sides, will contribu greatly to the success of hisadministra- tion. It is probablet also, that the cabinet has been selected, though as to t it is not unreasonable to suppose that the prosident-clect may desire to advise with the party leaders. It is assumed that three or four positions in the next cabinet have beendefinitely determined upon, but the others may be sub; change. If so, there will be a better opportunity to do this in Washington than there was in Ind y point of view Gene s done wisely in going to Washington in time to consult with the republican leaders, and it cannot be doubted that the result will be in every wey benefi- i The next president will enter upon his duties with & full understand- ing of the views of the men who are to be in congress the chief support of his administration, and the advantages this will be to both are obviou THE HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS. The squabbie over the bill now pend- ing before the legislature wherein the governor is directed to convey to the of Omaha, the title to Capitol square, now known as the high school square, 1s utterly groundless, There is no danger that the mayor and city council would ever sell or lease any part of the high school grounds, or attempt to interfere with its legitimate use and improvement by the school bhoard. Ifitis true that the general school law will prevent the board from constructing any buildings on ground which 1s not vested by deed in the school district, there is still no serious danger that any citizen would ever interfere with the improvement or re- construction of a building already erected and in use for school purposes. The.only ious obstruction which the bill as passed by the senate does offer, is to the cvection of any new buildings on the sume grounds. 1f a compromise is effected and the title to the grounds is vested in the ool district, there should be a clause prohibiting the use of the grounds and buildings thereon for any purpose excepting for a high school or normal training school, which sooner or later must be established in connee- tion with our public schools, — CONTINENTAL PROTECTION. The report of & majority of the house comuittee on foreign affairs, recom- mending the adoption of the Edmunds Panama canal resolution which passed the senate by a large majority. will v vive public interest in this proposed re-assertion of the principle ennuciated in the famous Monroe doctrine. The Edmunds resolution declares: “That the government of the United States will look with serious concern and dis- approval upon any connection of any Buropean government with the con- ction or control of any ship-cans across the isthmus of Darien or across Central Ame and must regard any such conneetion or control as injurious tothe just rights and intere, of the United States and as a menace to their welfare,” The matter has been under consideration by the house committe for some time, and the rvesult of the d. liberations as shown in the majority re- port, whicn will in all probubility be approved by the house, shows the gon- ceral disposition in congress to give the broadest possible application to the doctrine proclaimed by President Mon- roe sixty-five years ago. It has been held that this doc- trine had reference lusively to a condition of affairs existing at the time it was announced, that is, to the political control of the Spanish colonies of South Ameriea, to the political influ- ence and interference of the govern- ment of Burope and of the Holy Alli- ance, which was composad of several of the powers of ISurope. The British gov- ernment in 1828 proposed a joiut declar- ation of Great Britain and the United States to the effcet that the two govern- ments could not see with indifference the intervention of foreign power in Spanish America, or the transfer to these powers of any of the colonies. This suggestion grew outof the re tious then existing botween France and Spain, their attitude towards the South American republics then struggling for independence, aud the injuries to the colonies and commerce of Great Britain which would vesult from o successful prosecution of the policy of those two governmeuts. The proposal fov n joint deciaration was notadopted by President Monvoe;j but the position he took in his message to congress regavding the ex- tension of their political system to any portion of either continent served the purpose equally well, Although plainly direeted to vhe then oxisting condition of affairs, und vefor- ring solely to the exertion of politicul influence or the control of American governwents by ‘foreign powers, with Al ¢ views., very sts no application to commercial relations, | in the opinion of the house committee the Monroe doctrine has no limitations, was not confined to the conditions ex- isting at the time it was announced, and that the traditional policy of the government has been opposed to any project which would give Kuropean governments a new foothold in Amer- ica. If this view is approved by con- gress, as in all probability it will be, it will be anotification to the governments of Europe that hereafter not only will any attempt they may make to exert po- litical influence or control in the west- ern hemisphere be resented by the United States, but equally their identi- fication with any commercial enter priges of such magnitude as might ult mately subject any American gover ment to their influence or control. national policy so broad as this havdly fail to sooner or later involve the United States in a very serious con- troversy with Buropean powers, and it will render more urgent than ever a closer political alliance between the governments of the three Americas, 1f this country is to assume the great task of guarding the republics of this hemisphere against the cupidity and the political machinations of European powers, it must have such a thorough understanding with those republics that in any emergency it can count upon their fidelity and assistance. Itis by no meaus certain that this can be ac- complished. There is a political in- stability about some of these republics which forbids expectation that any form of alliance with them would be permanent or faithfully regarded. Pa- triotic sentiment may approve a policy of absolute Burope clusion, politic ally and commercially, from the w ern hemisphere, but sober reflection will suggest that the assumption of such a task by the United States involves bilities of the gravest character, and that its performance must depend upon the full and faithful acqu of every republic of the two continents. The effort to establish a closer alliance between the républics of the three A ericas thus becomes a matter of the highest importance, pos: cence THE MOTOR AND THE CAM EL, The motor overhead wires are being extended from block to block up Doug las street and presently we will sce them planted across Farnam at the very center of travel and traffic. Like the camel who got his head under the tent, then his hump, and finally his whole body. the motor anaconda is working its way inch by ineh until Omaha will have no thoroughfares left. With the motor lines strung within sixteen feet of the pavement there can be no more trade processions, no move circus parades, no grand political demonstration with its floats and human pyramids. The ire department hook and ladder is liable to meet with erious obstruction when quick e may be needed ina destructive conflagration that may involve a loss of scores of lives and miilions of doll It is all very well for the eapitalists who are interested in the motor scheme to pooh-pooh every objection, but the day is not distant when some of these men may be the most aggrieved sufferers by the persistent cffort to force upon Omaha a system of street railway that will answer well enough for connceting our suburbs, but is absolutely dangevous when planted on our busincss thor- oughfares. rs, THe veport of the directors of the mint on the production of the precious metals in the United States for the year 1888 indicates that the output of gold and silver has about held 1ts own as compared with the produet of the last few years. The total value of the gold product for 1888 was thirty-three mil- ions, a gain of but one hundred and sev enty thousand dollars over the value of the production of 1887. The commercial value of the silver mimed for the year just closed wmounted to forty-three millions. an excess of some three millions over the production of 1887, In round numbers the total value of the precious metuls mined in the United States for the year can be put down® at sevent, > millions, - pured with the value of the crop of uny one agricultural state, the value of the precious metals distributed states and territories cuts asmall fizure, The corn crop of lowa, for example, ¢ ceeds in value the entire output of the gold and silver mined 1 year in this country, Tue effort to make it appear that the factional differences among the repub- licans of New York, Ohio, and one or two other states are a very serious mat- ter, likely to menace the peace of the next administration. need cause repub- licans generally no apprehension.

We believe General Harrison will make no comprom with politicians who are willing to huzard ything in order to promote their 1fish aims, and the party will sustain him. The next administration will enter upon its carcer with the con- tidence of the republican party behind it,and it will have nothing to fear from disappointed and disgruntled politicians. — I'r 18 not probable that anything more will come of the Blackburn-Chandler difficulty, though it would give very general satisfaction if the Kentucky senator were toreceive from some friend of Chandler a thorough deubbing. However great the provocation—and doubtless the New Hampshire senator can be as irritating as any man in con- gress—the action of Blackburn was that of a bully, because he knew Chand- ler was physically unable to defend himsell.

It indi- cates how thoroughly disgusted the peo- of Rhode Island have become with their short experience with prohibition.
