Cheering Crop Prospects in Nebraska.
OMAHA. May 24.--lteports from all parts
of our State show that Nebraska will this
year fully redeem herself from the effects of
last years disaster Tho increase of acreage
over last year is so per cent. A much larger
proportion of corn has been planted, and. a
still larger one of flax, which last year
proved unpalatable to the hoppers. There
has been scarcity of seed in all the grass
hopper portion OF the State this spring.
Many farmers depend entirely on the Relief
and Aid Society for seeds; many could not
afford to pay the prices asked; but for this
scarcity much greater acreage would have
been planted. Rains have been quite fire.
quent In Platte valley This, in connection
with the backwardness of spring, has no
doubt operated against the immigration of
grasshoppers to this State from the South.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Being desirous of giving every encouragement to persons fsSoring with local news make the fol- lowing propositions to regular and occasional pondents:
 L-To each regular correspondent sending items each week, we will send five copies of the Enquirer regularly addressed either to the correspondent such persons he nay direct not already subscribers. We viii also pay all postage on communications either by sending stamped envelopes or cards in advance or by quarterly remittanees if preferred.
 S-TO each regular correspondent sending items as often ss once in two weeks we will send three copies of the Enquirer and postage, as above.
 3-To each regular correspondent sending items as oftsn fin four weeks will send regular copy Of the Enquirer and postage as above.
 4.-ReguIar correspondents sending items less fre- gueufly than 6 month will receive copy of the Enquirer. subject to stoppage whenever may con- sider their accommodations too few too little p0rtance, to warrant it's continuance.
 s.-To regular and occasional correspondents extra copies of the paper containing communications of spe- eial importance, will be sent on request, without charge.
 Local items from reliable sources any part of the county will be received with pleasure, but par ticuarly desrous of increasing list of regular weekly and fortnighty correspondents, especially in places like New Milford Kent, Cornwall, Falls Village, woleOttvIle Harwinton and other localities not ade- quatey represented in columns; and hope also to hear from persons furnishing only occasional letters
 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publi- cation.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of a personal nature will not be published unless the propriety of such publication is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of hay the contributions others attributed to them by assnming some signature, single letter being sufi cfenf.
 In case of two communications relating to the event, the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss, even from places where we have regular correspondents since they often give valuable additional information.
 simple statement of facts is all that is necessary, and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

The State Convention.

We give on our first page a condensed report of the proceedings of our State Convention of last week The ticket mo- minated, though not as strong, perhaps, as the Republican party has been usually in the habit of presenting. gives general satisfaction. MT. Greene, the nominee for governor, is an extremely popular man in his own locality, although not widely known throughout the State Col. Fenn, of Plymouth, the nominee for. Secretary of State, is an excellent choice. In the war he showed splendid energy and pluck, and he exhibits the same qualities in the profession in which he is fast rising.
 The platform is not so able and candid as that of last year. It makes too much of its endorsement of the Administration, and too little of its demand of justice for Louisiana at the hands of Congress. Can dor is by no means the usual characteris- tic of party conventions so that we ought not to expect too much in this instance. Still, Congress needs the spur of an earn est public opinion so evidently that we re- gret exceedingly that our Convention had not applied it more vigorously. The reso- lutions favoring resumption are frank and timely, and come squarely up to the re- quirements of the times.
 In choosing Mr. H. Lynde Harrison, of Guiiford, for chairman of the State Gen. tral Committee that body have secured the services of one of the shrewdest and adroitest political managers in the State.
 We have no means of judging of the prospects of the coming election. The effect of last falls disasters, and Congress s;Onal inaction in Louisiana matters, if continued, will be strongly against us. On the other hand the Democratic legis- Iature of last years election signally fail cd to come up to expectations. It went ''back of the deluge" for an United States Senator. It failed to accomplish any of the reforms Democracy has been so long promising. It only distinguished itself by diligent showing out of Republicans and a diligent showing in of Democrats, wherever any office admitted of such substitution. If they win again, it will certainly be on no merit they have yet shown.
