4 Dismal Forecast efaie Future of Far

A Dismal Forecast oftie Future Of Far
saerS IA the Hes,
SALEM, RICHARDSON County, NED,
April I've had supposed that winter
was over and spring had come at last,
but yesterday and last night seem win
try, and considerable snow fell. This
must be rather rough on the thousands
of young grasshoppers that have hatch
ed in the last few days, for whenever
the sun shines warm on the hillsides
they hatch as only young grasshoppers
can. Many ofthen were full grown in
the egg ,ast fall when the cold weather
set in, and people hoped that the sever
ity of. the winter would make an end of
them, but it seems that they are doomed
TO disappointment.
The prospect Of crop is dshearten-
ing, and good deal of uneasiness is
felt; for if the ''hoppers'' 90 in, and de-
stroy the crops as they. did seven years
ago, there will be big emigration from
Nebraska next fall. There has been
some suffering in this county among the
people, but the live stock have really
been the greatest sufferers. But the
most pressing trouble with the farmers
is how to get seed for planting and SOW
ing. Wheat is the most plentiful and a
great deal has been sown, and the far
mers are still sowing The last two fail
ures of corn have deferred good many
from planting it; but the greatest DIM
Guilty will be in procuring seed. Money
is scarce, and il is doubtful whether
some farmers will be able to obtain seed

Nearly all say that tits as much as they

You will see from this that hard times
are on us, sure enough. have not heard
of anybody who has been unable TO OBJ

many who can get nothing else. A sad
prospect is before us for next year if
the crops are destroyed, as is threatened.

TIE lNJUNCTION.-Judge Ward has
granted mn injunction to prevent the re-
moval OF the seat of Government from
this place to Wheeling. This brings the
matter before the Courts for decision
on the constitutionality of the removal
law. The Governor, however. has pre-
pared an opinion in which he takes the
position that it not a matter for the
Courts to decide; that should the arch
ives be detained here by the Injunction
the Capitol would he at Wheeling under
the law; that the Injunction would or
feet nothing except to lock the wheels
Of Government until Il is decided and
he further claims that Circuit Judge
has no power under the law TO interfere
with the duties or acts Of the Governor
that he is nmenable TO the Legislature
for his official acts. and therefore cannot
be prevented from doing what he I'M.
derstands TO be his duty except by leg
islative authority.
The result Of the injunction will be a.
bout this When the ninety days OK.
pire after the adjournment Of the Legis.
!atufe, the Governor will bc prevented
from removing tho archives Of the State
but will be likely to 90 himself and ex-
ecute the laws from n Wheeling stand
point. Meantime the Courts may de-
eide the law unconstitutional then Of
course everything that might be done at
Wheeling as the State Capitol. would be
illegal, and the prosperity Of the State
might thereby he very much disturbed.
Under all the circumstances. IL seems
TO us best for the Governor to obey the
injunction, and let the Courts settle the
constitutionality Of tho law before the
expense Of removal to Wheeling is in.

it is entirely evident that If Congress

The clauses forbidding the States to
deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law. or
deny to any person the equal protection

prevent the arbitrary transfer of proper
