The Cold Snap.

The West Virginia director of
the U. S. Weather Bureau tells
US that he has received reports
from all parts OF the State and
all his correspondents are of the
same opinion about the effect of
the past weeks weather on the
crops. In many localities along
the river bottoms, the frosts by
heavy fogs, and not so much
damage was done. AS a general
thing, but little damage was done
to the wheat crop. Corn on hill
sides was badly injured in many
places, and some correspondents
say the ground is being harrow
ed over for new paintings.
Damage from cut-worms has
increased greatly during the
cold weather.
The oats crop is reported as
almost failure in many sections.
Grass and young clover has suf-
fered from the cold, the young
clover especially.
Fruit trees seem to have been
injured very badly in some sec
tions, correspondents saying that
the fruit. especially apples. is
dropping from the tree. Where
protected by fog, the out look is
for an abundant fruit crop, if no
further injury occurs.
Gardens seem to have suffered
most of all and in addition are
suffering to considerable extent
from cut worms.

Slaughtered BY The Supreme
Court.

NE<D lGn|I/ Slou Slice tiie
nm beginning Q {
the first regular session of the
Fifty third Congress, is a thing
of the past. After being twice
heard in the United States SUI
preme court. it was finally decid-
ed by the court then to be in
valid and unconstitutional. There
were four dissenting opinions de-
livered in the S e cases
one each by Justice Harlan.
Brown, Jackson and White, show
ing that the court had stood 1--WE
to four against the law. Inas
much as ono OF the dissenting
opinions was handed down by
Justice Jackson, ana as he was
absentat the first hearing, when
the court divided evenly on the
question of sustaining the law on
al points except as to the tax on
incomes from rents and bonds, it
follows that one of the members
of the court who tirstproneunc-
ed for the law, except on these
two points, changed his attitude
after the second argument There
is very little question that Justice
Shiras is the member who revis-
ed his views OF the law He,
however, made no announcement
either today or when the first
opinion was delivered, as to his
position.
While the opinion of the chief
justice was largely a review of
the general aspects of the ques-
tions involved, he based the acs
tion of the court, to-day, upon
the argument that the provisions
of the law regarding the tax up
on rents and bonds were so essen
tial a factor of it as to render all
other parts of it dependent upon
them. and in accordance with the
we'll known rule of law bearing
on this question. the law as d
whole must be declared invalid
The opinion of the chief justice,
while receiving the respectful
ard careful attention and consid-
GRAFTON of his auditors, was not
the subject of such general re-
mark as were the dissenting
opinions of Justice Harlan and
White. which we're couched in
language so vigorous and were
so emphatic in their arraignment
OF the majority as to cause very
general comment. Both Justices
indicated their belief that the
ruling opinion was revolutionary
and intimated that serious con-
sequences might ensue. Justice
Harlan suggested the necessity
for amending the constitution in
view of the opinion,
