The following is the weekly crop bull
letin sent out from Raleigh by the
State Agricultural department under
date of April 9th.
During the past week weather con-
ditiOns have continued very unfaVOra-
BILE for both farming operations and
growth of most crops. Rain fell nearly
every day, the total precipitation for the
week ranging from 0.40 inch to Ashe-
Vile and LEO at Wilmington to 3.16
inches at Raleigh. Land was too wet
for any plowing to be done except on
hill tops, and farmers are much behind
with thier work u light frost causing
little damage, occurred in the eastern
counties on the morning of the 22nd.
On the morning of the 24th a heavy
frost occurred in the central and west
ern portions Of the state, and killing
frost in some elevated localities, the
thermometer falling to 80 degrees at
Asheville; wheat and truck in the west
portion were somewhat damaged, and
fruit entirely killed in some places.
Hail storms occurred locally during the
first part Of the week and caused slight
damage in scattered localities.
''Some cotton has been planted but
the soil is too cold and wet for it to
germinate. In the eastern and central
portions the corn crop is partly planted,
but young plants show a poor stand
and some fields will need replanting.
Tobacco transplanting has been COM
pleted at a very few points, the work
being hindered by rain and lack of pre-
pared land. Winter grain is doing well
in some sections. but numerous COM
plants of rust, and a few of the hes
sian fly and chinch bugs, are received.
Grass and clover, wherever reported,
are doing we'll. In the eastern counties
irish potatoes present an excellent ap-
pearance, the fruit prospect is promis-
ing, and shipments of truck and straw
berries continue"

HAMPTON INSTITUTE.
Diplomas Issued to the Indian and
Negro Pupils Yesterday at the
Comm mencement.

Newport News. Va, April 29.-The
37th anniversary and commencement
exercises were brought to a close at
the Hampton Normal and Agricultural
Institute this afternoon when diplomas
and trade certificates were awarded to
the negro and Indian students who had
passed successfully their examinations.
The distribution of honors and prizes
was preceded by q musical and liter
ary entertainment given by the pupils
of the various departments and appro-
pirate addresses by DR.. Lyman Abbott,
Booker L. Washington, Robert G.. Og-
den AMI several members of the South
ern Educational conference.
Principal F'risSells report, which was
submitted today, showed that the in
stitution was in good condition, and
that progress had been made along all
lines Of the work. 1t was announced
that Mrs. Barclay Hazard. of New
York, had given $1,000 for the estab-
lishment of an Indian Museum at the
institution, in memory of her brother,
the late Eli Whitney Blake, of Provi-
dence. r. l.. who at one time was a
teacher in the school and who took
much interest in the Indian students.

was necessary to pray in order that the
object should be secured.
THE other difficulty is of a different
sort and strikingly reinforces the argu-
ment that equity cannot undertake
now, any more than it has in the past
to enforce political rights and also the
suggestion that state constitutions
Were not left until mentioned in para
graph 1879 by accident. In determining
whether a court of equity can take
jurisdiction one of the first questions
is what it can do to enforce any order
that it may make. This is alleged to
be the conspiracy of the state, although
the state is not and could no be made
a party to control its action by any di-
rect means. and if we leave the state
out of consideration, the court has as
little practical power to deal with the
people of the state in body. The Dill
imports that the great mass Of the
population intended to keep the blacks
from voting. To meet such intent,
something more than ordering the
plaintiffs inscribed upon the lists OF
1902 will be needed. If the conspiracy
and the intent exist name on piece
of paper will not defeat them. Unless
we are prepared to supervise the voting
in that state by officers of the court.
1t seems to us that all that the plaintiff
could get from equity would be an
empty form. Apart from damages to
the individual, relief from a great po-
HtIcal wrong. if done as alleged by the
people Of a state and the state itself,
must be given by them or by the legiS-
lative and political denartment of the
government of the United States"
Justice Harlan's dissent from the
courts opinion was based on the
ground that as an amount exceeding
$1,000 was not involved, the circuit
court had no original jurisdiction OF
this case, and that the supreme court
had no right where this want Of juris-
diction appeared to go into the merits.
He said he agreed with Justice Brewer
that the courts We're entitled to give
relief in such cases as this. Justices
Brewer and Brown in a dissenting
opinion written by the former, held
that as there was a constitutional queS-
ton involved the court should look be-
yond the certificate of the lower court
that the bill had been dismissed for
want of Jurisdiction and open the case
for full inquiry. The dissenting opin-
ion added:
Neither can I assent to the PROPOSE
ton that the case presented by the
plaintiffs bill is not strictly legal one
and emitting party to q Judlcal
hearing and decision. He alleges that
he is a citizen of Alabama, entitled to
vote; that he desired to vote at an cleo
tiOn for representative in congress;
that without registration he could not
vote, and that registration was wrong
fully denied him by the defendants.
That many others were similarly
treated does not destroy his rights or
deprive him of relief in the courts.
That such relief will be given has been
again and again affirmed in both ma
tiOnal and state courts
