THE CONST. I UTIONAL CON V ENTIOX
adjolum:i
On Friday last. True to our purpose
we shall say nothing to be sorry for
until we have seen the instrument in
full. We confess we fvl sore over the
apportionment, and think great injus
tice has been done to our county. For
2.H.Y) or thereabouts Otoe has another
Senator and for less than .'5,000 over and
above Cass county (estimated at that)
llichardson has two Senators. For less
than the ,00'i b;isis Otoe gets one more
representative than we do and Ilichard
son likewise. The manner of distribu
ting the document too, was foolish.
For less money than the pamphlet cost,
every real county paper in the State,
of general circulation, could have pul
lished it if the Convention had voted a
decent sum. It is a very foolish econ
omy at the tail end of the work to hag
gle on a few dollars aa to the best way
of putting your instrument before the
leopIe.Therepiibliean party of this state
owe their papers enough to have avoid
ed the sneers and tliiigs at newspapers
indulged in now and then. Some day
you may want your newspapers again
and they may not be there.
HON D LXT ENSION.
FitiKXD MacMukpht: I notice a
call in the IIkkai.d to vote on the 2Sth
of June, on the question of extension
of time on bonds, to assist in building
the Trunk II. II. and Weeping Water
Yalley Kailroad.
In the canvass of the count", when
these bonds were voted upon, as also
for that of bonds for the 15. & M. It. H.
the strong and prevailing argument in
obtaining a vote "For bonds" was, that
the roads would themselves pay these
bonds; that is, the taxes on the roads,
rolling stock, etc., would be sulhcient
to pay, not only the interest on the
bonds, but the bund.? themselves, and
that taxation on the. other property in
the county would be (decreased rather
than iicreased. And this was so easi
ly demonstrated by assuming values
for the road, that a large majority vot
ed -For bonds."
To ascertain how far this reasoning
was valid, I have taken the County
Tax receipts on two different pieces of
property, (in the value of which there
has been no essential change.) for the
post e'.c en years.
I obtain an average of the tax paid
for the five years from li-i to 107 in
clusive. Then I deduct 1G per cent,
from the tax on the same property for
1S74, allowing this 1G per cent, of last
year's tax as e.rtra llridge tax. and then
find the remaining tax of 1S74 to be
three, times the average of the years.
Again with the same deduction on
1S74 I compare the average of the next
live years, laOS 187S inclusive, and
find the tax of 1874 a few cents over
tirice that of these 5 years.
This does not look as though our
Bonds to the B. & M. were relieving us
mueli from taxation, even after the ii.
& M. has rele;ued us from about one
third of the bonds we voted for ic.
lint, says one in your last issue over
the signature of "Bonds", this increase
of taxation "is the expense of our pul
lic officials and our local improvements"
&c. Well, so far as our city tax is con
cerned, this applies with some force.
But on the county tax, after the bridge
tax deduction which I have made, 1 do
not think it applies at all.
Citizens, on or near the proposed
routes, as also others not fully posted
in the results of these bonds, say that
Hie whole county has been and is taxed
to assist us to a road on the north, ami
now it is but just that we of the north
should help these routes in like manner.
This at a glance look but right. But
that "misery loves company" is not the
golden rule. Should we, because we
have burned our fingers badly, assist
our neighbors to burn theirs? They
are anxious for the fire; but wa I; non
it is "paying too much for the whistle,"
and so will they knme, if they buy one
on the terms proposed.
Were I living anywhere within a
half day's travel of a railroad (and but
few. if any, in this county are outside
of that), I could not, in consideration
of my own. interest, vote to increase
the debt and. of course, taxation, to
shorten the distance; and what I would
not do to my own injury, I shall not do
to my neighbor.
As a county, with our already enorm
ous load of taxes, added to our loss of
crops, bankruptcy stares us in the face.
And now to incur an additional debt
of some S3 i0,000 more, with an inter
est of 633,000 to be added yearly to our
taxes and. even at that, leaving the
debt entirely unpaid, is simply to scut
tle the ship and let her sink.
In 1878 the 13. & M. was assessed at
810,500 per mile, in 1S74 at 9,500, and
for 1875 -at S7.575. Hence "Bonds"'
estimate that the Trunk road (and, by
inference, the W. W. V. It. It.) would
pay nearly the interest on the bonds, is
quite a mistake. Decreasing, as these
assessments do. probably &6.000 is as
high as we can count ujicai in ih fu
ture, which under our present levy will
pay nearly one half of the interest on
the bonds, leaving some S18.000 inter
est on these bonds, if the time is ex
tended for the citizens of the county to
lay in addition to our present taxes.

"Gr.i.sh(ii r sitting on a sweet ixitato Tine,
On a sweet potato vine,
Graislii'iKr Bittinon a sweet potato vine,
On a sweet t:ito vine,
Turkey pililt-r he came up behind
Ami uanUfl that ynisshopper oil the sweet
litato vine."
In the. innocent and careless days of
Nebraska's childhood we used to sing
the above and chuckle with wonderful
and verdant delight at the insane pic
ture of the old turkey gobler yanking
that hopper "off the sweet potato vine";
little dreaming that the day would
come when the order of nature would
be reversed and the grasshopper be
come a "burden" and a terror to us and
instead of being ignominiously jerked
anywhere by an insignificant turkey
gobbler, they would jerk the calcula
tions of the wisest men bald-headed,
and cause Wall street to tremble at the
of their wings, or if stories
can be believed, turning round and de
vouring all Mr. turkey gobbler's provi
sions, andinally Mr. gobbler himself,
even to the tail and feathers.
At the head of this column stands a
lively and lovely grasshopper in pris
tine glory. They tell us that a little
parasite is walking into the bowels of
grasshoppers(uncomp:ussiouate)and de
stroying him by the millions. While
we doubt this story exceedingly, to any
great extent, a little red grub does as
tonish him occasionally, and when he
has wiggled into the hide far enough
the hopper looks about so
p--.'7lr'T' -Vt:' V -v iyFt.i?t.'
IIOI'l'KKS HATCHING.
Grasshoppers hatched out from last
fall's eggs, in the southern part of the
county and as far north as Mt. Fleas
ant, doing great damage and making
the farmers feel very blue. Where
hatched, they cleaned things as they
went; but the northern and western
part of the count seemed free of the
pests, no eggs having been laid there
last fall.
ON SIXIAY
Afternoon the living rogues made their
appearance here in small numbers, but
did little serious- damage. Monday
morning, however, by !) o'clock, they
were living north-west in vast clouds.
In the afternoon they began to drop,
and Monday evening gardens ani lots
were full of them. The town present
ed a funny appearance; smudges wtre
built all over in hopes to save the veg
etables and small fruits.
By 10 o'clock Tuesday this swarm
rose and disappeared, and a great load
seemed lifted off our people. We lit
erally rejoiced and grew fat at the
thought, that we were through with
the pests and had received so little
damage.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
They were flying nearly due west in
countless, countless myriads, every
where the eye could reach, for many
feet through the Heavens they appear
ed, and gloom fell upon us once more.
AN EXCURSION
From Illinois passed through on the
B. & M., about 11 o'clock, and it was
laughable to see the reports they sent
back. They dropped about 200 postal
cards and exhausted the English lang
uage in vain endeavors to describe the
flight. One wrote, "grasshoppers are
thicker here than hair on a dog." An
other, "They are thicker than weeds in
a garden," and "fleas on a cat", "hairs
on your head", "sands of the sea",
"leaves of the forest", "outnumbering
the stars", etc., were nowhere to express
the sublimity of their ideas on hoppers.
Ancient and modern history were ran
sacked for similes, and classic, vernac
ular, "slang" and Indian helped to swell
the wonder and count the omnivor
ous hoppercmses.
All day the flight was kept up and
was probably the most extensive the
country has yet witnessed.
TOWARDS EVENING
Yesterday, they began to drop, about
three miles west of town, and as far
as we could hear of them through the
county they fell in spots and did in
conceiveable damage. At five we rode
out through many farms within a
range of eight miles west and south
west from here. To the scientist the
sight would have been wonderful, to
the fanner and citizen it was just des
perate and deplorable.
Wheat fields were covered with
them, a fair average count would give
six to every stalk, and the ground still
a brown, moving, wiggling mass. By
listening you could hear them eat
they imparted a reddish brown tinge
to the wheat as they roosted on the
stalks, making it look at a distance like
red-top iu the fall. The stall they
chew passes light through them, it
would fappear, as the ground under
thjjui will soon be- covered with small
yellow-green rolls of excrement-
THE CORN"
Was badly nipped in spots, but did not
seem to be so much of a favorite yes
ferday as the wheat. In fields they
had left the stalks of wheat stood up
bare of leaves, giving a peculiar bluish
tinge to the field which could be seen
a. long distance. We are anxiously
awaiting the result of last night's raid
but will not ascertain it in time for
this paper.
GRASSltorrEE DAY.
Wednesday, June lGth, 1875, must
be long known as "Grasshopper Day",
livery one judges so great a flight was
never known before; from way down
in Missouri to the western boundary
of Nebraska we could hear of them,
over 400 miles in length, and how wide
we have no means of judging. Per
sons leaving Missouri and passing over )
the St. Joe and Denver II. It. could
keep track of swarms for the whole
distance to Hastings.
ERRORS CORRECTED.
With all this, and it is bad enough,
many errors are abroad in regard to
the appearance and damages by grass
hoppers. They do not cover the ground
all over to the depth of three inches,
a3 many eastern people suppose. They
do not eat mules, children, trees,fences,
houses or hazel brush, corn planters,
harvesters and idiots arsafe any
where out of doors, and,
STRANGE TO RELATE
A stranger who had never heard of
hoppers might have ridden over miles
of country last evening and never have
been aware of their presence, unless he
rode into the fields of wheat or corn.
They do not take every field or farm,
they are only in spots, apparently, as
they gave out above and dropped down
tired and hungry.
PRESENT PROSPECTS
We are badly hurt but not ruined by a
long shot. The hoppers have not done
as much damage as the hail three years
ago and no fuss was made about that.
There is no danger of starvation, utter
ruin or anything else of the kind.
THE CORN
Will nearly all grow to-day, if they
leave now, and from the numbers that
flew yesterday there cannot be many
more to come.
THE WHEAT
Will grow in many instances and, if
not, it can yet be plowed up and corn
raised this season. Buckwheat, turnips,
potatoes and root crops can yet be
planted and have time to mature.
GRIT.
It's bad, but moaning and mooning
won't help it. Never give up while
there's a rag of canvass flying. Plant
something else, retrench your expenses,
help your neighbors, and we shall all
pull through.
BUSINESS MEN
Are as great sufferers as the farmer;
they must, however, be lenient to cred
itors, and helpful to each other.
EVERYBODY
Must try and pay all they can, live as
cheaply as they can and quit grumb
ling. WHERE SHALL WE FLEE TO?
Nowhere; stay where vou are. WeH
maintain still that there is no bettor
country. OskosJi is burnt up; iu Min
nessota they are paying bounties for
grasshoppers; half of Iowa and a largo
part of Missouri is devasted; Kansas
is infinitely worse off; a drouth pre
vails in many of the eastern States,
and it is hard times all over ; frost in
Southern New Jerse', Maryland, and
all over Maine and New Hampshire,
has materially cut off their crops.
A half crop here will bring 3 prices
yet.
OUR OWN STATE
Has reason to be thankful, many a
county will not be touched; many a
man will be better off by reason of the
hoppers, and if it will teach us to go
slower on public expenses, wiser in
private expenditures, and ape less and
less of the extravagance and pride of
the East, the hoppers may yet turn out
a blessing, instead of a curse.

ley is heading. Still we feel something
as we suppose a toad does while a har
row is passing over it. Myriads of lo

north, northeast or northwest. They
are reported as lying in swarms over
the ground, dead, cause unknown.
Health of people still remains good as

Bed Oak, June 15th, 1875.
Dear Herald: Bains have been
abundant, and crops of all kinds were
looking extremely well until yesterday
when the hoppers came by the million,
literally covering the ground, while
billions flew over and went past. Corn
fields, which looked promising yester
day morning, now look as though they
had been pastured with sheep. Yester
day farmers unhitched their teams from
their cultivators and left them stand
ing in the field, to see what was going
to be. And there they will stay till
the hoppers go past, for it is useless to
work. People are spreading out their
old clothes to cover their gardens and
save them. Everybody wants to sell
out, but nobody wants to buy.
