THE 8TA1B CONVENTION The state convention juet adjourned wan probably the largest popullet state convention ever aaeemoiea in nouru-. It km one of tbe most enthusiastic and kn.m..l.n. Tt naraminlitV Ml Ol uai IJIUUIUun. I " very high order. There i no other party in Nebraska that can aemble uch a lanre and enthusiastic gathering of clean trong, sober, Intelligent face a tbe meeting In the Oliver opera house this woek. Itwaaan Inspiring audience to look upon. Itwa a guarantee of great and noble future for populism. Tim work of the convention was me bitterest disappointment to the foe of the populist movement they bavo yet enoountered. Tbe hope of the repumi can manager and republican preol t hi. ninth tins been to poison the minds of the old original Alliance men who laid tho foundation of populism and are to day It backbone. These men are mostly ex-republloans. The plan of the enemy ha been to create the Impression mat the populist party waa being delivered to the democrat and to the lawyor and by that mean either win them back or koop them away from tbe polls Indis- gust. The people convention ha completely broken the republican plan of campaign for thl fall. Out of a doxen good candi date for governor It selected the man who wu probably tbe most conspicuous representative of the early Alliance and anti-monopoly movement In Nebraska, a farmer who farm with both hi hands and his brains, and placed him at the head of the ticket. Iiy a nol'e act of sac riflceou the part of Lleutenant-Goveruor larrlsitgave the sliver republican a place on the ticket. It enthusiastically renominated Attorney-General Smyth a a representative and worthy demo crat and named the other state ofllcer without a dissenting Vote. It adopted a strong platform and went home en thusiastic for success, Tbe July number of tbe bulletin of the department of labor at Washington contain very valuable report upon In surance among railway employes and tho economic aspect of the liquor prob. lem, The latter i especially full nnd complete. It appear to bo devoid of partisan coloring either for or against the llqoor buslnesM, but state simply and concisely tbe (ucts. It appear from these that the capital invested In the United Ktatesln 189 waa $1)57,1 52,007. This Includes the value of land and buildliiK rented for use of saloons, etc. The total number of ersons employed wa 241,755. The total eciul revenue paid by the business waa $lurj,020,175 of which the United Htates collected $114,450,8(11, the states $10,400,315, the counties $5,:iH9,782, the towns and cltle $34,0nO,215. In the manufacture of liquor there were used in round num ber 2,000,000 bushel of malt, 40,000 bushels of wheat, 8,000,000 bushels ol rye, 11, 000,000 bushels of corn and 10,000 bushels outs. Inquiry was made in two cities, Chicago und Milwaukee, of the per ceutHge of wage workers cashinu pay checks in saloons. In tbe one indus try taken as a sample (coul haiidling) (14 percent of the employes in Chicago Cttshcd their checks it saloons und 'I4 per cent in groceries. In Milwaukee 57 per cent cushed their checks in saloon and 49 per cent in groceries. Out of 7,000 Inrno eetabliHhiiii'nts re porting over hull have rules forbidin tbe use of tiqtior by employes some of them during hours of duty, others at any time, the production and con sumption of whiskey continues to de crease while that of beer bus increased slightly. Kswnrd county populists at their con vention last week made the follow ing iertiueiit ulatforin declarations: First.

NEWS FROM HAVANA, New Yoiik, Aug. 4. Account of tbe condition of affairs in Havana, Mataa eaa and Cardenas havo been given by passengers of the steamer Frldtjof Ivansen, which has arrived from Hagua. Bhe broucrht twenty-nine refugees, moat of whom were Spaniards, who had made all sorts of sacrifice to es cape from the island in anticipation of It being controlled by the insurgent. Many of them ware well supplied with fund, having turned all their valua ble property into cash. They paid $1'50 each for passage. Almost all those aboard being Span ish sympathizer, a meeting wa held in the saloon while the ship was off Ilarnegat, N. J., at which a majority pledged themselves to refuse to give any information to American regard ing the condition of thing in Cuba. A few, however, consented to talk after they got ashore, but even they were unwilling to permit their name to be used. One woman who had reached Sagua by rail from Havana uid that the con dition of affair in the capital was de plorable and was daily growing worse. "There is plenty of money," she said, "but of what use is it when it will hardly purchase anything? It is impossible to get beef at any price, and even horse flesh costs 91 a pound. J (rend cost twcuty-clght cents a pound and is very bad at that Eggs, which arc brought in from the country in small quantities, cost thirty'flve cents each. The supply of condensed milk is practically exhausted and the little left is sold at 83 for a can, such a you buy here for ten cents. On an average, ten to twelve persons are found dcud of starvation in the streets every day and this takes no account of the scores who daily die of hunger in the houses. 'No words can describe the horrors of Las Fchos, the place at the foot ftf the l'rado, where the rcconcentrados are herded together. I was told that there were no Ichs than 4,000 of these miserable people in tha place when I came away, and they are dviuir by hundreds, for, of course, nothing is done for their relief, eveu the govern ment has not food enough for its own soldiers. Worse than this, the olli cials beat and abuse the starving. "A few gas lamps are still burning In the streets, but the electric lights are only lighted Thursday nights when there is music in the l'arque Centrale. What a ghastly mockery these band concerts are with so many people starving to death w ithin sound of the iiiuhIoI All the theater ar closed and their lobbies are nightly crowded with the homeless poor. Wine is the only thing In tha city that is plentiful and cheap, so that eveu tha poor eaa get a little at times. "Almost all the store In Weyler and O'Uellly streets ar closd, as ar tbe principal hotels. The stock of coal Is almot completely exhausted and for a few days the local tralaa that run to Vedsdo and tha Santa Clara battery were st ppel for want of fuel They ar now burning' wood, but even that will soon b gone."

A. 1'o.yuter appeared nnd was greeted enthusiastically. He begged his friends to remember that be wa not their nominee until all three conventions had agreed upon hiin and assured them that bis best services were always at the disposal of the populist cause. Meantime tbe result of l'oyuter'a so lection bad gone to the democrats and sliver republicans, fn a short time Ken ator Ed Howell, of Omaha came in us a messenger from tbe democrats with the result of their last ballot which was: Fdgur Howard 534 W.L Stark 110 W.

Another one ob served "nenator wen give you a I'oynter," Soon after a inessitKe came from the silver republicans that they bad nominated i'oynter. ibis was cheered. mere was anotnor long wait wnen a messenger from tho democrat came in with auotber ballot us follows: Stark ;00 Howard 251 I'oynter 110 Nevillo 17 Ottfiln J.

I'oynter which carried enthusiastically, In the lonir wait that followed, J noire Neville, Senator MciJann, Rev. Mr. (Jib son of M'Xingtou.C. J. Smyth and W. II Ihompsonwero called out and in ado eloqueut speeches, Nevillo expressed the spirit ol tbe convention and was ati iluuded entbusinsticnlly when be suld io was for standing by W. A. I'oynter first and laet. Smyth told tho populists that tliey misunderstood tho democrats if they thought they desired to dictate Hie nomination, i hey simply had their own opinion a to wbo was tbe strong est candidate and were expressing that opinion, lie believed In tho necessity fur union and if his place was needed to make it he whs ready to yield it.

Ibe situutiou was becoming serious, a good many oi tne popuiist delegates went over to view the demo cratic proceedings, lliey found the dcmocrutK simply red headed at men tion of I'oynter. None of them knew anything about him except that some of the Omaha delegates had heard he was a prohibitionist and some one cine had hinted that lie was an A. 1'. A. That was enough. The democrats were in u high state of indignation. One Irom Dakota iu a box waved a flag and declared he would die a democrat r at to county and Colfax oouuty were demanding a democrat for the head ol the ticket. Those who were friends of I'oyuter could uot get a hearing. The fact was the nomination of I'oynter had Uen a complete surprise to the democrat. A majority of them were really willing to support a populist for governor, but they had looked for the ii Mini im of some prominent lawyer or business man. All that they knew about I'oyuter was that he waa a farmer and an old Alliance worker nud that wa not eneourngmg. One democrat proMMwd that they send over to the jtopulists lb names of Governor Hob comb, roiigrsman Stark aud Attor ney M. F. Harrington as Hire mpulists whom they would support.

His withdrawal was greeted with cries of "No" from nil ports of tbe convention, but bis bettt irlenils were finally persuaded that the spirit oi Mttcritlce for the sake of a cause wus in accordance with true populism and as soon as it was known that the silver re. publicans had named L.
