Stamps Ready for Delivery.

Washington, Aug. 14.-It is stated at
the internal revenue bureau that there
will be no further delay in the delivery
of all cigarette and cigar stamps that
may be ordered delivered. A large
quantity We're shipped to New York
Thursday and at present there are no
acquisitions untitled. The delay, in a
measure, was caused by the breaking of
one of the plates. The fact, too, that
the new law went into immediate effect
upon its passage precipitated vast
amount of work on the bureau of en-
craving and printing, but the conges-
ton is now relieved and all orders will
be filled at once.

Missouri Drifting Republieanwards


ST. Louis Globe. Democrat (Rep.)
Only five States last year cast
larger Republican vote than Missouri.
The vote for Mckinley in Missouri
was larger than the Bryan vote in any
except seven States. McKinleys vote
in this State was 3o4, $40, or 6S. 6S3
more than the Republicans ever polled
before. It exceeded by considerable
margin the Republican vote in the
party stronghold Of Iowa and Michi-
gan. Though the Democrats and
P,pulists Of Missouri were thoroughly
fused. they gave Bryan a plurality
but II, 247 beyond that for Cleveland
in 1892, when the Populists, voting
separately for Weaver, cast 4I,2T3
ballots of their own These are the
figures upon which the claim is based
that Missouri is swinging to the Re.
publican column.

Economy in public expenditures
is the watch-word on the Republican
side in Congress. This was the recon-
mendation of President McKinley's
message and has been re-echoed by
Chairman Cannon, of the House APP
preparation Committee, and Chairman
Dingley, OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and there is reason to believe
that the Republican party in the pres
ent Congress will make a record OF
economy of which members in all
parts of the country will have reason
to be proud.
