DURING the campaign the republi-
cali state central committee levied
assessments on the republican post
masters of the state in order to raise
campaign funds, the same Us the
populist comm ttee LEVIED assessments
on state officers and employees. II
has just come to light that some OF
these postmssters found way Of
playing partially even on the ASSESS
ment., A postmaster's salary depends
on the amount OF business his office
does, particularly in the way Of sell
ing stamps. When these postmasters
sent in their assessments to the COM
mittee instead Of buying a bank draft
or q posto6ice or express order, they
simply purchased enough stamps of
themselves to cover the amount Of
their assessment In this way part
Of it came back to them from the
government, but the committee had
more stamps than they knew what to
do with. That is one reason why no
item for stamps appears in the ex.
pense account of the republican state
central commlttee.-State Journal.

Washington. Sept. 14.-Tremendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have more
troops mustered out of the service. Eff
forts in this direction. however. are
of no avail. II is announced with in
creased emphasis that there will be no
more troops mustered out. The sit
uation does not admit of any further
reduction in the army. and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers
who are retained in the service as near
as possible TO the footing of the regu-
lars in the matter OF drill and dis
cipline. The purpose at the outset.
when the muster out began, was TO
muster out 1000 volunteers. little
over 5000 have already been mustered
out. and IL is announced positively that
there will be no more mustered out, no
matter what influence is brought to
bear.

But his efforts and inquiries, taken

effect of provoking protests from the
