You will ind the WEEKLY POST
DISPATCH indispensable during the
year 1897. The year 1897 is going to
be brimful of interest. The Incoming
of the Mckinley Administration, with
new Congress, ected on a gold
platform, means legislation of kind
that will vitality interest every news
paper reader in the country, and es-
pecially in the W est and South.
Special attention will be paid in the
WEEKLY POST-DISPATCH to this
news of a national character, and it
will he discussed editorially from the
point of view of the West and South
as co trasted with that of Wall street.
The campaign for free silver will go
on in 1897, and nothing can do so much
to help along the campaign of educa
ton as a newspaper like the WEEK
LY POST DISPAT' III This is shown
in the fact that in Missouri and in ev-
cry other locality where the POST
DISPATCH has a large circulation,
the gains of Democracy and fr esiIver
were of a sweeping character.
The POST DISPATCH deserves the
support of all Free Silver Democrats
because of the great fight it made in
the recent campaign for Democratic
principles and the Democratic ticket.
Hence the Free Silver men every
where should rally to its support by
sending in their subscription and in
ducing others to subscribe.
From the Poplar Bluff (Mo) Citizen.
The Post-Disp0tch did more in the
present campaign for the cause of the
merchant, mechanic, farmer and la
boring man than any other paper in
the state. It will always be valua

and will be repaid q thousand for
good done. 1t was through the Post
that many frauds were exposed which
would otherwise have gone unnoticed
by the American press, and it alone

day. The Post Dispatch is the paper
for the people.
In addition to all the news and the

The Missouri Pacific Starting Movement
for Putting Them Back.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The Missouri Pa
cific is at the head of movement look
ing to the restoration of grain rates
from the Missouri river to Chicago
The other roads do not seem to be fall
ing over themselves to put the rates
back to the old basis. The fact is, the
reduced rates have started the corn to
coming east by way of Chicago, and
this traffic forms the chief part of the
business done at the present time by
more than one of the roads, and until
they can chance to get something
in the place of the corn they are now
handling it is not likely that the rates
will be advanced to the old standard.

DISEASE IN CUBA.

Yellow Fever Much Worse in Havana Than
in Ordinary Season.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Health Officer
Alvan FL. Doty, of this city. returned
from Havana, Cuba, yesterday. He
found that there was great deal of
yellow fever and smallpox in Havana
and the surrounding country. The san
itary conditions are terrible. The whole
city's sewage. he says, is emptied
into the bay, and the tide is not suffi-
cient to carry it to sea- Consequently,
the bay is, he says, constant breeder
of yellow fever, especially around the
Rigna docks and military hospital He
is confident that the condition of the
CITY of Havana is much worse than in
ordinary sum mers, as the presence of
unacclimated soldiers has a very bad
effect.

Election of President This Year Largely In

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Mr. c. w.
Ernst, formerly assistant postmaster
of Boston, has long been known as an
expert statistician- Mr.. Ernst, while
in Washington, prepared interesting
figures, which he believes to be impor-
tant in the conduct of the coming ca M
paign. Speaking of them to-day, he
said:
OF the men who voted in 1892, about GOD 900
are dead. Their places are taken by the young
men who have reached the voting age since
will be heavier, relatively, than in 1892.
In 1892 the country apathetic.
while in 1896 it is interested. I expect total
popular vote Of about ii, % 000 nearly 5000 OOJ
being new voters; that is. young men who at
tanned their majority since 1892, voters natu-
rallied since 1892 and men who failed to vote in
1892 for lack of interest The important ele-
ment is the young voter who casts his first vote
for president The total number of young men
who have attained the voting age since 1892
anybody doubts this statement that near
ly 100000 young men have reached the voting
age since 1892, consult the census about our
young men respectively 21, q, % and "a years
total male population Of the voting age aggre-
eating 16,94o311 This population of voting
age has now reached about 19.750,O09, of
whom about 2,90O,00 have attained the
voting age since 1892. It is not un-
reasonable to think that 2.5oO-
600 of those young men will cast their first ball
lot for president, either for Bryan for Nc
kinley, and that the outcome of the election
rests almost wholly with the very youngest
voters we have The fate OF the country rests
far less with the old voters than with the
young men who are less than 25 years OF age.
