EMPIRES PROFIT AND LOSS.

1t will be we'll for the American people
| TO keep in mind, until the issue of I'M
perialism shall have been properly dis
posed OF, the plain fact of who shall he
the beheficiaries and who the sufferers
if the Republican scheme of Empire
should be put into full effect.
The benefits of Empire would accrue
| TO the trusts, TO the party of Empire and
| TO the hosts of carpetbag otficeholders
brought into being by the necessities Of
Empire. The trusts would benefit
through widening of their scope OF
monopoly, through the grabbing of val
liable franchises in new countries,
through absolute control of our ''cc-
loniaT' trade. through the employment
of subject and helpless labor at cody
wages. The party of Empire would
profit from Empire by the strengthening
of its hold on power with n big standing
army acting under its orders, by the
financial support of the trusts enriched
by Empire by the compact organization
for SpOils possible where there are num-
berless offices 10 be used rs rewards for
partisan service. The carpetbaG Office
holders would profit as they have al
ready profited in Cuba. by looting the de
Tendencies which they are appointed TO
govern and administer.
The sufferers by the definite Inaugural
ton of the policy of Empire as per-
manent American policy will be the pro-
ducins American people in every Wa k
of life. 1t is the people who must pay
the cost of maintaining the armies of
Empire. IL is the people from whose
ranks must be drawn the soldiers of the
armies of Empire. Ii is the people who
must pay. in the form of tremendous
colonial budgets" the salaries of the
carpetbaGgers in office in American de
tendencies" II is the people who must
pay 10 the monopoly trusts the vast
profits of monopoly from which the
trusts contribute the sIush-fund for the
support of the party of Empire. No
share of the gains of Empire will be al
lowed TO come To the American people.
They will hold the bag.
Leaving out Of the discussion all con-
sideration of the question of right and
wrong involved in the issue of imperial |

ing TO vote for Empire on the terms pro- |
posed? Admitting. for the sake of argu- |
ment. that they would agree to the over |
throw of the Republic, TO the surrender |
of American faith as proclaimed by the |!
founders of the Republic, to the utter |
of all for which this cousl- |
try has stood for more than century Of !
glory. will they be fools enough to vote |
for an Empire their share in which |
would consist of a payment of the
taxes caused by Empire and |
a contribution of the limitless blood
necessary to be shed for the extension
and maintenance of Empire: The peo-
pies answer to this question must be
made at the polls in November. If they
are still clothed in their right mind
their answer will forever dispose of En-

ton of law. When Judge Hirzel was last
on the bench he ordered the Sheriff to adj
journ court until July II. Before that date
he died.
Some of the lawyers In Clayton main
tained that the court stood adjourned until
three days after that time and that the
May term could accordingly be adjourned
from time to time. provided the new judge
was sworn within three days from July H.
The COURT record showed that the court was
adjourned until July II. but upon hearing
the statement OF Deputy Sheriff Osborne,
Judge Booth decided that the term had eX-
pired last Friday evening. The decision
will inconvenience a number of 81. Louis
lawyers. who had motions to make before
the term expired. They must now wait un-
til the September term

COLUMBIA has realized this week
and last more than ever before the
presence of and necessity for a daily
newspaper. How would the people
have kept up with the casualties of
the calamity, or how would the COM
mittees have given notices of their
meetings and accomplished their
work, without the aid of the DAILY
HERALD? 1t could not have been
done SO successfully, SO promptly, SO
we'll. And this manifest need OF
daily newspaper, has greatly
strengthened the HERALD not only
in the number of its readers, but in
the estimation of the general public.
Since the tornado we have published
and sold more than thousand extra
copies of the HERALD. In making
up their advertising budgets for next
year, Columbia merchants should
remember to include the DAILY, as
well as the WEEKLY HERALD.

DIRECTORY OF STARS.

AT congress- held in Paris in 1887
it was decided that the end OF this
nineteenth century should see ths
making of great catalogue of all tina

pleteness and precision surprising
anything previously attempted. It fR
impossible to exaggerate The import
ance Of such work, for upon our
star catal cues epends ultimately tins
entire 81. Icture OF astronomical
science. The work was far too vast
for the powers of an observatory
alone. Therefore the whole sky from
pole to pole, was div.Ged into eight
belts or zones of approx mately equal
area and each of these was assigned to
single observatory to be photo
graphed. A series of telescopes Was
specially constructed, so that every
part OF the work should be done with
the same type of instrument As far
as possible an attempt was made To
secure uniformity Of methods. and
particularly a uniform scale of pre-
cision. To cover the entire sky upon
the plan proposed no less than 4l.I0S
negatives are required, and most OF
these have now been finished The
further measurement OF the pietures
and the drawing up CT vast printed
star catalogue are also we'll under way
