Britain but do not decide that such services
should be rendered without payment. Butt it
is decided that the public ought to pay for
them, we shall insist that & lawyeErbe elected
or appointed and paid by the year for discharg-
ing the duty. There are capable, upright,
respected lawyers either of whom would gladly
undertake this duty and discharge it acceptably
for $4,000 per nnnum. Such one would
necessarily be more familiar with our criminal jul
risprudence than one taken almost atrandom from
the whole number of our cOlnselOrs, and would
be above all suspicion of seeking uOtoriety or
pushing himself into particular case. If our
Supervisors shall decide to pay these bills, we
trust they will proceed al once to ascertain
The lowest terms on which competent lawyer
will undertake the defense Of all indicted pau
pers, and, being ascertained, make n contract
accordingly. The City can't afford to pay
81, 600 a head for tie defense of its indicted
criminals.

REESE IN THE PRICE OF TEE

One year ago the price Of white newspaper
was eight cents a pound. The price yesterday

war, over which we, of course could have no
control and to which we must submit with the
best grace We can.
The most of our readers are familiar with the
extraordinary rise in the value Of raw Cotton
IN the last nilc.ocn months from ten cents a
pound 20 sixty-eght This has carried up the
price Of all the materials for textile fabrics to

sion Of lbrous waste from is customary uses.
Rags have entirely been Withdrawn from the
manufacture Of paper, and have been
restored by machinery to tho lbrous con-
dtion TO be used again in the prodIc-
ton of cloth. In every one Of the FREQ
states, an immense quantity Of old linen
has been devoted 10 the needs of our mill
tary hospitals, and the surgical departments OF
the armies in tho field. The paper manu.ac.
turc, in The midst of the war, is embarrassed
with an astonishing and at present an irrenc-
dable failure Of material. But while tie price

ance in Presidents Message is an immense
fact significant, fruitful, enduring. The howls
and jeers of million "lewd fellows of the
baser sort" arc soon stilled and forgotten;
while the reverberations of one such voice are
pr olonged and dilused through centuries.
"The elections go against you" shouts cx-
ultingly Seymouri.e. Yes; the sending OF
One Million Union Volunteers to the seat of

Union Volunteers TO the field, and we
shall be outnumbered at the polls, far more
decidedly than we now are. So the fears of
draft the pressure Of War burdens, the odious-
ness Of shinplastcrs, will impel some to fall away;
but their place s nobly supplied by Union
War Democrats, proud to stand by their coun-
try in her extremity regardless Of all party ties
or shibboeths. The Republican party lost
elections from like causes in ISl4; but in 1916
it had virtually the country to itself. "The
thing that hath been, it is that which shall be,
and there is nothing new under the sun"
Let no man doubt that such ytterances rs

and predict the course of events, whatever

Yet a little while, and the doom of Slavery

Union sentiment in MISSOURI which has just

In a portion of our edition Of yesterday we
published an Abstract Of the Report Of the
Secretary Of War, forwarded Us by telegraph.
Since then we have received the entire docu-
ment from the Department. and accordingly
We present our readers with another and q very
comprehensive and copious abstract Of it,
fuller, Of course, than that offered yesterday.
In this latest abstract, every important fact
Of tho original is set down in the briefest
style. The Report, as woll as that Of the
Secretary Of the Navy, which we gave it

but to increase the price of the journal we
issue to maintain its present high position.
This summary of the reasons which compel
us, very reluctantly, to raise the price of The
TRIBUNE to its readers, we know will be
generously appreciated by them. They will
bear in mind, too, that the disturbance of
values caused directly by the war, and by the
extraordinary issue of paper money by the
Government, is general one, and that while
it enhances the price of most of the things
they consume, it adds to the value Of what
tbey produce, aud thus in reality maintains the
former economic balance between their earnings
and expenditures.
