The Cost Of the Trial.

II is no easy matter to calculate the
cost Of the trial Of the cause Of Tilton
against Beecher. 1t is not generally
known to any newspaper man what fees
counsel receive. The trial has cost the
county Of Kings at least $4,000. The iu-
rOrs have received $1,000 The total iury
expense, including panels Of l 800 men,
amounts TO 1914. The county Treasur-
er has paid out S2G.l54 rs the cOunty's
share OF the expenses Of the Tilton-Beech-
err trial. This does not include the paw
OF the detailed policemen, which will
foot up a large sum, neither does it en-
brace the bill Of Mr.. Parker for feeding
the jury.
= Mr.. Beecher's expenses can hardly be
less than $4,000. Mr.. Tilton is out of
pocket some $4,000, which amount he
VIII easily earn as soon as the lecture sea-
son begins. All told, $4,000 is a mod
crate estimate of the cost Of the great
uit.-IHGune.

General Sherman's Tribute to the Late
Gen. Blair.

There will now be no lack of graceful
tributes TO the memory of Frank Blair.
Some of them will come like aq1la Uolan-
tartd from the hearts of those who knew
him best, and hence had most cause to like
him, and others will come from tongues
and pens which in times past have given
forth anything but the utterances of praise
and good will Among these tribute few
only will be worth preserving; but few
will carry with them any balm to the
stricken household, and none will make
the name Of Frank Blair any dearer to the
American people than it already is for the
sturdy manliness, the blunt honesty and
the lnteXlble courage fhim who bore it
and made it famous.
Among the tributes whoth preserving is
one uttered by General sherman. The
! general was on his way down town from
his headquarters, and met an attche of the
Republican, wac accOsted him and asked if
he had seen the announcement of the death
Of General Blair.
Yes, replied General Sherman, Poor
Frank is gone, poor Frank is gone"
Then the general mnsed a moment and
sand with some warmth that some eypress-
ions of his had been distorted into reflect
ions upon General Blair's character as "A
soldier, and that great injustice had done
done to him thereby. " / ALWAYS had n
most exalted regard for Frank Blair. "pur-
sued General Sherman with much forceble-
ness of manner 81 always regarded him
as one OF the true:t patriots. most honest
and honorable men, and courageous sol,
diers this country ever produced. l never
lost sight Of the services he rendered the
country in the outbreak of the war, and |
fully concede and always have conceded
that to his boldness, promptitude and firm
ness more than TO anything else the coun-
try is indebted for the preservation of st.
Louis as a strategic point, and for the saliva
| ton Of Missouri from secession. Frank
Blair was noble, generous, honest man.
lie was brave, frank. sincere, and unself.
ish. His virtues will live forever, because
they reflected good on others, while his
faults will be buried with him because they
| harmed no one but HIMSELF
The Generals manner indicated that he
though his utterances in regard to General
Blair in the Memoirs had been wilfully and
maliciOusly misinterpretcd, and when ask
cd If he had any objection to the publica-
ton Of the tribute he had paid to the mem
DRY Of the departed statesman and soldier.
instantly replied, None, none; will be
glad to have it published. l desire to 90
on the record as n very warm eulogist Of

The Chicago PostOtfice.

WHsHGNGToN, July l3.-Congress-
man Farwell, Of Chicago, presented to
Secretary BristOw to-day The report Of
u committee of seven local architects,
appointed by City Council To examine
the foundation of The new pustofiice
buildingin that city. These architects
differ widely from the conclusions of
the committee OF three sent tn perform
a similar duty by Secretary Bristow,
aud upon whose report he ordered a
suspension of the work upon the
building. They pronounce the foun-
dation good one, quite capable of
sustain 10 the required weight, and
say the walls are perfectly level and
good, with the exception of u few de-
fective stones, the fault Of the cOntrac-
tors. They say their judgment as to
the sufliciency Of foundation must
be better than that of architects from
n distance who are not familiar with
the ground. Mr.. Farwel urged the
Secretary to order the resumption of
work, but received no encouragement
that he would do so.

contrary, it is notorious that he is
very careless and overheard in money
matters. He has earned large for
tune. His salary at Plymouth Church
for years has been $4,000. lie has
been paid as high as $1,000 for q
nights lecture. lie made $4,000 clear
profit in one lecture season. He has
made very much by his books and
his profits from the Christian Union
newspaper have been very large. Yet
with all these revenues Mr.. Beecher
is poor. He recently mortgaged his
homestead to raise $1,000, to help
Tilton when he was under the i'm.
preston he had done him wrong. No
one needy, poor or unworthy of help
ever was turned away from Beecher's
door without help. lie has been so
liberal in his gifts to the poor and
especially to poor young ministers
that his splendid annual income of
$4,000 has been scattered upon the
waters. In view of these facts it is.
we say, very unchristian in our con-
temporary to charge Mr.. Beecher with
finding solace for his trouble in noney.
The salary of 100000 was voted
to help him pay the costs
Of his defense, which reached, it is
believed, near $4,000. Plymouth
Church is an organized corporation,
having a charter, and by it's regula-
tions could not vote him $4,000 to
pay the costs of his suit. But they
could vote him any sum they chose
for salary; hence, in that way, they
provided their pastor a sum to defray
expenses, which they cheerfully bear.
Whatever may be the opinion of ed
itors about Mr.. Beecher's conduct in
the Tilton matter, our friends of the
Age are the only ones so illiberal as to
charge the great preacher with sor-
did passion for money. Such q charge
the whole world will vote unjust, for
the record is all against such charge.
