THE TRIBUNE's cable letter this morning
shows that the reverses of the Scrvians i'll Bull
garia last week were more disastrous than was
commonly supposed King Milan, instead OF
spending the day III Sofia, has retired behind
his own frontier and is treating for au igno-
mniOus peace. Our dispatch plainly mdi-
Gates that the sympathy of Europe,
ousde of Vienna, is with Bulgaria.
and that Prince Alexander is not
only gallant soldier, but more skilful diplo-
mat than he has had credit for being. The lat
est news also indicates that speedy solution
of the present difficulties may be looked for
through the action of the Conference, and that
the Porte will come to some terms with Prince
Alexander.

The Excise Commissioners are evidently
anxious to "get back at the Mayor for pre-
senting charges against them to the Governor.
They have sent him a letter asserting that at
certain well-known theatres in the city liquor
is sold against the law, and asking him vnat
he is going to do about it. Mr.. Grace occa-
sionaly finds himself hard up for defence for
some of his acts, but this case he seems to have
one ready to his hand. If the law is violated
OF these theatres the violation itself revOkes
their licenses; but il is not for the Mayor to
move agdinstthe managers. That duty rests
upon the Police Department. So when Mr.,
Grace hands the letter Of the Excise Commits
sloners over to Superintendent Murray he per
forms all his duty and blocks Messrs. Haugh-
ton and Mitchell in their amiable little game.

There is no reason to be surprised that five
poor crazy people lost their lives when the
alm>house near Sanduslly burned down. The
wonder is that the number was not ten times
FIVE, for there were no facilities at hand to put
out the fire when once it started. The nearest
wa.er was in creek half a mile away, and by
the time help had been summoned from San
dusky and hose had been laid to the stream, the
main building and some of its occupants We're
beyond saving This is the way these sad
affairs happen every fall as soon as it is early
enough TO light fires. Yet, despite the expert
ence of the last few years, there are doubtless
hundreds of almshOuses throughout the cOun-
