Mr.. Gladstone may find consolation under the
assaults of his enemies in the reflection that
somewhat more than a century ago, another
eminent liberal statesman in England made q
like battle against national prejudice. When
Pitt stood up in Parliament and warned his
countrys lawmakers that they were throwing
away q great opportunity In refusing to lend
ear to the protests then coming from America,
his prophetic utterances were greeted with
sneers A dozen years later the contempt of
his foes gave place TO wonder at his foresight.
England discovered that, by refusing to treat
disastrous war and q final separation Pitt, like
Gladstone, had reached an age at which expert
encs counts for a good deal He had witnessed
the rise and fail OF ministries and the transfer
of power from sovereign to sovereign for more
than two generations. He had seen England
both worsted and victorious in the field of for
eign warfare. He had been identified with
national politics from hts youth, and had taken
part in some of the hottest parliamentary COM
bats in the history of the kingdom. He had
passed the time when any selfish end could
have been gained by espousing the cause of the
weaker party in a great civic struggle. Pitts
warning passed UNDECIDED, with the result that
what might have been merely an easier bond
became a total severance. Is 1t not more than
possible that Gladstone has, like his great pro-
totype, turned seer in his old age, and IS now
presenting to England a similar alternative?

and the Cars dominions. But TO this
request and Alexander's expression OF
good will and submission, the Gar
repl ed that the mission of Prince
Dolgorouki had become inexpedient:
and says to the Prince: II cannot ap-
prove of your return to Bulgaria, fore
seeing from it sinister consequences for
the country already so sorely tried.
Il 1 shall abstain so long as
your highness remains in Bulgaria from
any Intervention in the sad condition to
which the country is reduced. Your
highness must decide your own course.
1 reserve to myself to judge what the
interests of Russia and the peace of the
east require of me-"
To say the least that is rather an un-
gracious reply; and after reading it one
would almost be ready to conclude that
Russia bad some hand in the deposition
of Prince Alexander in the first place.
at any rate the spirit of the revolution
seems not entirely crushed; for when
the loyal citizens and soldiers of Phil
ipopolis were holding demonstration
IN favor Of Alexander in front of the
British Consulate, counter demonstra.
ton in favor of the revoIutionists
was he'd in front of the Russian
Consulate. Is there anything significant
in that? Does it not at least show that
each party knows in whom to trust
for support? Before Alexander's re-
turn to Bulgaria Russia thought it ex-
pedient to send Prince Dolgorouki to
Bulgaria. Did Russia intend to occupy
the principaIity Are the dark and
sinister consequences" which Russia
foresees in the event of Alexander re-
turning to his throne, the execution of
the chief plotters wko drove him from
it, and which Russia has said she can
not permit And ould Russia be in
terested in the execution of rebels iun-
less they had acted under her direc-
tions2 To these questions we give no
answers. Time will answer them. But
if Russia is bent upon the occupation of
Bulgaria, if she demands the perms-
nent abdication of Alexander, if she in
sists upon the non-executioR of the
prime movers in the late petty revolu
ton, thus giving good reasons for be-
lieving that they acted under her direc-
may depend upon being
confronted with vigorous protest from
England and Turkey that shall threaten
a war that would involve the peace of
all Europe.

BULGARIA AGAIN.

The correspondence between Prince
Alexander and the Gear of Russia as
given in our dispatches this morning
creates q new interest in the Bulgarian
question. Both citizens and the
soldiery of the little principality are
making every effort to give a royal
welcome to their returning Prince Who
was so unceremoniously pushed from
his throne by the revolutionists.
Alexander is triumphantly marching
towards his little capital, Sofia. amid
the cheers of his joyous subjects, when
\ blighting message comes from the
Gear which certainly fcreshadows the
demand for AIexander's permanent
sbdication and threatens the peace of
all Europe.
AleIsnder's message to the Car was
expressive of good will towards Russia .
and to those unacquainted with the
forms Of speech used in monarchies
the language employed by the Bull
garian prince was not only submissive
in its character. but even sIaYish. He
says:
My first act on resuming power
is to assure your majesty of my frm
intention to make every sacrifice to
forward your majesty's magnanimous

grave crisis through which she is pass

sia having given me my crown, it is

render it."
In addition to these expressions of
submission to Russia, Alexander asked
that Prince DolgorouE, who had been
appointed special envoy extraordinary
rom Russia to Bulgaria, be put into
immediate communication with hin.

THE DEAF KUTEs.

The County Court of Salt Lake
County has done its duty towards the
INDECENT deaf mutes, by providing for
the education of five of them. These
will be boarded and lodged by Prof.
White at his cottage near the Univer-
sity, and will therefore be constantly
under the eyes of the Professor or his
wife. 1t is to be hoped that other
counties will be as just and generous in
making provision for their mutes, as
Salt Lake has been and that these poor
unfortunates, Handicapped as they must
necessarily be. viii have their burden
through life ightened by liberal edu-
cation. A portion of the public money
cannot be more probably invested than
in giving to the deaf mutes the educa-
ton that will enable them to
take care of themselves and become
good and useful citizens in the
community instead of leaving them
charges upon friends or the public.
Sometime ago THE HERALD published
list of the mutes in the Territory at the
time of the taking of the census in 1880.
There has been some increase since
then, and number have grown too old
to attend school; some are able to care
for themselves, and the parents Of
others can pay for the education OF
their children; yet there are severaI
who are anxious to attend school but
who will be unable, through poverty, to
pay the cost of the board and tuition.
All these should be provided for by the
counties to which they belong, until
such time as the Legislature shall
acquire control of the public money,
and devote portion of it to the educs-
ton and training of these poor and
afflicted children. The cost to the
respective counties Will be trifing
while the benefits must be incalculable
in value to the mutes.
