Helling ThlHW Straight. The Philadelphia Kmu editorially says : " The editor et the Lancaster In TKLLiaKNCEii la chairman of the Dem ocratic state committee, and the peliti cal deliverances of his Journal are ninde specially important by reason et tits quasi efllclal party position." And the aliter of the Timtt then proceeds te correct our statement of the relations between Carlisle. Morrison and Watter- Ban, te reaffirm his own, and te declare that we mislead the Democratic party when we declare that Watterson, in his brash affirmations as te the test of Dem ocratle fealty and faith, did net apeak the words of Carllsle and Morrison any mere than he speke words of truth and soberness. In making our affirmation we did It from uepecullar sources of knowledge that are net open te every one. The Times claimed te speak upon accurate and iutlmate Information ; and yet the Times did net tell the truth as It is. We refused credence te the Timtt, because of the Inherent testimony in the matter ; and largely because we knew that the editor of the Timcss lncapable of noting clear distinctions and is disposed te Inaccuracy as well as exaggeration of statement. The statement with which he enteis upon his criticism of our remarks is a fair sample et this disposition. lie knows as well as we de that the editor of the iNTELWOENCEn Is net the chairman of the Democratic state committee, though the chairman of the state com cem com mlttee is ene of the editors of the Intel LiQENCEit. That we have often edlte rlally said; declaring that no force should b3 given te the Intellieencek's edi torial utterances save such as should be due te their logic and facts. "We have corrected the editor of the Times befere new in Just such a state ment as he has again repeated. We have done it In vain, for he reiterates it. Pre sumably he docs net realize the distinc tion batween the fact as It is and the fact as he states It, for we de net suppose it is a matter which he would care te He about, if Indeed lie cares te He about anything; which we de net suppose. Ills false statements are simply due te a mental Idiosyncrasy, which prevents him from distinguishing Important differ ences aud giving their accurate weight te relative facts. We And this peculiarity cropping out in Cel. McClure's statement of thepeal tleu of Carlisle, Morrison and Watter- son, and of ourselves. Having gene te Washington te confer with the Demo cratic leaders te find what they were going te de about the tariff, he discover ed what he knew when he went there that Carlisle nnd Morrison and Watter son believed In free trade ; and he sup posed that he discovered that If they did net get what they wanted from the Democratic party they would hunt it elsewhere. That was his error. It was only Wnttersen who talked that way. Morrison had shown clearly that he is ready te sacrifice his views te these of his associates, in the large modifica tions which he has made in his bill. He has cut off most of his free list ; nnd after going thus fur te reconcile differences of opinion, it will he impossible for him te reasonably refuse te accept such ether reductions as the majority of his party associates shall require. The Times Indulges in its characteris tic misapprehension and consequent misstatement, when it Intimates that we consider the free trade leaders of the Democratic party te be feels, because of their faith In free trade us the proper policy for the country. On the contrary we heartily believe our selves that the time is rapidly approach ing when free trade will be the best policy for the nation ; and we further believe that we may new take steps towards the reduction of the tariff. We are thoroughly m f.ivorefthe Imperta tlen of raw materials free, as the first and best step towards free trade. If Mr. Morrison had kept his free list, and struck out the rest of his bill, tie would have done better than he has. We are net in love with the Morrison blll.princi pally because it will accomplish neth lng. There Is a great deal of cry, but there will be llttle wool. The reduc tlen of twenty per cent, will net greatly affect any manufacturing Industry that we knew anything about. I , will net hurt iron, we knew ; aud ene of tin strangest things In (he world is te bce the Iren manufacturers howling se loud ly against It. Iren is se low In price new that foreign Iren could net begin te get in here at a twenty per cent, reduction In the duty ; nnd our mauufacturers.and their sympathizing editors, are crying before they are hurt, like little children. The question of the adoption or rejec tion of the Morrison bill we deem te be of very llttle cousequence in itself. There is nothing in It te disturb the unity of the Democratic partv, whichever way the vote may go ; and It should net disturb It. We think that In view of the fact that the Senate will reject the bill, It is unprofitable for the Heuse te discuss it, and raise the bad feeling which It always seems te engenuer. It oxeltts politicians as a red flag does n bull, nnd seemingly upon a Hke lack of reason. It is a measure of se llttle real coiiBeeuoiico that Democrats In the Heuse should make party harmony their first censid oration In contemplating It. Aud if they cannot agree about It, let each one vetena he pleases, nnd be amiable ever the rtsult. The Demecrat we call a feel is net the Democratic free trader or the Democratic protectionist, but the Democratic don den don Jey who wants te kick his party te pieces because lis members differ about the propriety of twenty percent mero erlesi of an Impert duty.

Seme of the methods employed by the antl Mormons te misrepresent the objects of their hate are Illustrated by a recent publication In their organ, the Salt Lake Tribune, of an alleged steno graphic report of a discourse delivered nt Juab by Bishop West en the Sunday provleus,to the effect that the bishop had received a rovelutien ordering the assas sination of Governer Murray and a gen oral attack upon the Gentiles. New it Is confessed that the lopert was an entire fabrication, there being no foundation whatever for it. Seme of these 1 lys the public will determlne te find out the real truth about the Mormons and refuse te accept the reports of these whose lustful eyes are feasting en the "years of poed stealing" that they nntlcipate in the spoliation of the Latter Day Saints It leeks as though El Mahdl had knock ed out the Gladstenes ministry.

It may be nnnouiieed at any moment that Gladstoue has made nu appeal te the country. His working majority of eighty or ninety has dwiu.Ued te mi uncertain flgure. His party is racked with faotlens, his cabinet is divided against itself. Ailing In mind and body, the premier remains In the retirement of his country house, anxious te lay aside the butdens of oftlce. It is an open secret that there Is a cabinet split en the Egyptian polley of Gladstone The Earl of Derby, colonial secretary, aud Lord Selberne, lord high chauoeller, nre opposed te lighting. Gladstoue recalled his Midlothian specch when epeaking of the Afghans, he said : "It is disgraceful that a nation whom we call savages should, iu defeuse of their native land, efler thelr naked bodies te the arms of European soieuco, and be killed by the huudred thousand for doing with rude, Igneraut ceurage what were for them, duties of patriotism " Hew, having denounced the massacres efCabul aud Candahar, oeuld he, .Glad stone, sanction the massacres of Teb and Tamauieb ? His colleagues overbero him. They could net risk dissjlutieu. Each had a pet massacre for the coming session. Chamberlain, the proaident of the beard of trade, was posing ns the guardlau angel of mariuers. Sir William Haroeurt, home secretary of state, was busy with "Turtle fed beers of the city." The rest were pushing the reform bill which they hoped would increase thelr strength at the next election. Se Gladstoue censented te sum. raeu the doctor aud lie abet! until Gener.tl Graham's work was dene and the butcher's bill ctme in from Suakim. Unhappily, certalu Kadicals were tnjre scrupulous. Few parliamentary scenes have been mero excitiug than the midnight charge which Labeucbere, Richard aud Cowen led agaiust the authors of the "Soudan massacres." Lord Raudelph Churchill, scenting the battle from afar, hastened te Jein them with his Fourth Tarty. Then catne Parnell with his haudful of Irish guerrilas.

With his wtfe and child he man aged te make his way from the bedroom te the deer et the living room leading into the hallway. The distance he had te go was about three yards. They succeeded m getting out of the room. Mr. Gerber's hair was almost burned off and his wife's hair was also badly sained.
