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.
Judge TeuitciEK'tf maguzlne, which
has net been such a success as his pellt
cal romances, seems te be converted Inte

of the title rage, nnd regular literary
matter of the periodical, as though they
were paid advertisements. As such they
would have mero weight, perhaps, If It
was known who paid for them.
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

Proceeding by Injunction Is the latest
devlce adopted for controlling nowspaper

A dissolution of the Gladstoue ministry
Is at hand. 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

"It is disgraceful that a nation whom we
call savages should, iu defeuse of their
native land, efler thelr naked bodies te

Marcus Oerber and his family, consist
lng of wilt) and a year old child, had a
narrow escape from being burned te death
at their residence, Ne. 127 Ludlow street.
New Yerk, Friday morning. The family
occupied a part of the fourth lloer iu tbe
building, which is a six story tenement.
At about half-past 2 o'clock Slra. Gcrber,
was awakened from sleep by hearing the
baby cry. She saw that nn apartment was
in names, and awoke her husband, who
for a few moments was bewildered by the
horror of the situation. Te escape into
the hallway it wai noeossary for him te
pats from the bedroom through the room
which was en tire. He picked up the child
and wrapped a shawl around its head.
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. The eiaht
families living en the two doers abeve and
t!. three living en the same lloer, who
were areuccd from thelr slumbers by the
entcric3 of the Geiber family, managed te
make their way te the reef amid the
blinding smeke which filled the hallways.
The eight families living en the second and
third tioers aud the two families living
back of the stores en the ground llier
made thelr way te the street, many of them
in their night clothes Fer a tlme there
was considerable excitement in the heuse
and a panic prevailed. One of the inmates
ran te the huuse of cngine company Ne.
17, at Ne. 91 Ludlow street, and gave the
alarm. That company oxtlucuished the
flre in about an hour. Mr. Gerber's less
is about 300. The damage te the building
is only about $100.
