DliAK Wiliielm: Don't tiilk ; but what evor yon do, don't write letters. Two Salvation Annies will mako things lively in this country, and tho devil will havo to keep awako nights to gel ahead of them. WITH tho approach of that much discussed tinio of tho year, tho l!nstor season, comes another quite as charming time, which might bo railed tho floral season, when everywhere ono turns ho Is hound to see somo blooming plants, or cluster of bright blossoms. This is tho time when tho demuro Lenten girl plunges onco more into tho incicasiug whirl of social gaiety. Caumnal S vtoli.i, tho l'apal Ablegate to this country, is, it is understood, arranging his affairs preparatory to leaving for Europe in May next. Jlis successor is, it is believed, now in tho country in tho person of Arch bishop Averardl, who is visiting Archbishop Corrigan in New York. Ho is hero on a special mission nt present and will visit Jloxico and arrange to placo tho church in that country under tho supervision of the Ablegate. Tub Now York Itceordcr says Mr. Carlisle and his friends begin to regard his boom with j$roat seriousness, and tho fact that they do is proof of the desperate situation in which tho Democratic party finds itself in the busi ness of providing a cniididnto for President. If Carlislo is a candidato Mr. Cleveland can not be, and tho tamo may be said of any other member of tho Cabinet. It must bo that tho Administration has selected the Secretary of tho Treasury as tho most avail able man it has to oiler tho party and puts him forward with its blessing and promise of material support. If it is to bo Mr. Cai lisle, then, surely, the Republicans have no reason to complain. Attoknkv Wiliiki.m, of I'ottsvillo, has got himself into hot water by writing a letter to a Carbon county Judge, setting furth that "tho writer is informed that tho wife of tho Judge, had but recently fallen heir to a block of stock of tho Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, and that His Honor had been, prior to his elevation to tho bench, tho Solicitor of the appealing company, and that the writer was further informed by members of the Carbon County liar and others that Judge Craig would lean in his judgment in favor of tho company. Owing to these alleged facts Mr. Wiliielm requested Judgo Craig to vacate, the bench and call In Judgo Klco to sit upon the case." Tho reading of tlio letter created a sensation, and our own William was scored in theso words by Judgo Craig : "Mr. Wilholui, you aro practicing at this liar by tho courtesy of tho court. You have, not been rogularly admitted to prastico in this court, and therefore I cannot issue a rule upon you to show causo why you should not bo disbarred, Hut tho court now rules that you will no longer bo recognized in this case or in any othercaso," The Senate was startled yosterday by an unexpected storm of sarcasm and invective from Sonator Vost, of Missouri, directed against the President and members of the Cabinet. A comparatively minor measure was under consideration, but it brought Mr, Vest to his feet for a speech bristling with caustic personal references to tho President. Tho Senator spoko of Mr, Cleveland's recent speech In Now York, where, said Mr, Vest, "ho stood with tho ghastly light of the hell holos of tho rum sellers of Now York blazing upon him, and cantlngly said homo missions must bo used to civilize and christianlzo tho Wost." At another point tho Senator declared that if our President would pauso In hunting ducks in South Carolina and sllyor Democrats in iKcntucky long enough to go Wost, he would find a God-fearing, self-respecting pcoplo. llr, Vest's xeiuarks camo with such fiery enthusl nam, sucli plcturoequenoss of lauguago and such unctuous humor that Senators and (spectators joliud in frequent and long continued bursts ol laughter.
