Retaliation In Removals.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Had time permitted l intended to reply
to "Verncn's" criticisms of Mr. Donath,s
letter respecting the violations of the
spirit of the civil service law involved in
the discharge of faithful republican en-
ployes. Mr.. Donath has done so, however
in your issue of the 18th instant, but in a
manner that leaves the implication that
TO right an old wrong he would favor
the committing of new one.
Mr.. Donath says that 1.-The gross wrong
perpetrated In 1893 cannot be made right
too quickly to suit me- (him). Assuming
as l do, that Mr.. Donath Is not civil
me ask him Of he thinks the cause of civil

ing OF such Wrorg gS are here referred

would not be justified in reinstating the
LOO or more employees of the railway
mail service whom President Harrison dis
missed to give places to republicans, and
to do which he suspended the operation
of rule promulgated by President Cleve-
land just before he retired from office.
Surely this was as gross a wrong as that
perpetrated with the tacit approval of
the present chief magistrate in 1888. And
where would this sort of a thing end ?
that no great reform has ever been ac

An interesting address to the local Broth
erhood of st. Andrew was delivered last
night at st. Johns Church by Rev. George
H. McGrew, assistant rector of st. Bar
tholeniew's, New York Bishop Satterlee
introduced the speaker, who dealt with the
problem of bringing young men within the
influences of the gospel. He emphasized
mis- remarks by giving statistics showing
the neglect of religion on the part of
young men. Seven-tenths of the criminals
were native born Americans, he said, and
seventy per cent CT the convictS in peni-
tentiaries were young men. He discussed
the causes of the startling increase in
crime. which. he said, was due partly to
heredity. partly to the increase in popu-
lation in cities and the consequent evil
associations and temptations. the influence
of the saloon and even the laXity of the
church itself. In conclusion, he urged
greater activity on the part of the brother
hood IT its work among young men.
