REBUKED BY THE PRESIDENT. A DtachartH Pmi Oflei* Clerk Complains mmI in Answered. Thomas Parker, an employe of the Brooklyn post office, was discharged by Postmaster Hendrlx September 1. The postal officials in referring to his discharge, said that every department superintendent under whom Parker had worked reported him as satisfactory. The postmaster hod removed him to appoint a man who had passed the civil service examination, and who was selected as a special delivery messenger by the tOrmer postmaster. Parker prescuted his ct^e to George William Curtis, and in reply Mr. i nrtls sdid: "The removal is an act of discretion on the part ot the postmaster, and unless thftre is evidence that there is ? aross and flagrant wrong, and that a perfectly satisfactory clerk has been removed for improper reasons, neither the President nor Postmaster General could be expected to reverse the decision. If the postmaster should say that In his opinion you were negligent or inefficient, or anything else, and thai the interest ot the service seemed to htm to require a change, you cau see that the President could not require specific evidence to determine whether the discretion ol the postmaster was exercised wisely. Mr. Curtis turlUer said ttiat It would not be possible for the President Co consider every Individual case. "If, however, you arc conscious thai your removal is wholly causeless and an abuse of the postmaster's authority, I advise you to tile your protest, with evidence, at tne department." Parker to the president. Parker thereupon concluded to attract the President's attention in the matter by enclosing Mr. Curtis' letter with a letter of his own, saying: "After twenty-two years of honest and falilitul service in tne Brooklyn post office and ten j ears as a soldier, with an honofaule discharge, I havo beeu removed without a moment's no ice from the Brooklyn post office. The excuse given is incompetency. I am au American aud the man who has taken my place is au Irishman, a Catholic, and cannot speak the language ot our couutry. Tnis is indeed ?_ivil service with u vengeance. If Americans must take a back seat lei toe ones in trout be anything else but lorelguers."' THE PRESIDENT TO PARKER. The President replied as follows: "M* Dear SXr: I And your letter ot the 16th instant awaiting my return to the Executive Mansion. Your exceedingly ill-uatured reference to the Irishman' and tne 'Catholic, who vou say has succeeded lo your position,detracts verv largely, I think, from the claims yon base upon *tweutv?two years of honest and faithtui services in'the Brooklyn post office aud ten years as a soldier, with au honorable discharge,' and demonstrates that you tiave but little luea 01 the impartial treatment due to American citizenship. You seud tne a newspaper ciipplug coniaiutng a published letter written to you by George William Curtis, wliicu contains so much good sound seuse upon tne general subject ol the removal ofsuborduialesby their immediate superiors that I commend it lo your caretui reperusal." - ^ FRIESTDH OF THE BEUSHIXfl. Tbey Fotop Civil service Rclorm in Agency Appointment*. There was a lively breeze in the Indian convention at Lake Mohonk yesterday over the resolutions which, alter eulogizing President Cleveland for ills interest in the education aud ultimate citizenship ol the Indians aud his revocation of the order opeuiug to white settlers the Crow Creek rese. vatlon, declare that within tne last two years general changes in agents and their subordinates have been made, and thai many ol the most experienced men in the service have thus been lost. The conlerence accordingly recommends the immediate application of the principles of civil service retoim to lUe eutire ludiau service. This canned a Spirited discussion. Erastus Brooks, ot >ew *ork, aud President Ladd,oi Santa Fe, warmly opposed the resolution reiemug to wholesale changes in ludiau ageuts. Mr. .Ladd thought tuat cuauges were irequently desirable, aud thai thef, would bej?o use lulAavingparties n tU^re'fflW'boOfflWr u> (ftlPWfc. Mr. Brooks opposed tne resolution because ue could not see that it couid do auy goou to the cause, tie could not see the consistency iu praising the President iu one resolution and coudeuiniug him in auotUer.

Mr. Chaplin Severely OltirUM CkarekIll's Hrogriiiii. Spccial Cable Dispatch to The Evknws star London, Oct. l&.-Tbe attitude of the tory party on Churchill's new program U shown t>y a signed urllcls by Mr. Chaplin published today. ChapJlu represents the old tory party. It will be remembered be was crowded oat by C.'burchfll when the present cabinet formed, on the policy of maintaining the union with the unionists unimpaired. He says the government of the country was thereby absolutely handed over to Lord Hartingtou's parly. On the gov ernmeut's intention to "endeavor to lay the foundations of a system of popular local government in Ireland" at the next session ot parliament, be cju.?tes Hicks-lieneh as saying last January thai the condition of Ireland was uot, in the opinion ol the government, lavorable lor the consideration of local government there. Chaplin prefers to stand by his earlier opinion. As tor freehold piots, 11 they mean > allotments lie >upp iris them; it, as advocated by Jessecallings, they mean email holdings he opposes them. * OS THE QUESTION OF CLOSt~RE he declares that Churchill's proposal to estab* lish it by a bare majority would lead to serious dissensions in tbe tory party. It would, be says, do immense uii?cbiet and be Ineffective as a remedy. The ?ulegu irds sugge-ted are wholly illusory. Considering thai in ihe recent elections the conservative increase of strength iu the boroughs has been 22 i>er rent, In the counties 34 per cent, and that tuere are In the commons 136 tory county members, against lo5 borough members, the attitude o. ? man like Chaplin will constitute a htguly important factor iu the councils ot the government. THE KSriUHTH* (OXVEXTI05. A Long Keport on the Southwestern Mrike Inqiiiv). Richmond, Va., Oct. lo.?When the general assembly oi th% Kuights of Labor went into session this morniug at 9 o'clock the first lutsl- ' ness to be completed was the election of the i remaining general ottic rs, two members ot the general co-operative board. It was expected ttiat this wouid take but a short time and that the consideration ot the report ou the revision of the constitution presented by the committee on law would be resumed. Tuis lu turn was to followed by reports from other committees, nearly all oi which are ready. Amonc the tirst to be preseuted is the report of the committee ou the state of the order, of which Kaiph Beaumont is chairman. This report endorses the report of tne com mil lee on legislation, oi which Beaumont is also cnairmau, and recommends tuat me supplementary report of tbe same committee, in wuicu a plan tor a congress composed of representatives o. the Kniglits ot Labor be established at Washington, be sent out to to all local assemblies ior tuelr approval. Mr. Beaumont is daily in receipt ot letters, both irom Knights ot Labor and uiners,commending his idea. THE SOUTH WESTERN STRIKE INQUIRY. ' The coinuiiiiee on tue ?t? te oi the order also endorses tue general master workman's address to the general assembly and recommends the eudoiscment ot toe report ofCuarles H. LItcutuan, special agent appoiuied by the general master workman to represent the order belore tue Congressional committee appointed to investigate the cause and etlect ot tue Soutn western railroad strikes. In Uis report Mr. Lllchiuan recites that beariqns were ueld at various places iu Texas aud Arttansas, and says: "The testimouy in benali ol tue rail* roau was mainly to suow wuat great damage had been caused by the strike to rauroad aud commerce; that it had beeu begun on a frivolous pretext. Aiitiout real cause, and tuat the order ol the Kniguts of Labor was directly responsible for ali damage done aud ail acts of violence committed. With the unlimited re sources at their command it was comparatively ' easy ior tne railroad officials to CAKEFCLUY DRILL THI".IK WITNESSES in a line ot statements waich suouid hi each other, aud litis preliminary drilling was paiuluily apparent in tne testimony given.

Couciuui> g his report, Mr. Litciiman says: "Tue testimony olotner wituesses at various places was corroborative ot tuat of Brotuer Hoi its, aud snowed conclusively the extsteuce of valid reasous of complaint and a system of PETTY TY RANDY OK THE PART OV THE BAILROAD under-boeses which was beyond the power of human loroearauce to paueutly endure. Ail turougb the iuvestigatiou one l.tCt was ptaiuty snown, wnlch could uot fail to gain the admiration oi all, aud mat was the uuswerviug loyalty ot members in obedience to the orders o: their superiors wneu the uord to strike came. In many iusiances the question was asked, 'Would you strike a train under similar circumstances?' 'Most assuredly. yes,' was the untalteriug reply. I cannot but think ats the re?utt of my iuvestigatiou, that the railroad company bad lis spies iu our assemblies, and was miiy informed ol every move made and the action contemplated: Kuomiuic tuat tne discontent existing would soon provoke a conflict, the company quietly massed a large surplus ot help lu tuat section and held tuem in readiues Cur au emergency. The company was better prepared tuau the men. DID THE ENGINEERS BACK OCT? I have no uouot that the cltiiii ol Brother Hollis was correct that the Knights had good reason to believe the engineers would Join them, for a prominent railroad official told me fiersouaily that the road iuiiy expected that the euglneers would join tne Knignts, and hud quietly arranged to oring engineers, irom a distance lo lake their pUce*.

It U easy euougu now to say that the strike was lll-tinied, in-advlsed aud badly managed. It is easy euough now to make Martiu Irous a scapegoat anu say be ordered the strike without autuority; but the truth is that every local assembly voted to give tbe district board power to demand un adjustment ot tbegriev* auees complained oi anu the reinstatement of Brother HalL li the board erred in actiug prematurely aud without proper consultation wits tue geuerai executive board, or the knowledge ot tue resources they could command to carry on tbe striae, tbe disastrous laiiur* of the strike Is sufficient punishment, without any harsh criticism from me.
