years. Mr.. Russell was away from home

DEMOCRATIC INCOMPETENCE.
The New POstofice Building at Baltimore q
Piece Of BOtch- Work from Cellar to Roof.

BALTIMORE. Md, May ia local paper
to-day publishes an article directed against
the contractors of the new postoffice build
ing in Baltimore and the late superin-
tendent, j. Crawford Nelson, who was
appointed by President Cleveland four
years ago. Nelson was removed three
weeks ago and his predecessor, Jackson
Holland. reinstated. The building was
begun in 1882 and is nearly completed.
Holland says the work was not done
satisfactorily, but his predecessor &C
copied 1t. Several contractors were paid
last fall; others have not and will not get
any money until they fill their contracts
according to specifications He says the
building is botch from roof to cellar. Ac-
cordlng to contract the basement floor
should hav been gravel concrete, topped
with two inches of Portland cement. In
stead of this. coal ashes aud shavings were
used. covered with an inch of Cumberland
cement. The area-ways are not graded,
and every rain makes pools of water six
inches deep on the uneven surface. he has
condemned the sewerage also. Terra Gotta
pipe had been used instead of iron.
The marble ork, done by David
son g. Bro, of Chicago, is char
acterized as disgraceful and for the
enormous sum the government paid it, it
has received the worst work of the kind
probably ever done in the country. The
arches over the doorways are made from
odds and ends, and are of every variety of
finish. The work in one room alone will
have to be replaced at cost or perhaps
$4,000. The roof of the building leaks like
the building. Basement windows have
marble stills from two to six inches short,
and the steps on the iron staircases are two
inches short.

slavery in other countries, yet in India the
British government sits by with folded
hands while father is permitted with i'm
punity TO sell in marriage an infant daugh-
ter OF eight years TO man OF torty-seven,
already rendered notorious by his marital
tyranny. This child wife is then segregated
from the cOmpanionship Of her own sex,
and Is so prosecuted and terrorized that,
child as she is, she is driven to attempt SUI.
eide rather than continue to submit herself
odious intimacy of her so-called husband.
And yet. the British magistrate Is COM
PEELED to state in open court that he has no
power to restrain revolving oppression OF
this character, as it is justified by the law"
This protest is made apropos of the recent
charge against Holkar's son-in-law. The
case of Ruikmabi who is now in England,
shows another phase of the same evil. 1t
has been pointed out to Rao that there is
no reason to despair of a change in the
centuries ago the. age at which children
were married would now be regarded as a
scandal.
Mary, Countess of Buccleuch, married at
the age. of eleven, The affair caused
placed under the charge of General Monk
and his wife until the Commissary Court
passed Judgment, which they did by multi
Tying the marriage on the ground that the
Scotch law fixed the manageable age at
twelve for girls and fifteen for boys.
Several stranger instances of child mar
riages in Lancashire and Cheshire are
cited. The daughter of that grave and
reverend prelate. Bishop ,Chaderton. was
ceremony she had to be held up at the
altar. The remembrance that such an in
cident .unreproved was possible in. Good
Queen Bess's golden days" may make Rao
hope that forces now at work will put an
end to child-marriage in India and to all
the cruelty which the system involves.
