Both sides of the National house are
fighting shy Of the tariff issue, and as q
consequence but little is hear Of the ques-
ton. We are inclined to think, however,
that this is only the calm before the
storm. Randall. or fennsy ~lyania, is a
high tariff democrat and will force his
party, with republican a,dinto taking de-
cidcd position, and if they adhere to the
doctrines and traditions Of the democrat
ic party with their usual tenacity the
party viii be sure to array itself on the
Free Trade side, and thus render repub-
lican success a certainty in 1884. Much

there are no regular systems of artiti-
cial ventilation employed. Ventilat-
ing fans are almost unknown, and
even a furnace is curiosity. The
mine law of the State is crude, and
the territory under Mr.. veazy's
supervision so extensive that he COM
plains that the operators can if they
choose refuse to adopt any improve
