Fresh Air and Ventilation,

The average amount of air breathed
by every person is about 24lcubic inches
AT each breath, with 20 respirations a
minute. This would be cubic foot in
three minutes and a. half, or 400 cubic
feet in "a hours. or the contents of a
room seven feet square and eight feet
high. But this is only fiftieth part
of what every healthy person needs
for breathing vitiates the air rapidly
because the air exhaled has 100 times
as much carbolic acid gas as the at-
mOsphere, while twice the amount
contained in the atmosphere, or eipht
parts in ten thousand is as large a pro.

WE publish this week the letter of
Hon. M, D. Harter, of Mansfield, O.,
Senator John Sherman to
a Joint discussion of the tariffquestion,
There is NO question connected with
American politics of more interest and
importance to the people, and none
that is generally SO little understood.
1t is one that is fast crowding to the
front, and the people will soon be called
upon to pass their verdict upon its
merits, and they should be prepared
to make an intelligent and just decis-
ion. Senator Sherman is regarded as
one of the ablest and best posted Pro-
tectionists in the country, and it is
hoped he will accept the Invitation to
discuss the subject with Mr.. Harter OF
some of the able gentlemen named by
him. Such discussion could not fail
to be productive of beneficial results
Mr.. Sherman surely should not finch
after having raised the question in his
speeches during the late contest.

THE official canvass of the vote of
Hamilton county has been completed,
and shows the election of the entire
Democratic legislative ticket. The
Republicans are resorting to every
conceivable means to thwart this yer
diet of the people expressed at the
ballot box, but they will hardly sue
ceed. The legislature, notwithstand-
ing the result in Hamilton county,
will be Republican on joint ballot by
about three majority. The Democrats
having a majority of three in the Sen
ate, will prevent the Republicans from
recognizing the State institutions, re.
districting the State, and raising sheol
generally. About the only harm they
can do is to elect John Sherman or
Charley Foster to the United States
Senate, and that is quite enough.

revolutionary.

The Cincinnati Evening Telegram
says this in regard to the revolutiona-
ry methods by which the Republican
managers attempt to carry out their
purpose:
1.-The proceedings before Judge
Buchwalter are as novel as any that
have ever taken place before court
in Ohio.
1t is gravely asserted by lawyers
that a Common Pleas Judge should
issue an injunction restraining the
Clerk of the Court from canvassing
the returns made to him. But the
shameful part is that those lawyers do
not conceal that they are using the
court before whom they appear as a
bridge to span forty eight hours OF
time-in order that they may reach
another Judge, who, the paper edited
by one of the counsel engaged says,
was sent for in hot haste, he living in
Wilmington. Before this second court
a writ of mandamus has been applied
for, to compel the clerk to issue the GER
tificate to persons not appearing to
have the majority of the votes on the
face of the returns. The constitution
and the laws say that the Senate and
the House of Representatives are the
sole judges of the election and qualifi
cations of their own members. 1t may
be that the members receiving the
highest number of votes ON the face OF
the returns were not legally elected
We incline very much to the belief
that they were not. But that is not q
question for the courts to determine.
1t is, as has been remarked, solely q
question for the Senate. For courts
to attempt to interfere in such ques-
tion would be as much of an illegal
invasion of the Jurisdiction of another
body as would be an attempt on the
part of the Assembly to try divorce
case.
"Such interference is approaching
the methods that distinguished the
New York Courts few years ago il
is more; it borders on Mexicaniza
tion."
