with that fatal fondness for doing the
wrong thing at critical time, which has
become part of all democratic policy and pro-
ccdure, the grand old party yesterday in con-
vention for tbs state of Pennsylvania slapped
the Ohio democratic tariff plank into its plat
form. more comprehensive statement of
nothing at all than this plank is
docs not exist under the bending heavens
Its sole attractivenoss would seem to be that
it is an "Oho idee' and tho infatuation of
the democratic party with idecs from that
state is only oqualcd by the intensity of that
opposite feeling with which u burned child
regards fire.
1t was an Ohio "ideo" that led the demo-
cratic party to the whipping post in the state
elections of 1875, 1877, and 1873. The green
back foolcry got poor old Bill Allen punished,
and drove back the only forward movement
the democratic party had made since before
the war. 1t was as popular as whisky, anda
bad rs a shower Of bricks. 1t got them into
trouble everywhere.
So it is now with the tariff The Ohio
ideo" that if the tariff question can only be
straddlel it will carry the democratic party
right through has met with moro general
favor than the circus mans invitation to ride
tho elephant generally finds among small
boys. There is q regular rush TO sit up along
side Of Ohio. One of those autumn days the
tariff animal will wigglo his hide, and there
will be a dreadful spill When this happens
the Pennsylvania democracy will be in sad
need of a mud hole to drop in, for of all
places on earth where equivocation on the
Ohio plan will never do, Pennsylvania is prob
ably the hardest.

Conversion OF a Corenn Noblemnn.

Letters have recently reached the Ameri-
can Bible society from their agent in Japan,
conveying the intelligence of the conversion
of two Coreans one of whom, named Riutei,
is q person of high rank in his own land.
He is an intimate personal friend of the
king of Corea. When the rebellion occurred
in that country year ago, Rijutei saved the
life of the queen, and the king offered as n
reward to give him any rank or honors he
desired. His reply was, 81 only ask to be
permitted to go to Japan in order that may
study and see the civilization of other lands"
He came not as an official, but to study in
private.
Following tho advice of a former embassa-
dor from Corea, ho called upon Christian
japanese to learn about Christianity. He
was deeply impressed with the truth, and was
very soon converted and baptized. Rijuteis
great desire is to give the Bible to his people,
and he was filled with joy when he learned
what the American Bible society had done
for other lands and was also ready to do for
Corea. He has entered upon the work of pre-
pairing Chino-Oorean version, with great
zeal.
Having been recently urged to return home
he replied, :" have very important work
to do here; have found something that is
better for me and for our people than rail.

his colleagues only wish to keep up small but
select party, just big enough to hold the federal

which he calls All address to the republicans of
Virginia, is all about office office office There
is nothing about principle in 1t and Mr. Dezen-
dorf has no principles. On the other hand, Ma
hone and the readjusters represent what there is
of progress in Virginia. They 30 in for universal

Stand the only barrier in the way OF the eternal

would, if they could, remand Virginia to the days

printing presses in that part of the country. We
think the success of the policies advocated by the

Mr.. Dana Is Invited.

1t is well that the President did not have
to get Mr.. Danus permission before starting
on his western trip. When Mr.. Dana first
heard of the Presidents proposed visit to the
west he violently opposed it, and, in fact, said
he couldn't go. Upon further reflection, how
ever, Mr.. Dana changed his mind and very
gracefully gave his consent. A few days
later he changed his mind again, and
now that the President has actually
started, he is vigorously urging it as a reaS N
why tho republican party must go. Mr..
Dana is also very much put out because mem
bers of the cabinet are out of town, although
the Sun has thus far failed to show q single
instance in which the public business has
been delayed by their absence. Mr.. Dana
does not come to Washington very often, but
if he will como over The RE-
PUBLICAN, which is always here, will
see that he has prompt attention, and that all
business, public or private, in which he may
feel interested will be promptly. vigorously,
and effectively transacted, just as though
every member of the administration was on
hand-or just as though the republican party
didn't have to go.
