The latest Englishman who has
written book on America, Mr.. A. S.
Hill, was amused TO see in the
waiting-room at the Minneapolis sta
ton this inscription posted conspicu-
ously on the wall: "Gcntlemen will

not to spit on the floor" The admoni-
ton seems, however, to have received
but little attention. In hotel in the
same city--a small and very unclean
one it is said to have been-this notice
was posted over the jack-towel hung up
for the convenience of those who
wished to prepare themselves for din

HUGH CONWAY'S
LAST MANUSCRIPTS

We have great satisfaction in announcing
that the LATEST MANUSCRIPTS of the
lamented HUGH CONWAY have been Sc
cured by us for EARLY PUBLICATION in
the columns of THE SUNDAY JOURNAL.
They consist of three SHORT STORIES, and
are the only unpublished Short Stories of this
eminently popular author Of "Called Back"
Their titles are as follows:

MiSfit Ministers.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

fHIIdueIpHIa IIMes.
Misft ministers are to day the greatest
stumbling block to the progress of true religion.
They furnish the whole stock in trade of %scoffers
like Ingersoll, and they do more to teach disre,
spect for religion than all the other inventions of
the devil. 1t is not to be assumed that in all
church scandals and other disputes over minis
tiers, the minister is at fault; but it is seldom
that there can be a strong church smoke of that
kind without some fire, and when the usefulness
of a minister is ended in a particular field of
labor from any cause, his pastoral labors should
be transferred to some more congenial and
promising flock.

A Lady Scares burglars with a Horn.
Meadyille pa Tribune.

a plucky young lady, residing in this city,
about 2 A. NJ. hearing some persons, whom she
supposed to be burglars or robbers. trying to
gain All entrance into the house through the
back door, gently arose and placing a tin horn
against the key hole blew the horn for all there
was in it, whereupon the would-be burglars lit
out at the fastest possible gait. In less than two
minutes the whole neighborhood was aroused
and two policemen, VINO heard the horn, immed-
lately put In an appearance and searched the
neighborhood, but no one was found, the tramps
having escaped through the back way on hearing
the first toot of the horn. There was no one in
the house at the time but the young lady and
her mother and the formers act was, therefore,
all the more courageous.

No. 1 was printed on Sunday, Aug. %.
and Nos. 2 and 3 will follow in succession.
We may add that the stories are written in
Hugh Conway's vivid and graphic style, the
situations are most effective, the current
problems of social relations and varying phases
of domestic life worked out in them are in
tensely interesting, and the characters leave
the reader with distinct impressions such as
are caused by people Of striking personality in
actual life.
The appropriateness Of this intervention in
the existing arrangements for our Serial Lit
erature will be self-evident. The recent Ia
mentable and all too early decease of the
brilliant novelist naturally excites great in
terest in the work he has left behind, and
calls for it's publication as soon as practicable
We shall, therefore, defer the completion Of
the Octave Of Short Stories by Distinguished
Authors in order that the trio left by HUGH
CONWAY may be commenced in our columns
at the earliest date.
On September 81 the publication of the
Octave of Short Stories will be resumed by
WILKIE COLLINS, and continued by stories
from the pens of RHODA BROUGHTON and
THOMAS HARDY.

Eleventh-The Republican party of Iowa. while
steadily unfolding the right and duty of the State to
regulate the traffic in liquor by such methods as will
suppress most of its evils. has never maize the sup
port of prohibition a test of party fealty. 1t pledged
which the people of Iowa, at a non-partisan election,
fairly held, had demanded by an unauestioned
majority, that came alike from the votes of Repub-
lcans and Democrats. We declare now for a
fair and thorough trial of that law, that it
may have time to demonstrate its efficiency or prove
its lneficlency before it is repealed, to give way to
some other honest and earnest method in the line of
finding a true and successful system of dealing with
the liquor traffic. We arraign and condemn the Dem
ocratic party of Iowa for its action in declaring for a
gardless of local opinion: for legalizing again in
Iowa the sale of whisky and all other alcoholic liquors,
and for removing all restrictions from saloons, giving
a freedom in the liquor traffic that has not existed in
Iowa for thirty years.
Twelfth-We hold steadily to the doctrine of con-
troll and regulation of railways by the people, as first
established by Republican law in Iowa, which was
finally approved by the Supreme Court of the United
States. This principle gives to the General Assembly
power to regulate State commerce and to Congress the
regulation. of Interstate commerce. Under Republican
rule and Republican methods the cost of transporting
produce has been decreased from three cents per ton
per mile: in 1870, to eight mills per ton per mile in
1850. We are opposed to all unjust and arbitrary
determinations, poolings and combinations, which
prevent legitimate competition or work injustice to
communities or individuals in the State. The full
measure of prosperity for the agricultural, manufact-
uring, commercial and mining interests of our State
depends upon just and impartial service by the great
railway systems operating within its borders and
holding their corporate privileges under its statutes,
and any policy OF railway management designed TO
embarrass any single industry of our Commonwealth
for the direct benefit of corresponding interests else
whore is a fit subject for legislative inquiry and cor
rection. We favor the creation by Congress of a ma
tIonal commission TOR the supervision and regulation
