ARISTOCRATICLONDONERS
AFFECTED BY THE NEW RULES OF
 THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The Dear Blue Bloods Must Change Many
 Conform to the Action of ''Vulgah Com
 moners, Ne Know."
 LONDON, Feb. 27.-The new rules of pro cedure, the first of which went into opera tion in the house of commons to-day, are of vastly more significance than their collective title implies, the change made by their en- forcement affecting not only the members of the house, but the whole social fabric of ariS- tocratic London. The rule lengthening the sittings at both ends involves the overthrow, for the present, at least, of many of the tra- ditional laws of society with regard to luncheonS, teas, dinners, etc., and conse- quently necessitates the adoption of new rules of procedure in other than parlia- mentary circles. The ease with which MT. Smith obtained the assent of the house to the procedure rules was due in a great measure to the cooperation of Mir. Gladstone, but the theory that they will prevent obstruction is untenable. The Observer, in discussing the effect of the rules, admits that they are in adequate to the purpose for which they were avowedly framed and passed, and says that unless measures shall be adopted whereby the majority is in absolute control of debate the last state of the house of commons will be found to be much worse than the first
 The Salisbury -Bradlaugh Controversy.
 LONDON, Feb. 27.-The row between Lord Salisbury and MT. Bradlaugh over the latter assertion that Lord Salisbury gave his per sonal cheque to aid in the promotion of meet ings of unemployed workingmen ill Trafalgar square in February, 1886, with the ulterior object of reaping political benefit through the disorderly character of the meetings. is coming to a head. Sir Richard Nicholson, Lord Salisbury's solicitor, has written to Mir. Bradlaugh suggesting that the issue be tried by consent, but without pleading, this stipu- lation being intended to prevent either party to the controversy from obtaining political capital through the case. It is probable that MT. Bradlaugh will accept Sir Richards sug- gestions in great part, though it is known that he would very much prefer perfectly open tr al and an exhaustive ventilation of the testimony.

BROTHERHOOD MEN OUT.
THE GREAT STRIKE ON THE C.,
 B. AND O. iNAUGURATED.

The Bremen Stand by the Engineers,
 and Traffic is Generally Suspended on
 the Road-Uncle San,'s Mail Goes
 Through Time.
 CHICAGO, Feb 27.-The anticipated strike of the 1,6OO locomotive engineers and firemen on all lines of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad is now on. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers gave the railroad company thirty-six hours to decide as to whether they would accede to it's demands for a uniform tariff of three and half cents mile on all lines These hours of grace expired at 4 o'clock this morning. The officials refused to come to the proposed terms because they will not have terms dictated to them, and because the greater care necessary on main lines, in their opinion, merits better pay.
 The fight promises to be a hard one between the Brotherhood and the Knights of Labor. The latter still nurse grievance against the Brotherhood asserting that had it's members not aided the railroads in the strike on the Missouri Pacific in 1886, as well as in the more recent Reading troubles, the stril-es would have been effectual. They recall also the ac- tion adverse to their interests of the Broth erhood in the freight handlers strike in Chicago.
 lnc.e was no trouble along the main line or any of it's branches. The trains were simply run to the engineers division where they were abandoned. The trains were immediately manned by Knights of Labor, who came from Pennsylvania, and cd engineers who are foremen in the switch and freight yards along the line. The c. B. and N is not effected by the strike and trains are running regularly on this road. The road is not running passenger trains.
 Just before the time appointed for the strike Trainmaster Hope issued an order that no trains be moved out of Chicago. This indicates that the company are with out engineers. The early morning mail trains left on time and strong effort will be made to run them. Extra police have been placed in the Union depot to prevent trouble. The company expect to run sub urban trains within few days.
 Grand Master Workman Powderly ar rived here this morning and is closeted with Chief Arthur this afternoon, it is sup posed also with the railroad officers in the hope of making settlement.
 At the office of the c. B. & Q. it is said that the situation is not as bad was ex- pected. Most of the trains were aban- doned this morning, but some engineers refused to strike. A number of trains are run with regular men. Officials of the road think the most important trains will be running all right in a few days.

SINCE his nomination General Har :

the crowds are flocking to Indianap
oils. and are growing more enthusiastic
every day. Every speech he has made
has been brimfull of common sense,
lofty Americanism and the purest re-
publicanism. Not q single indiscreet
or impolitic utteranoe has fallen from
his lips through all these weeks Of in
cessant speech-making. No stale repe-
titions; no rehashing of former express
sions; no statement that needs to be
explained or apologized for; not a sem
tence. not word, not q SYLLABLE that
needs correction, revision or change of
any sort. 1t is the most remarkable
record Of continuous speech-making
ever known in the civilized world.
Not even Abraham Lincoln, William
H. Seward, James A. Garfield, or Mr..
Blaine in the campaign of 1884, ever
made SO many speeches of such high
character in succession. Nothing like
it has ever been witnessed in any
country before. And, as the Chicago

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

Editor Register:
I saw by your Leanna correspondent
that some of his neighbors were losing
their hogs by cholera. I intended to
have written before, telling how I
manage to keep my hogs, and I keep
a good many from having the cholera
or any other disease. It is very sim
pie; so simple that some won't use it.
Once or twice q week I build q fire
where feed my hogs. take a load of
cobs and haul the cobs onto it, burn
them go they are charred, sprinkle
salt on them then wet them out with
water. The hogs will eat them greed
lily, often eating the ground where the
fire was. I also SOW patch Of rye as
early in the fall as will do and let them
run in it. They take on fat much ia st.
er and cost about one-third less corn.
I SOW three bushels to the acre, and it
is none too mich.
Hogs should be sailed at least once
a week. Everyone who keeps hogs
should have rye for them to run on.
They should not be allowed to run on
it until it begins to stool.
If this shall be of benefit to any fell
low farmers I shall be paid for the
trouble of writing it.

WHAT GOV. MARTIN SAYS.

Topeka Capital.
Governor Martin returned yesterday
from New York, where he has been
for the past ten days attending the
meeting of the National Soldiers
Home board, The Governor, like all
other republicans who have visited
the east, is very enthusiastic over the
political situation. He talked with
Chairman Quay, Of the Republican
National Committee and with many
other gentlemen who are acquainted
with the situation in New York and
they gave him the most positive as
surances that the Empire State would
go for Harrison. Chairman Quay de-
clared that if the election was held this
week General Harrison would carry
the State by 10000. Quay says that
Harrison is gaining strength every
day in New York, and says that the
result in that State is no longer doubt
full. The Governor says this is the
general feeling throughout the east;
