The hog men are very busily at work
circulating petitions to the city council
praying for the repeal ofthe hog ordinance
] They claim that the poor men Of tn, city

hogs can make their pork clear if allowed
to quarter their hogs on the public.
Which is all very fine in theory; but, we
we protest, that the non.hog-owning part
of our popn alton have rights as well as
the hog men, and tho council should not
disregard them.
The railroad question having been dis
posed Of, now for the hog question. Ought
hogs to be permitted to run at large in the

Three hundred dead hogs, owed by
nobody, have been carted out of the city
in single month at the public expense.
Every month, from ten . fifty defunct
porkcrs are put, at the pnblic expense, into
their little beds. Besides this, these pub
lic-rnnning hogs destroy fences and gar
dens, ana the owner of the property in
jured has no way in which he can rscer-
tain who the owners of the misch evous
hogs are. In the face of these tao :, tho
hog owners are moving to secure 20 re-
peal of the present hog-mpounding ordi-
nance, aud profess their ability to obtain
the signatures Of majority of the voters
of the town to petitions containing pray
er for its repeal. Well, suppose they do ?
OF course the council will repeal the pres
ent ordinance, but it should Immediately
pass another ordinance containing pro-
visions that will enable an officer, when
he meets hog, to know its owner, and
thus have the man stand responsible for
his hogs. How can this be done? By en-
acting an ordinance providing that any
hog owner may permit his hcgs to run at
large If he will first mark tn EN- and file
with the clerk of the city u description of
SAID mark, and II statement Of the number
he owns. Further, that all hogs running
AZ large not marked shall be captured and
impounded, and the owner. if found. fined
