The HOg-Pcn Ordinance.

The Mayor has not signed the Ordi-
nance and does not seem inclined to do
so.
After the small consideration shown
him by the Councilmen no one can
fairly blame him for manly stand-up
for his rights.
This outside the merits of the matter.
Should he continue to withhold his
authorization he will have the con-
seriousness of knowing that he did right
anyway.
In this event, what is the stotus?
In the JOURNALS undisciplined judg-
ment, the "bluntstrument" is not in

the JOURNAL looked through the Fire

Hon. w. A. Parr, of Navajo county, seems to be made of the right kind of stuff. He believes in the legislature showing off to the best advantage. He intro duced a resolution, which was adopted, prohibiting smoking in the assembly hall during the ses- sion of that body. This is all right. It shows the right spirit. It will prove agreeable to both the members and visitors, especi- ally to the ladies.
