Before disbanding the KING addressed
his subjects, warning them TO exercise
caution in their revels during the re.
maiuder OF the time allotted them by the
Mayor to indulge in the pleasures af'
forded in the city, end not abuse the
confidence placed in them. The messen.
ger, Typhon, was then given the keys OF
the city, with instructions to return them
to the Mayor at midnight, which was
done with royal pomp and dignity, the
Kings faithful subject making the fol-
ing happy illusions to the different mat
tiers which had come under the Kings
observation during his stay in the city:
TYpHoS's SPEECH AND RxCoMMENDA.
TONS.
$40 the Honorable Mayor:-ln accor-
dance with the promise given you. that
the keys of the city be returned to your
possession at midnight, thai your
officers may again enter the
city and assume control OF
affairs municipal, and in pursuance
with the commands of our most gracious
Majesty, now render to your keeping
once more the keys of this great metro
polls. They are returned to you with
less regret because your exalted chsrac'
ter is SO universally recognized, and be-
cause we have every confidence that you
will safely guard the interests OF the city
until the next visit of our good King. In
so doing l beg to be permitted to speak
of the excellent order and discipline you
have maintained the past year, and hope
for continuance of the same. Your
magnsnimity has been appreciated by
our lsw-loving people, who have express
ed to the King their hearty approval OF
the course you pursued during the
Kings absence. The good King
has also advised me to state to you that
be should feel that he had not fully dis
charged the duty as sovereign ruler over
the people of the Nail City, were ne to
fail to call your attention to certain mat
tiers of municipal concern, coming under
his observation, which have long
troubled the authorities here, and which,
/ presume, will at once receive your
Honor's immediate attention. The mat
tiers to which the King refers, are;
"The question of having liquor dis
pensarv on the Island, and how to get
j, there, YOU will find very largely dis
cussed. and | believe there is differ
ence of opinion. Ifby employing your
army of corner-statuary and station
house bummers, you can mastlcate what
hogs there are in the city. and forever
nut a summary end to lengthy speeches
in Council on the hog ordi-
nance; if you can clear the wet
earth from our streets, and give
pedestrians the privilege of the pave
ments; build a bridge over CaldweIls
run, and save street car passengers
the dread of fearful death when
crossing that stream; count out
and disfranchlse the small boy who
dared demoish the grand old ruins OF
Washington hall, which looms up as a
monument o: the enterprise of the city,
by throwing u brick at spltz pup
across the way; cleanse the manure
paved alleys in the Seventh ward; bull
doze the Legislature into passing bill
requiring that the capital be fixed In,
stitutioD in some certain city; command
The AUGUST Speaker of the Lower House
of our Legislature to have every small
BOY shot who dare whistle through his
teeth in the gallery; and move the
corner statusry" to some remote ABODE
of rest, you will, your Honor, confer upoR
the Nail City benefits that will cause
posterity to elevate themselves from a
sitting posture, and call YOU blessed.
1t is meet that | should apprise you
that, like any other place the Nail City
has four ends, east, west north ana
south, and that there is much jealousy
between the ends IN Council, and that IN
furtherance of city improvement, 1t Will
be essential that Your Ho: or should
carefully consider the just claims OF each
councilman and not give one hairs
breadth advantage over either OF the
others.
With these suggestions, | now form
ally abdicate my authority.
