Memphis Mardi Gras Carnival-Edict
nom Momus ii. Rex.
To our Loyal and Beloved Subjects, Greeting
Called 10 the throne in this pleasant
hour Of peace, when prosperity on her
luminous wings encircles our realm from
Pickering TO Chelsea and from Nonconnah
to the confines OF the classic Wolf The
smoke, like sacrifice, asconds In graceful
and curly clouds from thousands and
thousands OF happy homes. Palaces Of
industry, palatial residences, warehouses,
the busy marts OF trade and commerce,
public and private temples OF justice and
charity and the spires OF church and school
and institutions OF usefulness and learning
plentiiully dot our broad and beautiful
domain. Our soil, prolific and kind,
pierced 10 Artesia, responds in glorious and
grateful streams OF crystal and OF life Our
bluffs, fruitful as the olive, Is pcrmcatod
with the oil Of commerce, while the mar
vicious flow of natural gas from innhmera-
BILE living wells, excels the ken Of man and
knocks the record out. Since our Access
sion, property has increased IN value, and
landlords have raised the rents TO the
highest key. Peace rcigns upon our Dor
deB, while hash shows up occasionally.
Chewing gum has superseded the lost art
OF dipping snuff, and the female poker
player Is abroad in the land. No longer
will the servant cook the Sunday
dinner, but has struck for higher
wages and tho fashion plates.
We have consolidated our street cars-and
will bridge the Mississippi. Our railroads
extend TO all points OF the compass, and
the lone star win soon shine upon us.
Vanderbilt has bought ducal estate, and
Gould has swallowed up the Baltimore &
Ohio. Western Unian-sard tho message
must take its way.
We have raised the statue OF liberty and
the anarchists. We have received Clevc-
land and Hidden, and We have buried
Elicit and Montgomery. Manning has
cashed In, and Grant and Arthur have
solved the great mystery. We have elected
Phelan--and nominated Lamar. We have
won the telephone war, but lost the com
presses. Cotton, despite the state OF the
staple and the heavy hand of the commits
sion merchant, still finds ours n pleasant
abiding place. The peace OF Europe trem-
blcs in the balances; William IN his
doiagc, Alexander terrified 10y nihilists,
Victoria afraid OF home rule, and France
withouta O;reyy.' Our royal cousin l.ud-
wig took tumble, Beatrice Gutenberg.
while Unser Fritz has got IL in the neck.
We are at peace with all the powers, and
even Pinch has succumbcd 10 our forces.
And we hereby decree, by the powers in
us vested, that the surplus in the treasury
and the ashes in the alleys he equally dis
tributed among our subjects, and that all
the candidates for political prcierment be
elected. fo
II Is our further command and bchcsi
that all OF our subjects good and true
shall take part In the revelries Of our
Carnival Of Memphis. In witness whereof
we have hero affixed our signei. by the
king, MoNus H., Rex.
Attest: CouST DE- NosEs,
Prime Minister and Cook.
