KANSAS OKH1IAI.S M.lltltHH. J'he New York Sun gets very sar castic upon receipt of a telegraphic dispatchth.it Kansas state ollicials had enjoyed themselves at an asy lum entertainment. It poured out the vials of its sarcasm ns lollows; "Why docs the dispatches from Topeka take tho trouble to report the l.icl that tho state nllicera of Kansas went to a concert at the Topeka insane asylum tho other night? Where else should the state olliccrs of Kansas go? What icipal "l'"'r mrroiindings would bo more .1; .i. i congenial to them? What other guests would be more warmly wel comed ny 1 1 io "inmates w ho were permitted on the lloor, and half of the women indulged in the dance?"

The police M-rviee has het-n almo't faultless; not a single business house has l.euii rohiied duiiiiL' the past to years. At reiplest l olllei rs tlie eiur and tobaceo stores liuve generously closed their doors on Suinlavs. There has been only 47 arrests since my last annual message, and of this numher only 0 were for drunkenness, breaking all former records. I submit that this is a most reumrkanle record, es ieeially when we consider the great excitement and crowds in the city necessarily attendant upon the elee lions of a presidential year. I think can justly attribute this to the care and ability of the marshal and nightwutch who have keen ut all times on hand ami reaily to check and pieveut crime rather than to make arrests f fees. I have always advised them to tills count, because I lielieve an fume of preventative is worth a pouud cure, l teel that I cannot now too highly commend the. n for their tfllci eney in the faithful discharge of their duties. If thev have made mistake lam partly to blame, for they hav tried to faithfully follow my iustruc tions. I am under many obligations to them. BAWPV HOiSKs. It affords me much pleasure to in firm you that all bawdy houses with in the limits of the city have been stir pressed; till was made Mis.sible hy Hie high moral character of ourcitieiis. I.ieilTS AND WATKK. We have efficient systems of lights ami water, owned and controlled by private corporations. I submit that the city should own It own system of water works and electric lights, be cause it now takes about one half of all the revenues of tlie city to purchase Its lights ami water, and at a total cost of about H.tKKi per annum.

In my last annual message I r. cnn- IllPUded that great care lie exercisen touching Hie cil.-'s tlnances, owing to tlie great depreciation in tlie value til properly, ami tlie i sequent decline in the amount of th revenues of the city, it was demanded, and abaolutelv iiecessary to make considerable deduc tion in tile expendilurts In order that the burdens of lax iiion might rest as lightly as possit.leon the iope. The council is to be congratulated thai on account of thir w ise and eco inimical nmn:ij;e'm.nt r eitv's ex penditures, our most sanguine hopes have been more than real zed as w ill apiear from the follow ing: The inceii.e irotii license for in. l'ropositlon of MrCroner to sprinkle yt"lr '"dmg .Mnl 1st, Kits, was Ti.-t Salem Statesman says the state treasury is tilling up with lund.i and is anxious for a special se -ion to make appropriations, Ti.c treasury would not fill up if the i .unity boards would exercise good sound horst) sens-j and send the - :ute sullicient funds onlv for run i .ng expenses keeping the sur plus .it home to pay otf county in deb'e Iness.

With prices depresseil, all incomes reduced, and all property value, diminished, public expenses must is- lowered corresindlngly. As individuals we have all found it nee-es-ary to economize. So must a city eeo.iouiiz-, tor It is only an aggrega tion ol individuals and Individual in-ti-re-ts. We uni-t imt only lar this in mind in o'ir coll-etive W. lk as a coun cil, but it i- pariieiilady necessary for Voileiiehto make economy a Sclal . ... I . t ..I care ami slii'iy in inai ne.Biiiiit-ni ... city bii-iie-ss over which you will pr side ii chairman of a committe . And this leads me to remark that much of your success as cmincihiieii will depend upon the amount of per sonal attention you give to whatever vml may undertake in tlie interests of the city. It does not take great In tellectual ability to be a good council man, hut it d'M-s take faithfulness lo j the intere-le of the public. Most any 'iisim-M man is coiiis-ient to decide any tpiestinii intelligently, that may be brought before you for Solution. Jtut there are only a few men who are will ing to devote enough time to their particular department of the work of the city, to make a first class council mini. In aeeep'.ing this public trust, you voluntarily assume an obligation to the city to sacrilh'e a large amount of your time, ami much of your per onnl comfort, for tlie general good of the public. I tin not think you will prove recreant to the trust. While tlie present oflli'ers and conn oil may not go down 'o history as 'be originators of any great work, or the prosecutors of any brilliant scheme, I hojie we shall ls accounted worthy of comiiieiiilatioii ill our own day for faithfulness to our duty. I hope that in this mutter, you will lie able to at least earn the reward of a good con- s ienee, for I assure y u that you need expect little else in the way of recompense. As to our fluances I shall oiler no suggestions whatever. I hope that I have selected a committee on finance who will give careful and intelligent consideration to all branches of the subject. As to legislation, it seems to me but little additional is needed. That which is required by tbe natural course of development, and Improvements, will suggest Itself to you front time to time as required. There will, doubt less, be some pressure for legislation along reformatory line. On this point I would advise against hasty action. As a general rule such legia lation means liltle reform. It Is not kmI policy to ctimlsT the ordinance book with laws that area dead letter r lack of public sentiment back of them. I think it is generally conceded that we no huve the most orderly piiet and law-abiding city in the val ley. The message of the retiring mayor lias been complete testimony to this fact. I am unite leadv in n.bnit owever, that we might be be'. er. And I also lealize that our pecmiar ondiiions demand of us that we main- tin i certain pre-eminence lu (he line flaw and order. We have in our midst the priiicinal iiishnni,... ,.i arning in the stale.
