# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains satirical commentary on contemporary American issues, likely from the 1870s-80s based on references to Egypt and military campaigns. **The cartoons/articles address:** 1. **"American Mules"** - Satirizes England's plan to use captured Egyptian mules in their military operations. The satire mocks the impracticality: mules will buck soldiers, kick to pieces, or bolt to English lines rather than serve as cavalry horses or artillery animals. 2. **"The Last Christian Sign"** - Expresses xenophobic anxiety about Jewish merchants monopolizing New York retail businesses. The author warns that Jewish surnames are replacing Christian ones on storefronts, claiming Jewish merchants are "crowding into all sorts of mercantile lines." 3. **"Concerning Coroners"** - Attacks corrupt coroners (naming David Dudley Field and Oakey Hall), accusing them of theatrical misconduct and using dead bodies for shameless exhibitions to gain publicity. These pieces reflect period prejudices while satirizing military folly and urban corruption through exaggeration and dark humor typical of Judge's editorial approach.
