# Explaining This Page of *Judge* Magazine This page contains three satirical pieces: **"Two Very Much-abused Politicians"** mocks Representatives Keifer (Ohio) and Robeson (New Jersey). The satire suggests these congressmen were mutually blamed for unpopular speeches—apparently each claimed the other wrote his remarks. Judge ridicules them for escaping accountability by shifting blame, while noting voters will likely punish Keifer by removing him from office next session. **"A Harmless Ghost"** eulogizes the recently deceased Thurlow Weed, a prominent 19th-century political operative. Judge sardonically suggests Weed—known for ruthless maneuvering—promised deathbed revelations that never materialized. The "harmless ghost" joke implies his legacy proved less scandalous than anticipated, disappointing those seeking posthumous exposés of political corruption. **"The Working of the New Sunday Code"** (partially visible) appears to discuss proposed Sunday legislation, likely mocking religious reformers' attempts to restrict weekend activities. The magazine combines political mockery with commentary on contemporary governance debates.
