What you’re looking at

This page primarily contains miscellaneous editorial commentary rather than a cohesive political cartoon. The visible cartoon depicts a hotel or boarding house scene with a man in a top hat attempting to rent a room. The caption references "a speaking tube" and suggests wordplay about hearing someone talk—likely a mild domestic humor joke about eavesdropping through building communication systems. The text snippets address various topics: Miss Folsom's inheritance, the Panama Canal's completion, Daniel Fanshaw's cartoon prize, and Canadian-British relations regarding fishing vessels. Most commentary appears light and gossipy rather than hard political satire. Without clearer visual identification of specific caricatured figures or dated references, the deeper satirical intent remains unclear from this page alone.

IN SEVERAL PLACES the 30th of May is men- tioned as the day we didn’t decorate. Tue man prices of physicians of late years bring to mind tho old saying, “ Physician, heel thyself.” Nopopy CaN TELL who the coming man is, but John O'Brien may be mentioned with great certainty as the man who has arrived. Latest From Dan Lamont on the Cleveland nuptials—“‘If you come around me with that question again I'll hit you with a brick.” Miss Fotsom, having fallen heir toa large property, has wept her pretty eyes nearly out because she didn't spend more money on that bridal trousseau. InasMucH as Miss Holt of Georgia is one of the wealthiest ladies of her stata, we judge that the story of her coming marriage to Sec- retary Lamar is true—at least that the Hon. Mr. Barkis is willing. Tue House near Washington that Mr. Cleve- land hasn't bought is probably the quaintest and most comfortable in all that locality. Mr. Cleveland must run up and see it himself some day. It will amuse him THE ADMINISTRATION is so calm and placid over the seizure of American fishing vessels by Canadian vessels that it is really a question whether Canada shall not annex and take charge of the United States. ‘THe heaviest fighting between the Greeks and Turks a week ago occurred at Turnovo; and as both sides wanted an armistice directly at its close it was evident that there was a gen- eral desire to Turnovo a new leaf. No soover did the Troy laundry girls go on strike than that vicious Jachne went into the laundry business at Sing Sing. We look upon that man as the starch—or rather the arch— cons pirator of this demoralized period. Dio Lewis spent his life trying to teach people how to escape death, and died in his prime. Nevertheless he protested vigorously. “T consider this a brutal outrage!” were his first words when he got on the other side. “What did you want to takea man by sur prise in that beastly way fort” So mucu is said about Miss Folsom as the heir of Grandfather Folsom that the death of the good old man unavoidably has the appear ance of a joyous event. It might be well for the too voluble daily paper to look at death more respectfully, especially as this would not lessen the amount of the windfall. “* ALL PROPERTY being robbery,” according to Most, it is folly for Most, according to the Pittsburg Despatch, to whine about his loss of $180 at the hands of the police. It is impossi- ble to decide in this case until it is known who Most stole the money from and what the char- acter of that man’s means to robbery was. M. Rovsseav tells the French government that the Panama canal cannot be completed at the time advertised, but M. de Lesseps says that’s a small matter. Perhaps the fact that it will never be completed by a foreign govern- ment is a small matter too; but the little $120,- 2%] 000,000 that M. de Lesseps wants will not be furnished just the same. Ir 18 WorTH mentioning that Mr. Daniel Fanshaw, who won the prize of $100 offered by JupcE for the best idea for a cartoon, isa street-car conductor and one of the “extra” men on a Brooklyn line. He is not an artist, and this is the first thing of the kind he ever did; and to show that ideas for cartoons are not as plentiful as might be imagined it may be added that of the scores sent us there were very few, good as Mr. Fanshaw’s is, that were worth the slightest consideration. THE ART OF THE CEMETERY. There have been no changes in styles for decorating graves that can be recalled at this moment. The wreath has commemorized the close-fisted man and the philanthropist alike; the anchor has served for the land-lubberas well as the sailor, and the cross for the atheist as well as the believer. Our artist thinks the time has come for reform with respect to graves and their adornment, and his suggestions may certainly be accepted as a someth::.g more or less akin to propriety. The fiddler of history who temporarily sawed for a panorama pro- duced “A life on the ocean wave” when the Savior appeared walking the water, and “ Rake her down, Sal,” when the canvas presented the stately figures of a minuet. He was dis- charged as a person of too realistic a nature to understand the niceties of musical discretion; but this will never be the fate of our artist, who is equipped in his decorative suggestions at every pencil-point. SOME HOURS OF MR. BLAINE. The proposition that Canada rules the local as Britain does the general wave is not to be admitted without protest, and the protest should be as vigorous as Blaine would make it were he in Bayard’s place.
