# "The Acme of Anglo-Mania" Analysis This cartoon satirizes British affectation among wealthy Americans. A standing figure in formal British dress confronts a seated man, demanding "chopped ice, a bottle of soda and some bromide" — supposedly what the seated man needs after attending a dinner where "the prince of Wales" was present. The satire targets American snobbism: the standing figure's exaggerated British mannerisms and formal dress mock those Americans who adopt British customs and speech to appear sophisticated. The joke is that despite this pretentious imitation of British style, the seated character still feels "awfully rocky" (hungover/unwell) — suggesting that affected Anglophilia cannot actually confer genuine refinement or superiority. The title "Acme of Anglo-Mania" directly identifies the target: excessive American admiration for British culture.

That isn’t quite as bad as the penitentiary or the scaffold, but it is a terrible punishment. IT HAS CosT over $200,000 to send two bood- lers to Sing Sing. Let justice be done though every lawyer become a millionaire and the city become bankrupt. THERE IS IMPROVEMENT in the case of Sam Cox. He has given up joking. That means, of course, that there will be no more of those absurd speeches in behalf of free trade. A Cuicaco RGYMAN says he would as soon go toa disreputable house on invitation as to the opera. There isa frankness of confes- ‘Taylor is no English aristocrat. He has only twelve or fifteen wives. He is merely a Mormon. THE PRESIDENT, if we may believe the Brook- lyn Eagle, has rheumatism regularly twice a year. This a breach of the civil-service regula- tions which must be looked into. We have always suspected that man. Some CHICAGO CLERGYMEN patronized the ballet the other night, and went home com- pletely disgusted. We told the National opera company before it went west that it must get prettier and plumper girls. WHEN THE LATE MR. SoLomon declared there was nothing new, the inference being: that nothing of that kind was possible, it is believed that he nurtured a mental reservation with respect to the JupGe’s word contest. IT HAS COME TO BE a custom to ridicule New- year’s resolutions. The JupGE will do nothing of the kind. The average man makes resolu-| tions only once a year, and that evidence of progress, feeble as it is, must not be denied him. Let us BE FAIR. The Buffalo Express makes Grover remark “Yaup” in reply to a question by Mrs. Cleveland. And that is mali. cious. Grover really understands the English language, and his affirmative is invanably “Yep.” Henry WATTERSON Says he wears nobody's collar. We cannot permit Henry's modesty to go to that extreme. The collar has not the length of Mr. Cleveland's, but it is really worn by a live man and it is long enough for all practical purposes.

The Jupoe’s plan in behalf of the Grant monument fund has created an interest in this city, and the country through, which amounts toa genuine but thoroughly legitimate sensa- tion. When one can help along a good cause and at the same time add to his own amuse- ment, meanwhile producing a chance to win a considerable sum of money, he has achieved the hitherto difficult task of capturing three THE ACME OF ANGLO-MANIA. “ Barker !” “Yes, sir.” sion here which is greatly to be regretted. ‘THERE 1S TALK OF arresting John Taylor of Utah for bigamy.
