What you’re looking at
This page contains political commentary and satirical items typical of Judge's editorial content. The main cartoon titled "Not So Green" (bottom) depicts two country men, one claiming to have found a gold watch. The city man dismisses it as worthless, but when told it's valuable, suddenly wants it—satirizing urban greed and hypocrisy. The text items mock various political figures and social issues of the era, including references to Congressional proposals, tariff debates, and the presidential selection process. Without clearer identification of specific dates or named figures in the visible text, the exact political targets remain somewhat unclear, though the satirical tone targets government incompetence and aristocratic pretension generally.

In other wonds, the Tribune would like to shoot the truth, Well, bor for its pains, Where is the ideal wife?” really anxious in the premises all he has todo is to find the ideal husband, it being a habit of the two to travel very much together.

The main purpose of stopping off at Syracuse is in most instances to get in- toxicated and miss the next train. Ir 18 TO BE ORSERVED that the Democratic admirers of Mr. Conkling tiave suddenls their devotional adjectives ; but they have made their choice and the JuDGE will see to it that they run the gentleman for president. Conaressman Grout of Vermont has intro- duced a bill to enable the people to select their own postmasters. Now that we have a Demo- cratic admimstration—if we may be permitted to be a little more frank than Congressman Grout is—it is an excellent idea. Tue DEMOCRATS OF THE HOUSE cannot be in- duced to touch the tariff with a pole of the reg- ulation length for such experiments. What a pitiful set of cowards they are! Let them catch a glimpse of the shadows cast by their own ears and they will perish of fright. AT LAST ACCOUNTS, according to the Courier- Journal, the star-eyed goddess, spy-glass in hand, was wandering around the government departments, looking for an honest Democrat. Poor girl! The kind of glass she wants for that kind of discovery is not a spy-glass. Epwin Cow es of the Cleveland Leader has concluded to support Rober: Lincoln for president in 1888. Robert is a good boy and his time will come in due season; but if he has won his spurs he is so little accustomed to that he wears them on the toes of his Locksley Hall” argues that the world has retrograded, and ex- presses the utmost contempt for the doctrine of human equality. We don’t know what Alfred has been doing, but if he might bring back his old innocence he would greatly benefit his old eyesight, THE DEATH OF OLD MR. Pane, miser and millionaire, isa lesson for the careless which should be heeded. Persons having packages of from a hundred thousand to half a million dollars will send them to us at once. We put them in their charge and afterward forgot them. They will remember the several occur. rences. Ah what a careless, careless world itis! PENSION THEM ALL. It is proposed by a Massachusetts legislator to pension a Massachusetts poet. The idea is an excellent one, and is incidentally a demand for the rights of states and smaller locali- ties in the matter of literature. One of our sweetest obituary poets, for instance, is a Mrs. Rogers of Tonawanda, Pa., and if the board of trustees of that village do not immediately pension her they ought to be denied the privi- lege of formal departure as long as they live. THE COMPANY It is complained that fashionable ladies in Washington do not attend the funerals of their fashionable companions. Doubtless, however, the deceased are to blame for that, ‘They do not perish according to the forms pre- 18 MISCELLANEOL’. NOT SO GREEN. CountrYMaN (examining a watch)—“ Gosh, what luck !
