# "An Object Lesson at the Park" This cartoon depicts a woman instructing a young boy at a fence, likely in a public park. The caption reads: "Save me, Edwin; that's the same kind of rat O'Brien saw the mornin' after Kelly's christenin'!" and "Well, it's not unlike the howly mother'n alebout yez broke." The humor relies on ethnic Irish stereotyping common to Gilded Age satire. The misspelled dialect ("howly mother," "alebout yez") and references to "O'Brien" and "Kelly" mark the characters as Irish-American. The joke appears to reference drunken behavior at a christening party, with the implication that someone saw rats while intoxicated—a crude ethnic caricature equating Irish immigrants with both poverty and excessive drinking.

CITIZENSHIP. Several American citizens went to Canada on a peaceful mission and were mobbed in consequence, some of them sustaining severe injuries and narrowly escaping with their lives. The outrages were even worse than the several against American citizens on the part of Mexico. Is it worth while to do anything about it? Does the state department think it has any duty in the premises? THE ONLY REMEDY. The Canadian ignorance that forbids such speeches as do not hap- pen to accord with its littleness is a disgrace to this continent voidably brings shame to the United States. Canada to view such villainot EASON. nd unas We are too nes business with indifference. In behalf of decency and republicanism it will be necessary presently for Uncle Sam to take up this Canadian babe, spank her, and put her in the trundle-bed of his domestic establishment, to get acquainted with the other children and learn good manners. NO IMPERIALISM HERE. “No imperialism in America!” exclaims the Irish Catholic M real Post in an article on the outrages inflicted on William O'Bri That is the right kind of talk. The French, backed silently by E land, tried to force an emperor on Mexico, and the emperor was shot. The English government and its subordinate in Canada have cried out for murder to prevent free speech,.and propose the law of might among our neighbors as it exists in Ireland. They would Irishize Canada as they have Irishized India. They would apply the villainy of coercion most under the folds of our flag. They would shoot men for exer- cising the right of free speech. That must not be, Annexation may be necessary to prevent continual insult and menace to the free institu- tions of this republic. There may possibly be an irrepressible contlict between Canada and the United States, and the doctrine may be necessary that freedom and tyranny cannot exist together on this continent. THE DAY WE DECORATE. There has come about a tole- rance with respect to remember ing the dead which hurt That the people of t bear in mind the courage of th victims of their folly is not evi- dence of disloyalty to the union they failed to break up. If they forgot their heroes it would be evidence that they were unfit for the government which gives them forgiveness and citizen ship. It would be dastardly to expect it of them, and dastardly in them to honor the expecta- tion. They have their day of remembrance and we ou of decoration; and there s) be no quarrel over the gra: the brave men of either side wh went out more than tweuly » south yez from the furni- comicbooks.com
