# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine contains brief satirical commentaries on contemporary American politics and society, alongside a multi-panel cartoon titled "O'Brien and His Balky Mule." The text attacks **Samuel J. Randall**, a Democratic politician criticized for being a protectionist (supporting tariffs)—ideologically misaligned with his party. The satire compares him to "a sheep among wolves," suggesting he doesn't belong in Democratic circles. Other targets include: the **Chicago anarchists** (likely referencing the Haymarket affair perpetrators awaiting execution); **John Most** (a German-American anarchist agitator); and **General Boulanger** (a French political figure accused of avoiding public appearances by claiming injury). The commentary also critiques **President Cleveland**, **Anna Dickinson** (a female lecturer), and excessive summer heat. The repeated "O'Brien and His Balky Mule" cartoon appears to be ongoing serial humor, likely Irish-American themed based on the name. Overall, this reflects *Judge's* role as a Republican, anti-anarchist, pro-business publication using humor to mock Democratic politicians and social agitators.

THE LATEST OUTRAGE. It seems to us that the boil on the eyelid to which Mrs, Cleveland has been subjected—and the which had to be plastered with the amelior- ative mustard—was a southern outrage bad enough to have originated inSouth Carolina. If there must be boils there should be some discre- tion as to the disposition of them. They ought to grow on trees, like the eruptiveness known as spruce gum. They should be exerescences for the unfeeling clouds, that they might pass out without inflicting unnecessary pain. A boil on any part of a pretty woman is malicious injury for which there can be no possible excuse. A boil on the eye- lid of the first lady shocks us as did the first gan on Sumter. Wehave had a certain sort of respect for the president, and have wished him all the luck he claims to be able to command; but a president who won't veto an eruction of that kind is fit only for treason, strategem and worms.
