# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains editorial commentary and one cartoon labeled "OUR NEW COLORED GARDENER," depicting a man digging or working in soil while another figure stands nearby with a cane. The text discusses various political figures and issues of the era, including references to: - The health of the Czar of Russia - Governor Hill and patent milkers - Marlborough's status - Sara Bernhardt's finances - Robert Lincoln's bankruptcy - Frederick Gebhardt - Robert Lincoln (referenced as "OUR BOB") - Cleveland's administration The cartoon appears to satirize labor or racial dynamics, though the specific historical context—whether referencing a particular scandal, employment practice, or political figure—is unclear without additional dating information. The overall page reflects late 19th-century American political satire addressing governance, labor issues, and public figures.

THE HOLIDAY HUMBUG, The parade on labor day cost every man who participated in it from a dollar to five and ten dollars, and not a man in the parade wanted to lose that money. It cost the business of this city a million dollars in annoyance and loss of trade. It has come to be proper to remark that ‘‘ we have too few holidays.” Now the best holiday is the one the worker makes for himself. He earns it, and he would prefer to use it as he wants to use He doesn’t care to parade, or exhibit himself in any way. He would like to make his own selec- GUR NEW COLORED GARDENER. “Ise bred ‘n bro't up in Thomps'n street, bows.

W: have quite enough general holidays. The whole holidays and the half ones which come between them are innovations that labor will repudi- ate, and for that matter already repudiates. It is hollow brass. It is a sounding fraud. When u worker needs a holiday he prefers to buy nd use it for his personal benefit and in his own way. Bear in mind that it is not contributed to him. Most certainly he pays for it every time. Mr. RANDALL as a Democratic protectionist somehow reminds one of the man who is facetiously called a Republican copperhead. Com out from the ranks of the heathen, Samuel, and learn to be in name the protective magnificence you are by nature ! Zou SaY8 he can prove that there are persons who act just as he says persons act in his novels. That may have been the case. It is not so now. A sense of decency obliged the public to pick them up on a pair of chips and pitch them out of the back window. WANTED—A SOCIETY CONSCIENCE. If acertain gentlen of some title and much notoriety were all sensitive, which he isn’t, and read the American newspape which he doesn’t, he would presently be known as the duke of Snarl- borough.

Possibly it has no conscience; and if that is the case it had better hunt around the society that doesn’t an- nounce itself in the superlative and see if it can't steal one. man this and THE EXCELLENT TASTE of Mrs. Cleveland in refusing to come here to make an exhibition of herself is in fine con- trast with the bad taste that inspired the invi: tation to her to do so.

AS BETWEEN Cleveland and Hill it looks as if one was a little ahead of the other in this state, and both were going to be very sorry for it. Tr LARATION of Frederick Douglass that he still belongs to the Republican party is as superfluous as would be the addition of a cellar to a house already thus supplied. WHAT AN INSULT it would be to William Shakespeare to say that he was responsible for the viciousness of Francis Bacon! He was a poor player, but with all his genius and humility he was not capable of that. THE GREATEST DEMOCRATIC SHOW ON EARTH. In his trip around the circle Mr. Cleveland really ought to meet and be exhibited on the same platform with Jefferson Davis, It would be the most captivating of the agricultural-address business.
