What you’re looking at

This page from Judge contains several satirical pieces targeting 1880s American social issues: **"Cash" Poem**: Personifies money as both a ruling power and enslaved servant, critiquing capitalism's corrupting influence on human morality. **"Hum of the Court"**: A collection of brief satirical jabs at contemporary figures and policies: - Mocks Utah's polygamous judges - References O'Reilly's failed prophecy about Irish home rule (1889) - Ridicules Chicago newspapers blaming women's employment for declining business intelligence - Attacks civil service reform as hypocritical - Jokes about Laplanders and prison musicians **Cartoons**: "A Friendly Caution" depicts a white man warning an African American about his new Black neighbors—racist stereotyping masked as friendly advice. "After the Runaway" shows aftermath of a social event gone wrong, with class undertones. The page exemplifies Judge's formula: mixing political commentary, social critique, and crude stereotypes typical of 1880s American humor.
