What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary rather than a political cartoon. The main illustrated item is titled "A Serious Mistake," depicting a rural scene where a man (Callahan) apologizes to Hogan about a pig incident, with the caption suggesting confusion between "finest pig" and "old woman." The text discusses several topics: immigration to Castle Garden (3,000 arrivals), Canadian justice systems, Russian and Czarist politics, and Hugh Grant as New York mayor. There are brief satirical jabs at Democratic newspapers, the Senate, and references to Tammany Hall politics. The page lacks a clear unified political cartoon. Instead, it offers scattered commentary on late 19th-century American politics, immigration, and urban governance—typical of Judge's format mixing humor with topical editorial content.

THE MCALLISTER was for a time the Ward of the nation ; not its boss, as he seemed to imagine. eee R. WANAMAKER is a self-made man, and has the utmost respect, as is his right, for his Wanamaker. HERE IS a little man at Albany who thinks Hugh Grant is mak- ing himself too deucedly conspicuous, T WAS a pity the wires were removed so soon, so many, many visitors would have liked to sleep on them. SE SRAL LADIES of rary proclivities are lifting their quills at each other like fretful porcupines. cee ONE DIVORCE to ten marriages is the rule in New Hampshire; so that the man who occupies those granite hills isn’t half as rock- ribbed as they are. HE ACTRESS of the future, to be celebrated, must not have been divorced, thinks the Mailand Express, Yes, indeed; and what a curiosity she would be at this very time. eee HE EFFORT of the Democratic and mug- wump press to make capital out of the death of Mr. Pear- son will presently desert the grave to put itself in the in fantile cradle. eee Phwhat kilt him 7 Ho Oj laved a flat-iron fly rough th’ dure. Huse GRANT, as we have said, is making a real good mayor. It may even be said that his wisdom and determination stretch from pole to pole. eee HS MAJESTY of Russia is troubled not by dynamite, but by the horror of momentary expectation that the destructive is going to go off. eee WE SHOULD think from some recently published private correspond- ence that your passion writer has her passion in large variety, that of the temper especially predominating. HOW THINGS CHANGE. HE CENTENNIAL celebration being over, let us briefly consider one thing. New York city was held throughout the war by the British, and, quite naturally though not patriotically, most of the leading families of the city were tories. The fathers and matrons were socially inclined, and the daughters danced with the English officer quite as if he were one of their set. From these gentlemen and ladies came to some extent the first families that exist now; and it is a curious, though a gratifying, fact CALLAHAN—"' It’s sorry Oi am for yez, Hogan. 3 Sure Oi tought it wor th’ ould woman thryin’ t' git in th’ shanty, an’ that they were among the many who were most anxious to be conspicuous a hundred years this side of our George's inauguration, The boys in the field are for the most part unremembered, and our George, of English stock; leads them all in the hearts of his countrymen, Perhaps there is some excuse for the desire to be ‘so English;” but there is one consola- tion—if we ever have a fight with England there will not be a tory on American ground. THE NEW BRETHREN. [MMIGRANTS to the number of 3,000 came to Castle Garden in one day last week. These figures revive apprehension regarding the politi- cal supremacy of the native American; but the truth is that the first comers were afflicted with that as soon as they began to rear their native- born children, and there has been no real danger yet. The rapid settle- ment of Oklahoma suggests a surplus of adventurers among our own people; but we can accommodate all who come for all time, not neces- sarily by running the land into the two oceans, but by taking peaceful possession in due season of all the land that runs between them, SHALL WE APPEAL FROM THE CREATION? A CATHOLIC CONGRESS in London having listened to an address virtually demanding the restoration to the pope of the temporal con- trol of property wrested from his holiness by Victor Emanuel, it would seem to be in order for England to appeal for a reconsideration of the surrender of Cornwallis, and for the French government to invite a congress to readjust the result of the battle of Waterloo, History is never finished, and old times come again more than is advisable or necessary. OUR MELANCHOLY SUPERIORITY. ERY FEW Canadi come to the states to cape Canadian justice. Very many men of the states go to Canada to escape the justice of the states. And it is not a matter of population. It is rather a matter of that pecul- iar enterprise which adopts other men’s funds for per- sonal purposes, We never think of this thing without a feeling of regret and a desire to have some method of pun- ishing those Canadian male- factors. A SERIOUS MISTAKE. It wor th’ finest pig an th’ hill, THE CZAR, convinced that he is doomed, has issued a royal decree to the effect that hereafter the male Ro- manoffs shall confine them- selves to a wife apiece; and when one can do penance by reforming his brothers, his cousins and his uncles how good that is! M, HALSTEAD is better as to his physical affiction, but his temper- * ature on the senate question marks like a thermometer on an ex- tremely hot day in the torrid zone. cee ‘THERE WAS really an expectation on the part of the prohibitionists of carrying Massachusetts, but their bibulous inducements to voters were too sequestered and too abominable. HE SENATE of this state can quarrel with itself with more ability and less gore than any other organization in the world, excepting only the assembly in its discussions with such bodie$ as centennial committees. [7 LOOKS very much as if Tammany hall were the fountain-head of the Democracy of this country, and as if Hugh Grant, D, B. Hill and Grover Cleveland had analyzed the waters and the other liquids of the same and found them satisfactory. But outside of Tammany will those three men speak as they pass by?
