What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content**, not political satire. It contains numerous commercial advertisements for cigars, collars, candy, baseball equipment, hats, and patent devices typical of late 19th-century magazines. The only substantive editorial content includes: 1. **"The Arizona Kicker"** column—satirical frontier commentary mocking a local postmaster's incompetence and a Colonel's premature job-seeking after Harrison's election, suggesting disappointment that the town lacks expected federal offices. 2. **"A Thrilling Social Episode"** poem—a humorous narrative about a young woman with an unwieldy parasol passing an intoxicated man with a cumbersome cane, neither noticing the other. 3. **Philosophical verse** on human mortality and morality. The "Arizona Kicker" implies criticism of post-election patronage expectations and bureaucratic incompetence, but lacks specific identifying figures. The overall page reflects Judge's mix of advertising revenue with light satirical commentary rather than hard-hitting political cartoons.

Some Valuable Suggestions and Reflections. We extract the following from the last issue of the | Arizona Kicker: A REMEDY.—We would suggest to the postmaster- general that he drop a line to the postmaster of this town reading: “* Maj. Bint. Perkins—Sir; Either attend to your biz or git, and I'd a little rather you'd git. So would the people of your town. Yours truly, and don’t be over a week making up your mind what course to take.” Too previous.—Ever since Harrison's election Col. Hank Taylor, of this town, has been sweating the color out of his blue suspenders in running after office. The office he wanted was boss of the custom-house, and he has been figuring that if he got it he would raise aspar- agus in his front yard, horse-radish in the back, and put on all the style they do in Chicago. It was only yester- day that he suddenly became aware of the fact that we have no custom-house here for him to boss. _ What he had always supposed was a government institution of the kind turned out to be Desnoyer’s storage-house for bones. Col. Hank has our sympathy in this his hour of deepest trial, but that’s the best we can do, We are in no situation to either lend him a shirt or trust him for groceries. It MADE Us SAD.—Mrs, Judge Shiver passed the Kicker office at 11 o'clock ‘Tuesday night in a state of happy inebriation, being on her way home from a high lager beer given by Mrs. Prof, Westonhouse at her ele: gant mansion on Iironco Place. Mrs, Judge was drag- ging her new bonnet along the ground by the starboard and softly singing about pansy blossoms. We were sitting on the front steps in the gentle moonlight, think- ing of the past and gone. and the event saddened us more than we can express. We had a mother once. She was not beautiful, and splitting wood while our dear father talked politics at the grocery made her lop-shoul- Suppose gshe had been in the habit of getting slewed? Where would we have been to-day? Instead. of being at the head of a great weekly paper like the Kicker, which also runs a harness-shop, grocery, feed-store, and bazar in connec- tion, all under one economical management and the same roof, we should doubtless have inhabited a con- viet's garb in some state prison, Veni, vidi, curanter, which, if we remember correctly, means: "* The mother makes the man what he is.” ‘A svaGestioy,—We have nothing in_ particular against the government, neither do we wish Indian- agent Babcock any harm. It seems to be our duty, how- ever, to call his attention to the fact that he is making an ass of himself, and that he can resign any time within the next three weeks, If we were running this govern- ment we'd run him head-first into the soil about the first thing we took hold of after breakfast Monday morning. —Detroit Free Press.
