# "A False Effort" Cartoon Analysis The main cartoon shows a cow labeled "Miss Breathwait" — appearing to reference a prominent figure of the era — being milked by two men in what seems to be a commentary on financial or political exploitation. The accompanying text joke suggests someone missed an opportunity ("I done missed it"), with a character named Klindy responding that they "wanted at; him was a sparrer" (sparrow). This appears to be wordplay about missed targets or failed attempts. The satirical point seems to criticize ineffectual political or financial maneuvering — the "false effort" of the title — where those attempting to profit or gain advantage fail to achieve their goal. The cow imagery suggests exploitation of resources or public figures.

JUBAL EARLY says he will be a rebel to the latest day of his life, and tries to belittle Sheridan.

MARCHING BACKWARD. HERE 1S NO perfection here, in making laws or anything else. It is possible to improve certain political and bibulous conditions, however —or, rather, it used to be possible. Under the administration of D. B. Hill there is no choice between perfection and its opposite, and the old state of politics and indulgence is held to be better than any improve- ment. And when David goes to heaven he will want to veto such of the jasper col- umns as have been newly constructed, though thereby he let down the ceiling and reduce things to their old state of chaos and a vast but extremely ancient and vacu- ous uncertaint IRELAND IN AMERICA HE New York MWorld has gathered some interest- ing and startling statistic on alien investments in the United States. Foreign cap- italists find that the purchase of vast tracts of land for cat- tle-ranges, tenant-farming, or for the advance of values, following adjacent _settle- ment, and the increment that comes of new railroads, is more promptly _ profitable than any other. The bonds of European governments, while paying low rates of interest, are also menaced in value and more or less threatened as to their very existence by national jealousies and greed and the subdued subterranean mutterings of social discontent, ‘The burdens of military and naval arr Europe is mortgaged for nearly half it is worth to intain armed camps. As one government adds to its standing army its rival and neighbor also increases its force. The muscle and manhood of the great empires and the French republic are conscripted to idleness or drill, and emaciated, long-patient labor toils to arm, shelter, sustain, and clothe the great human machines watching and waiting for mutual destruc- tion. Capital is wary and cunning. Its timidity sees a prestige of storm in every rising cloud, and crawls to safety, or hides as far as possible from harm. The United States is for investment the best safe depository in the world. Its permanence as a government was assured by the success of the war of the rebellion. Its phenomenal growth of population and re- sources, its wide range of climate, its northern fields feeding millions, and its southern ones growing their clothing, are added to its fabulous mineral wealth, giving mountains of every metal where the old world offers only » this land of promise and profit transatlantic eyes are turned, ‘The samples of “prospecting” grapes exhibited by the returning Joshuas whetted the appetites for poss sts have for this republic material greatness, and their love is the love of the leech.
