What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than political satire. The dominant feature is a poem titled "When It Rains" — a sentimental, humorous verse about how rainy weather dampens spirits, causes romantic arguments (with women named Mollie, Lucy, Fanny, etc.), and makes people generally disagreeable. The page is otherwise filled with **period commercial advertisements**: safes, baseball games, railroad services, theaters, beer, wine, cocoa, and other products typical of 1880s-90s America. There's also a lengthy prose piece, "A Drawing-Room Homily," attributed to Bishop Huntington critiquing the frivolity and social pretense of drawing-room gatherings among the wealthy. **No clear political cartoon or satire is evident.** The page appears to be filler between major editorial content in this issue of *Judge*. The "homily" offers mild social commentary on upper-class manners rather than sharp political critique.

A DRAWING-ROOM HOMILY. “Is it not too bad,” says Bishop Huntington, ‘in a time when there is so much fact to be learned, so much work to be done, and done better than it is, so much wrong to be righted, so many burdens wait to be eased, so many noble enterprises to be set forward, that ladies and gentlemen of faculty and information should array themselves sumptuously and go to mect each other again and again, and stay together for hours, only to look at a spectacle that is without significance and hear sounds without sense; to sce unreal manners and hear commonplace speech; to exchange greetings with the dearest friends only on a crowded staircase, as the two processions up and down mect and pass, or in ‘a crush” where the liveliest feeling is a fear of damaging a fabric or being mortified by a mistake ; to eat and drink what could be eaten and drank with’ far more comfort and safer digestion at home ; to say what one only half feels to persons whom one docs not like on a subject that one does not half understand ; to pick a way between frivolity and falschood or wade through a muddy mixt- ure of both ; to cover disgust with a smile, inward pro- test with spoken accent, or weariness a jest, and then go away at an unhealthy hour with nothing to re- member but a babble, a whirl, a jam, and a secret self- contempt? ‘Horrid ‘bore, isn’t it?
