What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple political commentary pieces rather than a unified cartoon. Key sections include: **"No Kingdom Here"** criticizes pan-American Congress proposals, opposing commercial unification and protection policies that would benefit American interests over other nations. **"The Woman Did It"** references the Brazilian revolution, crediting a woman (Isabella, daughter of Dom Pedro) with freeing slaves and deposing the emperor—attributing major political upheaval to female action. **"The Millionaire in Politics"** discusses Republican wealth and alleged Democratic plots to buy Senate seats, satirizing corruption in both parties. Other brief items mock anarchists, Kentucky violence, and reformers' ineffectiveness. The overall tone is satirical commentary on contemporary American and international politics, targeting both major parties and progressive movements.

Not to mention the meanness, it reminds one of the idiocy of the man who burns his own house. LITTLE TROUBLE in Hazen county, a court and killed several men, and probably thirty lives will be lost before the trouble is ended. They are active and enterprising in Kentucky, but it takes half their time to attend to the funerals. Ky., the other day, broke up THE ODIOUS, undemocratic and un- American civil-service law may not be repealed at once; but the sentiment against it on the part of both the great parties is rapidly growing, and ten years hence people will look back to its feeble existence with amazement and disgust. r who sings for WHEN THE POE land where care is not” reaches that land he will perish of monotony. A man cannot get along without care, any more than he can without clothes ina cold country, It is the painful but relieving plaster without which he would how! with pain, AL PAPERS think it is Mr. Blaine’s design to institute measures looking to the control of Hawaii, the larger portion of which is already in the posses- sion of Americans. There may be nothin, in it, but this affords a first-rate chance for the opponents of Mr. Blaine to kill him with adjectives again. I'm glad ¢° see yer aj has been jest as bad in th’ last season.” THE WORLD tips its hat to Rom Pedro and wishes him well. If there was ever an emperor to be proud of he was that emperor, He was wise and good, and as democratic as if his shoulders had never éarried the purple. But the principle he represented has ceased to paint the sky, and very slightly illuminates where it once gave out its full effulgence. A PARIS PAPER makes a scurrilous attack on Miss Caldwell because of her refusal to allow Prince Murat to control her property, and her niggardliness g for his allowance. We should think that a man who permits such a defense of himself as that would be too con- temptible a thing for anybody to marry, even if he knew enough to earn his bread and butter. CAN REFORMERS REFORM? HE LADIES of the national temperance union had many spats at their Fecent convention and love-feast, and finally agreed to separate, one party going its way and the other the other. It w older readers will remember, with the women’s-rights women years ago, there being the New England society of reformers and the larger one with headquarters in this state. If, now, something might be done to reform the reformers how nic that would be !—to reform them so that they could give and take with pe and the genesal good in view, but more especially out of respect for them- RE-UNITED. Warker ALuinoxe—"* Hullo! bat, jedgin’ from’ yer looks, things yas they has in th’ country this selves and theshobbies they ride. But the lady prohibitionist is so radical that she can give no tolerance of difference to another radical, and the lat- ter is just as extreme in worship of herself as she. It is just as well, per- haps; but the exhibition at Chicago teaches us again that there is as little perfection among the exhorters of perfection as there is among the con- servative people who get along quite comfortably outside. NO KINGDOM HERE. THERE 1S NOT a monarchy on this continent. There is that chip from a monarchy that calls itself Canada, but it only faintly represents the old block and will some day renounce its allegiance. To the south of us English commerce has worked its way greatly to our disadvantage, and it is a rebyke of our amazing stupidity that will presently provoke rectifi- cation, The pan-American congress means much in the way of unifica- tion. It means commercial agitation that will result to our benefit, an meanwhile new ideas in politics that will overshadow the comparatively narrow issues that have controlled the great parties for too many years. It means protection of the continent from foreign invasion as to business and war—protection through liberality of production, interchange, and tax- ation of commodities produced anywhere between Maine and Panama. It means that whatever isthmus canal may be constructed will be paid for by American money and controlled by American capital. That is one of the things to think of on the day de- voted to praise and thanks, THE WOMAN DID IT. THE WOMAN at the bottom of the Brazil revolution was Isabelle, daugh- ter of Dom Pedro, Acting as regent dur- ing the severe illness of the emperor, she freed the slaves before the time set by law for their freedom, and that was one of the causes of it, What woman was that who, given supreme rule of a king- dom for a day, deposed the king who had granted her that royal favor? And did any woman given large authority ever know enough to let well-enough alone? THE MILLIONAIRE IN POLITICS. A GREAT DEAL is said as to the wealth of the leaders of the Repub- lican party; and here comes Allen O. Myers of Ohio, known as “the tally-sheet forger,” but for years a trusted Demo- cratic leader, and declares there are plots on the part of several Democratic million- aires to buy the seat in the United States senate chamber shortly to be filled by the Ohio legislature. Mr. Myers tells the truth, but what a sad truth it is! It robs the Democratic party of its best argument, or rather it fixes on the Democracy the same crime of wealth and consequent corruption that is charged against the Republican:party. How shall the partisan argument against monop- oly and’ plutocracy prevail hereafter? Well, I,declare, pardner, EAT AND BE SOOTHED. you NEED a rest in November after the excitements, the successes, the disappointments and the dissipations of election day. The embattled multitudes exhausted themselves on that day, and some of them exhausted their opponents twice over. A rest on a week-day in November means recuperation rather than indigestion. It means that it is time to change the subject and meet on common ground for suggestion and information of another kind. Now the family come together. Now the crops are barned and cellared and binned, and the golden corn shines through its crib and defies the impending inclemency. Now when you go back to the old roof-tree perhaps you go to bed in a cold room and see frost on the window-pane and icicles clinging to the low eaves beyond; but do you not sleep the better for it, especially if the snow fly and the wind howl, and do you not next day come back to the appetite you had when a boy ? Politics? Out upon thee, vandal! Politics in church? That mean thing when it is the time to feast and sing? The thing's tabooed—tabooed, thou heretic and hypocrite! Bestrew the open breast of the smoking tur- key with cranberry and let us clasp hands above that bloody chasm. comicbooks.com
