This cartoon depicts two figures in what appears to be a police or institutional setting. The caption reads: "First Officer: 'What's wrong with him, Jimmy? Can't yer lift him?' Second Officer's Reply: 'It's no use, gentlemen; you might just as well leave me. I've been in the West-side cooking-school dinner, and I can't find another.'" The joke appears to satirize either a drunk person or someone incapacitated, with the humor hinging on a self-deprecating reference to "West-side cooking-school dinner"—likely implying the officer ate something indigestible that has weakened him. The satire targets working-class conditions or institutional food quality, using physical comedy to mock urban social conditions of the era.

TOO GOOD, TOO GOOD! ALL THE DEFAULTERS and elopers are men who stood high in the esteem of all who knew them; and here comes the Elmira Gazette with the statement that three Democratic governors—Hill of New York, Campbell of Ohio, and McKinney of Virginia—never smoked, drank or chewed, and one of them never uttered a profarie word. Appearances are frequently deceiving. An absence of small vices doesn’t necessarily argue the presence of large ones, and yet the perfect individual has yet to be born. The Detroit Free Press tells of a western man who declared when he started a grocery that he wouldn't sand his sugar, water his vinegar, or chalk his milk. “We give you twenty-four hours to leave town!” said the local vigilance committee. “We don’t want no angels ‘round here.’ WILLIAM'S YEARNINGS. MB. WHITNEY is said to have a desire to be president, and one report says that if he can’t get the prize he would prefer Hill to Cleveland, Still further, it is re- marked that Brice’s election is a feather in the Whitney cap. Just one word. The less you believe as to these little rumors the more information you have. Undoubt- edly Mr. Whitney would like to be president, but he came into po- sition so late and abandoned it so speedily that if he should run be would have to be introduced to the people and then two-thirds of them wouldn't recall him till after election.

PUT THE LOYAL ON GUARD. ‘YWWHILE domestic broils and personal dissatisfaction, incident to per- sonal disappointment, follow in the wake of political success, the Republican party is as little or less affected by this inevitable condition than was its persevering antagonist so recently defeated. While it has its hungry camp-followers, courageous in a raid and lit- te sacrificing in a contest, it must be remembered that the vast mass of its adherents are not cither “very hungry or very thirsty.” Of its multitude of voters who cast their ballots as an expression of political belief or conviction, not a shadow of the smallest per cent. soiled the ticket with a thumb-mark of official seeking. It is natural enough that those who strove arduously and long in the ic contest should ask that in the line of promotion the selection should be made from the winning ranks, and that the guardianship of the victo- rious colors should not be put in the hands of those who tried their best to beat them down, Yet, and nevertheless, the struggle was not as much for an epaulet as for a victory. A party whose parts are simply cemented by the adhesiveness of spoils will quickly disintegrate under the seductive pull of a stronger or a mercenary affinity.
