# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several brief satirical commentary pieces rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration shows what appears to be three men in period dress having a conversation, captioned "AN ILLUMINATOR." The text pieces mock various contemporary figures and issues: - "Guides to Gentleness" criticizes society women's ignorance about administration - "The People Get Their Own" discusses A.T. Stewart's estate settlement - "The Blaines" references the Blaine family's political prominence and wealth - "No North, No South" critiques Republican hypocrisy regarding southern politics The specific historical references (Stewart's estate, the Blaines, Republican southern policy) date this to the 1880s-1890s era. Without clearer identification of the illustrated figures, I cannot definitively name them, though the context suggests prominent political or business figures of that period.

SOME LADIES at work for the society papers insist that neither the president nor his cabinet understand good society, and that the ladies of the administration are equally ignorant. The society writers should teach them how to behave—for instance, those two of them who recently quarreled openly at a reception and one of whom had to be forcibly removed. We cannot say with certainty, however, that this unpleasantness occurred, because we have by way of proof only the word of a third gentle society reporter who is jealous of both of them. THE PEOPLE GET THEIR OWN. [HAS COST five millions of dollars to settle the estate of A. T. Stewart.

A great business, whose other name is monopoly, is broken up, and all that remains of the man who built it is a tine mausoleum, perhaps without its owner’s bones within, at Garden City. Fifteen years ago the Stewart monopoly was at its best. When radical changes come within such short periods what folly it i cry out : that results from business ability. The brains that make the wealth wear out and pass away, and the wealth remains to be distributed among the people, even the law- yers in due season disgorging their large share. THE BLAINES.

THE Atlanta Journa, speaking appreciatively of the JUDGE, in whieh this paper strove to do justice to Henry W. Grady, says, “A beauti- ful and a noble and a touching tribute is this to Georgia's honored dead, -oming as it does from a paper that is Republican in its polities and unfriendly toward the south. . It is unfortunate, and a mistake, that the purpose and principles of the Republican party. as such, should be construed as unfriendly to the south, Republicans cannot conceive the antithesis, that the Democracy. because its majorities are southern, is unfriendly to the north. ‘The two great parties, marching on separated roads, are striving to reach the sen common good. The past is irrevocable. The problems to be solved are live and not dead ones. ‘The south, with resources that are boundless; with its silvered fields of cotton and its orange-groves, that commerce with hardly a changing touch transmutes to gold; with its mines of bituminous force and its ridges of ruddy metal; with lands so rich that they saltite even indolent labor with a harvest: blest with a kindly climate and beneticent skies—the rth glories in its prosperity, with admiration untouched by envy.
