What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts a scene of urban social contamination, showing figures in period dress (late 1800s) where disease or moral corruption spreads through a city neighborhood. The caption references "O'Halloran McCurry" and dialogue about children and cleanliness ("Will yez tind it? child?" / "Oh no sooner pit me fut on it'there than he sings out"). The satire appears to target poor urban living conditions and how disease (likely cholera or similar epidemics common to densely-packed immigrant neighborhoods) spreads through unsanitary circumstances. The exaggerated dialect suggests Irish immigrant characters, reflecting contemporary anxieties about public health and immigration. The "infection" metaphor criticizes both literal disease vectors and broader social concerns about urban poverty spreading its problems through communities.

[7 HAVING been decided not to postpone the national election in behalf of the world’s fair, or the fair in behalf of the election, the temptation to run the two in partnership is best removed by having the fair in Chicago, It is a disappointment to New York. We believe it is unfortunate for the fair. This city was willing and anxious to contribute far more than the amount that can possibly be raised by Chicago. But the decision was rendered after a vigorous and an honorable contest; and now, of course, every New-Yorker will contribute to the success of the event as cheerfully as would Chicago if New York had won. NAPOLEONS OF FINANCE. OME MEN proposed to make a large fortune by buying banks. Their idea was to use the securities of the banks and the funds of the depositors to pay the cost of the purchase, it so happening that they had no funds of their own. The chief bank-seller realized a very large sum on the chief sale, and apparently had it in his frugal mind to let the depositors take care of themselves; but he has since found it safer to resume his original li ics, at the cost of at least half his profits and therefore some- thing of a sacrifice. Some of the bank-buyers are threatened with state-prison, and if they don't go there Mr. Frederick Ward and several other distinguished financiers will be lonesomer than they ought to be. There is a little principle in banking which assumes that depositors have rights. Now that the opportunity is pre- sented, is it likely to be vin- dicated ? OUR TOO FEEBLE SCIENCE. M, PASTEUR is likely to * die of paralysis. Dur- ing his investigations as to hydrophobia he neglected to invent the elixir which would preserve him and thereby keep alive the rest of man- kind. It was an oversight which cannot be too much regretted, and nobody will forgive him this side of the grave. It is so strange that scientific men should give themselves up to the details of life-saving when the grand result of perpetual existence ought to occupy their investigating minds. Some science has recently turned it- self to the great duty of making old men young, but the grand misfort- une still presents itself that natural death comes in every instance at the time when men think they have just learned how to live. NEW YORK IN ’92. MASY PAPERS are declaring that Hill beat Cleveland in ‘88 Democratic papers say it over and over again, and the with epigrammatic force that Hill sold a presidency for a governor- However that may be, New York is lost to the Democratic party ay ship. in ‘92 if either is nominated, ‘There is a great deal of Democratic si- lence just now, but when the Hill-Cleveland fight begins it will be as open and as bitter as anything in the history of the Republican stal- warts and half-breeds. It will probably give the Democratic nomi- nation to some western state; or it may be that Henry Watterson is right in saying that Leon Abbett stands a fair chance for the sacrifice. But the Cleveland men and the Hill men of this state are very much in earnest, and with an outsider to work for they will not feel like working at all. So that in ‘92, with Cleveland or Hill or with neither, New York will be as safe for the Republican candidate as if he had already been elected. comicbooks.co
