# Judge Magazine Page 151 Analysis This page contains two satirical illustrations with accompanying brief political commentary typical of 1890s Judge magazine. **Top illustration ("Grinding Criticism")**: Shows a beach scene where characters discuss a man's engagement. The satire criticizes newspaper and magazine critics—particularly C.D. Warner—for unfair attacks on reading materials and editorial decisions. **Bottom illustration ("Speeding the Parting")**: Depicts a large bear with two men, captioned with dialogue about sending friends to someone. This appears to reference American politics circa 1892, with commentary on the Republican Party's tariff positions and Democratic Party responses regarding trade policy and war. The surrounding text discusses various political and social topics: census data, press coverage of McKinley, Philadelphia voting, Blaine and Hill's political activities, and debates about art education propriety. The page reflects Judge's Republican-leaning satirical stance on 1890s American politics.

WARNER chides the newspaper for trying to usurp the pat- * ronage of the magazine, and also chides it for giving an inferior quality of reading-matter. It seems to us, Charles, that here is a reflec- tion on the magazines which is not deserved. GET TOGETHER! HE REPUBLICAN PARTY stands like a stone wall for protection and the tariff-reform which leads to that result. The vote in the house represents the feeling of the party throughout the country. This outlines the fight of 1892, and the opposition being in line for free trade there will be no doubt as to the issue, any more than there ought to be doubt as to the result. But it will be a hard fight, and every protectionist must prepare to protect his cause. STOP THAT WAR! ASA MATTER of policy it would not be wise in congress to probibit free speech or the exhibition of the rebel flag in the south, for loyalty that is forced is not the genuine article, and the people subjected to it command a sympathy that doesn’t belong to them; but, as a matter of good taste, of propriety, of fitness, the people of the south ought to omit disloyal speech and exhibition, and it is surprising that they did not begin to omit it years ago. There has been a hoarse Democratic cry north and south that the war ought to be ended. Well, why do not the southern brethren permit it to be ended? IT WOULD BE SAFER. F ART STUDENTS of both sexes may work together before a nude model without danger to their morals they are superior to all other mortals, It is just possi- ble that they are. They are sup- posed to be more wedded to their art than other people are to theirs, and it is claimed that they have none of the grossness which be- longs to the average, every-day in- dividual. Yet statistics show that, after all, they make the usual num- ber of gross mistakes outside of their canvases, and indeed some of them are more susceptible to temptation in various ways than the less favored man whose life is devoted to the simple business of making money. On the whole there is so much of this world that there ought to be room in it to warrant a separation of the men and wo- men who are artists when they have nudity to deal with.
