The main cartoon titled "A Stickler for Form" depicts two men in formal dress discussing a horse. The dialogue references Queen Anne being "drowned on a ponton at Osborne the other day" — likely referring to a recent news incident involving a royal horse at Queen Anne's estate. The satire criticizes excessive formality and bureaucratic procedure. One figure insists on proper protocols despite a practical emergency (a drowned horse), exemplifying how rigid adherence to rules can obstruct common sense. The surrounding editorial sections address contemporary issues: labor disputes, government railroad control, arbitration boards, and animal welfare. The tone mocks both reformers and established institutions for their impractical approaches to social problems.

HE WORLD will not long mourn for Ismail pasha; but that ex-rulers may be poisoned by an existing government is a reflection on the zation of this century that ought to have some consideration. It was reported that ex-Sultan Aziz stabbed himself with a pair of scissors; but the probability is that he. like ex-Khedive Ismail, did it with a bottle of poison surreptitiously given him to that melancholy end. G. SMITH, PERFECTIONIST. Gotpwin SMITH laments the tendency of the newspapers to give the news instead of poems and his soul-inspiring essays, and says in effect that a discussion of facts regarding the production of bread and the sale of milk would be far better for the public mind than a record of crimes and politics. We have always regarded it as a necessity on the part of newspapers to get and print news, which, by the way, they cannot manufacture to suit themselves; but Goldwin has always been the su- perior creature that demands figs from roses and condemns wheat because of the chaff that unavoidably grows with it, “Blawst the cherr claimed Goldwin not long since, in gener- al condemnation of Canadian fruit ; “ why, it ‘as the haudacity to ‘ave a stone in it!

THEORETIC SLUSH. FOOLISH MEN are again advisi the general government take charge of the railroads. What a monster of tyranny the government mi:zht be if it had control of the telegraph and the railroad systems. Does anybody imagine that there would ever be a political change in the adminis- tration of these immense interests? As if governments, made up of men, would be less liable than men or companies to be- come corrupt or to do injustice to the mil- lions under their control! ‘The government has all it can do at this mo- ment—more than it can do well. Reform dictates that it have less rather than more authority; and individual and company enterprise has a right to all the advantage it honestly wins. THE LODGE BILL.

HE HOME for indigent cats and dogs which is under consideration ia this city is an enterprise not wholly for the benetit of the homeless animals. Whoever has scen a vagabond dog or cat and submitted to its pleading for shelter, noting the wistfulness in its half-human eyes or the manifestations of hope, gratitude, disappointment, regret, and rebuke in its face or tail, has seen that which clings to him a good many days. If he kicked that homeless animal and has a soul within him he cannot forget it; he regrets it almost as much as he would have regretted the animal's adop- tion, This home ought, therefore, to be encouraged, first for the sake of the persons who have to encounter the vagabonds, and next for the sake of the vagabonds themselves. comicbooks.com
