What you’re looking at
This page contains short editorial commentary typical of Judge magazine's satirical style. The visible cartoon depicts a figure in formal attire holding what appears to be a lottery ticket or gambling implement, labeled "THE LOTTERY MONSTER." This illustrates the article's criticism of Louisiana's state lottery system, which Judge characterizes as morally corrupt and exploitative—comparing it unfavorably to legal challenges faced by lawyers. The editorial snippets address various political topics: President Harrison's partisan office appointments compared to Cleveland's, a Southern proposal for voter "educational qualifications" (likely a veiled reference to discriminatory voting restrictions), and commentary on labor issues and government spending. The overall tone reflects Judge's role as a forum for conservative political criticism during the Gilded Age period.

A SOUTHERN ORATOR proposes an educational qualification for voters which will disfranchise three negroes for every white man. He is a colored man, and says he represents the views of many blacks throughout the south. IIc presents the matter as a plan to prevent trouble between the two races, and a stimulus to the education which more than anything else favors peace. He is certainly generous; and there is more in the plan—which has already becn discussed in the JUDGE —than appears to the casual observer. But there is a great deal of hu- man nature in men who have once voted when it is proposed to take the privilege away from them. THE LOTTERY MONSTER. [F THE Louisiana lottery villainy has not received its deatis-blow in the law forbidding it the use of the mails it has more lives than a cat more ingenuity in law-breaking than any lawyer has able to. find out. It cannot buy national sentiment it has for years bought that of the Louisiana legislature; and if the supreme court of its state rules in its favor in the matter now under consideration it is still at the mercy of the national enactment. The Jupce has had something to do with this matter in various cartoons, and it feels that it has done its share to win the victory for which every good citizen swings his hat. and been WHY WHINE? EVERYBODY HERE has sympatiyy for labor. ‘That is unavoidable, because all American are workers in one shape and another. The countin room has no idlers..

LADY of Paris is afflicted with “telephonic madness.” declared that she distinctly got the celestial music by telephone, and shortly thereafter called out in a firm tone to St. Peter to give her the keys of heaven. We trust this kind of madness will not prevail.
