# Page 99 of Judge Magazine - Analysis This page contains several satirical sketches and commentary on late 19th-century American issues: **"Her Status"** (top): depicts a woman being interrogated about employment, satirizing concerns about women's labor and social position. **"His Way Out of It"** (bottom): shows a man with a woman and child, likely mocking marriage evasion or paternity disputes—common Judge topics. The text discusses **racial amalgamation debates**, **Native American policy** (references to Sitting Bull and "the Sioux"), and **women's suffrage** through Professor Wallace's commentary on whether women should vote. The satire reflects 1890s anxieties: interracial relationships were scandalous; Native Americans were portrayed as obstacles to progress; women's political participation was hotly contested. The cartoons use exaggerated facial features typical of period satirical illustration.

The long, hard word “amalgama- tion” was startling during the slavery days, but the depravity which it sought to remedy was a matter of no serious conse- quence. Mr. Douglass has the best of the argument; but, after all, these things regulate them- selves, and no law ever yet had any material effect on them. THE UGLIEST INDIAN.

PROFESSOR WALLACE of England thinks the time will soon come, and ‘ought to come, when it will be deemed right and proper for women to pop the question, There is perhaps nothing against it except cus- tom. Few men have proposed without botching the business, and there is apparently never to be any improvement in the methods they use.

REWARD THIS MERIT. THE POLITICAL EDITOR is the great pre-election advice-giver. He shovels out exhortation and wisdom by the ton, taking no thought for him- self; so that after election he frequently’ has none for his personal needs, and must con- tent himself with the unheated prayer-meeting or call in vain for the vacation which the man of the pulpit gets without ask- ing. Something should be done for this faithful servant of the unsuccessful party. His rest should be as sweet as that which he has finally been obliged to give his readers. 7R.D DOUGLASS is very indignant over Senator In- galls’s speech against mixed comicbooks.com
