# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 248 This page contains political commentary rather than a single unified cartoon. The main illustrated piece, labeled "CONTAGIOUS ELEGANCE," appears to depict a woman in elaborate dress affecting fashionable mannerisms—likely satirizing upper-class affectation and conspicuous consumption. The text columns reference several political figures including Hill (likely Senator David B. Hill), Cleveland (President Grover Cleveland), and General Gould. The commentary mocks Democratic political maneuvering, particularly regarding Senate nominations and the upcoming presidential convention. "THE WOMAN-KILLING POTENTATE" references a Russian execution case, while "THE PASSING OF THE CRIME" discusses Mexican land settlement in the American Southwest. The overall page satirizes contemporary political corruption, class pretension, and international affairs typical of 1890s Judge content.

THE BEST WAY to stop fraudulent divorces is to have a national marriage law, and it ought to be adjudged a crime on the: part of the present or the next congress to neglect to pass one. It is amazing, in view of the criminal marriage and divorce records, that every state should continue to be a marriage and divorce gospel solely unto itself; and the consequent temptations to crime are so numerous that many an innocent person has been ruined by them in both pocket and character. This new year ought not to go far without a remedy for this great and growing evil. DAVID’S INTENTIONS. Hitt WILL NOT go to the senate. Hill's man, not Hill, will run for governor. If the man is elected Hill will be right in line for the Demo- cratic nomination for president. If he is defeated—and he will have many Democrats to fight—that will be the last of David, and Grover will sweep the national convention. It takes a man of courage to accept the chances that Hill will; but there is nothing cowardly in his nature, and he has the gift of management more than any other Democrat. Look out for D. B. H., Cleveland men and Republicans. He is full of music and he wants to sing. THE WOMAN-KILLING POTENTATE, A YOUNG WOMAN of Russia, sentenced to death on suspicion of being a nihilist, was executed hastily and at night to stop the utter- ance of prayers in her behalf by the people of this country. After that we should think the czar would be af to go to sleep, and that his enemies would be ashamed to let him awake in the morning. NOW THEN! THE PRESIDENT indorses the Chicago world’s fair. That is a good beginning of the great work, and every well-thinking pa- triot in the country will be a Chica- goan until the exhibition is closed. The people of the great west will look upon that fair as their fair, and would make it a success if it depended on them alone; but the people of the great east and south are interested as well, and will stand for it_as if it were their very Money and other aid and comfort for Chicago, and a general invitation to the world to outdo itself in the grandest display of a century! own, WHY HE WON'T. THEY WANTED General Gor- don of Georgia to be initiated as a member of the farmers’ alliance, and in proof of their affection gave him the votes necessary to send him to the senate. But the initiation has not taken place. First the general said he had to plow an acre of ground, and they said they would wait. Then he said he was obliged to shell onions, and the ceremony was postponed for that reason. Then he said his wife had to darn his socks and it would take her a long time, and besides he had to drive the horses to water and shoe the cows. were all reasonable causes for absence; but the fourth tion will surely where to lo These vening for initia- come around and the general is at his wits’ ends to know ¢ himself and give the reason for his arrival there. There is the sha'n't-do-it article of declaration, but a man who has had unre- quited favors can never use that, THE PASSING OF THE CRIME. THE MORMON PROBLEM is likely to be good enough to settle itself so far as this country is concerned. John W. Young has bought three million acres of land in the northern part of old Mexico, and it is reported that the Mexican government will give fifty dollars to every single man and two hundred dollars to every family that shall settle on it. The scheme is not a new one, and its adoption is only a question of time. It will save a great deal of expense and unpleasant- ness to us—though perhaps it is likewise only a question of time when old Mexico will be a part of the United States, and then the ancient trouble will be renewed.
