What you’re looking at
This page contains satirical commentary on various contemporary political and social figures, including references to Cleveland, Rockefeller, and others. The main cartoon, titled "Royally Welcomed," depicts a carriage scene with passengers, likely commenting on political or social hypocrisy regarding treatment of dignitaries versus ordinary citizens. The text sections address topics like the Mormon church's role in Indian conflicts, Tecumseh Sherman's death and legacy, and political maneuvering around senatorial elections. Several brief satirical notes mock wealthy figures like Rockefeller and social contradictions—such as Secretary Wisdom dying with a cigar, and criticism of doctors' advertising practices. The satire targets hypocrisy, wealth inequality, and institutional corruption typical of Judge magazine's reformist approach during the Gilded Age.

SHEPARD has done a most excellent thing in providing a hotel for worthy women and girls who come to New York seeking employment or for other legitimate purposes. These people have done nobody harm, but they are treated by the average hotel as if they were outlaws or worse. Let us suggest that the place be known as the house of the good Shepard. THE MORMON’S PAINT AND FEATHERS. THE MORMONS are charged with the Messiah craze which brou bout the late Indian outbreak, If they are not guilty their innocen is probably accidental. They have used the Indians time and again to further the advancement of the wickedness on which they have built their church. In the Mountain Meadow massacre they were disguised as In- dians, and, largely through the deception thus accomplished, it was years before the leaders of the massacre were brought to justice. It is a part of their creed that assassination is justifiable if the church needs that assist- ance to the continuance of its villainous piety. The Indian is bad through birth and education. The Mormon is infinitely worse through a cultivated viciousness which is merciless against decency and everything opposed to + the law of lust. TECUMSEH. grew old very gracefully. Rather, he grew young. He stopped his fighting when the war ended, and from that time cultivated, with cheerful countenance and dignified serenity, the arts and courtesies of peace. Atall places where good entertainment was, there was the young old man, the laugh and the merry-making and the solid enjoy- ment for him and of him; and the place he occupied was the head of the table or the front and box of genial, gentle comment and criticism.

David accepted the senatorship and thereby betrayed Smith Weed and Charles A. If he hadn't ac- cepted it he would have betrayed the Democratic party, perhaps to the extent of securing the election of a Republican senator. He suited Cleveland and that man’s friends by taking the senatorship; but he be- trays them by keeping in the presidential field and removing Cleveland men from state offices. Many of his warmest friends have been alienated by his action, but any other action would have ruined him forever. Iold- ing two offices at one time, the people at large are opposed to him; but as a senator and nothing else he would lose the power in this state without which for a year or so he would be a nonentity in Washington, Oh, what is a poor man to do? You can walk Of course I kin. I thought that WHAT CENTURY IS THIS? THE DOCTORS are discussing the old question, * Shall doctors a tise?” It may be true that Dr. Koch has not sought fame, but the same he has it, and therefore he must be dropped from the rolls. Any doctor who becomes known for any particular medicine or success is an advertiser. The doctor who isn’t remarkable for anything and is never heard of is the best doctor because he can’t advertise or be advertised. The old discoverers of anzesthetics were. humbugs because they gave the world the benefit of their discoveries ; and a doctor who makes known a remedy that blesses mankind must be tabooed according to the knowledge of his remedy that the world has gained. No doctor must hang out a sign. If a doctor marries he must keep that matter out of the news- papers; and if he dies there must be no notice of that event; because it might ministér to his posthumous pro‘it and vanity. comicbooks.com
