# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 85 **"The Effects of Marriage"** (top cartoon): A satirical comparison contrasting the carefree "lover" with the transformed "husband." The illustration shows contrasting scenes of romance versus domestic reality, typical of period humor about marriage's sobering effects. **Political commentary sections** address three figures: 1. **John T. Hill** - a bank defaulter who fled rather than face consequences 2. **Mr. Parnell** - charged with evicting Irish tenants; the text critiques his political inconsistency regarding Irish-American support 3. **Phoebe Couzins** - celebrated as a suffragist and women's-rights advocate who addressed political conventions The bottom illustration, "To Shoot Annie Rooney," depicts a crowded public gathering, likely referencing contemporary political or social events, though the specific reference is unclear without additional historical context.

THE EFFECTS OF MARRIAGE. The lover. JOHN T. HILL, bank defaulter, did not go to Canada. He went— well, you know, he’s dead, ary PEOPLE THOUGHT they knew Crover Cleveland's views on the silver question, but the same have been revised and totally destroyed. eee GROUND HAVING been broken for the Grant monument, we trust the monument fund will get over feeling as if it had been subjected to the same experiment. eee I DONNELLY is not a detective, but he does insist that poor “old Shakespeare,” the woman recently murdered by “Frenchy,” was not poor old Shakespeare at all, but poor old Bacon. TO SHOOT ANNIE ROON: Proressor Hair Rest (at a park concert)—" Why these unrestrained tears, my friend? Have you received sudden bad tidings, that you sob aloud in a public place?” Harry Witiskers—" They are tears of joy, old man ! cuted by the military band at 2:30." To think the little cuss is to die at last ! ‘em to dig her grave deep, stranger !" (Exit, weeping ecstatically.) See that programme : It's too good to be true. ‘The husband. VOTING FOR BLAINE next year, or for Harrison, the Republican party will vote for reciprocity the continent through, and likewise for a union of the interests of the continent which will make foreign invasion impossible though several powers assist in the foolishness of little Italy. “GOD SAVE IRELAND!” R. PARNELL is charged by his opponents with the eviction of cer- tain tenants in Ireland. That is to say, his course put a stop to American and French contributions to the cause, and therefore the ten- ants couldn't be relieved and were turned out, It is also charged that the tenants are anti-Parnell, and therefore the gentleman js as cruel with them as if he were an English landlord. Such arguments are worse than clubs and as bad as sand in the eyes, If there is really that kind of politics in Ireland—if the politicians are more cruel than the tyrants they assume to fight —it will eventually become ‘necessary to evict the leaders in order to save the tenants, PHOEBE, HCEBE COUZINS is the fightingest woman of her equal-suffrage class; and now that she is fighting the ladies’ committee of the world’s fair it is quite certain that the late Mr. Columbus revives himself far enough to express regret that he ever discovered the continent of her birth. Phoebe was with the woman's- rights women for years, and whenever she spoke or wrote there was a consequent rumble of intellectual artillery that shook E, Cady Stanton’s whole circumference and S. B, Anthony from top to toe. After- ward she was collector of internal revenue at St. Louis, and didn’t resign her office until six months after the inauguration of her successor. In '76 she was permitted by Chairman Henry Watterson to address Mr. Tilden’s* national convention, and it was there and for her that Henry gave out the parliamentary decision, “No question of privilege can be a question of privilege as long as a lady has the floor.” Good luck to the ladies’ committee of the world’s fair, and how long is it going to postpone its already too much delayed funeral? * Little Annie Rooney exe- Tell comicbooks.com
