# Page 169: Judge Magazine - Social Commentary This page contains several brief satirical items and illustrations typical of Judge's format: **Main content includes:** - Short anecdotes mocking various public figures (Douglas Green, Gordon Cumming, Rose Eytinge, Fred May, Prentice Mulford) - A section titled "Justice for Serfs" criticizing Russian peasant conditions - "Honest Gambling" - commentary on cheating and gaming, suggesting English sports culture tolerates deception - Three captioned cartoon vignettes at bottom involving a conductor, passenger, and railway scenarios The page exemplifies Judge's satirical approach: mixing political/social criticism with humorous observations about contemporary society, using brief anecdotes and illustrations to mock hypocrisy, corruption, and cultural absurdities. Without specific dates or clearer context, precise historical references remain unclear, though the content targets 19th-century American and international society.

JUDGE THE ITATA doubtless searched anxiously for the Charleston to surrender to her, but the ocean is very wide. ney WE TRUST that when Gordon Cumming “showed his teeth,” as stated in the cablegrams, he made a better fist of it than when he showed his hand. DOUGLAS GREEN, who eloped with a Chicago woman, has returned with his complexion unchanged, though he does claim a little whitewash as to his morals. wasue THE OTHER DAY Jonesey got so mad that he sdid right out to Governor Hill, “Say, you mean thing! is it the square deal for you to use my office for the sole purpose of spoiling my nomination ?” ROSE EYTINGE talked to a jury the other day, and got more than two thousand dollars for it. The jury were naturally so impressed that they thought she ought to have the money whether she ought to or not. soe FRED MAY is thought to be a leader of the Chilian insurgents. Let us hope the young man will occasionally acquaint himself with the novelty of sobriety; other- wise he will get all his followers in state-prison or on the gallows. ese PRENTICE MULFORD speculated ceaselessly over our connection with the other world, and finally “went out” to see about it. He knows now, perhaps, more than he ever learned in his life; and it is doubtless his chief grief that he can’t give his information to the newspapers. See CORNELL PROFESSOR writes against collegiate athletics, declaring them ex- pensive, demoralizing and unprofitable.

A PATHETIC STORY is told of some Russian peasants who were taxed literally to death. Many of them died of starvation, and the rest had to revolt or die. Of course, the revolters were killed for the most part, but there were a few left wherewith to fill the prisons. It is difficult to tell what a peasant is to do in such extremities as that. It is merely a choice as to methods of demise. But heaven is merciful even to peasants, because any place after death is better than a peasant’s life in Russia. HONEST GAMBLING.: THERE IS ONE good thing about the case of Gordon Cumming. It is this—the higher classes of England look with horror upon a gambler z fi who cheats. There is no assumption of horror—it is the genuine thing. We AT THE RING-SIDE. of this country have the same feeling in theory, but not altogether in fact. It _ALGY—"'What! is it pawsible?
