What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical brief items and illustrations typical of Judge's political commentary: **"An Executed Commission"** depicts what appears to be a street scene with vendors and bottles, likely satirizing municipal corruption or inadequate city services. **"On the Church-Service Promenade"** illustrates well-dressed figures, apparently mocking upper-class social pretension during religious occasions. **"Our American Republics"** discusses South American revolutions, particularly Mexico's instability, suggesting American concerns about regional political chaos and advocating for protective measures against foreign intervention. The page combines local New York satirical observations with commentary on international affairs. Without specific dates or clearer context for individual items, precise identification of all figures remains uncertain, though the overall tone criticizes political incompetence, social hypocrisy, and foreign policy anxieties characteristic of Judge's editorial approach.

Soh) PRAISE FOR BLAINE is voluminous and unadultered in Harper's Weekly; but it gen- erally closes with the postscript, “Still, we think just as we have thought heretofore.” This is so significant that it can hardly fail to be looked at with curiosity. OUR AMERICAN REPUBLICS. TH SUCCESS of the revolutionists in Chili is likely to create trouble in other parts of South America. The Mexicans have a tolerably good government—quite as good as they de- serve, considering that not half of them exercise the privilege of the ballot-box; but a Mexican revolution is not entirely bad, since it abolishes the lethargy that generally prevails among them. There ought, how- ever, to be no revolution j anywhere south of us. All ~ the force that belongs to South America ought to be kept unused until it shall be needed against foreign in- vasion. That is a part of Mr. Blaine’s continental pol icy; and if we can’t have those southern republics un- der our banner, by way of mutual protection, they” APOLOGETIC, should at least refrain from SQUAM INLET PostMASTER—"'I'm beggin’ your everlastin’ par- don, lady, but ‘deed it warn’t my fault.
