The cartoon depicts two men in Victorian dress examining a pig labeled "CAUGHTON HOG." Based on the surrounding editorial content criticizing the "Dispatch" newspaper and references to factual disputes, this appears to be political satire about unreliable journalism or fabricated stories. The text mentions the *Dispatch* persisting with false claims despite correction, suggesting the "hog" symbolizes a false or exaggerated news story that publications keep pushing. The well-dressed figures likely represent editors or journalists, treating misinformation as a commodity. The exact political figures or specific incident referenced remain unclear without additional context, but this clearly satirizes yellow journalism practices of the period—the publication and repetition of unverified or false claims for sensationalism.

Recently he remarked to the nurse with mingled pain and anger, “ You act like the very old Dave Hill himself.” T IS ONLY just to remember after election that the man of the wild campaign prophecy struck out in the heat of debate. During such a condition it is not surprising if the blow hits nothing but its author's eye. R. HOWELLS never omits anything peculiar in a word-picture. Thus he records an engagement during the throes of a hen on an unpainted picket fence, and as the lady says yes he makes the hen crow, THE WIDOW of Boulanger fainted twice when she heard of the gen- eral’s suicide; and when she had completed the second act a sepul- chral voice called out to her, “Very well indeed, my dear; but you had better do it again.” T 1S NOT fair in the Pitsburg Dispatch, against undoubted informa- tion to the contrary, to persist in its falschood that Mr. Russell B, Harrison is connected with the JUDGE. Mr. Harrison has nothing what- ever to do with the JUDGE; and even the Dispatch can sce how unjust it is to him to make him in any way responsible for the JUDGE'S cartoons. EARNEST UNSELFISHNESS. MEN LIKE John Swinton give all they have to their enthusiasm, reserving purely by accident the boot-straps necessary to pull themselves back to the surface, If the workers they work for were half as gener- ous the misers would get down to the shirts on their backs, but kindly leave them the ~ muscle necessary to earn more and drive an- other bargain. A CURIOUS SITUATION. [TIS OPENLY declared by Brooklyn Dem- ocrats that Governor Hill will not get the Kings delegation next year. That means serious trouble for the governor; and there such opposition to him in this town and in rie and several other of the outside districts that he may lose the majority he flatters him- self he has secured. On the other hand, if Flower is defeated there may be a rush for him as the only Democrat who can carry the state for the national ticket. ELIJAH. MB: HALFORD, private secretary of ‘the president, is a Methodist and at times an exhorter.. ‘The JUDGE hereby acquits him of the charge that he visited the headquarters of the Republicans in this city on a Sunday, partly because it knows he wouldn't do it, and otherwise because the doors of the head- quarters were not open on that day. In other words, Secretary Halford is still a Methodist in good standing, and can go on with his psalms and converting just as if the mean old charge had never been preferred. Last night [Twas called it, everybody greets PEACE WITHOUT ARMIES? S¢]F FRANCE were to disarm to-morrow,” says the New York Re- corder, “there can be no question that Germany would follow her example.” Here is a quick and satisfactory newspaper settlement of the differences between France and Germany. We beg to congratulate the great diplomatist of the Recorder. No other could do so much so quickly. But we must also congratulate the czar, with whom war at certain inter- vals appears to be a necessity, and the king of Italy, whose occasionally extending possessions are a menace to France; and to join our tears with those of the sultan, who continues ill. For the truth is that there will be fighting as long as men are men, and it may even be necessary to the life and the profit of the survivors and the people who come after them. Peace is beautiful. but impossible owing to circumstances beyond the con- trol of mankind, who have not learned to soothe and guide their ambition and the selfishness which naturally attends it. We shall have peace and free teade in heaven, good chief of statecraft; but they are not adapted to the various climates of this combative world. comicbooks.com
