What you’re looking at
The main cartoon, titled "Graduated in High Standing," depicts two figures (labeled "Cal. Lebris" and "Hypo Cutter") discussing a third person's "tap-stone" (likely a misprint for "tap-stone" or similar). One character claims the subject "got graduated from the cooking-school," suggesting someone recently finished a disreputable educational institution. The cartoon appears to satirize political incompetence or corruption—someone being "graduated" into a position despite dubious qualifications. The surrounding text discusses Democratic party politics, electoral candidates, and reciprocal trade policies. Without clearer figure identification or specific historical context, the exact political targets remain unclear, though the satire targets what Judge deemed inadequate or corrupt political appointments or practices of its era.

But what a M®- WHITTIER frankly admits, though he was there at the time, that he has to rely on the word of his mother as to the period of his birth. Mr. Whittier never did have much confidence in his memory. R, ELKINS as secretary of war is not satisfactory to the Democratic press. Perhaps it would prefer a man like Floyd, who turned over a large amount of war material to the southern confederacy carly in 1861.

THE UNAVOIDABLE. ss ]N CASE I should be compelled to take the nomination,” says Mr, Blaine in some casual conversation. In other words, Mr. Blaine appreciates the fact that he owes a duty to the Republican party quite as great as any he may owe to himself or some other man. And does he not? WHAT NEXT? W'!TH THE FIRST oppor- tunity they had the rep- resentatives of the Democratic party at Washington repudiated poor Mills and his poor tariff. With such a beginning as that what is the party likely to do next November, when beyond question the tariff will be the leading issue, with silver as a truly bad second? THE ONLY JUST MONOPOLY.

RECIPROCITY. HE WHOLE WORLD favors it. Every business man favors it. It belongs to every bargain and to every business and social interest. You trade with me and I'll trade with you. You treat me fairly and I'll treat you fairly. You love me and I'll love you. Otherwise we can't trade. Otherwise we can’t mingle and be affectionate. Self-preservation, or in another word protection, makes necessary the bar between us that comes with your refusal. Self-interest first and fair trade whenever and wherever it is possible and profitable. MAINE AND OHIO. ‘THE NEWSPAPERS are nominating national candidates with great haste and frequency. The JUDGE proposes to leave something to the national conventions, and in its modest way merely makes suggestions ; but it must insist with some vehemence that William McKinley of Ohio is the man for the second place on the ticket with Mr. Blaine of Maine. The claims of this man are so great, and at this time so important, that they ought to have a good deal of influence in the selection of the man for the first place. And what a ticket that would be—Dlaine of Maine and McKinley of Ohio! What a platform that would be—protection as the leading principle and reciprocity as the means to perfectly fair play in its adjustment and enforcement!
