What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple short political commentaries and one cartoon rather than a single unified cartoon. The main illustration shows an interaction between what appears to be two figures in 19th-century dress. The accompanying text "OF THE SAME OPINION STILL" references an exchange about "O'Connor" and a widow, though the specific political reference is unclear without additional context. The page's written sections address various topics: Benjamin Harrison's presidential prospects, criticism of Governor Flower's "rats" comment, and disputes between Cleveland and Hill faction Republicans in New York state politics (1882-1884 era, based on references). The satire relies on contemporary political feuds and personality clashes rather than universal themes, making the specific targets difficult for modern readers to identify without historical research into 1880s New York politics and figures like O'Connor and Governor Boyd.

THE SUPREME COURT by a recent decision makes it impossible for the Louisiana lottery company to do business through the mails, and it looks as if the company were doomed, as John A.

THE REMEDY OF DEATH. THE CZAR is said to have a peculiarly sovereign remedy for famine in Russia. It is to send his subjects back to serfdom and allow them a third of the food they produce, another third to go to the local, and the last third to the general government. There must be a providence in this thoughtful theory—the kind of providence that makes men revolt with a sufficiency of force and number to kill their masters and rule and ruin themselves. HURRAH FOR HARRISON! W'TH MR. BLAINE out of the way time will develop many Repub- lican presidential candidates; but it cannot find a better man for president, or a better president, than Benjamin Harrison. He is wise, conservative, though duly sensitive in behalf of national honor ; safe, whole- some, clean, great. He has a right to a second term and he will have it. The king is dead, long live the king. ‘These are very good words of tongue or pen— We should like to have Jim, but we're all for Ben THE MCALLISTER RODENT. HEN HE SAID “RATS” Governor Flower doubtless intended a pleasing expression in behalf of economy, and nothing more. He might have been more original and elegant in his selection of terms; but the distinguished gentlemen whom he of- fended must remember that they had not presented him with a copy of their code of criticism and conversation, and that in the absence of that he couldn't be expected to be thoroughly informed as to the only orthodox methods of politeness. Oh, let us hope that he may be forgiven! THE EDUCATIONAL CAR- TOON. ‘THE NEWSPAPERS have commented freely on the expulsion of the JUDGE from the Boston public library and inci- dentally vindicated the right of caricature, as well as the educational advantages ap- pertaining thereto. The verdict is, with a single and rather curious exception, that the man too sensitive to accept good-hu- moredly the criticism of cartoonists and editors is too feeble to be great, and the li- brary that is patterned after his foolishness is managed by too insufficient intellect. There is not language enough to do jus- tice to this subject. Just think of it! LINES TO A VACUUM. TENNYSON'S LINES on the death of Albert Victor are “not condemned justly. They are so few and emotionless, one feels that they are exactly adapted to the situation, or rather would be if they had been omitted. In work- ing a pump it is necessary to have water to make the exertion suc- cessful, and in exhibiting grief there ought to be a substratum of sor- row. While the baron could not shed any real personal tears, it seemed reasonable at first to expect him to sob on general principles for the loss to the British nation; but as there was no loss where was the groundwork for a structure of poetic regret? It is like a resumption of the great void preceding the creation, and of course no poet to sing about it. ‘An’ do yez remimber THE BLESSING OF DISSENSION. HE FIGHT in this state between the Cleveland men and the Hill men is as bitter as was that between the stalwarts and half-breeds of the Republican party in 1882, when Cleveland was elected governor by nearly two hundred thousand majority. It will give New York to the Republi- cans no matter whether Cleveland or Hill is the national nominee, or whether a western man is selected for the sacrifice, as will probably be the case. Thus history repeats the hunker-barnburner struggle, and good ‘overnment succeeds through the fallings-out of certain kinds of poli- ticians.
