What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary and social satire typical of late 19th-century Judge magazine. Key items include: **"Modest"** cartoon depicts a woman (Mrs. Winterbrook) and Colonel Alpenstock discussing propriety—she's shocked by a woman's public behavior, he defends it as modest compared to past excess. **"Skeptical"** shows Ebenezer Covenock, apparently skeptical of claims of moral improvement. **"The Old Dilemma"** discusses the church's difficulty fighting immorality while avoiding political entanglement. **"Sad Result of Toasting"** mocks Miss Pasde, described as looking "dry and crisp"—satirizing women's social rituals around toasting at gatherings. The page reflects Victorian anxieties about changing social standards, women's public roles, and propriety. Without clearer dates or context, specific political figures remain unclear.

Ea RECENTLY the president of a business institution was retired with a pension of nearly forty thousand dollars a year because of his great ability in acquiring for his company the money which he subsequently misappropriated. THE OLD DILEMMA. ‘THE CHURCH cannot fight sin with entire success unless it attacks immoral politics; but if it succeeds it will be certain to assume a dictatorial political power that will eventually drag both it and its politics into the mire. That is history—the most melan- choly and horrible history ever written. There is great progress, however, and it may be that oil and water have learned how to mix. AS IT LOOKS NOW. 'HE BOSSES of this state are not with David because the bosses of the other states are against him. It is a long road to the national convention and there may be a change; ‘but Gorman and Brice have stopped their enthusing, and Flower and Whitney have the money which David lacks.
