The main cartoon titled "QUITE EVIDENT" depicts a street scene where a man in a top hat (appearing to be a politician or wealthy figure) stands with a woman and child. The caption reads: "Wat's de fare to Charles'on?" / "Single" / "Married, boss?" / "Married, boss." This appears to be satirizing political hypocrisy regarding family values or marital status among public figures. The joke likely comments on how politicians present themselves differently in public versus private life, or how wealth/position allows selective morality. The surrounding text snippets mock various political figures and their contradictions—Governor Russell's salary conscience, discussions of coinage policy, and critiques of party leadership. The overall theme targets political inconsistency and corruption during this era (appears to be early 1900s based on style).

A SERIOUS QUESTION. = LEARN from the Buffalo Courier that the time is coming when the average woman will be more intelligent than the average man. It would be interesting to know whether the change is to come through the deterioration of the man or the advancenient of the other party. TWO MEN AT THE BAR. HE BAR ASSOCIATION of this state does well to investigate Isaac H. Maynard in connection with his recent rape of election returns, and thereby of the state senate and his own judgeship; but what has it to say of the distinguished lawyer David B. Hill, who instigated the theft and the reward for it, and who has twice been president of the associa- tion? THE ORIGINAL GERM. OLD ALLEN THURMAN is confined to his chair by the most dread~ ful rheumatism. “ Yes.” he said to the members of the Ohio assem- bly who visited him recently, “it is so bad that it threatens my life, but Hl foil it yet." They congratulated him on his old Roman firmness, and wanted to know how he could do it. “Well,” said he, with an old Roman grimace of agony, “I'll _knock it out with my old Democratic faith and perish of that.” THEIR CONSCIENCE - MONEY. GOVERNOR RUSSELL of Massa- chusetts will sign a bill making the annual salary of his office ten thousand dollars, providing it does not take effect while he occupies the position, and Sen- ator Hill has turned his back salary back into the treasury. If there are any other candidates for the presidency let them ex- hibit their account-books; but they might as well remember that Garfield, who kept his back salary as a congressman, after- ward became the chief executive. THE SAME OLD JACKASS. ADOPT FREE COINAGE, men of the Democratic party, and it stands a fair chance of becoming the leading topic of the campaign, as the opponents ot Cleveland want it to be. Happily it can- not become law; but it will put in the -background the only issue in behalf of which your party has any kind of courage or popularity. Will the party dare stick to Cleveland and tariff reform? Probably not. The Democratic party never had the chance to make a fool of itself without ardently embracing it. THE OSBORNES. APTAIN OSBORNE married principally for worse; and if there is sympathy for anybody in the case with which he is innocently con- nected he had better have a fair share of it. Doubtless his guilty wife is a victim of heredity as to her stealing and perjury, and: suffers from shame quite as much as from guilt—for pity is easier than justice; but what of the man who never takes off his clothes at night without the ap- prehension that he will find nothing but himself in them in the morning ? THE MODERN BURNT-OFFERING, [F THE CHURCH were to refuse all money not religiously and prayer- fully acquired it would have very few large properties. If it is for- bidden a man to be generous to the church because he is thought to be a bad man, where is the man to get his redemption? The money possessed bya bad man cannot get back to its rightful owners, and why not com- promise the matter by giving it to the church? That is the natural receptacle for bruised hearts and battered consciences, and the church treasury is a confessional whereat it may be profitable to unload. comicbooks.com
