What you’re looking at
The main cartoon titled "A MISDIRECTED GENIUS" depicts a poorly-dressed man showing papers to what appears to be a well-dressed woman and another figure. The caption suggests he's attempting to sell or promote something—possibly a written work or scheme—but targeting the wrong audience. The surrounding text snippets are editorial commentary on various political and social topics of the era, including remarks about British diplomat Buncco-steers O'Brien, German emperor Wilhelm II, Anna Dickinson (a women's rights advocate), and various American political figures. The overall page functions as satirical social criticism typical of Judge magazine, mocking contemporary political figures, social reformers, and public scandals through brief jokes and illustrated commentary rather than sustained narrative.

JHE MAN who predicts that David B. Hill will retire to private life knows so little of the gentleman that we feel sure he never heard of him. KING CHRISTIAN of Denmark, having furnished the world with wo queens and a king, has a right to a golden wedding, the two bowers and the joker. WHEN MR.

SHINGLE of Kentucky had so much to say in the Omaha confer- ence that one of the members got mad and declared he didn’t know enough to go in when it rained. A MISDIRECTED GENIUS. Mx. Roccrrs—"' Who's that, you young rascal?" SILAS (who has been doing some charcoal work)—"' B-ben B-butler, pop.” 1 it's great; boy. WE LOOK upon Bunco-steerer O'Brien as the king of skippers and the prince of diplomatists. Had that man been born honest he might have hooked the throne of England. choirs 46 BRING ME my high horse!” exclaimed the German emperor loftily, picking himself out of the ditch into which four ordinary beasts had flung him; “I néver could get along with those plebeian animals.” THE SCARLET FEMALE, R. BYRNES believes in sequestrating the social evil and having it properly regulated. No greater reform is possible; and yet Anna Dickinson, who proposed the same choice of evils twenty years ago, was abused for it like a pickpocket. The question seems to be, whether the evil shall regulate the public or the public shall regulate the evil. A BAD EXAMPLE, ‘THE PARIS WOMAN who killed her husband's sweetheart has gone too far. She has usurped a privilege belonging solely to the other sex. Then she was utterly brutal in the commission of her crime, in veri- fication of the old truth and experience that no woman knows when to stop. We can almost say of her that she is thirty years ahead of her age. THE COMPROMISE SALOON. HE PROPOSITION of Dr. Rainsford to have church saloons for the dispensation of soft drinks like beer and light wines doesn’t go far enough. We must have regard for the associations belonging to such *~ indulgences. There must be art galleries like that of Mr, Stokes; and*for the capture of the lower classes of drinkers there must be cards, dirt, sawdust, pool for drinks, and the utmost-ligense of profanity. Ce ; THE REWARD OF COW- ARDICE. OIES CANNOT be nominated, thinks the Troy Press, “be- cause he was elected governor on a {ree-silver platform, which he in- dorsed.” And Cleveland, it is urg- ed, cannot be nominated because of his letter favoring fair money and opposing free silver. What then? Well, somebody must _be nominated on a no-silver platform, or in other words some man who has no silver views whatever, or, if he has them, is afraid to publish them. WOMAN'S RIGHT TO “LIVE. ‘THE METHODIST CONFER- ENCE at Westminster, Mary- land, decided, after a discussion lasting two days, to admit women dele- gates, and the decision was largely the result of a speech by the Rev. Mrs. St.John. Anything may be hoped when the church becomes as liberal in this regard as are the professions and the world of work and business. The right of a woman to educate herself has been partially conceded by the colleges, and to tell the truthgwe have long held the opinion that women have been admitted to positions among the angels ever since they began to die. T'll have to send you down LIFE AROUND THE HOLY MOSES MINE. R. JACK PUGH died suddenly a few days ago, at Creede, Colorado, from a bullet fired into him by a deputy-marshal. “ He was a man,” says the Creede Chronicle, “who was primarily a gentleman, and after that a man who was afraid of nothing on earth.” It is a fair inference, from the fact that.he had shot two mea, that his primary education had been somewhat neglected. The Chronicle, however, after shedding a few tears over Mr. Pugh, becomes reflective and boastful. “About the time Cripple Creek thinks it has the edge,” it says in an editorial paragraph, “Creede comes to the front with a killing. Pass the buck and ante up. Again it says, gently chiding the editor of the Salida Press for some ir- reverence regarding Creede, “It is none of his business if the whole camp goes on a tear and winds up in hades.” The gentleness and philosophy of Creede are an improvement on the ways of the ‘forty-niners, They used to give hades only four letters and one syllable. comicbooks.com
