ONE GOOD TERM DE FRANK LESLIE'S WEEKLY is tho only illustrated Republican news- papor in the country, and readers of the JUDGE and all Republicans will find it a newspaper especially devoted to their interests. CE—* Bring on your crow.” NY UNION with the farmers of the alliance must necessarily be a mesalliance, P CHE PEOPLE'S PARTY lacks one essential thing—that is to say, the support of the people. AMERICAD are not striking. Hun- garians are. Let these men have the benefit of their nativity. . VT AMMANY has no axes to grind,” says somebody. No; and the knives appear to be sharp enough too. ese ‘ WHEN ENGLAND heard that Oscar Wilde proposed to make a French citizen of himself the queen dissolved par- liament and resumed her mourning. FTER READING the declarations of the alliance party several persons, who thus discovered how unhappy they were, went off and got themselves drowned. F THE MUGWUMP were to shut his mouth, in deference to the demand of the Elmira Gazette, he would talk with the rims of his active and unique ears. SENATOR HILL is delightfully inde- pendent, now that the presidential lightning has missed him. He can vote for free silver and otherwise besmirch his intellect without losing a vote. eee A M*: CALLICOTT, for years, the able editor. of Mr Hill's Albany organ, the 7zmes, was. so enthusiastic over Grover’s nomination that he immediately threw up his hat and: his. situation. CieRk (inside)—** Ves, sir, year’s salary." THE GREATEST GRAND ARMY is that called the Christian En- deavor; and while all do not believe as they do, their theories are clean and profitable beyond a shadow of a doubt. Of what other army can this be truly said? WHY HE KILLED. RAVACHOL, the guillotined murderer, said he was honest when he had work; then he obeyed the natural instinct of self-preservation. That is to say, he killed such persons as had the instinct but not the power of self-preservation. It was a right he claimed for himself and denied to others, and his defense was that of the anarchist and the brute. THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. F CLEVELAND is elected he will be expected by the mugwumps to keep in office such good men as are already in office. If there are changes the favored men must be mugwumps, as they were during Clev land’s first term. Certainly no Tammany man need apply, for, according to the mugwumps who nominated Cleveland, Tammany is made up of scoundrels from the first to the last man. ‘A BAD RISK. * Ever.ax—' Is this the Americay bond company Evextean—'* I'd like ter have yer go,on: me-bond: fet ten thousand dollars.

BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE of certain beverages the probibitionists would stop their use, Thus they would impoverish the farmer, the fruit-raiser, and the hundreds of thousands of workmen of the brewers, and forbid the communion vessel. What if people should pronounce against water because certain persons get drowned? Is it right that the many should suffer because of the foolishness of the few? THEY MUST FLOCK SEPARATELY. WE TRUST the mugwumps and the Tammany Democrats will not “get together.” If they do there will be a row. The raiment of the former will be soiled and the parting of their hair will be mussed. The two armies must go into the struggle each by itself, the long-haired angels alone and the short-haired blood-tubs by themselves, or there will be such carnage before the legitimate battle as the world has not yet seen, PROTECTION FOR LABOR.— ¥ THERE ARE FEW, if any, Americans among the strikers at Home- stead. The strikers were imported some years ago to compete with labor that was more American than theirs is. That they should strike is retribution for the capital that brought them over, There is too much of this imported labor, and its importation is injustice to the home article. There ought to be such a tax on imported labor as would put a check on its importation, How absurd it is to tax foreign goods and permit free trade in the brain and muscle that make them! THOSE HESSIANS. [= SEEMS REASONABLE to suppose that men have a right to protect their own property; but where the Pinkertons get their right to kill people, having au- thority from nobody but a Pinkerton, re- mains to be discovered. There is no local or general law under which they can act legally, whether they fight with a mob or against a mob. They are indifferent to all the legal checks which good citizens are obliged to respect, and therefore when they kill they are guily of murder. They are Organized law-breakers and there has been too much of them. THE SICKENING AMENITIES. SOME FRIENDS of Mr. Blaine, who have and have had as good a right to their opinions as we have to ours, com- plain that the JUDGE touches them on their raw spots,.and think it ought rather to. pat them on their callow cheeks and put the loving-cup to their supposedly - uncut gums, But other friends of Mr. i ‘is Blaine—to whom the JUDGE gives its What ean I do foryou?”” > affection and admiration, now as hereto- even to those nearly connected with the eye, and we guess they rather enjoy the reception of such hard knocks as they are liberal in giving to others. The ‘Sun, which is ardently supporting the late Mr. Tilden for president and a Mr. Stevenson of Illinois for the second place, is in apparent-sympathy with: the more youthful and tender of Mr. Blaine’s friends, and begins its condolence thus : Our esteemed pictorial Republican contemporary, Jopce, seems to be serenely careless of the heroic struggles which the Hon. Benjamin Harrison is making to lure the angel of harmony into the Republican politics of this state. Mr. Harrison is petitioning, remon- strating, and supplicating, and seeking by many ambassadors to establish a modus vivendi with that lately hostile and now studiously neutral power, the Hon. Thomas Collier Platt. Junce is tangling up the work of reconciliation by depicting Mr. Platt as a bandit bold, swinging a mighty knife and gloating over the prospect of slitting: General Harrison's mazard. If we were in Mr. Harrison's place we should perhaps solicit harmony after his manner, though he isn’t a good hand at coaxing, and there is at this writing no dust on the knees of his trousers. But, while the JuDGE supports Republican principles ‘because it likes them, it is not in Mr. Harrison's place, and the ground it occupies belongs not to the Republi- can party, but to itself alone, The JUDGE is the organ of the people, and it is its main purpose to be as nearly right, in its dealings with both parties, as it can. And as to harmony—bless Major-general Dana’s seething soul! if there were such a thing as that, such a state of tedious and un- profitable quiescence, such ennui, such stinking water with green scum on it, there wouldn't be anything in politics or life worth having. Har- mony? Scat! Get thee a pair of wings and go to heaven. comicbooks.com
