What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary rather than traditional cartoons. The visible illustration depicts a domestic scene with a woman at a fence, appearing to reference social commentary about labor or domestic issues. The text references several political figures and issues: Senator Hill's potential candidacy for Grover Cleveland's position; Thomas B. Reed's nomination; debates about tariffs and "force bills"; and discussions of racial politics ("negroes," "negro domination"). The "He Didn't Like It" section mocks a specific incident involving horses and Ernest, suggesting personal/political embarrassment. References to the Tribune and Tribune newspaper indicate this page addresses contemporary 1890s political controversies. Without clearer image resolution, I cannot definitively identify all caricatures or specify exact events being satirized.

ERR MOST is the man least wanted in this country and thi eee STOP. Let us hope to get back to a EXTRAVAGANCE MUST billion-dollar congress. F A SOLDIER is a mere dog, as Streator thinks, surely there ought to be nothing in his bark to harm anybody. Sig [7 18 THOUGHT by some that Senator Hill will ratify by making a few speeches for Grover in Lon- don and Paris, [7 OCCURS to us that the editor who charges criticism of labor stroubles to politics is doing some- thing in that line himself. THE HEAT doesn't disturb Thomas B. Reed any. His re- nomination by acclamation shows that he is holding his own. THE QUESTION has arisen, Has the devil a wife?” ‘He has several wives, we think; but they belong to some other men. coe NEGROES ARE for the most part good Christians, But they must not be permitted t0 go to heaven. No negro domination. * a HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. (CAMERON AND QUAY are in the senate solely to reward their personal friends and get revenge on their personal opponents, We should think the great state of Pennsylvania would get tired of such statesmanship as that. = ‘SWE MIGHT as well give up the fair,” says Figaro of Chicago, in a burst of indignation at the action of congress, the prohibitionists and the Sunday-closers. Now there will be a great crowd at Chicago, and that crowd will run that fair—not the fools or the lunatics. BROKE THE PROPRIETIES. MAN went into the marble palace of the Manhattan club and shot himself dead. “Pah!” said a spike-tail. “What did he want to do it here for? This is no slaughter-house. We don’t want our furniture mussed up that way. Shooting and dying and rolling around in blood and dirt are disgusting. Pah! Why didn’t he do it in Tammany hall?” NO PEACE. «4\AR. GLADSTONE,” says the Montreal Herald, “will never allow hostile action against the United States on a Canadian quarrel.” Thus it is again'shown that the grand old William is a wise man as well as a great statesman; but we dare say the little sub-government beyond the line will continue to shake its chubby fists at us whenever it loses its patience and its nursing-bottle. A GENERAL SURRENDER. T IS FORMALLY announced by Mr. Dana’s leading Democratic journal that the Democrats cannot carry Illinois. “Tammany hall de- clares positively that they cannot carry New York, and Brother Gray has such grave doubts about Indi- ana that he doesn’t say a word. Thus the battle is given up by the Democracy before it begins, and we suppose the force bill and negro domination are foregone conclu- sions. PROTECTION. THs COUNTRY doesn’t want anarchists. It doesn’t want convicted foreign criminals or pro- fessional foreign scoundrels ot any kind. It has no room for China- men, or any other men who do not come with the purpose of citizen- ship. It is not a dumping-ground for foreign paupers, any more than it is a Botany bay for foreign ras- cals, Above all it repudiates for- eign contract labor, Hungarian, ; 7 Aor .

Don't you hear the swearing? SPEAKING OF STREATOR, the Syracuse Standard says, “The off- cer who is unable to discipline his own temper is unfit to command.” Not “temper,” Mr. Standard, Vanity, vanity. eee A CHALLENGE from the marquis de Mores to Joseph Medill would be a great thing for the Chicago Tribune; and see here, Joseph! it’s about time that bloodthirsty Frenchman was killed. M® DEACON is to be ordered out of France at the expiration of his year of penance. That isa great stroke for the virtue of a country which has fewer wise children than any other on earth. A BRITISH CRITIC speaks appreciatively of an American novelist whose name he can’t quite remember, but he thinks it is Wowells. Our English friends are always unfortunate with those particles of speech. on that kind of labor as will keep it at home until we need it. Is not that fair? If we protect the goods that labor fashions how shall we avoid protecting the labor itself? THE RIGHTS OF A SOLDIER. AS A MATTER of state pride a man becomes a state soldier. Does he thus declare himself a serf or a convict or a dog? The discipline of the regular army is severe enough; but a state soldier may have an opinion, even if it is a bad one. Private Iams is a foolish fellow; but the humiliation to which he was put by Snowden and Streator, without a court-martial or the slightest chance of defense, was’an insult to every soldier of Pennsylvania and a gross outrage on justice. These pompous officers assume too much. They are not the law, military or civil, and the men under them are not outcasts from the slums or the penitentiary. THEY WILL RATIFY AT THE POLLS. PERHAPS NEITHER PARTY had better count too much on dis- turbances in the ranks of its opponents. During this period of warmth it is extremely difficult for some people to ratify. The heart is feeble, the stomach is agitated, and the voice is faint. “Mentally I feel as badly as anybody,” explained a dry-eyed mourner at a funeral, “but I am so constituted physically that I can’t join in the hymns and sobs.” We all know of such cases, But with the cool breezes of fall there will be a change. Then indeed there will be what the 7rédune calls a hot campaign, and when the votes are counted it will be found that pretty nearly everybody has voted with his party, regardless of his angry protest or his solemn silence. comicbooks.com
