What you’re looking at
This page contains political commentary and satirical items rather than a single coherent cartoon. The main illustrated section, "AT THE LAWN FETE," depicts a social gathering where a character asks "Oh, Miss Rattle Weed! de committee wants to know if yo' woan' lend us yo' hair pins! Day's broke one ob de report wickets!" The humor appears to target class pretensions and racial stereotypes common to 1890s-era satire. Other items mock political figures: references to "Democrat" trembling with fear, criticism of Labor Commissioner Peck, and commentary on various political figures including Whitney and Shepihan. The page's tone suggests internal Republican criticism of Democratic weakness on tariff and labor issues—typical Judge magazine fare promoting Republican positions during the Gilded Age.

Very well. Is the gentleman present who was formerly sheriff of Erie county?

ELVA LOCKWOOD has been speaking for peace in Berlin. We remember a colonel in our war who was ordered to capture a portion of the enemy, and said he, “Say, general! can't we compromise this mat- ter somehow?” : SAME OLD COWARDS. F PECK is correct the Sun must be right. The tariff is dangerous for Grover, negro domination becomes the main issue, and every Democrat is trembling with agitation and fear. The tariff was enough to scare him to death, and now reappears the old question whether his daughter shall marry a black man. Mercy on us! these are hard times. A FOND ADIEU. [t IS A SWEETLY solemn thought that not for six months to come will the editors of this country be called upon to read seventy-five poems a day about the summer girl. She is saucy, piquant, pretty, a trifle bold, and rather loud in her apparel and the absence of it, and the world loves her and will not let her die; but we must kiss her and let her slide for a while or we shall all die. TWELVE MILES FROM THE LEMON. LAST YEAR millions of bushels of choice fruit rotted because of a small supply of cans. This year there isn’t so much fruit, but the California supply is so large that the transportation of it is impossible. Always the same result, whatever the supply. The same worm-eaten fruit at your grocery at the same old prices, and the better article rotting on the ground, perhaps within a dozen miles of you. Isn't it worth while to study out an improvement ? MR. CURTIS. THE WRITINGS and the record of George William Curtis are spot- less. Of what other man who wrote so much can this be said? He had force, culture and gentleness, the courage of a lion and the courtesy and charity in judgment of a gentleman. fit him as if it were made for him. There is no praise that will not There dies out with his death a fountain of philosophy, fancy, political purity, and kindly sat- ire that has been flowing fifty years. How many sigh to think that that sparkling, shining, _ tinkling abundance of. delight will gladden their eyes,, and hearts no more! ‘ THE LADIES OF C. C’S FAMILY. Era Sey HAT ABOUT the wife yee of Christopher Colum- Bus?” inquires a lady of large mind. Dear lady, let us give her the largest possible fame. 3 Let us say, with one compre- << hensive swoop, that nothing to her.detriment has yet been dis~ covered. And the mother of Christopher? She was equally happy, and it is a woman's high- est glory to give such a man to history, though she is inadvert- ently forgotten herself. We at least know that she must have ; existed, and that is much. And his sisters? Come now, dear lady! is it not too late for a legal contest about the old man's will? FUSS-AND-FEATHERS. AND TREACHERY. RAY, DEMOCRATS, that Grover.may be saved from his newspaper friends. The World advertised in advance the Republican victory in Rhode Island. It is now advertising the impending Republican vic- tory in the nation, Passing the hat openly is a confession of weakness. There is nothing the Wor/d does so well as to flaunt the white feather of fear, and it is almost as damaging to the Democratic cause as the covert sneers and the well-understood hypocrisy of the Sux. This city is Demo- cratic by a large majority. Is it not curious that it-has not one wise, honest Democratic newspaper? THE BRITISH BULWARK. ‘GAIL HAMILTON" is entitled to great praise for her work for Mrs, Maybrick; but British law would rather do injustice to a thousand persons than acknowledge itself wrong just once. What if the judge who convicted Mrs. Maybrick, acting in the capacity of her prose- cutor as well as her judge, was insane? The home secretary has his dignity to sustain, and British law is more sacred than the scriptures. And really the queen can do nothing. We should think the letter to her written by “Gail Hamilton” would touch her to the quick; but if she interfered with British law there would be serious talk of changing the locality of her crown. It is true that Mrs. Maybrick is not legally or morally guilty of the crime for which she is suffering, but that has noth- ing to do with it. : comicbooks.com
