The central cartoon, titled "TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE," depicts what appears to be a political dinner scene with multiple figures engaged in animated discussion. The accompanying text critiques politicians' claims about administrative competence, suggesting that voters elected "the entire administration" rather than just a president, and warning that "frequent changes of office-holders corruption is inevitable." The various short editorial comments ("snippets") throughout the page mock political figures and current events—references to Brother Crop's speech, D.B. Hill, and Carl Schurz as a "practical politician." The satire targets 1890s political corruption, office-seeking, and the revolving-door nature of government appointments that characterized the Gilded Age.

It will amount to nothing. The wealth of the few is large enough to buy up the dissatisfaction of the many. GENEROSITY BEFORE DEATH. PHILIP D. ARMOUR has given a million and a half dollars to a Chicago educational institution. When a millionaire in good health is thus wisely generous, his will is likely to be good enough to be written in letters of gold, PRIDE IS OUT IN THE WET. THE WORKER during the late election, Mr. Harrison thinks, was exclusive against his employer; he wouldn't let the employer walk under the same umbrella with him. The aristocracy of labor may be mentioned as a big thing. We hope it will not go so far that there will be no umbrella for anybody, because there promises to be some very wet weather. THE GOULD THAT GLITTERS. T IS URGED in bebalf of Mr. Gould that he was a thoroughly domestic man, He certainly was. It was the more creditable to him because of the career of his partner, Jim Fisk, who set him a horrible ex- ample—and had a premature death in consequence. No scandal ever found its way to Jay Goulds door. He attended church regularly and had the most regular of good habits. And we must admit that he indorsed the universally accepted doctrine that char- ity begins at home—and ends there. HIS DEAREST FOES. THE SNUB TO MR. CRISP at the tariff-reform dinner was a.piece of stupidity worthy of the superior being who delights to call himself an un- practical politician, and will give de- light to the Democratic opponents of the president-elect and satisfaction to nobody else. It is a proclamation that the Ellery. Andersons and the Godkins have chips on their shoulders, and re- opens an old fight that had been prac- tically settled and forgotten. As be- tween his friends and his enemies Mr. Cleveland will presently have no time for the most necessary prayer of all— the one that he be saved from himself. OFF WITH YOUR HEADS! THE JUDGE INVITES federal Republican office-holders to send their resignations with extreme rapidity. That is the way for them to begin the new year. It is due to the government and their self-respect. ‘The people have voted out, not merely a president, but the entire admin- istration of that able and excellent gentleman; and it is a fact that with- out frequent changes of office-holders corruption is inevitable. We must have no hereditary office-holding here. The voice of the people is right whether you or we think it is right or not. Off with your own head, you federal office-holder! Don’t wait for the demand for it that should and is sure to come, CARL SCHURZ AS A PRACTICAL POLITICIAN. No politician in his generation has got so much out of politics as he (Carl Schurz) has and sacrificed so little. He has been diplomatic representative, major-general, special agent, senator, and cabinet officer; and in no position has he contributed anything of im- portance to tL: public service. He has been Republican, liberal Republican, Democrat, independent, and mugwump ; not simply deserting, but going and returning from one ‘camp to the other at will—" everything by turns and nothing long."—Rachester Post- Expres. ALL THE HONORS won by Mr. Schurz have come to him through the management, the force and ingenuity, of the practical politician, He and his kind never won an office or a victory through their own efforts. They are the hangers-on between the two camps who refrain from fight ing that they may be in good condition to enjoy the victory, to whichever camp it may come. What sublimity of egotism it requires for such men to proclaim their superiority to the workers who give them the honors they are always willing to take! What magnificent impudence it is to declare that Mr. Cleveland is better than the men who made him, and Mr. Schurz is better than the practical politicians who have contributed so largely and unselfishly to his success.
