What you’re looking at
The page contains satirical commentary rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration titled "A NEW HAND" depicts a figure at a ship's wheel in stormy conditions, likely representing political leadership navigating turbulent times. The text sections mock various public figures and situations: - "JOHN'S PERENNIAL GUSH" ridicules someone named Wanamaker - "UNCLE BEN" discusses Butler as a man of contradictions—brave as soldier, lawyer, thinker, but indifferent to suffering - Multiple brief satirical items target politicians and public figures The "WALES AND THE KAISER" section discusses European royalty's potential visit and political complications. "OUR OWN DONNYBROOK" references Kansas's violent political history (likely Bleeding Kansas era disputes). Without visible publication date, specific attribution remains unclear, though content suggests late 19th-century American politics.

F THIS is a good old-fashioned winter what in the way of human suffering would be a bad one? THE FIGHTS inside the Roman church are giving a large amount of liberty to the sinners outside of it. THE MUGWUMP attacks on Tam- many are frequent and severe. Faithful are the wounds of a friend. EATHER-SHARP DUNN prog- nosticates with extreme success. Well, Dunn, good and faithful servant, what next? THE LADY who has been secretary of state of Kansas recently drew a pistol and almost shot herself in the small of the ORD of sixty-five hundred laimed by a Ken- tucky justice of the peace. In that connection “justice of the peace” is xood. Le GREAT MYSTERY—That some enterprising man or company doesn’t buy up and use up the gar- bage of this city and so become a mill- ionaire.

THE LETTER of Gail Hamilton to Mr. Gladstone regarding Mrs. Maybrick has the indorsement of the whole world with the sole exception of the English government. A GENTLE HINT. THE RESOLUTION of confidence in Murphy by the Cleveland electors was pretty and appropriate. It said in effect, “ We believe the New Par (doing lookout duty for the first time)— ic * What is it, Pat?’ Well, what do you see? see a rid an’ a grane loight, an’ Oi think it must be a York legislature understand: business, and we trust that hereafter our magnificent standard-bearer will confine himself to his.” FROM OUR NEW DICTIONARY. GENIUS, according to a writer in the Popular Science Monthy, is a special morbid condition. Genius, let us suggest, is the art of knowing more about some particular thing than anybody else does, and the penalty of it is to be called eccentric by the level-headed fool who knows nothing of his own knowledge about anything whatever. JOHN’S PERENNIAL GUSH. MB. WANAMAKER is presented in Printer's Jnk as. Justice, the statue to that effect being more or less a work of art. These delicate compliments make Mr. Wanamaker weep copiously, and they are so fre- quent that he has to carry an umbrella, wear over-shoes, and keep a couple of handkerchiefs in every pocket and one at each eye. Even at that you can hear the water in his boots swash around every time he takes a walk. PROGRESS OF THE KICKERS. VAUDEVILLE AT MIDNIGHT, with the accompaniments of beer and tobacco, has the sanction and patronage of a portion of our best society. It is an effort to elevate the concert-hall, or perhaps to descend to it—at all events to enjoy it. The high-kickers and the low ones, the song-and-dance artists, the acrobats and the minstrels, are to be encour- aged openly instead of in the privacy of various studios, and the pure and lofty ideal of Boster and Keel will final- ly be reached. It will probably last through a season, and meanwhile what will Father Knickerbocker say? UNCLE BEN. BEN BUTLER was a man of ideas, They were Lright, startling, at times absurd to the average mind, but none of them ever frightened him, He was brave as a soldier, a citizen, a lawyer and a thinker, and unique in everything. He made friends and en- emies with ease and rapidit was as indifferent to the one class as. the other. He has been roundly abus- ed, but, as he once remarked, nobody ever called him a fool. He was in- tensely American, and will be often recalled as one of the most conspicu- ous of the great men of his day. The country and the caricaturist will re- member him with affection and regret: THE BUREAU OF PUB- HiND LICITY. W*! AND THE KAIS have declared that they will not visit the world’s fair, but the manag- ers of that institution have still the czar, Francis Joseph, the little king of Spain, the pope, Humbert, and a few others to draw upon. Christian of Denmark wouldn't be a bad card as the father of the most distinguished family in the world, and the crazy king of Bavaria would beat all others if he might be brought over in a cage. Finally, there are ex-King Milan and the duke of Orleans, to say nothing of the head of the Bonapartes and ex-Queen Isabella, if she hap- pens to be alive. It is not likely that any of these persons will come, but théir names anid titles would look just as well on the big bills, OUR OWN DONNYBROOK. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Kansas territory was called bleeding Kansas. The state was born of ‘the fire of politics and war, and John Brown began there the anti-slavery fight of arms which ended with his execution at Harper's Ferry. The settlers of Kansas were largely from New England on the one side and Missouri and the southern border on the other. ‘They had the combative front and the blazing eyes of their descendants of to-day, and it is not strange that the politics of the state at this time should be so earnest as to be a continual threat of armed hostilities. But the emancipation proclamation brought new issues to Kansas, and her victories to-day, barring a few black eyes and. bruised hearts, are those of peace. * Hilloo !" comicbooks.com
