The main cartoon titled "AT A DISADVANTAGE" depicts two figures in what appears to be a physical altercation or confrontation near a window. The caption reads: "McGRATH (to his windrow-mark his fallen and take his attentions)—'Sorra th' day O! got this rid nose upon me!'" This appears to be Irish dialect humor, common in late 19th/early 20th-century American satire. The joke likely centers on an Irishman (McGrath) complaining about his bruised nose after a fight, blaming his misfortune on bad luck rather than accepting responsibility. The surrounding text includes various brief satirical commentary pieces on political and social topics, including references to the inaugural ball and debates about foreign labor immigration—typical Judge magazine content addressing contemporary American concerns.

That is to say, there are four or five persons who think she has some. F THE MILLIONS of Democrats in this country it is judged by the new Democratic president that not one is fit to be the chief of his cabinet. BUT ONE THING in stage talent is greater than the tragedy of Duse, and that is her comedy. She has dissected the emotions and is mis- tress of them all. ST PATRICK will have much to do with this inauguration; but the seventeenth is coming, and he must s' i do no cheering through his hat. HE LANGUAGE has not words sufficiently severe to condemn the burning of the black man in Texas. Nothing can equal that atrocity but the crime for which the scoundrel suffered AT A DISADVANTAGE. indow-sazh has fallen and who has attracted * Sorra th’ day Oi'got this rid nose upon me !"* WOMAN of Boston has cried out before a Massachusetts legislative. committee that she doesn’t want the suffrage and won't have it, and she is a tax-payer and.a mother too. If the suffragists had a vote on that woman they would crush her by a large majority. A GRAND OLD MAN. HE ELDER LESSEPS is guilty of no crime. He tried to repeat at Panama the glory he achieved at Suez, and the politicians and fast men of Paris took advantage of his ambition and his need and spent the money he designed for that work. He is too great a man to serve as a seapegoat, and his humiliation is the disgrace of the republic. THE IMPENDING ARGUMENT. A PUGILIST of England trained on the tread-mill for a contemplated fight with the Hon. Mr. Corbett. Thus he developed his muscle, but more especially his tongue, with which he does his fighting, for his profanity was frightful. The JUDGE has small interest in international matters of this kind, which are usually mere repetitions of our congres- sional debates; but if the Hon. Mr. Corbett doesn’t flog that man within a hair's-breadth of his life it will sentence him to the tread-mill himself, with bread and water and not the first bouquet. THE INAUGURAL BALL. ‘TAMMANY will be permitted to do the parading, but the mugwumps will have charge of the inaugural ball, The voting and marching are for the populace, but the more sthetic exercises are for the exclusive who wear the silk stocking and the spike- tail. This is the comprehensive de- mocracy that recognizes the rights of all classes as well as the propriety of the dividing-line; but, far more, it in- sures peace and no further damage to the heads involved than the swell- ing of the same from purely bibulous and therefore legitimate causes. There will be fun, fatigue, and harmony with- out a club. THE NEW GREAT QUES- TION. HE OPINION of Dr. Mary Walker with regard to the crinoline is in- ited by the Albany Argus. We at least know that the doctor would never wear the crinoline with her pantaloons, because she could never tell which ought to go outside; and whether that is judgment for or against the inflated terror only the man-milliner of the Buffalo Express, who ardently defends it, is able to decide. The JUDGE is in doubt as to the advisability of the superfluous rotundity; but while we are passing laws against the admission of foreign crime and pauperism some- thing might be done to relieve us of objectionable foreign fashions. THE DEPARTING GUEST. HERE HAS BEEN no brighter, abler or honester man in the white- house than Benjamin Harrison. His speeches and messages have been without a flaw, and his motives have never been brought in question to be denounced. His declaration that in the late election the aristocracy of labor was so pronounced that it “wouldn't walk under the same um- brella with capital” is a type of the quiet but keen wit which attends his thought and conversation and illuminates most of his official documents. He has honored the country as much as it has honored him. The JUDGE gives him farewell with its utmost respect, and so much the better if the word should be merely good-bye. A PARTISAN SUPREME COURT? WHY SHOULD Clarkson and Fassett bother themselves about the partisanism of the supreme court? The members of that body are to judge not the justice of enactments, but their legality and constitution- ality. ‘They would be scoundrels if they did otherwise, and would be de- nounced by the bench and bar and the people of the whole country. But Clarkson and Fassett are really not shocked and grieved about that. The trouble with them is their hatred of the man in the white-house who tried to be their benefactor. The men who wanted to pull Blaine from his death-bed and slaughter him outright, to bring Harrison to humiliation, are inconsistent and unreasonable as well as unscrupulous. It will profit them to think more and talk less. comicbooks.com
