What you’re looking at
This page contains political commentary rather than a single cartoon. The main illustrated piece shows a tall figure (appears to be a political or public figure) bending down to interact with a small child, captioned "And this is the length of Mr. Long upon the street." The text articles below mock various political figures and policies. "Mr. Godkin's Sufferings" discusses chronic dyspepsia (indigestion) as a metaphor for political troubles. "The Black American" addresses the employment of Black workers by industrialists, presenting it as progress on racial questions. The overall tone is satirical commentary on contemporary political figures, government policies, and social issues of the era, though specific identifications of individuals referenced (beyond "Mr. Long") remain unclear without additional historical context.

Why should a good man be kept in re Some day the people will make a law of their own againt such villainy that will work rapidly if not well. We trust the day is afar off, but avarice is doing all it can to hasten its coming. THE AMAZING CLARKSON. MB: CLARKSON ‘says that if Mr. Blaine had been nominated and elected he would have been alive to-day. The eccentricities of death are numerous, but it is not known that destruction of any particular man has been postponed for the gratification of even the Republican party. But Clarkson knows. He knows everything. He began his universal knowledge long before the late national campaign, and it hasn't been killed yet. THE UNCOMPLETED ROMANCE. SOME NEW STORY-TELLERS think it cunning to stop their stories in the middle, That will be the case with their careers. They ought to be hanged, and some of them will be or an exasperated public will i quire as to the reason of their survival. It is false pretense and unmi gated swindle to invite a reading of matter that has no satisfactory con- clusion. We should think publishers would know better than to print such stuff, A SAFE MAN. HE AMBITION of Patrick A, Collins to be a second Parnell appar- ently has the indorsement of this government. and we should think the English would feel rather queer about it. But it is safe to say that Mr. Collins will not attempt the capture of London by force of arms until his term as consul-general has expired, or until his resignation of the position, be- cause the London we allude to is not in Canada and the fenian organization hasn't recently been heard from. MR. GODKIN’S SUFFERINGS. W ARE PAINED to learn that Mr. Godkin is afflicted with dyspepsia. It is caused, we feel Sure, by the wickedness of this period, and particu- larly of this country. Notwithstanding Mr. God- kin’s persistent labor to reform and convert, the country goes right on with its wrong-doing, and is given to such cuttings-up as make the angels and Mr. Godkin weep. He has to blush for the flag and the country all the time, and it is years since he liad a comfortable sleep. It is consoling to know, how- ever, that Mr, Godkin’s dyspepsia is not a cheap, - common sickness. Necessarily it is a very superior « Sarticle of its bad, mean kind, for otherwise he “wouldn't harbor jt for a moment. THE BLACK AMERICAN. REDERICK DOUGLASS will found a large manufacturing enterprise near Newport News, Virginia, and employ in it only negro men and women ; and the Carnegie company of Pennsylvania have imported two. hundred and fifty negroes, and will get a thousand more, and cmploy them in their works in pref erence to foreigners, Thus the negro question has begun to solve itself, mak- ing no mention of the progress of the black man_ in the southern region known as the black belt. We needn't borrow trouble ubout race problems. They settle themselves in unexpected ways in’good time, and we can’t hasten the solution however we may fight and weep and shriek about them. A RADICAL MUGWUMP. HE DEGLARATION, and the reasons accompanying it, that newspaper men’ and former Democratic office-holders would be ignored by this administration shows that Mr. Cleveland is giving a good deal of attention to the effect his nominations are likely to have upon his royal ‘acy for either of these Teasons? If a man was once an honest and efficient office-holder he ought to be as eligible as the good man of opposite politics who continues in office notwithstanding the fact that the people have voted him out of office. Even the civil-service-reform idiocy admits that. Mr. Cleveland apparently thinks that everything that is reasonably expected of him by the newspapers and the men who elected him must necessarily be wrong. There are cranks of that kind. comicbooks.com
