# Judge Magazine Page 217 Analysis This page contains political commentary on late 19th-century American figures and issues: **"Found at Last"** (top): References a discussion about money, quoting a Rochester Union paper. The satire appears to critique political rhetoric about currency. **Named commentaries** reference: - **Mr. Godkin**: Editor of The Nation, rebutting political claims - **Memphis Paper**: Commentary on Cleveland (likely President Grover Cleveland) - **Recorder Smyth**: Judicial decision-maker - **Mr. Gladstone**: Likely British PM William Gladstone - **Cuba reference**: Commentary on American foreign policy toward Spanish colonial control The cartoons mock political hypocrisy and incompetence through visual gags ("Something to Kick About," "The Careless Attitude Developed," "Out on the Rocks"). The overall tone is cynical toward establishment political figures.

His death now would be more unfortunate for Ireland than the assassinations in Phoenix park, and to be safe he must seclude himself from every secret Irish organization, States as Cuba. OUT ON THE ROCKS, Dunkey—*' Now then, Gilhooley, I think I've struck a careless attitude ; let her go.” The careless attitude developed, comicbooks.com
