What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary and brief satirical items rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration shows two men on a street—one appears to be a well-dressed gentleman and the other a working-class figure, labeled "A DISAGREEABLE CONTRIBUTION." The accompanying text suggests social commentary about class interactions. The text items mock various contemporary figures and situations: Cleveland's speaking voice, Chicago versus New York comparisons, corset fashion, and women's temperance advocacy. One piece criticizes the "Infantas Eulalia" (Spanish royalty) for traveling without proper aristocratic accompaniment. The overall tone satirizes American social pretensions, gender politics, and class dynamics of the Gilded Age era. Without clear date markers visible, the specific political references remain partially unclear.

Yes, indeed; and peradventure with a woman who doesn’t. HE OATHS of Warden Brown were numerous but not zsthetic; and as to his inebriety it was so coarse as to disgust his subordinates and his fellow-conviets. MR PLATT apparently has as little respect for John Sherman as John Sherman has for him; and certainly Mr. Platt couldn't go further than that by any process of locomotion now known.

MAN—" Dot fool olt lady yoost tropped an oranche down meif tuba unt I gan’t ged him oud.” somest and wittiest issues of this very popular monthly, and its illustra- tions are funny enough to make a pneumatic tire burst with laughter. IT HURTS HIS MODESTY. WHEN A MAN has been called “a hustler" he feels that there is * nothing left to live for in this world, or any other world. It is the acme and ecstasy of compliment, no matter if the term is applied to every lop-eared, ugly-mugged loafer of rapidity in every town. What the man wants is just to lie down and die, trusting, of course, that the word will be a part of his epitaph. WHEN THEY SKIPPED THE GROWLER. AGES HENCE the world will be inquiring with eager anxiety what Mr. Schurz would have said if he had made that speech. The question regarding Junius, the matter of the missing link, the accuracy of the theory of the late Mr. Symmes, the mystery of the lady and the tiger, will be as nothing compared with the solution of that great problem. And it is fortunate for the immortality of Mr. Schurz that it is so, for if he had said it it must inevitably have fallen as flat as a pint of dish-water in the middle of the desert of Sahara. THE ROAD TO SOCIAL GLORY. THE .SOCIETY PAPERS of London persist in mentioning William Waldorf Astor as a man in trade—a millionaire, but a low-down, common chap who pays his debts, deals in real estate, collects rents, and amuses himself by publishing a magazine. As Mr. Astor ruminates in his recently- purchased castle these things doubtless worry him to some extent; but there will be surcease of his sorrow as soon as he begins to lend money without security to blooded pov- erty and the finer article of inherited impecuniosity. But really he must go on the turf and dishonor a few blooded women, SEX AND PSYCHOLOGY. THE WORSHIP of a noted pianist by young and old women created an exhibition in this city that one reads of with astonishment. The women languished for him, made eyes at him, tried to force their way into his dress- ing-room, glared jealously at one an- other, and would have crushed him had he not got away from their em- braces. Was it music or the man that brought about this exhibition? Was it a combination of the two? Was it his hair? And if they had got possession of him would they have killed him with the fierce passion of their love and jeal- ousy, like so many untamed tigresses ? THE AWFUL PROPRIETIES. HE INFANTA EULALIA will not travel with the duke of Ve- ragua because the etiquette of her country will not permit it; and when a ion was made to Governor Flower to take him to the duke he “Iam the governor of New York, and the duke must come to me.” All this was proper enough, and there is as much red tape in our society as in that of Europe. Asa sentiment the proposition that all: men are created equal is well enough, but as a fact it has its weakness. Americans make their equality after birth or they don’t have it, and on the other hand birth makes equality in Europe if the person doesn't deserve it. Most Americans are severe with the princess because of her assumed superiority to the duke, but after all is there any American who doesn’t applaud Governor Flower for his? SOME INTEMPERATE TEMPERANCE. LADY BIDDULPH and some other Indies of the British women's temperance association are in earnest and wordy opposition to Lady Somerset and Frances Willard as to whether politics shall be permitted in the organization mentioned, and the latter have won a temporary victory. The persistent, voiceful, and uncontrollable differences of organizations of and for women are deplorable. There are nine different societies with the plain and simple design of accomplishing woman suffrage, and each is as bitter as wormwood against all the others. Surely there ought to be harmony as to the temperance business; and if the leaders of the several organizations of that kind will get together, with a few cigarettes, a little wine and a disposition to conciliate, we feel sure that they will presently act on a common platform and that not a life nor a reputation will be lost. comicbooks.com
