What you’re looking at

The main illustration depicts a working-class scene—likely a saloon or shop—where one man asks another "Say, Chris, what does yer do wid dem big glasses?" The response jokes about not affording liquor after midnight closing, so "de boys buys one oder 'bout dem minutes before de time as 'day lasts all night.'" This appears to satirize late-19th-century liquor laws and working-class drinking culture, using exaggerated dialect ("yer," "dem") typical of Judge's period humor. The cartoon mocks both the artificial constraints of closing hours and men's resourcefulness in circumventing them—a commentary on Prohibition-era tensions between regulations and actual behavior. The surrounding editorial content addresses unrelated political topics (Chinese immigration, election politics), making this a typical Judge issue mixing visual satire with commentary.

HE QUESTION whether the president could return a call made by the princess Eulalia, she being not a sovereign, but merely the daugh- ter of an ex-sovereign, was designed to drive Ward McAllister crazy, but we do not think that is possible. DAVID AND THE METALS. SENATOR HILL, according to several authorities, has already begun the campaign leading up to his nomination in 1896. The senator SATURDAY NIGHT. “Say, Chris, what does yer do wid dem big glasses? “Well, yer know we can't sell after twelve o'clock, so de boys buys one o' dese ‘bout ten minnits afore de time an’ dey lasts all night.” . will go west and make a speech. Doubtless he will offer a plan for the solution of the silver question, and if he gnaws at that tremendous mount- ain with any kind of success the mountain will tumble to him very readily. The question will then be whether he can get at the top of it or it can get at the top of him. ROADS AND CONVICTS. NDER A LAW passed last winter the convicts of Dannemora prison are at work building and improving roads. Work is necessary the convict, and this is work that takes the bread out of no honest man’s mouth. Country roads are lamentably out of condition everywhere, anil apparently the farmer doesn’t care to improve them at his own expensr. There is no easier or more profitable way out of an old problem than the * one adopted at Dannemora. THE FATALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCE, IRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE showed conclusively that Pallister killed Roebl; but better circumstantial evidence shows a little more conclusively that Roehl killed Pallister, and: furthermore that some un- known man killed both. Happily—if there is anything happy in this grim story of crime and retribution—the two men are not alive to be mentally dissected by experts and judged by Recorder Smyth, or they would have to be electrocuted and then resurrected to be killed again. HOW SOON WILL THEY DIE? OHAMMED WEBB says his Moslem World has been started to convert the Christian to heathenism, and begins his salutatory with the words, “In the name of the most-merciful God.” The Zam- many Times, weekly, began its ex- planing and beseeching with the exclamation “Long live Democ- racy.” The Morning Chronicle of Brooklyn, an excellent paper with the most honorable intentions, be- gan its utterances, if we remember rightly, with the somewhat confi- dent remark, “We have come to stay,” and with the exception of a Sunday issue it is dead. Mr. Crok- e's daily, America, is a gossipy and sensible paper that costs the reader three cents and is worth that money; but we fear it has come to go. PROTECT THE AMERI- CAN FAMILY. THE ARE TEN CHINA- MEN in this country to every American in China—the figures are eleven hundred against one hun- dred and ten thousand. In round numbers there are five hundred million Chinamen in China and six- ty-five million Americans in Amer- ica. Now the rights of the eleven hundred Americans in China are not as important as the rights of our sixty-five millions at home; and it is a solemn fact that without restric- tion of Chinese immigration in ten years the Chinese in this country would outnumber us two to one. Our workers need protection against these live, parchment-bound mummies, who have not at home the respect we give our cattle, and whose morals are bad. The American family is entitled to some consideration, and Americanism must be protected against the wholesale invasion they will visit upon us if they can. Dey mus’ hold a OUR POLITICS AND OUR TORIES. HARLES EMORY SMITH of the Philadelphia Press speaks favor- ably of the politics of this country, and says we may safely hope for the best. We may. We are all greatly given to abuse of our neighbors and the ballot-box; but there is a thorough respect one for another, and the rule of the ballot-box is more conclusive and satisfactory and less costly and dangerous than any other. If there is any danger now it comes from the mugwumps, who do not believe in the people or the system, and who would like to break up the great parties without whose existence there would be no system whatever. They also prefer the English method of office-holding, which we abolished as a part of the reformation of a hundred years ago. There must be organizations, and victors must have the honors and the other rewards that belong to vic- tories. So Washington held and so Grant thought. Furthermore, Mr. Cleveland indorses the conclusion so far as he is personally concerned, and the mugwump who has refused office has yet to be discovered, comicbooks.com
