What you’re looking at
This page features editorial commentary and satirical sections typical of Judge magazine's format. The main illustration depicts a figure in water, possibly representing a drowning or struggling situation—likely political satire, though the specific reference isn't entirely clear from the image alone. The text sections include "Polite Peculiarities" (commentary on American versus foreign etiquette), "A Voice from the Sepulchre" (discussing African American suffrage progress), and pieces on various social topics including hair fashion and class distinctions. The overall tone reflects early 20th-century American satirical journalism, mixing social commentary with light humor. Without clearer context for the main illustration's subject, the precise political target remains unclear, though the content suggests commentary on contemporary social and political issues of the era.

THE RIGHTS OF MURDERERS. THIS 1S NOT a land for king-killers, any more than for criminals of a lower grade. Whatever injustice the nihilists have to complain 01, their crimes are not the kind of politics we approve of; and again the Russian government has shown its friendship for us every time we have TOO GOOD A CHANCE TO LOSE.

The new treaty with Russia is just, and it abolishes no right of immunity which a king-killer has a right to claim. POLITE PECULIARITIES. HY IS NOT the best American etiquette as good as the dest foreign etiquette? “When the sultan of Jahore comes,” asks the Com- mercial Advertiser, “are we going to treat him according to Jahore eti- quette?” Furthermore there is that highest of precept and etiquette, “When in Rome do as Romans do.” You do not visit your friend to teach him his manners, and he has enough regard for your self-respect not to assume to teach you yours. A VOICE FROM THE SEPULCHRE. [N DECLARING that the experiment of freedom and suffrage for the negro had proved a failure ex-Senator Ingalls has proved himself more of a failure than might have been predicted by his worst opponents. The progress of the black man of this country since his centuries of ignorance and unrewarded work has been remarkable. The white race could not have advanced more rapidly under the same circumstances. If, however, this professional cynic and pessimist is convinced that his is the true view, would he have a resumption of the situation of 1860? MR. BENNETT’S GENEROSITY. HE EDITOR of the /lustrated American is not overwhelmed with the generosity of the owner of the New York /erald as proclaimed by himself in a Herald article announcing a co-operative scheme yet to be consum- mated, and wants to know who of Mr. Bennett's many employés has thus far been benefited beyond the small money he is known to have earned and received. We have all possible faith in Mr. Bennett, and await with confidence the several names that will come in tones of thunder from as many points of the compass in response to this challenge; because other- wise the proclamation of generosity might be looked upon as a Herald fake, and that would never do. THE WEAR AND TEAR OF HAIR. S ‘VERAL PORTRAITS of Mr. How- ells, at as many periods of his life, show, as given in McClure’s Magazine, that the gentleman first parted his hair on the right side, then on the left, then in the middle, and that now he wears the front part of itasa bang. An intense longing is felt by all to know whether he ever parted it behind, and the realism which Mr. Howells teaches argues forbearance for the longing; but we at least know that he never combed his back hair over his ears and never wore it in a Grecian knot. Perhaps we may be satisfied with this information; but it is by no means as complete as that with regard to the hair of another famous literary gentle- man, who all his life wore his hair in only one way, because he never had any hair to we you keep your mouth shut.” don'd know apout dot. BLOOD AND SOCIETY. F ONE might have the privilege of selecting his society from what is called the highest to the lowest he would, if tolerably sensible, consult first his personal comfort and then his pocket-book. Persons who are not sensible confine themselves to the financial part of the problem, and thus a great many are in perpetual agony because misplaced and because the extent of their financial responsibiiity is a matter of doubt. It is undeni- able that money makes grades of society, and it is proper enough. We doubt if the most money as a rule makes the most snobs, the snobs being those who worry because they have not the most money. It is the privi- iege of wealth to be exclusive, and who doesn’t want to be exclusive—this man as regards the best, that man as regards the ordinary, and the other man as regards the lowest? What ¢s society? Really that is a hard question, there! is so very much of it. The chiefs of Tammany and their families are doubtless as good in their way as are the larger millionaires of Dutch extraction in theirs—some of them perhaps better, some worse. And as to blood? Well, there are a hundred millionaires in this country whose predecessors were either hanged or never heard of. comicbooks.com
