# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains political commentary and satire typical of Judge magazine. The central cartoon titled "HIT A MAN YOUR OWN SIZE" depicts two figures in conversation—likely representing political or social figures in conflict, though their specific identities aren't entirely clear from the image alone. The surrounding text includes brief satirical pieces critiquing various topics: Senator Stewart's patriotism, Democratic politics, and a preacher's logic regarding women's costume choices on stage versus streets. "A REAL TRIUMPH" celebrates a "dummy train" that outsmarted robbers, while "THE DANGLING SWORD" references Otto Kempner's attack on an unnamed institution, suggesting internal corruption or tyranny. The overall tone mocks political hypocrisy, social inconsistencies, and contemporary public figures through sharp wit typical of Gilded Age satire.

[8 VIEW of Stewart it is demonstrated speech, and mighty mean free speech DAVID TO GROVER, in response to the Horublower appointment : “e-may have been right to dissemble your love, But why do you kick me down stairs?” T MAY BE doubted if Van Alen is as bow-legged as the HWorld paints bim, though he certainly does have a head of that variety. BISMARCK would like well enough to be friendly to the kaiser, but he does insist upon first taking his majesty on his knee to spank him. F PEFFER’S WHISKERS were to be shorn by some Delilah, he would not lose his strength, but would talk right on through his shaving-cup. MAY DEMOCRATS who propose to throw off the collar of Croker are merely waiting for the requisite permis- sion from that gentleman. HIT A MAN HE CZAR.TO FRAN you, my children, Let us be friends in peace and war. Lend me a few mill- ions and let us proceed to be affectionate and happy. CARTOONS in Chicago papers represent New York as jealous of the great western city. It may be remembered that that was the excuse of the mosquito when he bit the ox. eee ACCORDING to the kaiser, Germany, in fresh armor, watches over the peace of the world, Possibly the armor is too fresh; but we don’t know when we have felt so relieved. see SATAN, according to Colonel Anthony of the Leavenworth 7¥mes, was the first populist. Maybe, maybe; but he was the original monopo- list who tried to get up a corner on heat. GARAH GRANT laments the prevalence of novels founded on the passions; so she writes one on the passions and puts a moral on every page as large and disagreeable as an angry boil. COMPLAINT IS MADE that senators do not give respectful attention to Peffer when he speaks; but we must remember that he gives respectful attention to them only when he doesn’t speak. eee EMPRESS FREDERICK is the owner of a necklace, composed of thirty-two pearls, which is worth two hundred and fifty thousand —"Bless ov yez? three toimes yez own soize?” YOUR OWN SIZE. Mrs. O'HOoLIHAN (as her lord comes in)—"* Yez Oirish idjut! yez hov been discoossing politics wid thot Murphy agin, Will yez niver larn t' kape frum argufying wid a mon dollars. gone. ‘THE PARLIAMENT of religions at Chicago discussed and disagreed in peace and with the utmost courtesy; but the church that is divided against itself has no assurance in behalf of forgiveness and no assurance against destruction. We have been wondering for some time where that bauble had A SENATORIAL VACANCY. DON CAMERON can be relied upon for anything unreasonable or unexpected. He represents nobody but himself, and therefore, not- withstanding his wealth, he has the cheapest constituency in the United States. And a pledge from Don Cameron that he will go in a certain direction is proof positive that he will go the other way. THE COUNTRY “ON HIS HANDS.” ‘THE CHIDING of the president by Senator Stewart for saying that he would have congress “on his hands" is very pathetic. The senator has such a delicate sense of propriety, one wonders that he should oppose the reasonable demands of ninety-nine out of every hundred persons, en- danger every business interest for months, and crack the ceiling of the senate-chamber with his intolerable swash, SOME PERILOUS DEMOCRACY. EN THINGS are settled in Rio the buildings knocked over by civil war will be rebuilt, and by that time a new kind of revolutionist will be in readiness to shoot them down again, This will be good for the poor if any of them happen to have survived the fight- ing and there is currency wherewith to pay them; but it is dreadful to have to live in a republic that is so excessively democratic as that. BAD LOGIC, HE REV. MR. EATON of Louisville recently preached against a picture of Marie Jansen in tights, saying that if it was proper for a woman to wear such a dress on the stage it was proper for her to appear in similar costume in the parlor and on the street. Well, now, according to that logic a costume appropriate any- where is appropriate everywhere, and a clown has as good a right to wear his cap at a funeral as on the sawdust. A REAL TRIUMPH. THE DUMMY TRAIN that surprised a gang of robbers, killing two and taking the rest prisoners, is a triumph of civilization over a revived article of bar- barism, and we imagine the story of its success was read everywhere with a sur- prise and delight akin to that of the small boy with his first dime novel. There are a dozen methods to prevent this kind of crime, and it is amazing that some of them have not been tried before. Let it be shown still fur- ther that honest men are, after all, half as smart as scoundrels. THE DANGLING SWORD. OTTO KEMPNER, formerly of Tammany ball, attacks that institution and predicts its fall after the manner of the house of Tweed. The signs do certainly point in that direction—the love of display, the indul- gence in fast horses, and the yearning for society; and this time the destructive attack will come from within, The tyranny of the bosses will presently work the redemption of this city and of the country; and Re- publicans will hasten that great reform by voting as numerously and as often as they can. WHY WHINE? THE ASSUMPTION of the editors of Chicago that New York and its newspapers have opposed the fair in their town is childish enough. and leads to the suspicion that they want to be noticed. No people in the world are more enterprising than those of Chicago, and the fair is the greatest show ever given; but the Chicago disposition to whine, and to brag after the manner of an escaped martyr, is unfortunate. Let this western tenderness look over the files of the JUDGE for the last six months and see if it can't prevail upon itself to be good-natured. comicbooks.com
