What you’re looking at
This 1894 page combines political commentary with social criticism. The main cartoon depicts violent chaos, likely referencing contemporary labor unrest or political turmoil of the 1890s—a period marked by the Pullman Strike and economic depression. The text sections mock Republican leadership, questioning their party's direction ("Ordinary question in theatrical circles: 'Been married lately?'"). References to William McKinley, Maynard, and office-holding suggest critique of Republican political establishment and perceived corruption. Other items satirize political violence, vaccination controversies, and Cleveland's presidency. The tone suggests Judge was criticizing Republican incompetence while also mocking progressive reform efforts. The cartoons use exaggerated imagery to make political points about governance failures, contemporary social anxieties, and party politics during this economically turbulent era.

In this free country everybody has a right to get small-pox and give it to all his neighbors. CRANK is a continual menace and is of no good to himself or any- body else. Let us have all possible sympathy for him, but let us not forget that the general public has rights as Well as he. A MUGWUMP named Bacon opposed Maynard for the court of ap- peals. “Why,” said he in substance with great earnestness, “he must not have that office. Let him be merely = county judge.” REFORM—REFORM! NOW THAT we have a Republican senate and house _representa- tives again, it may be hoped that there will be an honest investiga- tion of the affairs of the three great insurance companies—the Equitable, the Mutual, and the New York Life.

Indeed, that is an inevitable experience of his profes- sion, though we believe there have been cases of theatrical marriage which lasted a couple of weeks. TWO OF A KIND. PENNOYER of Oregon got out his Thanksgiving proclamation in advance of that of the president, and begged his people to devote the day principally to prayers for the restoration of silver. About the same time he was threatened by a crank, but we imagine the poor fellow was demonstrative merely because he thought he had found his long-lost brother, THE AMUSING EXECUTION. ‘THEY HAVE MORE FUN in the rural districts of Virginia wnen a man is legally hanged than can be got by the ordinary person out of several funerals. Still, the more spontaneous execution, called the lynch- ing, is more popular, particularly if it is attended with a roasting before or after death, One might suppose that these things were detrimental to civilization if they occurred anywhere else; but those rural persons have few enjoyments, and the conferring of violent death is so infrequent that they can have that kind of enjoyment only about once a month, THE WICKEDNESS OF OFFICE-HOLDING. #6 POILS!" exclaims the Brooklyn Eag/e, speaking of the murder of Carter Harrison—" the result of spoils.” Very well. Let us abolish the offices. If Garfield hadn't been presi- dent he wouldn't have been shot—there- fore let. us. abolish the presidency. If there had been no Mary Anderson a phy- sician in one of the hospitals would have been living still—therefore let us destroy the Mary -Andersons. Let us conduct things’ so that the cranks shall have no temptation to shoot. They are to be con- sidered—thers are of no consequence. If there is a boy ten years old who doesn’t know better’than to use such logic as that, let him go to an asylum for idiots. KINDNESS TO A GREAT MAN. oe l F PRESIDENT CLEVELAND can accomplish a reduction of the tariff,” says the London Standara ¢ will stand forth as the greatest administrator of the United States in the present. generation.” The people of this country have been very kind to Mr. Cleveland. A large number of them are without work because of this generosity, and more will. suffer during the coming winter. A tariff against them- selves and in behalf-of England is asking rather too much just at this time, however, no matter how much it would add to the stature of the distinguished gentleman. Then, too, there is congress—that body really has something to do with the matter. OUCH! THOUSANDS OF GIRLS were vaccinated in this city recently, and without an exception they exclaimed “Ouch! Of the thousands of men who were similarly operated on not one used that word. They prob- ably said something, but not that. It is therefore a word for feminine use . only, and the philologist who can explain its development in that way will confer a favor’on the age he lives in. It is a word of accident, having no derivation and guiltless of meaning as well as roots. “It is an orphan, and perhaps that is why women are in sympathy with it. Yet it is so old that we have no doubt Eve uttered it in the poignancy of her grief when she was ordered out of the garden of Eden, A GREAT VICTORY. G00P GOVERNMENT triumphed in the result in this state on the seventh of November. Morality in politics triumphed. Ruffianism from Erie county to Gravesend was rebuked. Protection was so vindi- cated in this:and the other states that there can hardly be a doubt of its resumption in the nation in 1896, It was a great victory. It was another proof of the honesty and firmness and intelligence of the people, who talk little but vote effectively. The system is all right. The Sheehans, the McKanes, the Hills and the Maynards may do their utmost to destroy it—it will live, and they, and all like them, will go down in the ruins its con- tinuance creates, AN ARGUMENT. de sebent’ son ob a comicbooks.com
