What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary rather than a single coherent cartoon. The main illustration shows a figure in tattered clothing confronting what appears to be a well-dressed man—likely satirizing economic inequality or labor disputes of the era. The text sections address contemporary issues: President Sheahan's advocacy for "purity and retrenchment" in state government; Mary Lease and women's political involvement; manufacturing dynamite as state power (likely referencing labor unrest and anarchist fears); the Croker case (an innocent man wrongly accused); and various political/social observations. The page reflects turn-of-20th-century American concerns: immigration, labor conflicts, women's political roles, and political corruption—presented through Judge's typical satirical lens targeting both progressive reforms and conservative resistance.

AN EXCHANGE says Pennoyer of Oregon knows what he is HIS SWEET CONVERSION. HE TALK in the state senate by President Sheehan of the necessity of purity, retrenchment and reform was so pathetic that some of the members of that body wept profusely. We have long suspected that Mr. Sheehan had in him the germs of a pretty piety, and the ballots of last November have almost persuaded him to be a Christian. HER LARGE HEAD. MARY LEASE ‘of the’Karisas board of charities thought she was the governor ag well as thé éntiré board; and her shrieks since her removal show that she thinks she is the whole state of Kansas, It doesn’t do to place authority in such hands. Given a jews-harp and a woman of that kind would go mad because she couldn’t be a circus with a brass band, POWER OF THE STATE. A NEW IDEA is that the state shall have the sole power to manufacture dynamite. This would be effective if the state might also have the sole power to explode it. But the state has quite enough to do if it takes care of its legitimate business. If it manufacture dynamite, why shall it not have authority over the rude club, the unhappy gun, and the various poisons ? WHERE DID IT COME FROM? LET US NOT FORGET that Mr. Croker is an innocent, unsuspicious man. Possibly that wealth was dropped in his pocket by somebody who had stolen it and feared the police. Again, in one of the cyclones out west a large amount of money was picked up by the wind from a de- stroyed chimney and carried off, and it is known that Mr. Croker had his hat uplifted, bottom down, at that very time. \ TWO LIVES. PRENDERGAST exhibited great interest in the trial which re- sulted in his conviction for murder, frequently remarking, “‘I object, for my life is at stake.” For the life of Carter Harrison he had no respect whatever; so that it makes a real difference whose life is under con- sideration by men of his kind. And that means sanity, or enough of it to warrant the hanging which has been earned. OUR LEADING RE- FORMERS. BROTHER FLOWER prays for harmiony between himéelf and the legislature. So pray Brothers Platt and Croker, each to and of the other; and if they do not exchange about, Quite impossible, don't y’ good resolutions and things the know.

How we miss that fine old article telling somebody else to be good to the poor. SO FAR as we can make out Frederick May got out of the clutches of the law for fighting here because he did some fighting in South America, see ARE PAINED to find in the Buffalo Express some shocking irreverence to the effect that New England men are no better than some other men, COLONEL HIGGINSON says that no student would willingly be seen staggering across Harvard square, because it wouldn't be good form. Precisely. a (eis THE NEW PRESIDENT of Switzerland once earned a living in Ohio by chopping wood. How forcibly we are reminded at times of the careers of Washington and Lincoln, WHEN MR.

I'll see to it myself.” OST OF THE PERSONS out of employment are foreign-born. The suggestion that immigration be checked is always in order; but a man in want has no nationality until he is fed and clothed. tribute to their reformative happi- ness. Ah, what an era of peace ana reform it is, and what richness prom- ises to come from it! OUR LESSER GLORY. HERE ARE EVIDENCES, according to Ward McAllister, that New York will some day have as brilliant society as Paris or London. At first glance that seems encouraging; but, really, our society has as many scandals as it can make room for, and an addition to that kind of brilliance might upset it beyond the power of reconstruction. Oh, let us not get on so fast, Wardy, that we can’t pause and reflect. THE LABOR QUESTION. WORKMAN complains in the newspapers that the work given women drives men out of employment and starves their families, That is both true and lamentable; but we can’t see that matters will be improved by driving the women out of employment and starving them, ‘The remedy is more work for all, and there ought to be a sufficiency of practical business sense and good-enough law-making to provide it and the money to pay for it. A SURPRISING DISCOVERY. SOROSIS recently discussed at length the bringing up of children, and one lady told of the patience and suffering of a father walking the room alll night with a crying child in his arms, This testimony was totally unexpected, and, considering its source, is gratifying indeed. Nobody in Sorosis ever heard of a father before, and the surprise was naturally great, The subject mainly at issue was the ideal child, and it was resolved that there wasn’t any; but the ideal father was found, and got the love and gratitude due him for once. comicbooks.com
