What you’re looking at

The main cartoon, titled "TAKEN WITHOUT LEAVE," depicts two well-dressed men in conversation. One asks the other for "a light overcoat" to borrow; the reply is "Yes, I had a talk dis er note. It was de only one on his rack." This appears to be satirizing political corruption or hypocrisy—likely referencing someone borrowing or appropriating something not rightfully theirs, perhaps alluding to misappropriation of public funds or positions. The artwork style and dialogue suggest early 20th-century American politics. The surrounding editorial text addresses various political issues including Democratic and Republican rivalry, tariffs, and governance concerns of the era, but the specific cartoon reference remains somewhat unclear without additional historical context about the referenced figures.

HOME RULE for Hawaii—that is the right kind of Democracy. cee THE PROBLEM with regard to the Sandwich islands is, how under heaven to let go of them. T IS POSSIBLE that Mr. Hill will go into history as the man who soaped the Hornblower. eee MASY DEMOCRATS in congress are for free trade with a protective proviso in behalf of their re-election. Nowapays the advertising act- ress doesn’t lose her diamonds. What she loses is merely a few hus- bands. T TAKES a Democrat seven years to find out what he wants, and usu- ally by that time the necessity for it has disappeared. A LAST ACCOUNTS Mary Lease was on Governor Waite’s horse, and the blood was up to the animal's ears and still climbing. eee Me. SHEEHAN, according to the Buffalo Express, will “stand on his good behavior.” Very well; that man is going to slip up and break his neck, Nopopy KNOWS which is the worst muddle, that of the tariff or that of Hawaii; but the party that has them in charge is a worse one than both together. SasBo— de hat-rack. N EAGLE in Alabama carried off, annexed and devoured a colored infant. We trust there is no precedent here with respect to the Sandwich-islands business. eee WE ARE ASKED what the weather will be on this day a hundred years to come. How absurd! Mr. Platt doesn’t give out his orders as far ahead as that, we hope. paris HAS vaccination matinées, a doctor and a cow being an indis- pensable part of them, This is such real progress that we may pres- ently hope to enjoy our fevers and our funerals. CCLAVE, police commissioner, objects to caricaturing, and says solemnly that the time will come when the liberty of the press must be curbed, Perhaps some day this man will be wise enough to know how: foolish he is. T DOES one good to read in the 1Vordd that civilization has not even neglected the fashionable people in its onward march; but one must remember that an income tax is not civilization, and to lie about that, as Ward McAllister might observe, might be looked upon as a protest against a revival of war-tax barbarism. TAKEN WITHOUT LEAVE. jolly, Sambo! whad did yo" git a light obercoat fo'?" ‘os I had t' taik dis er none. THE SHINGLE REMEDY. A MR. JONES writes to the World that his mother spanked him until he became a good boy, and that, having given his wife the same privilege, he is now a good man. We trust the dear,man hasn't achieved corporeal excellence at the expense of his intellect. OUR ADLAI. E DOUBT if Adlai Stevenson will ever be president; and yet the speech he made at the Jackson dinner wherein he refused to speak was the most eloquent he ever made. It not only brought down the house, but rattled the august assemblage and the entire crockery. A DECOROUS FEAST. T MAY be well to state that Whitelaw Reid’s dinner on the eighth of January was not one of the Jackson kind. The utmost peace and sobriety characterized it, and not a dish or a slate was smashed. And yet we feel authorized to state, both for Mr. Platt and the JUDGE, that White- law will not be the next governor of this state. HONESTY PAYS. 'ONOR TO THAT Republican who refused to contest a Democrat's seat in the assembly on a technicality because the Democrat was the choice of his district and had been fairly elected. The vote against Judge Maynard shows conclusively that the people of this state do not believe in snap games; and so say Democrats and Republicans alike. OR, FEED THEM TO THE Cows. MEN WHO WRITE for counterfeit money become liable, under a re- cent decision of the post-office depart- ment, to both fine and imprisonment. It would be an excellent thing to send several of those fools to prison. Their intention is as criminal as that of the sharks with whom they deal, and their idiocy has been a shield to them long enough. BOOMS. JOSEPH MANLEY is engineering the boom of Thomas B. Reed. That of Benjamin Harrison is in no- body's hands, and perhaps that is the reason the ex-president thinks there isn’t any. There is certainly, however, a boom for William McKinley, and the action or non-action of this congress will assist greatly in its strength and growth. Bet no bets, but keep your eye on William. THE FILIBUSTERS, ITH A MAJORITY of thirty- cight over the whole house of representatives and of eighty-nine over the Republican vote, the Democrats complain that their opponents are fil bustering. We recall the case of the confederate officer who failed with five hundred men to whip two hundred federals. He said they filibus- tered, and were besides the meanest soldiers he ever argued with. WHY DISCRIMINATE? THERE IS TALK of retiring Sheehan and continuing Flower. The Elmira Advertiser inquires what mean thing Sheehan ever did which Flower did not assist him in doing, and there is no response; and the Brooklyn Eagle says it was Flower and Murphy who insisted on running Maynard, against the advice of Hill and Croker. However, it is of small consequence. The people of this state will retire the entire gang and no two bites to that particular cherry. THE AMAZING WAITE. THE GOVERNOR of Colorado called an extra session of his legislature, and that body adjourned without printing his long, wild message or accepting a single one of his suggestions, The conclusion is irresistible that the legislature is in the conspiracy against the governor and the state which begins with the gold-bugs and includes the president and the con- gress; and yet the most the governor wants to do is to have the state make its own money and fix its value by state law. It is a terrible state of things, and we should think the governor would want to secede, taking as much of Colorado with him as doesn’t happen to be tied down, It wuz de only one on comicbooks.com
