What you’re looking at
This page combines editorial commentary with brief satirical notes. The main cartoon depicts a figure labeled "THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATS" - showing what appears to be a bloated or corrupt official, suggesting Judge blamed Democrats for enabling governmental excess or misconduct. The editorial snippets mock various political figures and situations: McKinley's presidential prospects, the Khedive's tyranny, Franco-German tensions, tariff debates, and disarmament discussions. One note sarcastically comments on Southern lynchings, another on Washington's domestic arrangements. The cartoons and text express Judge's conservative Republican perspective, criticizing Democratic governance, international threats (Kaiser, France), and progressive social movements. The overall tone is sharply partisan commentary typical of early 20th-century American political satire magazines.

POEM—William Brown is turned down, PLACARD for the nursery— is barred.” eee THE BIGGEST BET on a recent international event was Mr. Corbett. R. CROKER is liable to be the Brutus to one of several kinds of Carsar. NY DAY that may be set for Gladstone's retire- ment will be a century too soon. PEAKING OF THE TARIFF, just as the Quigg is bent the tree 's inclined ‘he anchor nurse BEG to congratulate Lemuel E. Quigg on the exuberance of his honorable name. HE TAKING OFF of George W. Childs was about the meanest thing death ever did. som E NOMINATIONS sent to the senate lack confirmation as if they were doubtful news. HE CZAR doesn’t include dynamite among his several diseases, but he’s liable to get it any time. THAT IRISH KING, W. F. Sheehan, has reluc- tantly given up the idea that he is the govern- ment of this state. NAT THE KAISER and Bismarck said to each other just before they embraced — play fair; no biting.” THE QUESTION of disarmament is ereating so much agitation in Europe that a great war may grow out of it any day. sw ; ET IS REVENGE. The nomination of William Hornblower as the husband of his sister-in-law was promptly confirmed. RESIDENT WASHINGTON regulated his domestic arrangements by and with the advice and consent of the ex-widow Custis. ARTHA WASHINGTON died too soon. She never had the satis- faction of making an ornament and a pet of a squirming lizard. T 1S POSSIBLE. that George Washington never did anything wrong ; and the fact that he was never caught at it shows, besides, that he was a wise man, 5 CCVILIZATION was handsomely vindicated by the prompt execution of Vaillant. If his crime had been done here he would now be making preparations for an unlaborious old age at the expense of the government he had hoped to destroy. THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATS. “Who says peesness is dull? Peesness vas nefer petter,”” THAT MAN OF OHIO. TWO ELECTIONS in as many congressional districts of this city point to the conclusion that William McKinley will be the next president: of the United States. The McKinley gains in one district are about ten thousand and in the other one seven thousand. A REASON FOR IT. POSSIBLY THE KAISER makes his peace with Bismarck by way of getting the old man’s support in case of a contemplated war. Other- wise he might find his main enemy to be his own people, and in case of failure his throne would be so hot that he couldn't sit on it. A USE FOR THEM. ‘THE NUMBER of women who are killed by.their lovers for refusing to marry is growing so large that some general action is necessary to the safety of their surviving sisters. Chaperons might mean safety; but every person of that kind should know how to shoot, and how to get the drop on the murderous suitor. TWO CUBS. KHEDIVE has less liberty than any of his subjects, and if he should exercise himself in an authoritative way he could break his neck more easily than any other man. Mr. Shakespeare might better have inquired what was in a title, and the khedive and little Aleck of Servia might respond, “A vacuum with a sound in it.” THE FRANCE, HEN FRENCH DEPUTIES cry out in busi- ness hours that they want the commune, and shake their fists and call each other liars, there is real danger; but the government that safely waded through the filth of the Panama scandal is not likely to die at its own hands, and there are no represent- atives: of French monarchists who haven't been pretty neatly forgotten. WHEN REFORM WILL COME, ‘THE BETTER SENSE of the south, it is fre- quently remarked, condemns the burning and shooting of innocent bl-ck men. Probably it would if there were anything of that kind; but unhappily, if it exists, it is rarely heard from until the crime is committed. It will assert itself in due time, how- ever—when the blacks are all dead or when it is established that the prosperity of the south is de- stroyed by such beastly exhibitions, SEEING TOO MUCH LIFE. THE YOUNG MEN who assist Brother Park- hurst in his investigations are in more or less danger, and probably some of them have been con- verted from the excellence of their ways by the in- fluence of their surroundings. It is suggested that older men do the investigating; but even then it will be a question whether the pipe shall color the men or the men shall color the pipe. The expéri- ment might be tried, however, by some man about two hundred years old. LET US HAVE PEACE. THOSE BRAZILIANS can shoot at each other as much as they please, but there must be no stray shots at outsiders. The tendency of this conclusion is toward the proposition that no warfare must be permitted to the injury or inconvenience of innocent parties; and as there is no warfare that does not commercially or otherwise damage some outsiders therefore there must be no war. That is statesmanship and gospel, and the peace societies are making progress year by year. JUSTICE AND MR. TALMAGE. HE RESIGNATION of Mr, Talmage revives the articles to the effect that the Brooklyn preacher is “played out.” They began to be printed twenty years ago, and since then Talmage has talked to and writ- ten for more people than any other man in the world. ‘The quality of the good brother's discourses is matter for discussion, but his cheque-book is a very fair answer to the charge that he is a humbug; and certainly he is not given to the very obvious malice that dictates some of these abusive articles. , comicbooks.com
