What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine page contains multiple short satirical pieces targeting the McKinley administration and Republican politics. The main cartoon depicts a woman (likely representing the public or a political widow) tending to an injured man in bed, satirizing Republican leadership and their policies. Key targets include: - **State Rights**: Criticism of federal election authority - **Hawaiian Policy**: Mocking Republican endorsement of annexation - **Mugwump Peckham**: Attacking a political appointee as a factious partisan - **Platt's Progress**: Ridiculing Republican reorganization efforts under Thomas Platt The satirical quips mock McKinley's administration's first year as incompetent and divisive. References to "cuckoos," Bill Wilson, and various political figures suggest internal Republican fracturing. The overall tone criticizes Republican governance as ineffective and self-serving.

Mrs Conen: A STEREOTYPED REPLY. * You vill catch cold sleebing dere, Isaac, mit such STATE RIGHTS. HE REPEAL of the federal-elections law is a triumph for state authority, and means a resumption of the effort of every congres- sional district to swing the general government by the tail. Probably it is safe enough, but it may be hoped that Uncle Sam will retain some rights which the ex-confederacy is bound to respect. THE OUTLOOK. THE FIRST YEAR of a new administration is generally bad. The first year just closed is ruinous. Three more years will not suffice for a recovery; and meanwhile the Republican party of this nation is united on every leading issue, while the opposition is broken up and the mugwumps are carrying off the official honors and emoluments. A NEW PERIL. A MINISTER at Ballston paused in his sermon to rebuke the soprano of the choir. The lady answered him with much spirit, and now the question is whether the lady or the minister shall resign. We have long thought that these old differences between the sermon and the music would lead to open warfare, and it may be feared that we are on the verge of a struggle which will shake the church to its foundation. s BARELY SAVED. TBE. CUCKOOS of the house barely succeeded in indorsing the presi- dent's Hawaiian policy, It was a victory because it was an escape from the condemnation which would have been inevitable with personal considerations thrown aside. Nobody questions the honesty of the presi- dent; but the restoration contem- plated was a quixotic absurdity in the name of justice which would have driven the goddess of that principle stark mad, 8 COME, WILLIAM! THE KAISER is half inclined to visit_us, and it is pretty certain that his government would not pro- voke war during his absence. His presence among us would therefore be an augury of peace provided the other foreign governments behaved themselves. There would be no fight- ing except that of the millions of good republicans who would struggle to get near enough to his majesty to kiss his garments. And much good it might 7 do him to see and reflect upon our regular army. eee a draught in der room. . MUGWUMP PECKHAM. Mr. Conn (toaking suddenly)—"* Send dot draft pack! Id ain’d MBE. MCKANE frequently forgets gorrect! T von't ageept it! Der goots vos no goot anyvay.” PECKHAM has not the judicial his own name, and on the whole mind, would like an injunction against the necessity of recalling it. BROTHER TALMAGE will make a fortune by lecturing during his tour around the world, It is a fine way to go on with the “ playing out,” It IS RIGHT enough for Corbett and Mitchell to fight in behalf of charity, but if anybody does murder for charity we shall know where to draw the line. THE PERIOD of self-denial began with the new administration, and the question is not how best to put on sackcloth, but how under heaven to get it off. A MAN recently hanged in Chicago said frankly that ne didn’t want to die. s this was the first case of its kind, the man was undoubt- edly suffering from hallelucination, HAS IT OCCURRED to the author of the lie that ex-President Har- rison would marry the widow Stanford that he ought to be kicked? If not he is the only person of his kind in the United States. THE WORLD is divided into two classes. Half of us expect the judgment in ten minutes, and the other half have faith in the completion of the “new” capitol at Albany before the day of resurrec- tion, . of politics and business ; He is not a partisan, but a factionist.. He has strong likes and dislikes, and he gives expression to them in language with numerous adjectives and exclamation-points. He is the open enemy of Hill and of a large majority of the Democrats of this state. His selection was intended as a rebuke of Hill, and personal considerations ought to have as little effect on Cleveland as on Hill. Would you have voted for him if you had been in Hill's place? Not once. PLATT’S PROGRESS. [t DOES ONE'S SOUL good to see how eagerly Brother Platt puts himself at the head of the great work of Republican reorganization and reform, There was a remote suspicion that the work was intended to do away with his leadership and his system, but if that has occurred to him he has never mentioned it. He is as ardent as was the defaulter who was threatened with tar and feathers. “Good idea,” said that man cheerily. “Just the thing. You get the tar and I dare say we can rip up some pillows at our house and get the necessary feathers.”” CAUSE AND EFFECT. HE CROKERS have been having fine times in Washington, Richard having been received by the president and Mrs, Croker by Mrs. Cleveland. The amenities of social life soothe and soften the asperities ind yet they somehow subject Messrs. Hill and Murphy to pains and qualms that yield to no ordinary balm or plaster. “It looks to me,” says David to Edward, “‘as if this imperial ugliness not only selected our enemies for office, but seeks to make enemies of our stanchest friends that they may have office too.” Whereupon says Ed- ward to David, “ You hit it on the nail. I'll bet five dollars of it.” comicbooks.com
