What you’re looking at

The main cartoon, titled "Goldberg's Proverb," depicts a skeletal figure (Death) confronting what appears to be a wealthy or well-dressed man, with the caption: "Fader, I'm disgusted. I trick I will no make a assignment. I go avay disgausted. Vy, mein shild, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This appears to be **anti-German satire**, likely from World War I era, using a Yiddish-accented character to mock German persistence or stubbornness. The skeleton representing Death suggests the futility or horror of continued conflict. The surrounding text columns discuss various political topics including military buildup, education, and legal injustice, typical of Judge's satirical commentary on American politics and society. The cartoon's humor relies on ethnic stereotype caricature—common but now-offensive practice of early 20th-century American satire.

GROW has reached his majority, and it is about two hundred thousand. REALLY, the house of representatives is not a bear-garden. The bear is some= times a very decent animal. POET writes that it isn’t always May. If he refers to the distinguished Fred- erick it is he two out of three times. Marky LEASE recently refused the hand of Governor Lewelling. He merely wanted to shake hers, but she shook him, HE LAST EMBRACE of the kaiser and Bismarck was so fervid that the referee was half inclined to call out the break-away. & HOPE the city of Washington may remark of Josiah Quincy with the ut- most truth, “We ne'er shall see his like again.” GOLDBERG Goupnerc, jr. EPwarp M. FIELD, having been de- clared sane, is out on bail, What has become of the old legal supposition as to a fair field and no favors? MB: HEWITT just hits the seigniorage idea in his expression “coining avacuum.” It is the art of pulling fiat money from the illimitable void. GOLDRER It IS THOUGHT by the Wor/d that the senate fails to produce the man for the hour. Well, now, the cuckoos are waiting for the clock to strike the hour. THREE DAYS after the abolishment of fast day by the Massachusetts legislature there was a cyclone in Kansas and an anarchistic riot in the city of Boston, NOW THAT it has become popular to pitch into the president, the JuDGE is glad to say that few have been mean enough to question the purity of his motives and that on the whole he has handled a most unfortunate condition of things as well as any other man in his place could, sae HE GENEROSITY of the more fortunate people of this country warms the heart, but it is good policy too. Without it there would have been general starvation, and that would have meant riot to such an extent that no man’s life or property would have been safe. Charity is not necessarily selfish, but it is as protective as it is good and wholesome. Fader, vill haf to make a assigamend. R.—"* Disgouraged ! at first you don'd sugceed, fail, HOW? NEW YORK," says the Chicago Port, “does not need more people; it needs better people.” It is difficult to see the drift of this. Does the Post think New York needs to be an angel? Or does it propose a new kind of individual, with perhaps a Chicago trade-mark on him? A GREAT, GRAND ARMY. ITHIN A LITTLE TIME, according to Secretary Lamont, this country could put cight and a half millions of men in the field. And that isn’t all. They would learn fast and fight willingly and intelli- gently. The fighting power of all the rest of the world would be no menace. All they have to do is to refrain from fighting each other. THE GREATEST CRIME. GY MEATHY, FOR MCKANE is misplaced. Possibly he is honest in his declaration that he never injured a human being; but he did worse—he did his utmost to break up the best system of government the world knows. There is no worse crime than that. It has taken rivers of blood and centuries of time to achieve the rights of the people, and they are entitled to all the respect they claim. THE SHAMROCK. 'HE TIP O' THE MORNIN’ to the race that, having no nation of its own, does more fighting and legislating for this nation than all its natives put together. St. Patrick was beyond question a gentleman, and he is a bold, bad man who says to the contrary or treads on the coat-tails of his sacred memory. May the harp recover its music, may the green retain its brightness, may the potatoes be plentiful, and may there always be a jig for fun and another jug behind the bar. THE LATER EDUCATION. THE CLASSES of Cornell university doubtiess believe in prize-fighting and would like to welcome Corbett, as Harvard recently did. They also look upon foot-ball as necessary to a practical and classical edu- cation, But the grander educational ideas are, in their minds, the rush which results in broken limbs and an occasional murder, the haze which sends its victim to the lunatic- asylum, the stealing of dinners, and the dis- tribution of chlorine gas with the purpose of asphyxiation. Your uncle Cornell builded more than he suspected. KEPPLER. 'HE DEATH OF JOSEPH KEPPLER is a loss to periodical literature which can- not be too much regretted. He was a strong man in his work and his ideas, and his suc- cess—he left more than half a million dollars —was not only deserved, but is a compliment to public judgment and to the courage which made him the pioneer in a branch of art which is now more popular than any other ° the world knows, He died when he was best prepared to live, and it is the verdict of more than one continent that his summons came far too soon. PROVERB. “m disgouraged. Itink 1 Vhy, mein shild, if fail again." THE LAW’S INJUSTICE. IF THE TECHNICALITY is not the law itself it is greater than the law. Men of whose guilt there is no possible doubt are convicted after long delay, and that is but a brief step in the direction of their pun- ishment. If they ate meat on a Friday that is a technicality going to show that they did no murder, stuffed no ballot-boxes, and robbed no bank. ‘They are protected at the cost of the people, and one robbery means nine trials, Is that justice? Cincinnati and New Orleans have had riots against these preposterous postponements. Are the tax-payers and the direct sufferers from crime to have no protection whatever? MUGWUMP MEANNESS. BRIEFLY. the mugwumps have deserted Mr. Cleveland because he has given them only about two-thirds of the offices which have been filled by him during the past year. They want all the offices, and they want command of the party which elected Mr. Cleveland. If they can’t have the Democratic earth they will do their utmost to destroy the president. We don't believe they are going to frighten him, and it will be singular if he doesn’t turn upon them as they have turned upon him. And surely it will be more respectable in him to fight these chronic growlers and rapacious office-seekers than to fight the party whose votes have twice elected him. comicbooks.com
