What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple satirical editorial pieces mocking Democratic politics and politicians of the period. The prominent "Cuckoo" cartoon appears to ridicule political leadership, using the bird as a metaphor for foolishness—with references to Willis, Grover (likely Cleveland), and tariff legislation. Key targets include: - **Democratic incompetence**: Articles mock Democratic senators and congressmen for ignorance and cowardice - **Tariff policy**: Multiple references suggest debate over protective tariffs divides Democrats - **Anti-Semitic content**: The header "Purse and Power of the Jew" promotes harmful stereotypes about Jewish financial control The satire assumes readers share Republican perspectives on Democratic failures. Without visible publication date details, the specific election cycle remains unclear, but the content reflects 19th-century American political partisanship and period prejudices.

THE DAY that is celebrated by those persons who do not read the JUDGE is thought to be the first of April.

HE HEBREW holds his own, The Rothschilds are largely the bank of Europe, and a son-in-law of one of them is the head of the English government. Disraeli is dead; but Rosebery is a Primrose and has the affection as well as the confidence of the queen, who dislikes Commoner Gladstone as she did Commoner John Bright, REFORM THE MAN. E ARE GOING to have pure elections. The law, the people, and the penitentiary have said it. The simple old ballot is good enough. There is no ingenuity that can prevent fraud unless the voter is reformed through fear or conviction, Go back to the simplicity of voting, but watch your man and snatch him if he cheats the ballot-box, Herein lies all the election law and gospel. SE ZRAL PAPERS of Democratic proclivities, notably the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Yonkers Gazette, have recently had earnest and able double-leaded articles going to show that Mr. Cleveland is a great and good man, It does one good to see the Democratic soldier fighting for his own property in time of danger, his usual habit in cases of emer- gency being to turn around and shriek for the aid and courage of some- body else.

THE SALVATION ARMY will try to colonize five thousand persons in Mexico. They might rather do it in New Mexico, where the Mormons threaten to locate; so that on some not distant day that territory might become the scene of a genuine war for religious decency—for polyg- amy as a faith will never surrender except to superior force. We do not speak of it as a mere surreptitious practice in the cast, for no community can protect itself against that ** Cuckoo ! Oh, note of fear, * Cuckoo! Oh, note of fear, CAESAR OR NOT CAESAR? NOT LONG SINCE the president was rebuked for assuming to be the senate and the house as well as the executive, and some of his sever- est critics were mien like Mr. Watterson. Now the Kentuckian rises in extrefhe wrath to say that the president is responsible for Democratic failure in congress, and commands him to use force of any kind at his imperial hands to bring about-tariff action and consequent reform. "Pears like there ain’t nothin’ the ornery man kin do to suit them fellers. BEWARE OF SUCH THINGS. T WAS THE FIRST OF APRIL, and Grover went jauntily along, swinging an imaginary cane and lifting his face to the warm air and the blue skies. There was a battered hat on the walk. He stopped, looked around, saw no one, and gave it a vigorous kick. Then he dropped his imaginary cane, shrieked involuntarily, picked up an injured foot and caressed it tenderly, dropped it to rub a grieved, surprised and disap- pointed leg, and said “Whew!” It had been nailed down and there was a mugwump under it. THE PARTY OF THE COWARDS. RICE, HILL AND GORMAN are protection Democrats—a paradox that kicks out its own brains, Many senators are free-traders out and out, or would be if they could get up the courage necessary to ruin the country. More Democratic senators are ignorant of the nature of their so-called convictions, and are positive in nothing but wobbling. Ah, what Democratic backing and filling and pulling and kicking this tariff business has brought about, notwithstanding the positiveness of the tariff portion of the Democratic platform. The jackass fitly represents the “Democratic party, except that the animal doesn’t always back itself over a precipice when it sees the shadows of its own ears. comicbooks.com
