What you’re looking at

The main cartoon depicts what appears to be a street scene with figures in period dress, labeled "A VALUABLE UNDERSTURY" with dialogue between "Tommy" and others discussing a bride and wedding arrangements. The surrounding text contains brief satirical commentary on contemporary social and political issues, including references to: - Financial matters and banking - Presidential succession (mentions of Jefferson Davis) - Marriage and social customs - Military and political figures However, **without clearer identification of the specific historical moment, persons named, or visible dates on this page, I cannot confidently identify which political figures are caricatured or what precise events are being satirized.** The cartoon's subject and the commentary's targets remain ambiguous from this image alone. More context about Judge's publication date would be necessary for accurate interpretation.

THE LAND the law loves is by no means Injustice Sutherland. eee PERHAPS Mr. Croker got his money as an heir of the late Anneke Jans. eee THE HISSING at da Gama ought to come more especially from the Portuguese. NO. THE SENATE does not sleep. That is evident from its casual transactions in the sugar business. THIS LAND is an asylum for the oppressed of all nations. Canada is an asylum for the law-breakers of this land. THE CASE of Breckinridge provokes inquiry as to the chivalry of the Kentucky gentleman, and it is a very painful subject. eee R. PEIXOTO will kindly accepe our congratulations on the dex- terity with which his war-ships shot at nothing and hit it. R. GEBHARD says he did not give his bride a silver bath-tub; so we must compliment some silly liar on the fertility of his falsifying. A VALUABLE Tommy (the hero)—"* Say, Jack, yer has got ter take me part inde killed or mutilated himself. Perhaps GUERILLA MOSBY says he is a” nex’ act where I sez ‘Sweet Bessie, I've cum ter claim yer fer me candidate for president, mean- bride. ing, we suppose, that he would like to be the successor of Jefferson Davis. WE TRUST that Miss Storer, who was recently married to ex-Financier F. Ward, will prove to be the sweet restorer the young man needs, MBS: LEASE, who claims to be a free-mason, perhaps doesn't recall the fate of William Morgan. Will she wear a gag, or will she sud- denly disappear? THE CHURCH is not responsible for the Breckinridges and the McKanes. It may even be said that it stands like a rock against their support and sympathy. . SENATOR BLACKBURN promptly denies the report that he has been converted by Brother Moody; but we suppose the light still holds out to Blackburn, as to the other sinners. A LADY of Syria tells American women how they may be happy. Ik is easy enough—they have merely to stop going to and giving recep- tions. And really they can get all the fashions and do half the mean criticism and the lying about each other which is necessary to their’ exist- ence if they don’t go to a reception once a year, Jack (the stage-manager)—"* What fer?" it, bu Yosnry—"* ‘Cos der hertowin’s best feller is in de front seat, an’ yer creasing in number and recklessness is de on'y wun jn de show wot kin lick ‘im.” A FEW AMENITIES. AN ACTRESS pointed out, in her audience, a masher who had sent her a bouquet with his card attached. One of two conclusions is inevi- table—he should have added a few diamonds or given a fictitious name. Of course it is not impossible that the lady was honestly indignant; but in that case why didn’t the manager take the masher by the ear and pull it over his face to hide his shame? THE MATRIMONIAL INJUNCTION. YOUNG LADY of Cleveland asks a Kansas court for an injunction against the marriage to another woman of a Kansas man to whom she is herself engaged. Injunctions of this nature have not heretofore been invited, but there is a prevalent opinion that they ought to be. Cer- tainly they would prevent a great deal of injustice, and we believe Colonel Breckinridge is now prepared to say so himself. COLORADO GORE, HE EXPRESSION “blood to the bridle” is to be accepted hereafter only as a bit of passionate metaphor. While it is true that Mrs. Waite would like to see every soldier weltering in his own blood, and a little spattering from a few fellow-sufferers, she hasn't the requisite muscle to do the slaughtering herself; and the governor, having had his own life in danger, has had all the blood he wants. Therefore there is peace, though the language has suffered excruciating agony. GAMBLING FOR THE POOR. WE FEEL that the prince of Wales has been vindicated. He won two hundred thousand francs at Mon- aco and gave the money to the poor. This was noble, and the more so be- cause it is obvious that he didn’t carry his own counters and therefore he play- ed a fair game. Still, the bank may have been generous after the manner of Mr. Philip Daley, who always has his several banks broken just pr to the opening of the heated term. ‘punt tAin 3 jot THE COURAGE OF THE BRUTES. PAUWELS. the Parisian anarchist who was hoist by his own petard, was really a benefactor. He didn’t mean to be, but he was. In blowing himself to pieces he put out of the world the meanest of his kind, to whom neither life nor religion was sa- cred. But here comes in the question of courage, and the reader will recall the fact that in nearly every case of UNDERSTUDY, bomb-throwing the life-seeker has Providence has had something to do with it, but the bomb-throwers are in- every day. THE CORSET AND THE SOUL. MBs: HULZINGA of Kingston, New York, says the corset is worse than rum, and furthermore that it dwarfs the soul. If the thing can be laced as tight as that it must be'a paralyzer; but if Mrs. Hulzinga is as familiar with the solacer as with the lacer she is not competent as a witness, and if she isn’t she doesn’t know what she is talking about. There is too much sweeping assertion of this kind; and we are forced to remark of Mrs. Hulzinga, as was sung of a southern lady now dead, “ Her corset is so very tight She cannot shut her mouth.” BLESS YOU, MY CHILDREN. THE QUEEN will experience a satisfaction from the marriage of her anddaughters that she never got from the selections made by her own girls, Lorne is a failure, and Henry of Battenberg is scarcely more desirable. The first marriage in the Wales family was quite happy, and as to the contemplated one of Rosebery and Maud there is nothing more to be desired on cither side. And Rosebery will have a fair chance. It may be said with the utmost assurance that he will never be snubbed by the queen, the prince of Wales, or his wife, and it won't be necessary for him to put a prop under his chin to keep his head up. comicbooks.com
