What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* contains brief satirical quips targeting American political figures of the 1890s. Key targets include: **"THEIR MAJESTIES"**: Mocks King Humbert of Italy and the German Kaiser's embrace, suggesting their careful politeness masks underlying tensions—a jab at diplomatic posturing. **"DAVID'S MOTIVES"**: Attacks David B. Hill, a Democratic senator, claiming he'll only support tariff legislation if he controls it and receives credit. The satire suggests his opposition to McKinley's tariff is purely self-serving, though admittedly beneficial to the country "in spite of himself." **Other snippets** mock Tillman (enforced silence), Senator Hill's ambitions, and various political figures. References to "the McKinley law" indicate this is from the 1890s, during debates over protective tariffs. The cartoons satirize politicians' vanity, inconsistency, and self-interest—typical *Judge* fare ridiculing both parties through personal attacks rather than substantive policy critique.

HERE IS NO KIND of tariff bill that Hill would indorse unless he were permitted to dictate its main features and get the notoriety aris- ing from that fact. His first idea is to oppose the administration and his next to glorify himself, But he is doing a good work for the country in spite of himself, and if he shall succeed in keeping the McKinley law on the books he will have the gratitude of the country almost as much as if he deserved it THE RAGGED REGIMENTS.

MAY YOUE is not a shrinking sensitive little thing, but she does indignantly deny the story that she is married to Lord Hope. It is to be feared, however, that she can't prove it. Still, if she ever does become duchess of Newcastle she won't suffer much from the snubs that may be inflicted on her, for th nobody can snub better than she. She has learned the art as a part of her profession, though perhaps she is more pleasing in the display of her profuse affections, OUR IRISH KINGS.
