The central cartoon depicts a domestic scene where a mother instructs her young child on proper behavior. The accompanying text (from the *Pictorials*) reads: "Bring th' baby! It's windy quick, Patsy, or he'll strain watch his father an' brother Moike killin' a cop in th' street." This is satirizing Irish-American immigrants, stereotyped as lawless and violent. The joke cruelly suggests that Irish families normalize criminal violence—here, murder of police officers—as everyday instruction for children. It reflects widespread anti-Irish prejudice common in late 19th-century America, portraying Irish immigrants as inherently criminal and unfit for civilized society. The thick dialect reinforces ethnic caricature stereotypes prevalent in Judge's editorial stance.

A CURIOUS PENSION CASE. MBS: JEFFERSON DAV having come north to live, the ex-confed- erate states which gave her a pension have withdrawn that gener- osity. It is well to have a pension, but one that takes away the liberty of the person so honored is not worth its cost. And surely this action of the southern brethren is not patriotic or chivalric, and there ought to be a better explanation of it. OUR STARTLING PROGRESS. ASSURE AS FATE when women vote women will hold office. Already Elizabeth Cady Stanton is called empress, and S, B. Anthony has bared her head for crown number two, Out west they have women m: ors as well as women jurors, and the experiment pleases those who are most interested in it, Perhaps there had better be cooking-schools for men, and a general education of the sex as to matters of the household. ALL IS VANITY. I" IS NOTED as a curious fact that the women who want the suffrage and consequent independence of man are strenuous in the use of the titles belonging to their husbands. There are Mrs. Judge Smith and Mrs. General Brown; and probably there are women who would prefer a cheap man with a good title to a good man with no title. But we needn't press this matter. There is no man living who doesn’t have his litle vanities too. STRIKE FOR YOUR FISH- ING AND YOUR’ FIRES. 'F = RIGHTS of this country are seriously invaded when private parties cannot fish neat Canadian waters without danger of arrest. A bounteous providence has drawn no boundary lines of that kind, and the right to fish is as inviolable as the right to breathe. The customs business is nuisance enough in our relations with the Botany bay called Canada; and if there arises the question where and when and how the men of the states may fish there must be annexation or war, HEAP WISE INJUN. MB: CROKER let loose of 1 many with some rapidity. His fingers had been fastened to her so long that they knew not what else to cling to, but the impending danger made the parting unavoidable. He will spend the rest of his days clipping his coupons and conversing with his soul. Half the sachems and warriors of that tribe are political Samsons, and Mr. Croker decides that they ma pull down the wigwam about their own ears—never about his and his precious boodle. me _THE DAY WE DECORATE. THE REGRET that is properly a part of Decoration day is not alto- gether perfunctory. Courage and sacrifice great enough to have made their way into history have not perished from the earth, though the graves that followed them are level with or little hollows in the ground. It is proper enough, while remembering the heroes of those far-off days, to have a reasonable amount of recreation, and indeed a good deal of for it was their suffering and sacrifice that made possible all the prosperity and enjoyment that have been with us since they died. IMPORTED CATTLE AND CRIME, HERE HAVE BEEN more than two hundred murders in the Wyo- ming coal-fields of Pennsylvania within a year and thirty-five within three months, and property to the extent of two million dollars has been wantonly destroyed. Let us consider this when we condemn the south for its various bi ities, and likewise the fact that the south has no Coxeys. Still, the native American needn't blame himself for it, the crimes having been the work of Hungarians and Slavonians, Let us likewise consider whether there ought not to be criminate immigration. much greater check on indis- comicbooks.com
