What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical commentary rather than a single unified cartoon. The main illustration shows a man in a bowler hat presenting documents to a seated clerk—likely depicting a bureaucratic or legal transaction, though the specific context isn't entirely clear from the image alone. The text columns include social commentary on topics like gambling among royalty ("The King as a Sport"), women's labor activism (the Livingston Manor pledge), divorce law, and capital punishment ("The Best Way to Kill"). The pieces appear to target upper-class hypocrisy and legal absurdities of the era. Without clearer identification of specific contemporary figures or events referenced, the exact satirical targets remain somewhat ambiguous, though the overall tone criticizes wealth, privilege, and legal inconsistency.

Is gambling not a part of that kind of supreme office-holding, and is there not added to it a large amount of superfluous marrying? Let us sometimes mention kings without ejacula- tions and notes of admiration, LIVE AND LET LIVE. THE WOMEN of Livingston Manor, New York, have signed a pledge not to buy for apparel any material costing more ‘than twenty-five. cents a yard. They mean well, but if all women were to take the same’ course some millions of working men and women would be thrown out of employment. Money was made for circulation, and the prudence or meanness that hoards it is injustice to those who have to earn it or die. THE WORST LAW-BREAKERS. THE LAW has twice married and twice divorced a pretty woman of the stage, and another divorce will doubtless be granted her in due season, The law is severe on minor offenders who have limited funds, but it is good for miracles of metcy that are liberally paid for. Not that the law is purposely unjust, but a lawyer of ingenuity will find a way to break any law in the books. That is his profession, and he is happie« the more laws he renders void and beneath contempt. PARALYSIS OR JINGOES? [TIS POSSIBLE to be too infernally peaceful and unambitious. It may be as bad as the opposing evil called jingo. We didn't want Hawaii, we can get along without Samoa if Ger- many doesn’t want her, and Nic thieves may steal American property and honor in taking possession of the projected canal; but if anybody tweaks Walter Gresham's nose the insult will be resented by the country no matter how ardently Walter begs for peace. THE BEST WAY TO KILL. THE CHAIR for murderers has greatly simplified the legal taking of human life. The curiosity attending the business has died out, and within a few weeks several criminals have been killed with the slightest attention from the newspapers, a paragraph or two by telegraph being all the no- tice they got. The killing is done expeditiously and thoroughly, and the rope for such purposes has come to be looked upon as barbarism. We mention this because many wise news- papers declared when the chair was nd your package has first used that it must be abolished. New Jersey, f will LABOR AND LAZINESS. THE COXEY PROBLEM has set- tled itself. The lazy bummers have faded out as organizations, re- solved themselves into particles of dirt, and left as evidence of their experi- ment merely a few rags and the tired feeling which attended it. If it had been a demonstration of labor there would have been danger in it; but it was instead an exhibition of aimless depravity and egotistical ignorance. The labor element will never make itself ridiculous in that way; but there are about one hundred and fifty thousand coal-miners who protest urgently and honestly that they cannot work hard and live on eighty cents a day. THINK AGAIN, CHARLES. Ti 1E. BALLOT-BOX will confer more protection upon woman than she has now, and she needs it). The woman tax-payer can assist in shap- ing the legislation that calls for her money, and the woman worker will eventually get more for her labor than the starvation wages allotted her in too many instances as things are, It means more independence for women, and in consequence a broader virtue. It therefore seems strange that Dr. Parkhurst should speak sneeringly of woman suffrage, and invent the term manhoodmania, which is flippant enough to be villainous. The church has some leaders who believe more in a whim of the late Mr. Paul than in any plain matter of latter-day fair play. comicbooks.com
