What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine contains political commentary and social satire typical of the publication's style. The main cartoon, titled "The Wrong Mask," depicts two figures in conversation, with one asking "What are you doing with the mask, Pat?" The other responds "Share, an' me live Tim is ketcher for his base-ball nine an' asked me t' buy him wan." The cartoon appears to satirize Irish immigrants (suggested by the dialect and names "Pat" and "Tim"), likely mocking their social practices or economic circumstances. The accompanying text pieces critique various political and social figures—references to Governor Flower, Mrs. Jellyby's charitable work, and women's suffrage suggest this addresses late 19th-century American politics and reform movements. The overall tone reflects Judge's characteristic blend of class-conscious humor and political commentary targeting contemporary American society.

T TOOK YEARS to discover that Washington had a mother, and now that lady has a monument. Justice is dilatory, but time is long. NGLAND is reading quite extensively Mr. Stead's book on Chicago wickedness.

MAUD BANKS needn't ery out that women must have their rights.

SOON, according to “Dick Dasher” of the Dispatch, there will be more buttermilk than beer sold over the Pittsburg bars. Here is a sur- prising discovery. About how much alcohol is there in a pint of butter- milk, and when shall we begin to hear lectures by Brother Dow on the worm of the churn? THE WHEEL AND THE BALLOT. WOMEN do not ride the bicycle. They get their exercise in trying to mount and subsequently picking themselves up. We are aware that there is a man who says be has seen a woman ride two blocks; but it is too evident that he wants to run for office when the sex votes, and his lie is too palpable for serious consideration. A CHEAP ACTOR. HENRY, the anarchist, cried “Courage, comrades!” in a thin, piping voice, just before he was pushed under the knife, and directly it transpired that he was dead before the knife reached him. Possibly here was a brave man; but it is more reasonable to suppose that his love of the theatrical was stronger than his fear of death. MR. WHITNEY’S AMBITION. MB: WHITNEY may run for governor of this state, with the pre dency in view; but so far as is known he has not lost all of hi political prudence. Let him recall the remark of Artemus Ward during a critical period of the Democratic war against the union, “If I'm drafted,” said Artemus after profound reflection, “I shall resign.” THEIR SOUL-STIRRING ARDOR. THERE IS NOT a woman in this part of the world who is not considering her rights and making speeches about them. Various household duties are neglected to attend to that, after the manner of Mrs. Jellyby in her devotion to Borrioboola Gha It will not do to say that the sex is barren of ideas, though it may have only one at a time. Undoubtedly women will vote in due season ; but when the time comes there will be thou- sands of them so zealous in preparation and demand that they will altogether forget to go to the ballot-box. A BLIGHTED BLOOM. HERE HAS BEEN much partisan legis- lation in this state, but there has been as much partisan veto, Governor Flower in judging the former has omitted all recogni- tion of the good involved in behalf of the many outside of partisanism ; and everybody knows that without such work as is done by the Lexow committee there would be no pro- tection against the politicians who have rob- bed this city so largely and so long. No— | this will be a mighty poor year for Mr. Flower to run again; and the presidency is as far out of his reach as the man in the moon. . THE WISDOM IN WHITE AND BLUE, THE TITLE of the composition of the sweet-girl graduate must be as long as her train, It must be intricate and mysterious, and treat of forces that are total strangers to the average of mankind, and to herself as well. It would be pleasant if she were to write simply and entertain- ingly; but the essay of the male graduate is her model and her teachers Fill allow nothing that does not give apparent evidence of study and pro- fundity. Poor girl! Perhaps she can find the meaning of her words in the stars ; but, anyhow, she has this comfort—she will never have to do it again. THE WOMAN FINANCIER. LET US NOT be too rude in discussing Mrs. Kate Bradford of Brook- lyn, who is now absent because she tried to borrow money and pay a hundred per cent. yearly interest on it. Ferdinand Ward had the same idea, and there were many men who believed in him and drew their inter- est with rapidity and regularity until the crash came and surprised as well as injured some of them. Mrs. Howe of Boston was believed in by such experienced ladies as Kate Field and Abigail Dodge. But Mrs. Bradford was the meanest of the lot. She ruined not only a good many strangers, but her dear, doting, trusting husband. That is the unpardon- able sin, comicbooks.com
