This page contains political commentary and satirical short pieces typical of Judge magazine's format. The main cartoon depicts "Hard Luck," showing a figure labeled "Captain" on a bicycle with passengers, illustrating a commentary on difficulty or misfortune. The text pieces use wit to critique contemporary politics and public figures. References include Cleveland (likely President Grover Cleveland), the tariff debate, free trade policy, and various political scandals. One piece mocks "The Greatest Traitors" (appears to reference Senate figures), while another comments on Governor Waite and political revolution. The satire employs caustic humor to address late 19th-century American political controversies—trade policy, governmental competence, and ideological conflict—though specific historical events referenced remain partially unclear without additional context about Judge's publication date.

The petition to give women the right to raise whiskers seems to us to be unwise. [MPENDING POLITICAL CHANGES—Abolishment of the lords, of our senate, and of the administration cabinets of Italy and France.

THE KAISER has suffered from a sinall tumor, and there are fears that he has inherited the cancerous tendencies of his lamented father. A world of syripathy has thus been turned in his direction, and the fact of his ability and activity bas simultaneously suggested itself. He is a very bright young man, and if he lives will probably be one of the greatest rulers that Europe has had. THE SACRED WHITE ELEPHANT. NOTHING IN-THE_LIFE of Senator.Hill does him more good, prob- ably, than his industrious punching of the senatorial elephant, whose dignity has awed the republic for so many years, and whose sacredness has been a thing to worship, never to question. And the animal that was to have crushed him with its majestic stupidity submits very amiably, on the whole, to the twisting of its portentous tail. THE END OF IT. HA VAI must bother us no more, and to that end the other nations must keep their pestiferous hands off of her. While we don’t want her, nobody else must have her. At first glance this seems to be the fine Italian growl of the dog in the manger; but it really is the democratic principle that Hawaii must take care of herself because we haven't the necessary time or inclination to carry war into that kind of Africa. AN INTELLECTUAL SETTLEMENT. BOSTON is the only place in this country that can boast of a modern duel with swords; and it was better than any recent French event of that kind, since one of the combatants was badly hurt. Possibly there are persons who abject to this duel on the ground of morality; but we may urge that one of the seconds was a young divinity student, and that the affair was conducted dec- orously and with the utmost pro- priety throughout. THE HUMILIATED METAL. THOMAS B. REED shows a de- sire for western sympathy in his proposed compromise with other nations in behalf of silver. He would force or coax silver back into Z something of its former greatness. There are many who have an ar- dent affection for silver, but it is easy for the metal to get extremely warm in the hands of a man like Thomas B Reed. Meanwhile Will- iam McKinley is confining himself to the main issue with his accu tomed serenity. runs Dat's seventy-nii If yer don't pitch THE SUEZ MILLIONS, :-PENSIONS to the wife and children of Ferdinand de Lesseps. presented by the Suez canal company, involve a matter of justice that ought to be recognized the world over. More than any other, despite the misfortunes of his old age, de Lesseps is the grand old man of France; and it was not his honor, but that of the government, that was hurt in the Panama explosion. May he live long to enjoy his portion of the many fortunes his genius made. THE BELITTLED MALE. R named Hercules Sanches said the other night in this If there should come a necessity for woman to shoulder a K A city, musket, in defense of our country, I would rather trust my defense to one woman than two men.” There is a modesty here which accords poorly h the name that belongs to it. Indeed, it indicates a contempt for manhood greater than any woman has yet expressed. It is possible that this Hercules merely intended a compliment for woman as a soldier, but he had no business to bite the ground in his obsequious admiration, HE MUST BE CHOKED OFF. GOVERNOR WAIL E wants to be a martyr, and should be given the opportunity. He has contempt for law and order and for all author- ity but his own. He hates opinion and is the blatant enemy of fact. Larger and lesser governments than his own were created solely for his oppression, and he chafes under them. Only pronounced ignorance can breed such characters, and only that makes possible the most vicious of the tyranny of irresponsible revolution, He is equally the enemy of heaven and the United States, and the most dangerous of a multitude of lunatics. comicbooks.com
