What you’re looking at

The central illustration labeled "EXISTING PROOF" depicts a domestic scene where a woman appears to be physically attacking or restraining a man, with furniture scattered about. This cartoon satirizes the temperance movement and women's rights advocacy of the era. The accompanying text mocks reformers' claims that alcohol prohibition and expanded female suffrage would solve social problems. The satire suggests these movements are naive—domestic violence and marital discord won't be cured by legislation alone. The cartoonist presents a skeptical view of progressive reform movements, arguing that granting women greater power (through voting rights) or eliminating alcohol won't automatically improve society or prevent domestic conflict, undermining both temperance and suffrage advocates' utopian claims.

PAPER in Lynchburg, Virginia, urges an ordinance for that town which shall keep commercial travelers from visiting it. To be en- tirely consistent it should bar the town against all strangers, since, like the travelers, they pay no taxes and build no houses, though they may be obliged to patronize the local hotels. And then the rest of the United States should build a wall around itself and bar out Lynchburg. OH, NO! ELEN GOUGAR says Miss Anthony is a hoodoo to the cause of woman's rights, and invites her to step aside and let a younger woman take her place. There is something so dastardly in that propo- sition that a mere man would never be guilty of it. Suffrage with Miss Anthony retired, after her long agony in behalf of suffrage, would be the rankest injustice. She has won the vic- tory and she must have the lioness’s share ON THE FOURTH tet no boy or woman omit their bangs.

GREAT PEACE OR GREAT WAR, MB: TURPIN of France has given his native land a gun that will shoot twenty-five thousand shots a minute, and would probably with a fair chance wipe out the German army in a quarter of an hour.

The methods of the close of the century are very destructive or very safe—you can guess it out for yourself. SOME SULTANS. HEN A SULTAN dies the first Qfecstion relates not necessarily to the woman at the bottom of ‘it, but to the individual, probably of the other sex, who killed him, Abdul Aziz of Turkey. was choked to death by somebody, and there is doubt as to the cause of the sudden de- parture of Muley Hassan of Morocco, who is succeeded by a son of the same name as the unfortunate Turk. It is surprising that these royal murders should occur in this century, but there is compensation in the thought that there are many rulers who ought to be killed who still Survive, HE SHALL GNASH HIS TEETH. A. MAGEE of Winnipeg, Manitoba, writes us that the men of his country are “athletes who will never be annexed, but if it comes to a fight are not afraid to face a nation that is rapidly degenerating into two classes, paupers and fools.” It hurts us to be called names like that; but we could stand it if Mr. Magee hadn't previously stated that he had paid for-and read the JUDGE five years. Of several million persons he is the poorest. scholar we have, and when Uncle Sam annexes his mean old country-he shall;be pitched into the outer darkness, blarst his tarry top- lights! THE LATER RUNYMEDE, SRE KING JOHN of this period is the universal man. This man is no longer all-powerful, however, He has compromised and conciliated in behalf of the ballot for many western women, and there is a fair pros- pect that he will concede the ballot in due season to all the women of this government. The sex have called him down and presented their magna charta, and he must sign to-day or to-morrow. This is progress, whether the change is wholly wise or only partially so; and on this independence day every woman should swing her bonnet and cheer her loudest cheer for the banner that will presently wave o'er the land of the free and the enfranchised slave. comicbooks.com
