# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge presents a satirical column format rather than a single political cartoon. The main illustrated piece shows two figures in conversation at what appears to be a formal setting, though the specific identities remain unclear from the image alone. The text snippets employ Judge's typical format: brief, punchy satirical commentaries on contemporary politics and society. Topics include anarchism ("an anarchist is a man without a country"), labor strikes, German-Italian relations, and judicial matters. The writing style is characteristically sardonic, using rhetorical questions and paradoxes to mock public figures and political movements. Without clearer identification of specific figures or dated references in the visible text, the precise satirical targets are difficult to pinpoint, though the content appears to address fin-de-siècle political anxieties common to Judge's audience.

There is a good deal of tenderness as well as justice in President Lincoln's remark, “God must have liked the common people, he made so many of them.” THE BEST RUL S are the most unlucky.

[8 17 FAIR to ask whether a confessed and thoroughly known anarch- ist ought to be at liberty to bruise the hearts and imperil the peace of nations? The rights and the lives of millions may be better than his; and it is possible that some slight legal injustice to him is to be preferred to the open injustice which he contemplates against everybody else.

The duke of York arrives promptly to keep up the regular line three removes from her majesty; and as to the less apparent heirs— well, perhaps you had better go to work to count the leaves of the forest. PENALTY THAT IS DANGEROUS. A EADY writes the Albany Argus, “Track up the bad men as you do the bad women and politics will not need the women as they do now.” That is a very good return for the proposition that only bad women will vote; but the lady is not practical. Really, would she have this coun- try a vast penitentiary, with not enough men outside of it to run the gov- ‘ernment? PHILOLOGICAL, WHEN IN DOUBT as to the smartness or propriety of a remark, close it with the words “as it were.” They are pointless and weak, but they relieve you of your embarrassment and confer that affliction on your reader. The question “See?” is better, but it is much fatigued. Do you know the origin of “as it were"? It was a part of the confessional oratory of the weep- ers’ bench of the old-fashioned pro- tracted meeting. A WILD-EYED POET.

The ability to imagine impossibilities is not unpleasing, but it condemns that kind _of poetic mind to deserved ridicule. When Miss Willard is twenty years older she may know better than to indulge in such foolishness, provided she can manage meantime to change her sex. THE MAN WHO NEVER GETS WELL.

He ought to be a man without a world, It is his prayer that everything the decent man respects shall be destroyed. The law must respect his rights out of re- spect for itself; but when a dog is known to be mad or a man is known to be an anarchist proceedings preliminary to execution should be brief. Perhaps it is well to wait for the bite or the dagger, but it is mighty dangerous. se MISERY WITH TOO MUCH COMPANY. HE RIGHT TO STRIKE does not include the right to make sixty- five millions of people suffer for it. Most men have quarrels enough of their own, without attending to those of other persons. Doubtless the Pullman strikers have their quarrel just, but that is no reason why the rest of us should be miserable. If one sympathizes with sickness the sufferer needn't necessarily Share a disease with him. “This world is not a hospital for the many because of the sickness of a small minority. comicbooks.com
