What you’re looking at
This page contains satirical commentary on early 20th-century political figures and issues. The main cartoon depicts what appears to be a social gathering with figures in period dress, likely satirizing debates or controversies of the era. The text references include commentary on Senator Butler, Governor Tillman, and discussions of Congressional debates. There's satire directed at political figures termed "Debses" (likely referring to Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist politician), with Cleveland mentioned as "king of the Debses." The page also contains commentary on labor immigration, strikes, and the "suffrage women" debate—suggesting this is from the Progressive Era (early 1900s) when these issues dominated American politics. The overall tone mocks political pretension and incompetence across party lines while addressing contemporary labor and women's rights controversies.

CAUSE FOR **Qaick, Josh ! | Aunt Waynac Uncie. J Aust Waynack—" I jest heerd on ter cut some man dead ther next time them female anarchists we heerd tell of MILLIONAIRES who dodge taxes overlook the fact, perhaps, that their responsibility is not easily assumed by women who own merely a house and lot. TH E SUFFRAGE WOMEN of this state look upon the constitutional convention with unutterable scorn, If it becomes utterable God save the constitutional convention. T WILL presently take two large armies of outsiders to keep the C nese and Japanese soldiers from running away, and they are liable to go a couple of miles into the open sea. OSEPH MEDILL says the great strike ‘will have the effect of making Chicago greater than New York"; but it has long been admitted that ‘ago has more crime than New York ever dreamed of. TRUST that women will never be permitted to vote on the proposition that they be allowed to vote. If they are the amend- ment will go nine feet under ground and come up only with the next locusts. WE DON'T KNOW that Flower is out of politics, notwithstanding his assertion to that effect; but he surely will be early in Novem- ber, whether he makes a farewell tour or not. Nobody questions his right toa renomination, and that is just what troubles him. What's the mat‘er ?? ADLAI. STEVENSON is a favorite down south, and recently Senator E. A. Butler mentioned him for president. He is a greenbacker and a silverite, and that is getting pretty near to populism. Heaven save Grover Cleveland to the end of his term. After that these dangers will regulate themselves. WHERE DOHERTY GOT IT. THE FRANKNESS of ex-Police-captain Doherty of this city ought to serve as a lesson to Richard Croker. Mr. Doherty says he made about twenty-two hundred dollars out of an investment of five hundred. It was in stocks, It was a little flyer with a man unknown to him and whom he mostly forgets; but he has the money, and that is the ma point. Think of this, Mr. Croker. How very simple it is" MAY OF TECK. MUCH IS SAID of the duke‘of York, and should his health fail he will be regularly bulletined. His pa is occasionally mentioned, his grandpa is watched lest he be overcome by A/s exertions, and his,great- grandmother is congratulated with regard to him over and over ‘again, Now what of his ma? Is she forgotten or is she dead? Poor, lonely woman! Having produced a possible king, all interest in her is dead. We call Miss Anthony's attention to this, She ought to talk about it. THE OFFICIAL DEBSES. EUGENE V.is not the only Debs. The Debses of congress are numer- . ous, and worse than E. V. They have stopped a thousand wheels where E. V. has stopped one. Gorman is a Debs. Voorhees and Smith and Vest and Brice and all the other Democratic senators are Debses, Cleveland is king of the Debses and Wilson is his secretary. ‘These are very hard times and they are responsible for it. What shall be done with these higher Debses? They are above law, but happily they are not above the ballot-box. GENERAL -SMALLEY,. MB: SMALLEY of the Z+iéune tells how he, was’ invited by some unknown person to labor with Joe Hooker at a critical moment of the battle of Antietam, and get him to take the army from General MacClellan and lead it to victory. Hooker was at the time disabled by a severe wound, however, and for that reason refused the respon- bility. It" is curious that Mr. Smalley didn’t see /#s opportunity on that memorable occasion; and if he had how much. our subsequent military and civil history might have been improved! ALAKM, Jet us git away from here.” ne o' them women say she war goin’ he seed him, 1 guess she's one 0 IMMIGRANTS AND EMIGRANTS. WO PERSONS of foreign birth are going out of this country to every one that comes into it. That has not been the case before since the landing on Plymouth rock. It is a natural result of the hard times, and of the excess of labor over the demand for it. Probably we have got to the end of the meanness that imports cattle to take the place of American labor, especially as the strikers of to-day are to a large extent the cattle themselves, The JUDGE. begs to repeat the suggestion that this is not a nation of cheap workers and cheap voters. DICTATOR PULLMAN. MB: PULLMAN has the protection of federal and local governments in the prosecution of his immense business. He got his right of way from these governments, though that was owned originally by the people who elected the governments, not a man of whom is beneath his notice. When, therefore, he says he asks no protection and will submit to no arbitration on the part of these governments or these pecole, he is auto- cratic against common sense. ordinary gratitude, and law and justice. He is no king. He is a millionaire subject to the laws of Ilinois and the United States, The right of self-defense belongs to others as weil as to himself. And it is just possible that he is as liable to be convicted of con- spiracy as the heads of the labor unions. comicbooks.com
