# Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis The main cartoon titled "HE WANTED TO KNOW" depicts a judge questioning a defendant about currency. The judge asks if the defendant's tenner (ten-dollar bill) is "gold or silver bullion, gold or other certificates, national currency, legal tender, [or] standard." This satirizes late 19th/early 20th-century American monetary confusion—the nation had multiple competing currency types (gold, silver, certificates, greenbacks) without clear standardization. The cartoon mocks how confusing this system had become, suggesting even legal authorities couldn't determine what counted as legitimate money. The surrounding editorial snippets address various political topics (Tammany Hall corruption, women's voting rights, press freedom), but the main cartoon's focus is monetary chaos through humorous legalism.

ME: INGALLS says it would be better for the country if women might vote, but it wouldn't be so well for the women. It may be so, but we fear the gentleman is prejudiced. Mrs. Lease claims to have stopped his return to the senate, and it is not to be wondered at that he thinks she has hoofs in her slippers and horns under her autumnal bonnet. THE IMPENDING JUSTICE. UDGE GAYNOR tells of suffering from a vibration of pain, ‘That is, perhaps, a proper preliminary to the quick destruction that comes from electricity and which is followed by the remark “He never knew what hurt him.” Perhaps “Hit with a club" will be a term long and strong enough to tell of the fate of Hill and his followers; and the obitu- ary will not be complete without the words, “Gone to meet their Uncle Maynard.” KILL IT FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. HE NATION demands the killing of Tammany. It is not a party matter, but one of good or bad government. Tammany robs all, and especially disgraces the party with which it assumes to serve, Thou- sands of Democrats in this town will vote to kill Tammany and thereby relieve themselves of robbery and humiliation, Tammany is not a politi- cal organization so much as a body of thieves and ruffians of larger de- gree. Opposition to those scoundrels is not partisanship, but good citi- zenship. RETRIBUTION. MB: FAIRCHILD speaks pity- ingly of men like Maynard, Sheehan and Frank Rice who are occupying Mr. Hill's private grave- yard; so that the old remark as to putting men in holes has a new meaning. But justice and conse- quent retribution are about to pre- vail; and these melancholy lines may now be resurrected with good effect: \ He digged a pit, he digged it deep, He digged it for his brother ; But one sad day he did fall in The pit he digged for other.” - STRIKE FOR LIBERTY AND HONOR. NEW YORK proposes to have the assurance that she can go out of doors night or day without danger of being clubbed and rob- bed by her own policemen. She has not had that freedom in years, and the country and the world look with astonishment and horror at the outrages, known and proved, of the scoundrels whom she pays to pro- tect her. There must be relief from this miserable tyranny and shame or the city will get the repu- tation of a community of fools gov- erned by the meanest and most rapacious of rascals. BLAB. HE CASE of the murdered Montgomery Gibbs of ‘Buffalo discloses two things—one that a woman cannot keep a secret to save her or her husband’s neck, and the other that murder will out whenever she has anything to do with it, There was positively no suspicion of the guilty Robinsons, and there was not a theory that might have included them. The moral is obvious. No man who values his: own'safety will have a woman as his partner in any kind of crime; and we have no doubt that that is the main reason why David B. Hill is and will always remain a bachelor. APAISM. OLORADO is headquarters for many members of the American pro- tective association, and the Denver News prints affidavits which show that juries are packed against Catholics and that court officers make it their business to give them unfair trials or no trials at all. The News also shows that a member who favors a Catholic for any office whatever is branded by resolution as a traitor and perjurer, and instructions are given that after death his grave shall be marked to his disgrace. Hereto- fore such parties in this country have had a brief existence. The wonder now is that they do not die before they are born, comicbooks.com
