# Judge Magazine Political Content Analysis This page contains editorial commentary rather than cartoons. The visible illustration shows two figures in conversation ("I'll hear some news to-day; mine nose itches" / "Then I expect it will be something big"), appearing to satirize gossip or political rumors. The text addresses 1890s American political issues: Irish home rule, tariff policy (Republicans claiming victory), and Democratic electoral prospects. References include McKinley and Harrison (suggesting 1890s context), Cleveland's congressional record, and Japanese immigration concerns. The "Boogie Editor" section mocks an editor's pretentious writing style. Other pieces critique social issues like wealthy Black men's social acceptance and presidential security. The overall tone is Republican-leaning political satire typical of Judge's era.

SHING COMPANY, 110 Fifth avenue, New York, AMINATION of Mr. Sheehan was a case of Goff against HE RESIGNATION of the German chancellor was too Caprivious, we think, THE RETIREMENT of Tammany is so pronounced that you can hear it drop. WE FEEL SURE that if Miss Nethersole had an i in it she would put the emphasis on that letter. WE SUSPECT the sincerity of a certain reformer who ob- jects to dancing, because he has a cork leg. HERE IS NEED of a new arith- metic. There are not figures enough to go around the Repub- lican majorities. : THE FIRM TONE in which Cleveland spoke up for Thanks- giving rejoiced the heart of Mr. Thacher—but not much. t A CHOICE OF EVILS. LORD SALISBURY says abolishment of the house of lords would be to leave England and Scotland at the mercy of south and west Ire- land. Perhaps it is better to be protected by inherited idiocy; and again we get along with Irish rule fairly well over here—now that we have par- tially abolished it. THE PEOPLE'S VICTORY. ‘THE REDEMPTION of this city from Tammany is the greatest moral victory the city ever knew. It will now be possible to have a govern- ment that is not supported by thieves, burglars, bunco-steerers, lewd women and pimps. A local machine worse than Tweed dreamed of has been gloriously smashed, and nobody is going to save the pieces. NOW AND IN 'NINETY-SIX. ‘THE TARIFF must have had something to do with those tremendous Republican victories. The people were prosperous under protection, and they starved under the idiocy that followed it. That is the story in brief; and it indicates most certainly a great national protection victory in ‘ninety-six, whether the man at the front is McKinley, Harrison or Reed. THE BOGIE EDITOR. HE EDITOR who makes charges against candidates is taking a rest. He has smoothed his corrugated brow and drawn in his fangs. There isn't any venom in him, poor soul! and he will not charge himself with bitterness and gall again until next fall. What a terrible fellow he is! and yet what a gentle smile and what mild ways he has when you come to know him, and how easily his small but courageous wife leads him by his unresisting ear. HILL’S FUTURE, ¢eTHE LAST OF HILL,” say some political prophets. Not necessarily, The Democrats must have a national candidate two years hence, and you must never count on Hill's death until he has been a long time buried. He made a gal- Jant fight. He has more Democrat- ic followers to-day than ever before. Who so prominent as he for the national nomination? But he may not One sound m ant that honor. mite whipping may be all he needs. TOO PERSONAL, eee T'll hear some news to-day; mine nose itches.” “Then [expect it will be something big.” H LEASE says, “When 1 cannot talk I want to be bur- Yes, dear; and when you do talk the rest of us want to be buried. THE KAISER gets his literary ability honestly. His grandmother wrote a book—a pretty good book, because she never lost her crown. M ied. THE RECORDING ANGEL doubtless blots the campaign fie with a tear because she knows there will be a new and more startling kind of falsehood for the next election. NRY GLOE of Wisconsin has married for the third time a woman from whom he has been twice divorced. Mr. Gloe is so evidently emotional that one may suspect him of the sort of thing that lights up the western horizon, VELAND took pains to have it known that he wanted success ional elections, He didn’t word about Hill, If he had indorsed that gentleman there wouldn't have been enough of him left for indentitication, in the congres: THE CHINESE of this country are very severe in conversation with regard to such Japanese as pass them by. We hope for peace, how= ever. We should hate to see a gentleman from Japan turn upon and destroy our entire Chinese population. RANCES WILLARD says women have more backbone than men, and cites the case of Eve, who, she says, was made out of the back- bone of Adam. It was a rib, base woman! and the mean thing hooked it, at that, when her confiding husband was asleep. SECESSION? EDITOR of the Rochester Union thinks it possible that the populistic cranks out west will try secession, as Waite and others have threatened, and advises the government to prepare for that event. But the editor of the Courzer-Journal pooh-poohs the idea, and as he has tried the experiment of secession he knows. It might be well, however, to add half-a-dozen soldiers to the regular army. Everybody knows what a populist may threaten, but nobody knows how magnificent a fool he may become. PROTECTION FOR PRESIDENTS. DETECTIVES might have saved the lives of Lincoln and Garfield. Many cranks seek large victims, and the more conspicuous a man is the greater his danger as a target. It certainly doesn’t look democratic for the president of this republic to be attended by detectives; but it would be more incongruous to surround him with a glittering staff, one of whose inevitable purposes would be his protection against violence. If there is ybody who wants to be shot, let him make fun of the president's detect- ives; no others have the right. ANOTHER SOCIAL PROBLEM. THE WEALTHY BLACK MAN who has shocked the sensibilities of some society leaders in Brooklyn by buying a mansion in their neigh- borhood has the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and probably wants his choice of methods of living which the national and the state constitutions give him. ‘There are many who will have sympathy with his grieved neighbors; and yet, as one newspaper suggests, if north- ern society tabooes the black man in this way how can it blame soutnern society for refusing to ride in the cars and sit at table with him? comicbooks.com
