# Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis The central cartoon depicts a chaotic domestic scene titled "Spokesman" with figures engaged in heated argument. The caption references someone being "peered when crossin' de" and mentions "Osberbe's stern look ob resentabush." The surrounding text articles address contemporary social issues: "Writers Who Shock" criticizes tea drunkenness; "The Cultivated Toe" mocks intellectual pretension about feet; "Celebrated Whiskers" jokes about facial hair; and "Some Verbal Obliquity" discusses Senator Hill's political allusions. The cartoon's crude domestic violence depiction was typical of Judge's satirical approach to marital discord—a recurring theme in Gilded Age humor. The specific figures and dialogue are unclear from the OCR, but the overall thrust satirizes working-class domestic turbulence and linguistic peculiarities of the era.

HETTY GREEN says to young women, “ Marry men who don’t part their hair in the middle and who have only moderate means.” If the financial part of this proposition is good the old lady sets a horrible example.

This assumption of ignorance on the part of a man whose very name suggests high-low-jack is obviously intended to create an erroneous impression. THE ANNEXATION of Newfoundland, according to the Rochester Herald, is as much a military and philanthropic necessity as the an- nexation of Hawaii. Very likely; but what this country wants, to be en- tirely safe, is the annexation of the north pole. AT THE TARRYTOWN WRITERS WHO SHOCK. WRITER is shocked at the number of tea drunkards in this city. Kecently there was surprise at the number of ginger drunkards. There are discoveries of this kind every day; so that it becomes necessary to rebuke the sensation drunkard, who is never at the end of his lies and is the worst of the gluttonous batch. THE CULTIVATED TOE. [NTELLECTUAL TOES are gravely discussed by a Rochester artist. It is one of the frightful results of the Trilby business. Also, it is a fad with some women to have their feet photographed for exhibition, so that it may be known to an anxious public whether they have intellectual toes and educated heels. And how fortunate it is that du Maurier gave so little of the anatomy of bis charmingly wicked girl. CELEBRATED WHISKERS. Will the New-Vorkers who find so much that is humorous in the whiskers of the states man from Kansas please inform the inhabitants of Chicago what excuse or palliation they. have to offer for the whiskers of Dr. Parkhurst ?—Chicago Herald. N OTE ONE impressive fact, It is not the whiskers that make the man, but the man that makes the whiskers. ‘The wind bloweth where it listeth, but it lingers longest and most affectionately on the outer chops of Chauncey M. Depew. SOME VERBAL OBLIQUITY. WE CANNOT THINK that Senator Hill intended to whack Mr. Croker in his allusion to speculative sportsmen. The senator's desire for cleaner politics is a pleasing surprise, and one couldn't wonder more if Mr. Croker should ex- pose to the world a similar yearning; but what, as Mr. Timothy Campbell might remark, is pure politics between friends? No, indeed! There was no allusion to Mr. Croker in that speech, and we can prove it by Mr. Maynard, THE PASSION FOR CELE- BRATING. ‘¢GARATOGA DAY “is a suggestion by the Saratogian and a member of the legislature. Its date is October 17th, and it commemorates the surrender of Burgoyne. We have long thought that this state and this country have too few legal holidays. Let us make them the rule instead of the exception. Let us preserve our Sundays and have about three days a month for labor and busi- ness. The suffering people are worked too hard, and it is not right that invalids should have a monopoly of idleness. TABLEAUX. SPOKESMAN —" Heah, ladies an’ gents, we hab er lifelike pictur’ ob de great Napoleon as he ‘peared when crossin’ de Alps. Obserbe de stern look ob reserlushon in his eye an’ de noble steed.” THERE MUST be less exemption from jury duty, thinks the Rochester Post Express, because the quality of juries has been lowered, and judges are EXEMPT ALL. frequently obliged to rebuke jurors for foolish verdicts. It ought to be one of the privileges of freedom and good government to refuse to act for the settlement of other men’s quarrels, most men having enough to do to take care of their own business. Why not professional jurors? They would certainly be as much the peers of contesting persons as the jurors who act under the prevailing system. GEORGE AND NAPOLEON. [F OUR WASHINGTON might visit these shores long enough to behold his own greatness he would be so abashed at it that he would fain go hastily around the corner to get away from himself. Then he might run against the shade of Napoleon and find in its supposititious face a look of surprise and incredulity; and the question might be discussed between them, “Have these states turned from their democracy to wor- ship monarchs and the things which appertain to kingdoms?" The ques- tion wouldn't be quite fair, for the ballot-box is still the only emperor we have, regardless of indications. The gratifying truth is that time deals generously with greatness, and distance gives enchantment to the view of it. And assuredly the people understand the difference between a general who fought in defense of unquestionable justice and a general who murdered to gratify his avarice of power and what is said to be glory. comicbooks.com
