# Political Satire Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine contains several brief satirical commentary pieces rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration depicts a well-dressed man confronting what appears to be a beggar or vagrant. Key satire targets include: - **"The Too-Combative Clergy"**: Criticizes clergymen for public whipping campaigns against vice, arguing this approach is ineffective. - **"Shrieks for the Impossible"**: Mocks a Denver women's Republican club demanding impossibly perfect standards for their organization's leadership. - **"Worth"**: Sardonically rejects the idea that angels in heaven wear fashionable dresses, suggesting Mr. Worth's high prices are unjustified. - **"A New Woman"**: Comments on Mrs. Heide's successful divorce and independent life managing apartments. The content reflects Progressive-era debates about clergy activism, women's organizations, consumerism, and evolving gender roles.

Excellent HE TREASURY of Italy is low, but the killing of several Italians in Colo- rado may be made to be an Italian boom. [T MAY be possible now for a woman to wear her best gown more than once. She can lay it to the death of Mr. Worth. NRY IRVING says that acting is not only imitative, but constructive. Very true, tlenry; and sometimes de- structive also, THINGS IN- CUBA have quite often tempted Spanish war-vessels to fire on our flag. It is obvious that we must annex Cuba as a means to the flag’s pro- tection. T HAVING been decided by a western debating society that a man may wear to church a pair of patched trousers, we will now consider the question as to the patch on his eye. SOMEBODY wants a law to withdraw the license of any school-teacher who uses tobacco. Very well; and let's have a law to discharge him if he is bow-legged and turns his toes in. NOT ALL ON blizzardous weather?” Tommy SANDERS —"* No bathing-suit on beneath these R. SPANGLER of the Pennsylvania legislature waved a flag until the speaker made him haul it down. This man is too presumptive. He seems to look upon the flag as a star-Spanglered banner. AMELIE RIVES makes a man’s heart give*a hot leap along his breast to his throat, leaving a fiery track behind, as of sparks.” One is left in doubt as to whether the man is a fire-eater or a trolley-car. WE HOPE the new widow who has been sued by a New Jersey farmer for ten thousand dollars for breach of promise will have to pay that amount. The unprotected man has had his heart broken too often. ‘THE LEGISLATURE of Indiana vetoed a veto by Governor Matthews by punching the head of his private secretary and stealing the docu- ment. We foresee the time when John L. Sullivan will be the leading law-maker of our beloved country. F MR. DOLE had failed in his revolt Queen Lil would have taken off his head. He is therefore quite kind in merely relieving her of her liberty and her money and other property. It will be observed that treason depends upon the force the traitor is able to command. If he has enough of it he ceases to be a traitor and becomes a government. Fasy WaLkER—"‘Aren't you rather scantily clad for this THE TOO-COMBATIVE CLERGY. HE REV. FRANK TALMAGE says the clergyman of this city who insulted the Goulds and Castellanes ought to be publicly whipped. Probably that wouldn't do. Mr. Talmage goes as much too far in one way as the local clergyman goes in another. The latter seeks notoriety, and it is not impossible that the proposed experience at the whipping-post would suit him exactly. TURN ABOUT. ET US HOPE that the whirligig of time will bring revenge to the young American woman who marries to suit herself. Sometimes journalists marry, and it ought to be her privilege to abuse them on such occasions like so many pickpockets. But first she must learn the great art of neglecting her own business to attend to that of persons of whom she has no right to any particular information. SHRIEKS FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE. ENVER has a woman's Republican club, and it declares that it will vote for “none but wholly acceptable candidates.” Perhaps we are to have the new man right away. Only this man can be wholly accept- able to an organization having a great many wholly different standards of excellence. Therefore the new man must be the perfect man; and in that case the Denver club must reform itself sufficiently to be the perfect organization. SILVER. SILVER PARTY wants to run a millionaire for president and to have asilver organ in this city. The two de- sires go together very harmoniously. It is not a good time for the friends of silver to burden themselves with an enormous debt. They might be obliged to call on bankers at home and abroad to save their credit, after the manner of the general government, and that would knock their silverism and populism, and all their other isms, higher than a kite. WORTH. WE CANNOT accept the suggestion of a contemporary that Mr. Worth is now inventing dresses for the angels in heaven. There is no marrying or giving in marriage over there. Therefore the male angel is not pestered with the mat- ter of domestic finance, and we all know that women are too stingy to pay high prices for finery out of their own pockets. And there may be a doubt as to the eligi- bility of Mr. Worth for a home in the de- lectable mountains, anyhow. A NEW WOMAN. MBS. HEIDE of this town occupied two apartments of one flat, one with THE SURFACE. quite comfortable. 1 have my her husband and the other with her lover. garments.” The case of Dr. Jeckyll was not worse, and as a result Mr. Heide has been given adivorce. Thus we are reminded again of the progress the new woman is making. Many men have lived double lives with that number of fami- lies, but Mrs. Heide is the first woman to do it with any kind of success, Is it not possible that things may change with too much rapidity ? SOME IDLE HOURS. HEN SAM BOWLES of the Springfield Republican was arrested in this city of a Saturday night many years ago, at the suit of Jim Fisk, and kept in jail over Sunday, he said he had at least learned one thing by his experience—he had mastered the make-up of the Brooks brothers’ New York Express, which was apparently thrown together with ashovel. If they get Mr. Dana in the jail at Washington perhaps he may be happy if he is given numerous files of the Congressional Record, TAKE DOWN THE BELLS. (CHURCH-BELLS were perhaps invented as a result of the proposition that certain kinds of worship are imperative on the man and his conscience, and the man must not rest when any puritan might adjudge it his duty to get up and shout or pray. It is too late for that kind of religious tyranny. Rest may be a duty or a religion, and the absence of it may bring about a penalty worse than the displeasure of a crced. The church owes the weary and the sick the courtesy of silence in the belfry. comicbooks.com
