# "His Annual Job" Cartoon Analysis This satirical cartoon depicts a man (likely a politician or government official) performing degrading labor—apparently shoveling manure or waste—labeled as his "annual job." The accompanying caption mocks his claim that he's "giving the yondah mountain an' whitewash de tops to make it look snow-coated. Shammah boss'dals is comin'." The satire appears to target political corruption or incompetence: a public official performs performative, menial work while claiming respectability. The broken dialect suggests mockery of either the official himself or those he serves. The cartoon critiques the gap between politicians' self-presentation and their actual usefulness—they engage in meaningless labor while accepting public positions. Without clearer identification of the specific figure, the exact political target remains uncertain, though the message condemns fraudulent or ineffectual governance.

HE SWORD of Don M. Dickinson is continually getting between his legs, and he is in as much danger as if he were aboard a bicycle. And mentally he is worse off still; for the man who suggests arstanding army for this country gives evidence that he has even lost his head and doesn’t know where to find it. A WEATHER- BREAKER. OUR NEW GIRLS have been named after the Cleveland family, one of them taking the name Groveretta, and the papa of the quartette delicately intimates that he can buy a nice new home for seven hundred dollars. But he must not have a home He is needed outside to put up his face and bite the destructive elements. CHURCH AND WHEEL. BISHOP CONE of western New York proclaimed against the riding of bicycles by women. As a result we believe there are thirteen women of his churches that ignore the wheel. Five of them are too old, five are invalids, and the other three are dead. The good bishop needn't mourn, however. ‘The church is as powerful as ever. but the new woman believes herself competent to have her own way. PRESKI THE FIRST. LOTTIE PRESKI, nineteen y old, is the first woman to serve as a walking delegate. Her successors will be numerous if not great, but she is worthy to lead them, for she can make eight dollars a week at her pro- fession of sewing on buttons. Very few male walking delegates have been able to earn as much as that, perhaps because their superiority will not per- mit them to engage in any menial oc- cupation. STATES RULED BY CRANKS. A CONVENTION of evangelists re- cently held in Boston declared Maine to be the seat of Satan, and spoke of the state as one in which rum was king. Drinking, dancing and gambling, they said, were the rule, and large sections had no churches and buried the dead without prayer. These charges are not new; but it is deemed a virtue by a great many persons to cling to prohibition as a principle if it ruins morals and crowds asylums for the insane. THE FOOLISH TRUTH. R. CLEVELAND claimed twenty-eight trout as his share of the spoils of a recent fishing expedition, frankly admitting that his companions caught nearly as many as he. We recall a shooting expedition that he underwent while governor, under the auspices of Seth Green, Mr. Green had coaxed a buck to fly by him within shooting distance, and the gov- ernor didn’t shoot. “Slipped, didn’t you?” asked Mr. Green suggestively. “No,” said the governor sturdily, ‘It must have been buck fever. I felt scared.” There must be some redeeming features in a man who won't lie under such circumstances. THE IMPERILED HOME. ‘THE REVEREND DR. HENSON of Chicago says the devil began business by setting man against God. Then, alluding to the first murder, the devil set man against man. Now, in recognition of the new woman, his satanic majesty proposes to set woman against man and thus break up the home. “The world,” says Mr. Henson, “can stil go on while nations war against nations; but when in every house there is war declared between man and woman then comes the end, with the race wiped out and the devil in possession of the planet.” We hadn't supposea that things were as bad as that. Has Dr. Henson no faith in the power of the Almighty? comicbooks.com
