# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains brief editorial commentary rather than political cartoons. The visible cartoon illustrates "The Non-Protective Mask," showing two figures in what appears to be a fencing or combat pose, suggesting commentary on protective measures that fail to protect. The text snippets mock various topics: political figures' vanity (Ben Harrison's appearance), religious hypocrisy, journalism ethics, and social pretense. One item ridicules "Mrs. Lease" for claiming safety while behaving recklessly—likely referring to Mary Elizabeth Lease, a Populist Party speaker known for fiery rhetoric. The final piece "Pay the Juror Decently" argues jurors deserve fair compensation, criticizing newspapers that expect jurors to sacrifice time without adequate pay. Overall, this represents Judge's typical satirical approach: brief, pointed jabs at public figures and social contradictions of the Gilded Age era.

THE NEW BIBLE by Mrs. Stanton will show Mr. Samson in the act of cutting Delilah’s hair. BEN HARRISON looks in his new picture as if he wouldn't run away from any camera or nomination. THE THEOLOGY discussed by Platt and Tom Reed on a re- cent Sunday related wholly to the doctrine of election, YOU MAY BE quite certain that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but keep your eye 60 Benjamin Harrison, cee THE ACTORS’ UNION may be known from the ease and ra- pidity with which it enacts the mat- rimonial matter of secession. N RS LEASE tells us that the Z THE NON-PROTECTIVE coming man will be hairless Very well. As a matter of safety that man must be a bachelor. Before the Gest Ball pltched, MARK TWAIN is mistaken, This és a nation of kickers. We have about nine national parties, not counting Miss Anthony or William R, Grace. A TRUSTEE of a Buffalo church who is having trouble with bis priest is named Sz. Praybysz. If this man sleeps with himself he must have bad dreams. JOHN W. FOSTER gets one hundred thousand dollars as an angel of peace from China, and is so anxious for another job of that kind that he is willing to fight for it. THE NAM one pay things half-way in Chicago. of an ex-state senator of Illinois has been found on thirty- olls of the Chicago city government. Nobody ever does GEORGE J. GOULD is credited with a desire to get into the national senate by the New Jersey route; and truly that is the headquarters of very large stock interests. A DOCTOR has been expelled from a Savannah medical association for advertising, and now the association is mad because the fact hasn't been sufficiently reported by the newspapers. [FIT 1S TRUE that Robert Lincoln said one day, in parting with Thomas L. James and some others, “Good-bye; God bless you all; and d—n a mugwump,” we may suppose that Robert is shrewdly labor- ing for that national nomination. MASK. A HAVE A GENTILE CAICHER AFTER THE FIRST HOCKHEIMERS VS. COHENS. THE SAFETY OF LITTLENESS. HE STORY OF BARRAS makes Napoleon a chump and Josephine a scarlet woman. It may be true; and at the same time a man bad enough to write such a history is not too good to give false evidence. The glory of greatness is not to be despised; but what a lucky man is he who is forgotten as soon as the grass grows over bim. THE LIBERTY OF BOLTS AND BARS. HEY ARE HAVING lots of trouble in Hawaii, but we don’t believe Thurston favors a monarchy with Katulani at the head of it. Still, it is a good idea to find out whether a nation is fitted for freedom before conferring upon it an independence that to a large portion of it is a total stranger. The freedom that exists in the islands now has put about half the population in jail. A CUBAN STRAW. ARTINEZ CAMPOS shows a desire to shoot reporters. It occurs to us that a few insurgents would be more adapted to the sacrifice. The desire to shoot reporters is a confession of weakness. It shows anx- iety against the danger of reliable information. There was never yet a war weakness which did not exhibit itself in a desire to shoot the facts and destroy the newspapers, WHITELAW’S BEARD. WE ALWAYS suspected Whitelaw Reid of wanting to look like a mean pirate, and now he has gone and raised a full beard. But he cannot intimidate, It is a facial ferocity that cannot hide his gentle nature; and Thomas C. Platt and the editor of the Evexing Post will feel as safe when he is again in town as if he were bald-headed and with- out a hair to his intellectual counte- nance. = A BUTCHER INDEED. ARTHUR ORTON has finally confessed that he is not Sir Roger Tichborne. The man’s de- votion to a lie has undergone suf- fering, privation, hard work and hu- miliation sufficiently to make him a hero. After all that he should have died and made no sign. We are deeply disappointed in him, He has ruthlessly destroyed the most magnificent falsehood of the cent- ury, and be hanged to him. GREAT MOUNTAIN, NO MOUSE. WITH THE INCOME-TAX beaten the Democratic party can point, with or without pride, to no record whatever. On the map of their labor and its results there is nothing but extreme emptiness, a yawning and black abyss. Think of the months of weary talk, the conse- quent depression in business, the anger and anxiety, the expectation and the disappointment leading to this impotent conclusion. Is it not palpable that the Democratic party doesn’t know enough to rule this country? KOTIL NINE: INNING. After the first ball pitched. RELIEF FROM SPLEEN. A YOUNG WOMAN of Chicago complains of the family tyranny that won't allow her to say Darn.” It is not a pretty word, but it was as much built for the sex as if it had been so nominated in the bond. It is a compromise between vexation and the stalwart oath, and with all its relieving influence it is as guileless as a row of corn. No woman but has used it, and no man but has laughed at it with howlish glee. Oh let it never die! Without it a woman would be as much bereft as if she had forever lost her hair-pins and had not a button to her name. PAY THE JUROR DECENTLY. SOME NEWSPAPERS and a few judges are asking themselves how to secure intelligent jurors and blaming the average citizen because he doesn’t want to serve as a juror. Why should this citizen be asked to give his time to other people's quarrels for next to nothing? Unless he isa cheap man he cannot afford it. If he must serve he should be paid equally as well as judges and lawyers. And why not professional jurors? ‘They would learn to be competent, and they would be quite as incorrupt- ible as the man who serves on juries now. The laborer is worthy of his hire. Pay this man well for his time and work, whether he is a profes- sional or a victim of the legal wheel. comicbooks.com
