# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains multiple short editorial commentaries rather than a single cartoon. The visible illustration shows two figures in a small boat, seemingly fishing—likely accompanying the "Avarice and Fishing" piece criticizing how Americans allegedly exploit Canadian fishing grounds by bribing officials. Other brief items critique various public figures and policies: a clergyman's fatalistic prayer about crop destruction; William Whitney's political ambitions; a women's temperance society in Danbury; and civil service reform debates. The tone is characteristic of Judge's satirical approach—mocking hypocrisy, corruption, and absurd arguments through short, sharp commentary. Without clearer dates or labels on most items, the specific individuals referenced (except noted names like Gresham, Morris, and Sherman) remain uncertain, though they appear to address 1880s-era American political and social controversies.

WE FIND, moreover, that as a host Mr. Depew is more than that in himself. WE SHALL NOT fully under- stand the game of life until Gabriel plays his trump. AS LONG as South Carolina ex- ists the advocates of peace are fighting for a total impossibility. eee G!8 LEWIS MORRIS has the poetic impression that Victoria grows younger as she grows older. EMILY FAITHFULL worked hard for her sex, and may be said to have ‘been Emily Faithfull unto death. THE SIN OF A BOUNTIFUL .PROVIDENCE. CLERGYMAN in Bridgeport, Connecticut, thanked heaven that the apple-blossoms had been destroyed, because that would insure a total absence of apple-jack. Why doesn’t he pray for the destruction of hops and all kinds of grain? Logically he ought to pray for the death of all the farmers and for general starvation. And if he has a mole on his face why shouldn't he destroy himself? WILLIAM AS A JINGO. R. WHITNEY his great blood - boiling act over the Spanish trouble was foolishness. It would be far better for him if he hadn't recalled it. A man who perpetrates and acknowledges such childishness would never do for president. He might be foolish when it would be dangerous’ and humiliating to several millions besides himself. Why didn’t he lay it to the reporters and drop the subject? DANBURY’S FOUR HUNDRED. FOUR HUNDRED young women of Danbury, Connecticut, have formed a society and pledged themselves not to marry any young man who drinks. ‘There is power for good in this society; and when one reflects that the women of Danbury greatly outnumber the men its courage seems sublime. And really we recall one of many similar societies that lasted fully ten minutes before it quarreled itself to death. MR. GRESHAM AS AN AMERICAN. WHEN ONE REFLECTS on the charge of un-Ameticanism rather justly presented against Mr, Gresham, it is pathetic to remember that he carried a wound received in battle in defense of the flag, and one that gave him pain throughout a large portion of the last half of life, He may not have been the premier that many would have admired, but he was a brave soldier and he suffered for the flag more than many of his patriotic critics. AVARICE AND FISHING. HE CANADIANS mak American five dollars for the privilege of fishing within their boundaries. The American takes with him a good deal of money that he doesn’t bring back; so that they are the parties most benefited by his desire for sport. Meanness gen- erally cheats itself. And yet about half the fishing-grounds of the states are owned by private parties, and the average fisherman can’t fish in mistake in charging an ‘THE QUESTION as to whether bicycles should be ridden on Sunday generally resolves itself into them for love or money. NO MUGWUMP REFORM the question whether the disputant is able to buy the wheel. ME. HEWITT is not wise in his remark that the Democratic party needs a new birth. What it needs is a new funeral, and it ought to have it every three months. OUBTLESS Sir Henry Irving will greatly improve in his acting now ; but it is a mean thing that Ellen Terry must go through life without a ribbon or a rag to her majestic existence. Jones?” Jones —"* Yep. they're about of an age. KATE SANBORN ina long article in the Home Journal declares that women are witty. The argument used is because, and besides she thinks so, Still, the article would be good but for the fact that it omits the brevity. BARBERS in this state, with the exception of those of New York and Saratoga, must close their shops on Sunday. Thus the male resi- dents of a large portion of the state must tarry in Jericho twenty-four hours every week. A SPANIARD tried to kill the captain-general of Madrid, and forty- eight hours thereafter he was tried and shot to death. We should like to compliment the memory of the gentleman; but, alas! the govertt- ment made the best job of it. E MUST CALL attention to the fact that John Sherman is fre- quently called the yrand oll man, and that the financial question will be a main feature of the next national campaign. We do this in be- half of William McKinley and some others. And in case Mr, Sherman should have a financial controversy with Senator Hill there would be dan- ger tor several persons besides Mr. Hill. A NEW VERSION. Brown (to the newly-married)—" Strack the mother-in-law snag yet, You see she’s my wife's step-mother, handsome, and Jee whiz! 1 dasn’t even look cross eyed at her.” AND talks plainly with regard to civil-service re- form. He wants it understood that his office- holders must hold his views or say nothing; and this un- derstanding must be had by his cabinet as well as his lesser office- holders. His argument, in brief, is the very old one that a government must be for the government as a matter of safety and common sense; and if that idea is generally adopted what becomes of the first and last principle of civil-service reform? HERE, Me: CLEV THE WORST-DRESSED MAN. ULIAN RALPH doesn’t pride himself on his ill-fitting clothes—we judge the clothes from a recent picture of Mr. Ralph in that kind of garment—but he probably values the time he saves in looking for a good tailor. That he has thought of the matter is evident, for he recently men- tioned one of the Rothschilds as a man whose brain was apparently agitated with the fear that he wasn’t well dressed. And we beg him to consider the matter. What if that picture should become historical, like William Evarts’s hat? MR. HOWELLS AND THE BOHEMIANS. MB: HOWELLS is always interesting, and especially so in his persona, recollections and his humorous and philosophical essays; and it has probably occurred to a good many that he writes sharp, crisp English, with never a superfluous line or word. His candor is caustic as well as kindly, too; and Henry Clapp of the Saturday Press, were he living. would find that he has a long memory and would promptly reach the con- clusion that dignified severity cuts closer than the small blade of wit and the brief flash of cynicism, comicbooks.com
