# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon labeled "DIFFICULT FOR HIM" depicts a figure struggling under an enormous burden of objects labeled with social issues. Based on the accompanying text snippet mentioning "I am very anxious to avoid trouble while out here," this appears to satirize political or administrative difficulty managing multiple competing demands or crises simultaneously. The page contains several short editorial commentary pieces critiquing various contemporary issues: civil-service reform, labor unions, women's rights, and colonial administration. One section titled "ATTACKS ON WOMEN" addresses criticism of women's independence and their expanding social roles. Without clearer identification of specific figures or dates visible in the image, I cannot definitively name the cartoon's subject, but the satire targets institutional leadership struggling with modern social change.

Judge are thought by some to be a newer and better article than those claimed by Annie Besant. THE EDITOR of the Seneca Falls Ke- vetlle says the Democratic party i now on its good behavior. Surprising in- deed! Where did it get it? THE PRETTY THINGS! G WASHINGTON ALDRIDGE, superintendent of the public works * of this state, believes in civil-service reform provided the enact- ments to that end are never enforced. And he is right The enactments are pretty to look at, and ought to be printed on large cards in illuminated ink; but practically they are of about as much use as an extra tail toa small dog. OUR SOCIETY RAPIDITY. MBS: JOHN SHERWOOD is wrong. New York society is not rapid. It is merely unconventional. It is true that this kind of society in- dulges in frequent divorces; but let us reflect that this frequency makes the divorce conventional—so that matters are balanced to the satisfaction of the propricties. Then again, the divorces are the best of their kind, and are generally quickly followed by the conventional remarriage. THE BOSSES OF LABOR. Gome UNIONS of workingmen have reached the conclusion that the walking delegate is a boss rather than the servant he ought to be, and that he must be shorn of his power. It takes such a long time to tind cout these things that are self-evident! That man is no more a boss to-day than he has been for ten years. We don’t know who is to succeed him, but it is pretty certain that no member of a union is going to boss himself. SAUCE FOR BOTH SEXES, A MARYLAND MAN sued a woman for breach of promise, claim- ing damages to the amount of five thousand dollars. The only defense of the woman was that she had changed her mind, and the presiding judge held that it was good Thus there is more progress for the new woman, her weakness of determination being her best de- fense; but the melancholy fact is legally established that the breaching lover has a right to change his mind too. THE OLD BANNER. THAT FLAG is one hundred and eighteen years Old. Its dignity and beauty grow as the years go on, It is too respectable to be flung to any breeze that runs across a cheap country, with the intention of announcing ownership or protection, and it doesn’t need to go far into the Pacific for the benefit of a mixed population not a third of whom know how to read or how to vote. It has reached a fine old age without any bad habits, and let us keep it clean, A LARGER CELEBRATION. OME DAY CUBA will have an inde- pendence day of her own. It ought to come this year. The same to Canada, and hers ought to be simultancous with ours, We do not need either of those countries. We have enough land and DIFFICULT FOR HIM. ‘TenperrooT—"T am very anxious to avoid trouble while out here. What is the best thing to do in order to keep out of quarrels?” Native—" Look so all-fired quarrelsome that everybody will be afraid of you.” HE EAGLE BIRD hasn't the harsh, discordant scream that he had when he was younger, but his quiet utterances are just as firm and win more genuine respect. Water without attaching those just outside the breastworks, But if Cuba and Can- ada ever want to annex us they will not be give any kind of cold shoulder by any kind of government that happens to be in existence at that auspicious period. HE MAN in this city who was fined one hundred dollars for attempted suicide will find it cheaper and more respectable to make a clean job of it next time. ‘THE EMPEROR of China murders sleep by rising at four every morn- ing. Is it any wonder, with that example before them, that the Chi- nese are barbarians? WE CANNOT believe that Mayor Strong “cussed” Platt. It is true that he said “Cuss Platt," but it was merely a gentle suggestion that somebody else attend to the matter. THEY SAY that mosquitoes can be destroyed by pouring Kerosene on the stagnant pools and ponds in which they breed. We haven't been so pleased since the discovery that the moon was made of green cheese. T MUST be exasperating to the next king of England to be scolded by telegraph by his mother for not properly observing certain religious anniversaries. But he might easily be more unlucky. What, for instance, might become of him if the princess’ of Wales were to scold him, with all the particulars of various objectionable events, in the same way? . FAIR PLAY FOR ALL. CS THE FOURTH the universal woman must declare her independ~ ence, whether she can prove it or not. It is earnestly to be hoped that the domestic establishment will be preserved, but it is equally true that the woman who can do better things than sew on buttons and wash dishes has a right to the gratification of her ambition. It is honorable enough for men to cobble shoes, but there are men who can make more money at a better kind of work, Let both sexes have fair play and the home will be the better for it. . ATTACKS ON WOMEN. ISHOPS DOANE of Albany and Coxe of Buffalo cry out in anguish against the mannishness of woman and predict a social revolution, in case she goes into politics and bloomers, that will bring blood to every hearth-stone. After that revolution, they continue, with a slight recovery of serenity; we shall go back to government by men, and then things will be all right again. The contempt of these gentlemen for the intelligence of women is regarded by the modern woman as more or less insulting, and it is accepted by her with so little patience that eventually it may hurt the church. Has it ever occurred to the good bishops that the sex are the life of that institution, and that the woman of to-day knows more and has a right to more independence than the She of the period of Paul?
