# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon depicts three figures around a table labeled "INTERSTATE COMMERCE," with one figure saying "Ms. Fowles (who slipped into the game late, but spent broke early)— 'Gentlemen, I broke but o' six chicken—'" and another responding "'Sit in, Mistah Foollah; sit in, sah. Yo' cillared an monopoly!'" This satirizes late-19th-century monopoly practices and interstate commerce debates. The figures appear to represent different business interests or political actors engaging in what's characterized as an unfair "game." The reference to someone "broke but o' six chicken" and accusations of monopoly suggest commentary on unequal competition and corporate concentration during the Gilded Age—a major political issue of Judge's era. The cartoon critiques how wealthy players dominate economic competition.

MAB TWAIN has made one fortune, and the world will stand by him in his effort to make another. But poverty may be a blessing. He was never brighter than he is to-day.

THEY TELL of a mugwump army somewhere that wants to repudiate its general because he acts as if he were the boss. The smaller offi- cers resent his authority, and the.privates are incensed against him and the smaller officers alike. And when the privates come to be the bosses they mean to quarrel themselves and all the officers to death, THE LITTLE JUGGLER. SENATOR HILL is always looking for opportunities. and one that comes within his reach seldom gets away from him. Likewise he is an artist in the great work of keeping himself before the public But the excise question is not large enough for the state, and it is not potent enough to put this town back into the hands of the partially resurrected Tammany THREE HAPPY GIRLS, THE THREE GIRLS of the president must win their way on their own merits, if they win at all. They are not likely to be nominated to anything solely because of the prominence of their pa. ‘They are thus relieved alike of the conspicuous admiration of the foolish politician and the persistent satire of the newspaper-buzzer who calls the son of a presi- dent the prince. THE WOMAN WHO KILLS. RECORDER GOFF is right in his judgment that murder is murder whether it is done by a woman or aman. The person killed is not the less unfortunate because of the sex of the one who kill and the crime is the more revolting and unnatural when perpetratéd by a woman If sentiment were to rule there would be no suffi- cient punishment for murder. But we hope it will yet transpire that the act of Maria Barberi was sufficiently justifia- ble to save her life. THE DESCENT OF MAN. A MB. FOOTE of Bainbridge, New York, who is now dead, was badly affected by his food. If he ate mutton it made him bleat like a sheep; if beef he bellowed like an ox, and if chicken he scratched for worms His son ate irrel one day and immediately climbed a tree and, falling therefrom, broke his neck. This is degeneracy. We are evoluting the wrong way. Ja- cob Coxey ate of mule and started a paper at Massillon, Ohio, and there are other proofs quite as convincing. OUR GOOD COUSINS. se RLARST THE AMERICANS, anyhow!" is a favorite expres- sion of some portion of the British public.

A CRYING EVIL. * CLERGYMAN of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was pricked by a hat- pin in the hand of a young woman, and died of blood-poisonin The fact has long been patent that young women carry tov many pins in their clothing. Those around the waist are particularly dangerous, and if they do not kill they invariably lacerate. | Why should a woman make an armory of herself? Why should she go around like a live, mean men- ace, threatening death to those by whom she is surrounded ? THE ‘PROPER KIND OF KNEESGAP, A EADY advances the idea that the feminine knee-cap is so adapted to trousers that no|woman who wears that garment will have it bag at the cap. This is plainly proposition for the sexes to change garments at least so far as the leg is concerned, for there is no man living who has hot mourned at the disfigurement of his leg by the garment that, it ap- pears, ought to belong to the other sex. And the world has lived all these years without dreaming of the remedy proposed! It seems sometimes as if the investigators of this end of the century were too smart to live. comicbooks.com
