# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon titled "SHE SMILED" depicts two figures in conversation, likely satirizing social commentary of the era. Without clearer identifying marks, I cannot definitively name the specific individuals portrayed. The page's text sections are short opinion pieces on various social and political topics: women's behavior at social events, local temperance laws, religious intolerance (referencing Seventh-day Adventists), British literary rivals, European politics under Dr. Depew, temperance funding, and colonial affairs in Cuba and Spain. The overall tone is characteristic of Judge's satirical approach to contemporary American social issues, politics, and manners. However, the specific identities of figures and exact events referenced remain unclear from the image and OCR text alone without additional historical context.

THE FRENCH and the English of Canada are so bitter against each other that something serious is inevitable. Dear children, look over here and see how united and happy we have been—h'm!—for the last thirty years. SURELY AN IMPROVEMENT. ATA WHEELMEN'S BALL in Chicago several women danced in bloomers and knickerbockers, Unfortunately we have no details as to the remainder of their costumes; but it is tolerably certain that it was more proper than the full dress which has been in vogue so long, for otherwise the women would have looked ridiculous. LET THE PEOPLE RULE, HE PEOPLE must tule themselves, as to temperance and in every respect. That is democratic and appropriate to our system of gov- ernment. Different situations exist in different localities, and a proper law for one is not a proper law for all. Local option as to the temperance question is the only just and possible compromise of a matter that is agi- tated too much, THE CRIME OF INTOLERANCE. IGHT MEN, seventh-day adventists, are supposed to be serving in the chain-gang of the county jail at Dayton, Tennessee, for the crime of working on Sunday. We should think there would be a hole in Tennessee big enough to drop Dayton county into the bowels of the earth; and yet when the cranks have full possession of this town they will go right to work to revive the whipping-post and burn witches. BAD MEN. THE BRITISH BOOR kicks his rival when he is down, and the British voter throws stones at the Brit- ish candidate and the women who at- tend him, We have ruffians here, but they are tender snd compassionate in comparison with the stalwart Briton who hates gentleness and decency. There are many good men and women in Great Britain; but we should think they would want to move away. THE WORLD HIS MUTTON. DB DEPEW is now controlling the politics of Europe and America. His last five minutes here were given up to directions, whispered to a news- paper reporter, regarding the manage- ment of the United States; and in three minutes after landing he mapped out governmental programmes for Eng- land, Germany, France, Austria and all the inlying and outlying territory. Yet he says he goes abroad for rest. that there are no mosquitoes on them. Mx.

Thus we see again the advantage of a good education. OVEREIGN, who would have his followers boycott national-bank bills. can protect his intellect better if he will wear his hat on his shins. WESTERN PAPER says this world is a hollow mockery and a bitter pill. Well, if the pill is as empty as that it won't hurt anybody to take it in. MBs: LEAS the world’s posed that kind. peaks with sobs of the dark and tear-stained curtains of history. It will be remembered that we have always op- WOMAN she is alw: 's she has not looked in a mrror for years, and therefore vs satisfied with herself and has added years to her life. Ah! but the years must be a great trouble to her. A YOUNG WOMAN of Montana applied to a loca court for permis- sion to kill her recreant lover. That was obviously the right thing to do; but, the court being of the mean male kind, the application was coldly refused. Is there not a wailing necessity for women judges? te minnit yo’ comed intoe de doah. Whar wuz de fiah?” M&s STANFORD has created a great outcry among temperance people by her proposition to donate the money she receives for one million gallons of brandy to the continuance of the Stanford university. She has the brandy, Must she destroy it? That might impoverish her to such an-extent that the university would go down, And that would be more unfortunate than the proper distribution of the brandy. THE HIGHER ROBBERY. SPAIN ROBS CUBA of about twenty-five million dollars a year. She uses that money for the good of Spaniards and the impoverishment” of Cubans. It takes a great deal of respect for international law and a great indifference to justice and fair play to let such heartless robbery go on; but if other governments were to interfere they might quarrel them- selves to death and leave the Cubans to their miserable slavery. LOGIC AND LAW. MBS: LIVERMORE says that for the same cause she would kill a man as Maria Barberi did. She urges, moreover, that the girl was not tried by a jury of her peers—the jury should have been composed of matrons. Whatever may be said of the first proposition, the other has good points. Another good point brought out by the case is that the exe- cutioner, who premeditates és murder, ought to be held for his crime. There is ingenuity as well as earnestness here. Logic will teach us pres ently that the greatest crime is the enforcement of any enactment what- ever. comicbooks.com
