# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several brief political commentary items rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration shows a crowded scene labeled "FREE LUNCH SATURDAY NIGHT," depicting what appears to be a charitable or political gathering. The text items reference contemporary issues: Cuban independence ("The Rights of Cuba"), British military actions in China during the Boxer Rebellion era ("Honor to the British"), and American missionary involvement abroad ("China and the Missionaries"). There are also domestic jabs at political figures like Ben Tillman and references to urban corruption. The overall tone reflects Judge's late-19th century satirical stance on American foreign policy, imperialism, and domestic political hypocrisy. Without specific dateline information visible, the precise year and some contextual details remain unclear, though the references suggest the 1900-1901 period.

THE STAR as a Democratic emblem is ‘one of the Texas kind. Is WASHINGTON big enough to hold the voice of Brother Talmage? cee EN TILLMAN is exactly fitted to the meanness of South Carolina, God help them both! UCCESS THIS YEAR means lots of things with regard to the national trau- ble next year. HIS WORLD is too small to hold the governments of Turkey and China as they now exist. ed E HAVE no doubt that Finnerty could take England with his mouth tied behind his back. see THE WORST THING about home rule is that when the man is drunk with his per- sonal liberty he beats his wife. OME PERSONS think General Miles might have been called a West Pointer when he was fighting Indians, eee WE FEEL SURE that John Bull will some day learn to play some kind of game that somebody else can’t beat him at. THE DAUGHTERS of Dunraven do not want to be conspicuous. All they want is to be allowed to sob themselves to sleep. cee QNE ACCOUNT says that Peary was seasick and another that he couldn't find his provender. Now these things do not go together. SMALL ROBBERY is punished everywhere; but Spain-robs Cuba of millions every year, and the world forgives the crime because brute force long ago made it seem respectable. AIL HAMILTON says that at one time, when her friends thought her dead, she talked with some of her relatives who had passed over. We are glad, anyhow, that they let her be passed back again. THE TITLES of the Marlboroughs haven't warped their most excellent judgment; and if the young duke puts himself in his wife's hands, after the manner of ‘Randy Churchill, he may some day be a great man. For, mind you! American blood will tell. A THEATRICAL NOTE. A one-night stand, crowded house. and a comedian awaiting an opening and eager to fill one. HE KEEPS THE REINS. Sometiot ES MR. HILL assumes to be beaten by the other bosses on minor issues, that he may conciliate the kicking brethren and have it - appear that, after all, his supreme power is a farce; but he never effaces himself, as the World advises—never—not for two minutes. THE COMING FICTION. HE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL will not create lovable characters for the mere purpose of first disgracing and then killing them, and it will not end with a holocaust, but a wedding or two, as the great novels of the past had a habit of doing. People are tired of the obituary busi- ness, however artistic it may be. MAN AS A TIGHT-LACER, ‘THE, BELT as worn by men has brought about too much tight-lacing. This has been the special privilege of the other sex, and its adoption by men is further evidence of the deterioration of that kind of person. Shall we hear presently that man, proud man, has got himself into a corset and thinks favorably of the graceless sun-bonnet? A NEW BROOK FARM. R. MARY WALKER is to have an exclusive female colony, which shall do farm-work and wear bloomers for life. There ought to be some commutation for good behavior, but she is as inflexible against it as a Jacksonian backbone. We believe, however, that if the male element were to be sufficiently admitted to give every woman a husband the enter- prise might be successful. THE RIGHTS OF CUBA. THE CUBANS have won their liberty more thoroughly than we won ours, They have fought three times as long and suffered quite as much. The injustice of their slavery is harder to bear at this day, when liberty is the rule, than was ours a hundred years ago. Humanity speaks for them, Proximity de- mands our recognition of their belligerent rights. We have abolished the slavery of black men. Let us help to abolish the slav- ery of white ones. CHINA AND THE MISSIONARIES, D8. JUSTIN D. FULTON has stopped his war on the Roman church long enough to insist that England and the United States shall have jurisdiction on every foot of Chinese territory, and that the local authori- ties shall, in brief, lose their heads whenever a'missionary loses his. That seems just—for us; but it’s a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways, and what should we do if the Chinese should insist that their people in America must be protected in the same way ? HONOR TO THE BRITISH. THE ENGLISH LED in bringing humili- ation to the Chinese government and retribution to the Chinese murderers of mis- sionaries. Let them lead in the dismember- ment of the Turkish government for the sake of the surviving Armenians. Icis their right no less than their duty; and the larger portion of the civil- ized world will stand at their back, no matter what complications may arise from that event. They may not know how to sport, but they know how to fight. : NEXT YEAR. THE FACT that the bosses do not favor Harrison may turn out to be so much in his favor, though we admit that it has been a fairly good year for bosses. Those gentlemen may clash in convention and there may be an emergency that will help the ex-president—if not Mr. Allison, or the favorite dark animal, Mr. Depew. With the tariff settled Brother McKinley is slightly handicapped; and as for Brackett Reed, his silver utterances, though brief, were unfortunate, On the whole, you can’t tell until you find out. TOO SOON, TOO SOON! A FEW MONTHS AGO this city and the entire country were shocked at the revelations of corruption in the ruling party in this city. There was no business, legitimate or otherwise, that was not blackmailed in behalf of Tammany hall; and the blackmailing of the fast woman and the whisky business made many a Tammany leader rich. Are we to go back to the rule of the robbers and the control of the vicious? Not this year, surely! Not before the convicted scoundrels are a year out of work or a year in the penitentiary. comicbooks.com
