# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The central cartoon, "Aftermath; or, A Hen's Hallucination," depicts a hen experiencing a disturbing dream after Christmas dinner. The image shows the hen surrounded by anthropomorphic figures (appearing to be diners or ghosts) in a nightmarish scene, likely satirizing post-holiday excess and indigestion. The surrounding text columns cover various political and social topics typical of Judge's editorial voice: debates about bicycles, diplomatic disputes, electoral reform, and military uniform standards. One piece critiques the "prohibition party" and another discusses Venezuelan political troubles. The overall tone reflects turn-of-century American concerns: labor reform, political partisanship, and technological changes (bicycles). The layout mixes light humor with serious social commentary characteristic of Judge's satirical approach.

THE DESIGNER of Valkyrie the last says he gained no new wrinkles from American yachts. Well, if he wants wrinkles why doesn’t he go to Dunraven and John Bull?

And the letters between the Sherman brothers which it recalls emphasize the fact that neither ever wrote a line which, dying, he would wish to blot. Of what two. other men who lived so long and did so much in public life can that be said? THE DIPLOMATIC ARENA. [8 THEIR closing argument Mr. Corbett gets in a fine upper-cut and the other gentleman a couple of swingers; but the only in-fighting thus far has been such as is possible at a distance of thirty-seven miles one combatant from the other. It has been a battle by telegraph. We had hoped for one by short-distance telephone. THE ORTHODOX WHEEL. DR«LYMAN ABBOTT replied rather impatiently to a request for his opinion of the bicycle and the very next day he was thrown from his horse and had his collar-bone broken. Thus orthodoxy as to methods of riding is vindicated, and retribution calls for its own, Men speak disre- spectfully of the bicycle on peril of their bones. A MUGWUMP REMEDY. SeTAKE THE BALLOT from the majority” is South Carolina's method of mugwumping. It is in- convenient to have the majority rule, and besides the fact that it is the majority is proof positive that it isn't fit.to rule. Doubtless there are northern mugwumps who would be glad to adopt this most potent remedy for the ills that alw: afflict them. THE PROFESSIONAL REFORMERS. Miss WILLARD wants to have the prohibition party known hereafter as the home- protection party. The objectionable word ought to be killed, but it would be far better to kill the party to begin with. It has always been in har- mony and illicit collusion with the enemies of temperance, its main purpose: being revenge on the great organization which in practice and principle was naturally its friend and ally. A QUESTION OF THIS PERIOD. THE BEGINNING of the Venezuela trouble is very far off. During its long discussion the British are putting in their best work and the rights and wrongs of the existing situation are quite forgotten. Two agri- culturists discussed the proper method of planting potatoes, and before they got through their neighbors had harvested their crops. Must we get back to the creation to learn whether two and two are four? OUR ARISTOCRATIC WORKMEN. AX ORATOR recently spoke with emphasis of the uniform of a street- cleaner as a badge of servility. The principle follows in the case-of the soldier. The cook should be ashamed of his white hat and the driver of his livery. Why ashamed? Because they proclaim their method of earning a living. Thirty-years since, when railroad men were maile to wear a uniform, many were indignant and many patrons of railroads sym- pathized with them. How foolish.that seems now! : NO PARTISANS NO CHANGE. WE MUST:COMMEND the Troy Press for the ability with which it advocates the sentimental proposition to put our ex-presidents in senatorial boxes for exhibition as past grand and noble pets; but why should it object to partisans as presidents? Has the successful:party in a national campaign anything to be ashamed of? Is the president of its choice liable to be ashamed of the votes which elected him? How high is the altitude which the Press mentions as “above the plane of partisan politics”? What are parties for, and why is the reigning partisanship better than that which the people have voted in? comicbooks.com
