# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains editorial commentary and one cartoon titled "Everything to Gain." The main cartoon depicts two figures in what appears to be a kitchen or domestic space, with text referencing "Dragon Kitchen" and dialogue about bicycles and acquiring things. The editorial columns discuss contemporary political matters: criticisms of various politicians (references to Governor Morton, President Eliot of Harvard, and Thomas C. Platt as a potential presidential candidate), commentary on the Monroe Doctrine's application to South Africa, and satirical jabs at political figures' ambitions and competence. The cartoon and text together mock political overreach and the endless pursuit of power and profit among public figures. Without clearer identification of the specific figures depicted in the cartoon, precise interpretation of that particular satire remains uncertain.

TWO INDIANS of Oklahoma territory tender their services to the pres- ident in the arduous work of whipping Great Britain, and suggest that, to begin with; he send them a couple of blankets. Probably five dollars would make them so patriotic that they would go over and whip Canada; and yet people say these savages cannot be civilized. THAT ABSURD RAIMENT. GHOST in bloomers has appeared in San Francisco. Thus they are as progressive in the other world as we are in this. More so, indeed ; for the garment so called must certainly be more appropriate to the dead than the living. You get only fleeting glances of the garments of the de- ” parted, and the less you see of the bloomer the better it looks. THE NEED OF SUCCESS. OVERNOR MORTON bas been honored sufficiently by his state and the country. Is it not selfish in him to stand in the way of abler and younger men who have done better service for their panty and who command an enthusiastic support which it is not in his power to inspire? Fair play, governor! Give a few thoughts to your party and your country, THE FORAKER FIREWORKS. R. FORAKER never knows when he has enough. It is a rather prevalent weakness of human nature, but he has it worse than any- body else. There is something ridiculous in the proposition that, having been made senator, he wants to shove McKinley aside and be the next president; but there is no claim for official honor that he doesn’t cherish as his very own. A DISGRACEFUL PEACE. A TAX of seventy per cent. on the net profits of every newspaper in case of war is proposed by London Truth. The proposition is the result of a wrong theory as to the management and purpose of war. There must be some authority to do the suggesting and the ordering, and if it is killed or impover- ished it can’t get along at all. Under such a method as that of the London paper we should have no war at all, and then what would become of us? V's gwine toe acquire de Dat's all right, honey. Mos’ enny PLATT FOR PRESIDENT. HE. PLAN is, to speak plainly, to make Thomas C. Platt president of the United States. Of course, Mr. Platt could not get the nomina- tion, and if nominated he couldn't be elected; but as Mr. Morton's secre- tary of the treasury he would have most of the honor and all of the hard work. We need not, therefore, consider Mr. Morton's age. really is, whether he is old enough. The question THE AMAZING HORROR. ‘+PJON'T MEDDLE with my murdering,” says the Turk to the Red Cross and to the world, “I have the privilege of assassination, and I will outrage and starve women within my own borders as much as I choose. Your humanity and your generosity are offensive and you must keep off. 1am going to exterminate the dogs of Christians and you must let me alone.” All the Christian world outside of the Turkish dominions bow to this decree. There is only one exception—the woman Clara Barton. THESE CONTINENTS. SOME ONE said of a stingy agriculturist, “If he had the whole world for a farm he wouldn't be satisfied without a patch outside to plant potatoes in.” We hope the majority of this congress are not going to carry the Monroe doctrine as far as that. It might be well to do so through another pan-continental congress, according to the Blaine idea; but this government must bear in mind the sovereignty of its southern neighbors as well as its own. Let them have a hand in the game and let them have their share of a grave responsibility. comicbooks.com
