# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several short editorial columns rather than a prominent political cartoon. The central illustration depicts a scene of apparent poverty or hardship—possibly related to the article "Perceptible Evidence" about someone's experience with destitution. The editorials mock various political and social figures: references to William McKinley, Abraham Lincoln, and a priest writing articles for newspapers. One section criticizes barroom violence at a sporting event in Juarez, Mexico, controlled by a governor opposed to prize-fighting. Other brief items satirize electoral politics, Republican leadership, and international affairs (Cuba's new Spanish governor and slavery). The tone is generally conservative, mocking progressive reforms and praising Republican stability. Without identifying specific publication dates or clearer context, precise dating of references remains uncertain.

Why, it was either that or nothing. eee 5 LOOK as if the hour and William McKinley were going to CURES FOR CANCE and consumption hav- ing been found, let us now have a cure for death, MBs: Lt having en- tered the ministry, it may be said that the church suffers some loss to the gain of the politics of Kansas. THE NEW WOMAN re- marks, * Let me wear the bloomer costume and I care not who has a patent on it” —for the patentee is a man. KOSCIUSKO. like Lincoln, was born on the twelfth of February. It will be re- called that freedom shrieked at the moment of his demise. IS LUCKY for this country that the Vander- bis and Astors are not poli- ticians. If they were Gov- ernor Morton would have opponents worthy of his coin. T Zz, PERCEPTIBL! WE POINT with pride to the significant fact that the opposing Repub- lican leaders of this city frequently dine together and do not break any dishes. THE SEVERAL war scares did good. Having reconsidered matters, all the governments are in frantic haste to fall on each other's necks and boil over with regretful tears, JOSEPH PULITZER has the right idea and his Iorid is entitled to its great victory. This government can trust the people at its back whether it calls for blood or money. ‘SV HO WOULD NOT die for England?” asks Alfred Austin in a long poem. ‘The question is too brutally practical. Putting it in that blunt way, the laureate won't get a single reply. ‘THE DISSIPATION of Noah at the period of the ark was not destruc- tive, for he lived three hundred and fifty years after that event. The attention of the reformers is firmly directed to that suggestive fact. I" WAS REPORTED that Nansen had discovered the north pole, and immediately the hair of Joseph Chamberlain erected itself and Joseph inquired with great earnestness, “ Did he find any of our gold there?” TURN ABOUT. ‘THE POPE is said to have written to an Italian priest, “ Write articles for the newspapers. People read them who never go to hear a ser- mon preached.” This is both wisdom and truth, We only hope its effect will not be too productive. The time must never come when the Sunday newspaper will insist on the abolishment of the pulpit. THE LINCOLN-REED DISCOVERY. HE ALLEGED “conspicuous resemblance " between Thomas B. Reed and Abraham Lincoln appeals pathetically to the poetic imagination. It would not exist unless one insisted on it,and then it would need the aid of several of the new lights, And again, we regret to say that while Mr. Lincoln forged to the front it looks now as if Brother Reed were forging rapidly to the rear. SOME DANGER. WHEN MR. QUAY is asked if he is seriously a candidate for the nomination for president he laughs. We consider that the wisest reply he could make. It is a thing for amusement; and that is not neces- sarily to say that it is not likewise a matter for speculation and trouble. For the powers behind the throne may presently become more conspicuous than the throne itself. THE ETHICS OF BARBARISM. FOUR BULLS jabbed full of holes; four horses killed; two horses torn by bulls’ horns; two picadors badly hurt—these are a few of the de- tails of a Sunday sporting event at Juarez, Mexico, presided over by the local governor, who is totally opposed to prize-fights be- tween men. Now wouldn't it be reasonable to call the men brutes and let them jab cach other full of holes too? THE NEXT WAR? Galt HAMILTON in a long article says fight- ing was ordained in the gar- den of Eden and that itis the instrument of progress. The facts seem to be on the side of the lady, and the conclu- sions may be a military ne- cessity. And in behalf of progress we beg to inform Gail Hamilton that the ed- itor of the Brooklyn Eagle calls her “a belligerent old woman "—those are his very words, FAIR PLAY FOR MORTON. TWELVE VOTES for Morton were found in a canvass of the leading Republicans of Buffalo on the presidential question by the Commercial of that town, while McKinley had one hundred and twenty-one. The persons voting were not office-holders or office-seekers. We must remind the Commercéal that had men of those classes been included there would have been three or four more for Mr. Platt’s man. E EVIDENCE, Pat (relating his experience to Mike)—"* Moike, whin Oi fell it tuk th’ intoire brith out av me.” Mixy—** Well, yez hov nothin’ marn over, fer ‘tis back wid yez agin shtronger than iver.” TYRANNY IN CUBA. THE NEW Spanish butcher in Cuba proclaims slavery for every non- combatant, with the alternative of being shot for sneezing without permission. The insurgents would be equally without their liberty if he could catch them; so that they are obliged to fight and will necessarily fight hard. It will be blood for blood for some time to come, and the Cubans in the field are better off than those out of it. MR. NYE. BILL NYE filled the world with laughter while he lived, and in dying he fills it with regret. Life is short, and fun and pathos tread on each other's heels. A gentle, honest, patient, sincere man, his heart went with his hand and his face showed a sensi ss against the crueity and mishap of life as keen as if it were his mission to respect and sympathize with grief as well as laughter. His whimsical, quaint humor will live along with the wit and the royal fun of his predecessors who may be counted on the fingers of one hand; and no man who knew him will recall his personality and his utterances without a curious but appropriate min gling of smiles and tears. comicbooks.com
