# Analysis of This Judge Magazine Page The page contains several brief satirical items rather than a single large cartoon. The main illustration shows an elevator accident—a man has fallen down an elevator shaft while another man looks on in shock. The text items mock various political and social figures of the era, including references to "the Sultan," "Mr. Platt" (likely a politician), and General Weyler (Spanish military commander in Cuba). One section titled "A Great Financier" suggests the Prince of Wales borrowed millions from a baron—satire about royal debt. "The Crime of Liberty" criticizes General Weyler's handling of the Cuban rebellion as timid. The final section, "Robbing the Grave," appears to reference Democratic politics and Andrew Jackson's influence. Without specific dates visible, the exact historical moment remains unclear, though references suggest the 1890s.

THERE MUST be some ability in the make-up of the prince of Wales. No ordinary man could have borrowed several millions of Baron Hirsch, and persuaded him in a diplomatic way to cancel the debt in his will, Perhaps the baron put this lost money on his list of charities, but with the prince it must have been a matter of genuine business. WHY? CARD-PLAYING was abolished on a New Jersey railroad largely patronized by commuters because a card-table cut a man nearly in two during a destructive collision, About the same time an old locomo- tive on the same road blew up and killed its engineer and fireman, Why, to be wise and consistent, didn’t the company abolish its locomotives ? VERY HIGH TREASON. F THE BOERS had attacked any portion of Great Britain with the design of capturing it and setting up a government of their own, and especially if during the proceedings they had killed several Englishmen, their leaders at least would have been hanged and the damages would have been very large. Now it’s a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways. MR. ISCARIOT IN OUR POLITICS. SEVERAL SILVER MEN have spoken favorably of Judas Iscariot in comparison with several sound-money men. It is not surprising in view of that gentleman's silver transaction a long time ago. He was so radical in behalf of the metal, however, that he sold his soul for it. We feel sure that the silver . man of to-day would stop with the be- r 'trayal of the business interests of his suf- \ . fering country. 14H }) | ELevaToR IN rn yy THE CRIME OF LIBERTY. GENERAL WEYLER was going to wind up the Cuban revolution in six- ty days. He said it himself. They have a very queer article of time down there. however, and he now thinks it may take two years according to their calendar. Meanwhile the murdering is going on, on both sides, and there isn’t humanity or courage enough in all the rest of the world to put a stop to it. There is more or less civilization in existence somewhere, but it is timid and very much. afraid of itself, GREAT HASTE. THE PEOPLE of “Cripple Creek are both active and enterprising. They had two fires in quick succession, and while the destruction was going on they planned to build the town over again, Then, to expedite matters, they blew up a hotel with dynamite, previously overlook- ing the somewhat humane proposition that they ought to notify its guests to get out of it. We never heard of such enter- prise before, and if the victims might be resurrected they would probably empha- size the fact. feel. uncle? By gum! I dunno, Sorter a INTERNATIONAL LAW. HE IMPROPRIETY of congress or the president interfering with what is called British justice in the case of Mrs. Maybrick is a sol- emn thing; but the impropriety of sending an innocent woman to prison for life is both astonishing and sad. If, moreover, it was proper to protest against French injustice in the case of the black ex-representative, and if it is proper to pray for the pardon «f John Hays Hammond by the Transvaal government, if is difficult to see why the proprieties should suffer through justice toa woman far more wronged than they. ROBBING THE GRAVE. ONE PROFESSOR WALTERS of New Jersey claims that he died and was buried in Washington; that he went to heaven, where he aw and got a telegram from Saint Peter; that he is appointed by divine authority to rule over this country, and that he will occupy the presidential chair as soon as Cleveland gets out of it. We look upon this as a bid for the Chicago nomination, which no live man wants.
