# "A Noxious Beverage" Cartoon Analysis This cartoon satirizes Spanish colonial administration in Cuba during a period of independence unrest. The central figure appears to be a Spanish official or representative forced to consume a bitter drink—representing Cuba itself as an indigestible "beverage" for Spain. The surrounding figures likely represent various stakeholders: Cuban insurgents, American interests, and Spanish authorities. The caption "A Noxious Beverage" suggests Spain finds Cuba an impossible colonial possession—costly, troublesome, and increasingly unpalatable to maintain. The context references Spain's deteriorating control over Cuba in the 1890s, when independence movements and American interest threatened Spanish colonial power. The cartoon mocks Spain's predicament: Cuba has become unbearable to hold but politically difficult to release, creating an impossible situation for Spanish leadership.

RAMPS in New Jersey recently terrorized a newly-married couple and their guests, locked them up, and then ate the wedding dinnet ; and more. recently burglars entered a summer hotel in Connecticut, drove off the proprietor and his guests, and deliberately blew up a safe and made off with its contents.

Nobody of the few who struggled for the liberty of that abused woman was so persistent or worked so ably. English injustice will now be relieved of her tireless importunity, and grow fat at leisure; but we hope the dead lady will have the privilege of meeting the judge who convicted her over there. THE BROKEN-HEART BUSINESS. HEN A MAN becomes known as a millionaire he looks around for the inevitable suit for breach of promise, and always finds it. The fact that he has a family is no bar to the suit. ‘The afflicted woman may have known of his domestic relations, but she wants salve for her ruptured heart just the same. It is about time that this method of robbery ended. It is no crime to be a millionaire, and that miserable person has been pun- ished enough. THE SPANISH JEREMY. SPAINS NEW WAY to raise the wind is not without inge- nuity. She is impoverished and her tax- payers have been taxed to death and are in revolt against further agony of that kind. It ought to occur to Spain to give up Cuba as a matter of wisdom and fair play; but she prefers suing the United States for damages resulting from filibustering expeditions, and using the money thus raised to carry on the war. Probably the plan won't work, but it is just as interesting for all that. \F THE WORST COMES. oop ET US FIGHT the free- silver delusion, but let us not despair of the republic,” says a Democratic newspaper. Well, if repudiation prevails; if the federal courts are to be shorn of their au- thority; if there is another business panic and there is no work for the worker, it will be pretty bad. It will be so bad that thousands will be driven to despair and they can't “help themselves, But the succeed- ing national election—on the whole there will be another national elec- tion undoubtedly ? phate A MISTAKEN VIEW.

She doesn’t deal in figures—she is just sure. And the reason is because. THE BABES of Kansas, according to Mrs. Lease, have given up crying for the moon and are yelling for free silver. Too bad.

Still, they are willing to compromise. because it would be quite impossible for every man to be his own ticket. resemble the confederates of thirty years ago. They feel hurt because of real or imaginary injustice on the part of the general government, because Wall street has money and they haven't, and because the north and east seem to be more pros- perous than they are. They began with a whine and continue with a roar. They don’t like the union. They want, if necessary to a change, to get away from it. It is the old secession idea, and what, therefore, do they care for national credit and national honor? They need new eyes and medicine for dyspepsia MONEY AND HONOR. (CHANGES IN THE VALUE of money and in the conditions attenb- ing debt naturally come with the lapse of time. The borrower takes the risk, for otherwise the lender refuses to lend. The latter puts out his money as an investment, and assumes that the favor is worth its cost. That is unavoidable in business transactions. They had a way in the southern states after the war of scaling down their debts, and finally they gave it the prettier name of readjustment. Public opinion outside of the debtors called it robbery, and finally it became very generally known as repudiation, The United States cannot afford such scallawagging as that. . | comicbooks.com ,
