# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains political commentary and brief satirical items rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration depicts soldiers having a picnic, accompanying text about General Miles studying "the arts of peace." Key items reference: - **Mark Twain** advertising his health (satirizing celebrity endorsements) - **New York legislature sessions** (mocking political inaction) - **A lynching in Urbana, Ohio** (criticizing official failure to prevent mob violence) - **Joseph Jefferson** (an actor, joke unclear without more context) - **Speaker Reed** (likely Thomas Reed, House Speaker, threatened with assassination) - **The Shah of Persia** reducing his harem (satirizing foreign politics) The page's overall tone critiques governmental incompetence, social violence, and political corruption of the era (appears to be 1890s-early 1900s based on references and style).

A SAD TRUTH. E HAD intended to say something cunning about a recent earth- quake out west; but a disturbance nearer home has obliged us to make a cellar and some preparations to crawl into it, Earthquakes re- semble sicknesses; they are never funny unless they occur to somebody else, KILLING WITH NAUSEA. oe LET IT be demonstrated,” says a Spanish editor, “ that the Spanish people despise the jingoes of the United States and know how to spit in their faces one hundred times.” It seems strange that this kind of warfare hasn't been demonstrated in Cuba; though it must be admitted that General Weyler has come as near to it as possible. PERILS OF THE TOILERS. SOME WORKMEN in Buffalo have struck against a rule requiring them to wash their faces at twelve o'clock each day. This is not a land of liberty if men cannot wear an inch of dirt on their faces if they so choose. Let this tyranny go on and the struggling masses will presently be obliged by the beast of capital to change their shirts and clean their finger-nails after the delivery of every ton of coal. NO SUCH MIRACLE. ARTS OF THIS GOVERNMENT have had the idea, with Mr. Brice the Chicago alchemist, that lead can be transmuted into gold, and have spent much money on it without any success. Another Mr. Brice has succeeded in transmuting Ohio and New York into each other and back again; but the treasury department at Washington ought to be managed by men who are not only honest, but who are possessed of some moiety of common sense. A SOLDIERS’ PICNIC, N LUNCHING with Constantine recently our General Miles show- ed a disposition to study and en- courage the arts of peace. And it must have been a quiet lunch- con; for if the general, agitated by the pangs of hunger, had bitten sav- agely into a soothing sandwich, the serown prince would have inconti- nently run away. For, theoretically and practically, his highness is the blastedest. peace man that ever got into uniform to make himself pretty and please the girls.

It SEEMS UNJUST to charge the president with the epidemics. that exist in various places through- out the country. There, too, is the man who, having lost his mill by fire, immediately tore down some last-election placards speaking of McKinley as the advance agent of prosperity.. It ought to occur to the growlers, however much reason they have to growl, that there stand between the president and the people an overruling Providence and the senate of the United States. THE CONWAY ROADS TO PEACE, MONCURE D. CONWAY calls our:national senate a-rotten-borough body and says it ought to be abolished. This is because it rejected the arbitration treaty; and we must say that Mr. Conway is consistent in his peace principles, because he ran away from his home in Virginia just as soon as our civil war opened and has been an Englishman ever since. Again, as we are reminded by the Rochester Union, he wanted to com- promise the war by having the rebels abolish slavery, promising that in return the abolitionists would help them destroy the government.

The Martian is invisible, and ap- pears to be the guardian angel of Barty, the chief hero of the book. She hypnotizes that gentleman, and makes hin get out of bed at night and write letters to himself at her dictation, She has lived thousands of years and remembers some portions of them; and in the last published install- ment of the work she is about to be born again, becoming the child of the blessed Barty. Thus we ought to have another story from du Maurier. If the Martian has the power attributed to her, why not du Maurier? comicbooks.com
