# Political Cartoon Analysis: Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon depicts a street scene with what appears to be a police officer or authority figure confronting civilians, including a woman and child. The caption "TAKING THINGS EASY" suggests commentary on law enforcement conduct or public order. The surrounding text references contemporary issues: Spanish-Cuban conflict, German romance/betting, Texas university popularity, and newspaper ethics regarding the Caneros from Weyler. References to "The Recall of Weyler" indicate this relates to Spanish colonial politics in Cuba. The page's satirical commentary targets various targets: governmental overreach, romantic excess, newspaper sensationalism, and what appears to be critique of Spanish imperial policies. However, without clearer identification of specific figures or exact publication date, precise political references remain partially unclear.

HONOR to the newspaper tnat hooked the girl Cisneros from Weyler: and should a war with Spain come of it we have no doubt the gen- erous man who owns the concern will pay all the expenses on our side. There is too much froth to the beer this journalist sells; but his enterprise is magnificent and his generosity, whatever its motive, has given joy to many a suffering heart. A NEW AUTUMN GAME, TIS A FACT that a German lover made a bet that he could kiss his sweetheart ten thousand times in ten hours, that he kissed her nearly four thousand times in three hours, and that then his lips became para lyzed and he lost the bet. Foolish extravagance like this ought to be severely rebuked; and yet it is likewise a fact that the girl was in prime condition at the close of the contest and felt hurt when the referee called off the match, A POSSIBLE SITUATION, T IS NOT unreasonable to suppose that, as alleged, Spain would give up Cuba were it not for the danger of a consequent revolution at home. It is a choice, in other words, between the killing of Cubans and the killing of Spaniards, and everybody in these cases prefers the sacrifice of the enemy. A slight war with the United States would perhaps pacify the Spaniards at home and open the way to Cuban independence without excessive humiliation of the Spanish government. A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. 1 JUPcE PRYOR of this town decides that there is such a thing as verbal outrage, and that it need not necessarily be attended with physical force, and accordingly grants a woman's petition for a separation from her too verbal husband. With this precedent established there are likely to be petitions from the other half of the domestic establishment, for the ability for abusive verbos- ity is more largely developed on the part of the weaker than the other sex. THE EXAMPLE OF THE ZUNIS. THE ZUNI INDIANS have concluded not to torture witches hereafter. Here is reform in an unex- pected quarter, and it is the more surprising because Spain sticks to torture in Spain, Cuba and the Philip- pines, while the sultan both tortures and assassinates, Presently, with the progress of the Zuni Indians before them, the Christian governments of Europe may pluck up courage and conscientiousness sufficiently to protect the men and women who belong to their own church. They are saving them- Robinson got his nose broken, Smith lost HE NEVER WILL BE MISSED. WILLIAM C. WHITNEY is reminded by the Atlanta Constitution that he isn’t as big a man as he thinks he is, and that his absence in Europe, the better to sulk and pout, is a matter of no consequence to the Democratic party. “The party got along without him last year,” says the Constitution in a final burst of scorn, “and they will be able to get along without him for many years to come.” Undoubtedly; but what kind of a“ get along” was it last year, anyhow? Something to brag of, was it? CHURCH AND STATE. God Almighty requires you to unite in your temple work and unite in your politics. You should unite to elect your city council and also all your state officials, You must put aside your Democracy and Republicanism and as latter-day saints unite. S° SAID Wilford Woodruff, president of a recent conference of Mor- mons at Salt Lake City. ‘The Mormons have a large majority over the Gentiles, and the church will doubtless rule in the local politics and that of the state, It is a good thing that federal law has drawn a line over which polygamy must not pass; but the church, working secretly, is half as bad as it used to be, while its impudence is greater tha: ever before. comicbooks.com
