What you’re looking at
This page contains brief political commentary and satirical cartoons from Judge magazine. **Political Items Referenced:** - Congressman Roberts of Utah (mentioned as having "three wives") - Democratic minority leadership and "Sulzer or Bailey" - The Dewey House (apparently a disputed property or administration) - Joseph Choate and Joseph Chamberlain discussing international relations - References to Russia, France, South Africa, and the Philippines **Cartoons:** "Benedict's View" shows a tall figure with a child, captioned about a "necessary evil." "A Facial Change" depicts two poker players, where four kings appear valuable but four aces appear larger—a visual pun about perception. The commentary criticizes various political figures and discusses Christmas peace prospects. However, **without specific dates or clearer context about which politicians are being targeted, precise identification of most figures remains unclear.**

FTER ALL, Congressman Roberts has only three wives and all of them of reduced size. HE LEADER of the Democratic minority in the house is a pretty good man because he isn’t Sulzer or Bailey. Sie. WAS IT understood by some of the contributors that the Dewey house should be run by a board of trustees? eee TRE QUESTION as to who will best fill Mr. Hanna's shoes will be eventually settled, we think, in favor of Mr. Hanna. ee: * GUINALDO, unlike his Democratic friends in this country, doesn’t quit running because «f any conclu- sions established by the ballot-box. SEVERAL LADIES have already left the federation of women in high dudgeon. It seems to be the old trouble. They can’t have everything their own way. 3 Fs R. ROBERTS of Utah expected to get into the house tor the purpose of being turned out; but as a matter of fact he stays out for the pur- pose of getting in.. eee B'sHoP HUNTINGTON defends the universal man against Miss An-- thony’s assertion that he is universally bad. there were a few exceptions. We always did think ee HITE BREAD, according to a scientist, is a scourge to humanity. May we adopt the advice of a certain queen whose people were cry- ing for bread, ‘Give them cake"? okese HOSE PORTIONS of the president’s message that are argumentative are convincing; and the facts involved in it are as filling and satisfy- ing as the national Christmas bird. 2 eee \ HE MENTION of Mr. Cleveland as the Democratic candidate for president has frightened the friends of Bryan half to death; but we suspect the back counties will go right on voting for Andrew Jackson. Sikes MB: HILL, itis solemnly announced, will support whomsoever the Dem- ocrats nominate for president, but quietly—quietly. The ex-senator has been very conservative for some time. He likes it, and whatever hap- pens he will retain his shirt and keep his scalp right where it is. A BENEDICY’S VIEW. ‘What is a ‘ necessary evil,’ pa?” “A motherio-iaw,\mny = THE DEWEY HOUSE. MARY ANDERSON was given a horse a good many years ago, and many of the contributors were angry because her step-father was per- mitted to ride the animal. The same ¢iass of contributors to the Dewey house are angry because it has been degded to the admiral’s wife, and are coarse enough to ask their money back! Perhaps it might have been more satisfactory for the admiral to keep the house; yet when a present is made the owner of the present has a right to regard it as his own, to do with as he thinks best. | BLOW THE CHRISTMAS HORN. W'TH JOSEPH CHOATE and Joseph Chamberlain talking of an unwritten union between England, the United States and Germany, and the assurance that there is at least the utmost good feeling between these nations, it may be assumed that the era of good-will has made a __tolerably fair-advance during the year. “Pity that Russia, France and South Africa are omitted from the impending compact; but on the other hand they are connected by more bonds of sympathy than heretofore, possibly asa matter of pure self-interest, but with a wholesome suspicion that as near an approach to peacé as possible will be more profitable to them than any action of a violent nature that may be avoided. The additional fact that the war in the Philippines is virtually ended contributes largely to the Christmas atmosphere; so that the next year may easily bring the peace on earth, good will to men, that the world is celebrating.
