What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical Judge magazine cartoon from 1900 depicting an "administration" striking it rich. The image shows a well-dressed man in profile (likely representing a government official or administrator) who appears gleeful or satisfied, with other figures visible in the darker background. The caption "STRUCK THE N[...]" and phrase "The administration strikes it rich in?" suggest the cartoon satirizes government officials or the current administration obtaining wealth—possibly through corruption, patronage, or questionable dealings. The incomplete OCR text prevents identifying the specific scandal or event referenced. The dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and caricatured style emphasize the satirical nature, typical of Judge's political commentary during the McKinley administration era. Without complete text, the precise target remains unclear, but it critiques perceived dishonest enrichment by government officials.
