The central cartoon depicts a chaotic shipboard scene with sailors and cargo in disarray. The caption reads: "CAPTAIN KIDD (to a very lazy buccaneers):—'This is the worst luck I've had since I've been a buccaneers.'" The accompanying text references a ship "loaded with Limburger cheese" with a "Port the helm and git out of here!" The satire appears to mock a situation involving extremely unpleasant cargo—Limburger cheese being notoriously foul-smelling. The joke equates even notorious pirate Captain Kidd finding conditions unbearable, suggesting the cheese's odor surpasses even criminal depravity as something intolerable. The cartoon satirizes American commercial excess or poor quality goods through this absurdist comparison, though the specific historical context remains unclear from this excerpt alone.

R EVEN THEM. Why, that blasted ship is loaded with Limburger cheese, and them MORE TYRANNY. THE YAQUI INDIANS have killed a good many Mexicans, but Sen- ators Hoar and Mason ought to offer a resolution of sympathy with them. Think, for instance, of the cruelty of the republic of Mexico in using its utmost military force to deprive of its liberty this heroic little band of men. REVOLUTION. THE DEMOCRATS of Kentucky are doing their utmost to render void and of no effect the result of the recent election in their state, and therefore to break up the system of government upon which this country has prospered for so many years. This is treason, and jit is treason with arms in hand and murder as a part of its method; and William Goebel, the man at the head of it, is the most dangerous man in this country to-day. THE RIGHT TO EARN. MBS: WILTON H. LOSEE of Kansas city wants to put two hundred thousand dollars into a college for the training of housekeepers and domestics, and thinks that such a college will remoye the distaste for do- mestic labor. Unhappily, there is no kind of training that will remove the fact that housekeeping is work, and as long as women can earn more at other kinds of work the dis- taste will remain. For, after all, they have a right to be ambitious. THE RIGHT TO OSCULATE, A FEW WEEKS ago a New Haven magistrate fined a young man and wo- man for kissing each other in the street, and more recently he fined a young man for throwing a kiss to his sweet- heart in his court. It occurs to us that youth has rights which the law is bound to j respect. This magistrate is evidently soulless, and the makers of the ordinances é which control New Haven are not only that but they create enactments which are an af- front to the laws of the state and to human rights and r sympathies. PERJURY AS A VIRTUE. GOVERNOR -GENER- AL WOOD is estab- lishing local courts in Cuba, so that men arrested for crime or misdemeanor need not waste their lives in prison before being tried. It is add- ed that he hopes to abolish perjury, but this is impossi- ble. In Cuba perjury is a virtue, and the right to lie is valued by a Cuban as a birth- right and an unavoidable means of self-protection. The Cubans have been very in- dignant over the curtailment of their privileges thus far, and it is possible that this later evidence of tyranny will drive them to the necessity of secession. This is the worst luck I've had since I've been Port the helm and git out of here!" IDIOTIC GHOSTS. HERE ARE GHOSTS in Saybrook, Connecticut, that ring bells and take books out of libraries and drop them on the floor; and in Pater- son, New Jersey, there are ghosts that throw dishes at children and steal tobacco-pipes. If these acts are not malicious they are childish; and now we think of it there was never yet a ghost that did anything of a practical nature. They are more like live witches than thinking beings; and the question is a reasonable one whether people deteriorate after death so as to be unable to conduct themselves, as ghosts, like rational semblances of themselves as they were in life. If that is the case death has more ter- rors than have been accredited it heretofore, and everybody will want to postpone his dying as long as he can. comicbooks.com
