# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several short political satires and commentary pieces typical of Judge magazine's style. **"Honor the Bird"** discusses the Easter hen's practical value—laying eggs—suggesting respect should follow utility rather than appearance. **"The Green to the Queen"** satirizes Anglo-Irish relations, mocking the Irish disposition to give Queen Victoria a cold welcome in Dublin. The piece suggests this reflects growing Irish-English tensions. **"A New Way to Win"** references revolutionary sentiment and shamrock symbolism, implying Irish independence movements may eventually surpass English political interest. Other pieces mock radical temperance advocates, Presbyterian church politics, and contemporary social debates. The cartoons use caricature and absurdist scenarios to ridicule political figures and movements of the era, though specific identifications require clearer visual detail.

HE EASTER HEN gathers her brood under her wings and clucks for expansion. HAT a magnificent absurdity is the proposi- tion that Dewey run for president on the Democratic ticket. Why not General Otis? T IS THE THREATS of France to fight great powers that keep her from being ranked among the little ones, but bluffs are not successful states- manship. PERHAPS if Uncle Paul were to be sent to Aus- tralia the Irish would ape the French on the St. Hel- ena question sufficiently to make fools of themselves, 'E TRUST the western paper that proposes to run itself as Captain Kidd would run it will be- gin by telling just where that dis- tinguished pirate hid his money. MBS: BLAKE, rival and defeated candidate, thinks Mrs. Catt is too young to serve as the head of the woman-suffragists, and do we not all know that Mrs. Blake isn’t? THERE IS MUCH POLITICS in the McLean family, and Ad- miral Dewey ought to bear in mind that he needs a guardian in behalf of common sense and against his new brother-in-law. THis Is GREATER NEW YORK notwithstanding the fact that Chicago got the world’s fair and Philadelphia gets the next Republican national convention. Possibly it will be the great cen ter-point on the day of judgment. SOYVHY SHOULD I marry?” asks a correspondent of the New York Evening Sun. “1 have a parrot that talks incessantly, a kitty that scratches the moment you stroke her backward, and a monkey that imitates all the other monkeys.” Why should either the animals or the man marry? They have evidently all the congenial company they want. box as evidence of the fact_— Pizen Pete's got AN UNLOOKED-FOR NECES: Parson (after the services)—" I'm glad to know that you've determined to lead a different life, Bill, and that you have put your guns in the contribution- What ! you don't want them back?

T HE NA- TIONAL BIRD is the Easter hen, She usually lays two egys a day, and on Easter Sun- day the eggs aré painted and ex- ceedingly nu- merous. Thisis a bird whose beauty is not visible to the av- erage eye, but whose practical has the respect. of all. Long may she wave, and may she presently learn to scream. THE GREEN TO THE QUEEN. THE DISPOSITION to give the queen a cold welcome to Dublin could not be made to work. ‘The Irishmen saw an old lady who was entitled to their courtesy both because of and regardless of her official position. ‘They were glad to see her, and the Irish face and voice are not capable of hiding emotions; so they cheered heartily, shouted lustily, and swung their hats as if they didn’t want them back. It was inadvertent, but it was as gratifying as if it had been done on purpose. value Tue Mexstaip—"'T prefer riding a horse to a bicycle.” A NEW WAY TO WIN. EVOLUTIONS never go back- ward, The affection of the queen and the English for the shamrock is growing rapidly, and it may become so pronounced that fon some occasions the green will go above the red. On that day the Irish will get their independence by licking somebody else, and perhaps they are not very particular as to the nationality of the party so hu- miiliated. RADICAL TEMPERANCE. A PROHIBITIONIST in Ohio has killed a saloon-keeper. That kind of argument goes too far; but if the law says so and hangs the murderer it will be pro- claimed by every temperance gath- 1g that the law is punishing vir- tue and good living and ought itself to be shot out of existence. For a radical temperance man never knows when he has come to the proper end of his argument. ONE CHURCH OF FREEDOM. Doctor HILLIS is out of Pres- byterianism, but he needn't be afraid that Plymouth church will not stand by him in any charges of y to any orthodoxy that may be brought against him. Plymouth and Beecher stood together the more the great preacher departed from the straight and narrow creeds, and the church conceived an affec- tion for its liberty which will last longer than its own walls and boundaries. And did not Father Abbott preach to Plymouth after he became so wabbly in his old faith that he couldn't stand on his own heels? : SITY. jest fer ter-night.
