The main cartoon, titled "STILL DEAF," depicts two figures in a carriage—likely representing Mrs. Oluttimer and Mrs. Pottle in domestic conversation. The joke plays on marital communication: one woman asks if her husband still calls her "dear little buttercup," and the other responds he wastes more butter trying to cook than an "Astor-house chef," suggesting indifference to romantic pet names. Below, several brief satirical items mock Republicans as "fanatics," criticize Governor Candler of Georgia regarding abolition debates, and comment on Irish immigration and Cuban postal service theft. The page primarily contains social/political commentary typical of late 19th-century American satire, with domestic humor alongside sharper political criticism.

CASE OF SHOOTING by two old men in Trenton, New Jersey, over a woman of twenty-eight shows the power of illegitimate affection where it is least looked for; but very slight provocation is apt to show that it is possible in any part of the world. It is the most lasting of all foolish- ness, and it takes less account of scandal and common sense than anything else in the make-up of men and women. REPUBLICANS AND FANATICS. GOVERNOR CANDLER of Georgia says the Republican party was organized by abolitionists, and that its purpose was the abolishment of slavery. There wasn’t an abolitionist in the party in the beginning of it, and one of its purposes was simply a design to prevent the spreading of slavery.“ This breed of fanatics,” he further says, “still dominates the party of Lincoln, Seward and Chase.” What do they want to do that for? Whose slavery do they want to abolish now? CHURCH AND‘ STATE. R. SWALLOW, prohibitionist of Pennsylvania, has been nominated for president by the United Christian party. If this is a harmonious party it will be the first of the kind that ever happened. Dr. Swallow did very well on the prohibition ticket. If he can get back to that limited responsibility he may save his head; other- wise he and his princi- ples are liable to be torn into minute fragments, STEPHEN CRANE. THis COUNTRY will hear with re- gret of the illness of Stephen Crane in Eu- rope and the probabil- ity that he will die of consumption within a few weeks. It is a pity that he cannot live long enough to recov- er from the eccentricity of his writings, which has hurt his reputa- tion considerably. He is a good descriptive writer and a first-rate story-teller, and the experience he has ac- quired by travel has made his work pecul- iarly interesting and valuable. SALISBURY AND THE IRISH. THE SPEECH of Lord Salisbury on primrose day ignores the rights of the Irish without apology and with brutal plainness. He says they are not loyal, notwithstanding the fight- ing they are doing in South Africa, and they must be truly loyal before they can have home rule, ‘The deference shown the shamrock by the queen and the government is of no manner of account, nor is the fighting, and they must cool their heads until they have earned the rights they ask. Well, the Irish are themselves a plain-speaking people, and perhaps they will see more or less justice int the plain bluntness of the premier. EAR. THIEVES WHOSE DISGRACE WE BEAR. THE ROBBERY of the Cubans in the postal department of their gov- ernment is most unfortunate, It reminds one of the defalcation of a young negro in the Rochester post-office directly after the war, and of Frederick Douglass's remarks about it, “It is most unfortunate,” said Mr. Douglass. “It comes at exactly the wrong time. This young man was one of the first of the blacks honored by the government, and the country was watching him with intense interest. His dishonesty hurts the race.” Perhaps it is not so serious a matter that all Americans are hurt in the eyes of the men they have adopted; but it certainly gives them an opinion which all Americans will intensely regret. Why should these dis- honest men in Cuba have disgraced their country at this time and like a gang of thieves? comicbooks.com
