What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct satirical pieces from Judge magazine: **"Is Revenge Possible?"** discusses Japan's military superiority over China, questioning whether the Chinese can effectively retaliate given superior Japanese training and weaponry. **"Waldorf Astor as a Snob"** mocks Waldorf Astor's rejection of Captain Milne as a suitor for his daughter, portraying Astor as an arrogant aristocrat who disrespects those without social standing. **"The Gold Democrats"** satirizes Democratic politicians who refuse to support William Jennings Bryan's silver platform, showing them as unprincipled party members willing to abandon core Democratic positions for personal gain. The cartoons use exaggerated caricature and satirical dialogue to criticize perceived hypocrisy and class snobbery among the wealthy and politically powerful during the McKinley era.

HIS MARK. 1, Atrorney—"'As you are unable to write your name I will affix your signature to the document and you can make your mark by the side of it.’ RVING WINSLOW chides Sen- ator Hoar for not deserting McKinley; whereupon Senator Hoar spanks Erving Winslow with neat- ness and dispatch. ATHER CURIOUS SENSA- TIONS attend a brief recur- rence to Dennis Kearney, who de- clared incessantly, a few years ago, that the Chinese must go. HAs IT NOT been demonstrated that the Chi- nese cannot be Christianized? And what would we think if the Chinese sent missionaries here to convert us to the doctrines of Confucius? THE EDITOR of the New York Journal says if Mr. McKinley is re-elected he will be proclaimed Emperor William the first. This frankness is con- tagious. Should Mr. Bryan be elected we don’t be- lieve he would raise an extra pair of ears, soe R. GODKIN’S GORGE rises against Mr. Bry- an, but he says the people must take him as a medicine against the scoundrelism of McKinley. There is one comfort. The people of this country don’t have to take the amount of medicine against Mr. Godkin that they did while he was making an English newspaper of the Evening Post. IS REVENGE POSSIBLE? ‘THE WORLD OVER the motto against the Chinese is, “Revenge before mourning,” and it is just. The next question is, "Is it possible?” The heathen fight the best mili- tary talent and courage in the world and with their share of success. The Japanese whipped them out of their boots without any great exertion; but to-day they fight like demons and with the skill of men who have fought all their lives. Then, too, their weapons are better than ours, and their ammunition as well. How account for it? They have had the best instruction of Europe, and have bought the things they needed, including their courage, with lavish hands, WALDORF ASTOR AS A SNOB, WALDORF ASTOR'S INSULT of Captain Milne has caused him to be turned down by the prince of Wales and his set, and he is now a wanderer and without power in any kind of society. The man’s rebuke is thoroughly deserved, and it exhibits him as a cold-blooded, cruel egotist, totally without respect for the judgment of the very society he most wishes to enter; without judgment of his own as to social matters, and heartless as to the insults he contemplates against those to whom he has taken a dislike. They say he fears Milne as a suitor for his daughter's hand, wishing that young lady to marry a duke at least; but Milne would have brought him more honor than his family might have con- ferred on Milne. THE GOLD DEMOCRATS. ‘THE GOLD DEMOCRATS of Buffalo have been invited by the Bryanites to come out for the Nebraskan on the ground that the policy of expan- sion is not right, and to ignore the silver question altogether. They refuse; and in a note to the Buf- falo Express one of them undoubtedly speaks for all the others. He says: “There is no reason to think that the Demoeratie party, under the leadership of Bryan, would do any more to bring us out of these dangers speedily and with honor than the Repub- licans under McKiniey and Roosevelt. On almost every other national question, except the tariff, the Democratic platform is, simply rotten, Mr, Bryan, who dictated it, seems to learn no. wisdom by experience. I now expect to vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, although I do not agree with their views or the views of their party on several great national questions.” And that is the voice of all the gold Democrats who are not lonesome because they are without a party to swear by and do not care for one merely to swear at. 2.
